5
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
6
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
8
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
9
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
10
(James Westby, #122656)
12
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
13
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
15
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
16
authentication header.
17
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
19
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
20
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
21
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
23
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
24
individually and as part of revision ranges.
27
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
28
(Martin Pool, #109169)
30
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
31
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
35
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
36
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
37
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
38
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
39
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
40
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
42
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
43
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
44
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley)
46
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
49
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
50
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
52
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
53
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
55
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
56
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
58
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
59
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
60
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
61
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
62
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
64
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
65
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
67
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
68
can be slow it is useful feedback).
69
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
71
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
72
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
74
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
75
output. (Aaron Bentley)
77
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
78
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
81
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
84
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
85
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
87
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
88
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
90
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.

110
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
111
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
112
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
115
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
116
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
117
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
119
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
120
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
122
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
123
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
125
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
129
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
131
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
132
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
134
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
135
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
136
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
138
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
139
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
140
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
142
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
143
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
148
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
149
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
150
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
151
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
153
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
154
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
155
testing. (Robert Collins)
157
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
158
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
160
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
161
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
162
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
163
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
164
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
165
attribute during the test parameterisation in
166
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
168
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
169
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
170
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
171
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
173
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
174
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
176
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
177
avoid useless cloning.
178
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
185
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
186
(Colin Watson, #120647)
188
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.
189
(Aaron Bentley, Ian Clatworthy, #120930)
192
bzr 0.17rc1 2007-06-12
194
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
196
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
197
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
198
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
199
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
200
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
201
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
202
and unlock() like so::
204
work_tree.lock_read()
206
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
211
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
212
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
214
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
215
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
216
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
218
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
219
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
220
too. (Robert Collins)
224
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
225
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
228
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
231
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
232
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
234
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
235
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
236
understanding what changes have occurred
237
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
239
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
240
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
241
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
243
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
244
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
245
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
246
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
248
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
253
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
254
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
255
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
256
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
257
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
259
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
260
based on split paths, not just string paths.
261
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
263
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
264
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
266
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
268
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
270
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
271
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
273
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
274
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
276
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
277
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
279
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
280
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
282
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
283
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
285
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
286
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
287
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
293
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
294
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
295
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
296
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
297
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
299
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
300
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
301
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
303
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
304
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
308
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
309
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
310
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
312
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
313
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
314
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
315
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
317
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
321
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
322
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
323
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
324
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
326
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
327
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
328
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
330
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
331
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
333
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
334
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
336
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
337
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
339
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
341
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
343
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
344
it could be recovered again.
345
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
346
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
347
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
349
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
351
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
352
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
356
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
357
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
359
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
360
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
361
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
362
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
364
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
365
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
367
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
368
tests with names that match that regular expression.
369
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
371
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
372
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
373
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
375
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
376
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
377
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
379
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
380
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
383
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
386
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
387
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
388
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
389
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
391
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
394
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
395
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
396
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
399
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
400
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
402
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
403
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
405
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
406
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
407
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
408
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
411
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
412
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
414
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
415
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
417
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
418
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
419
(Robert Collins, #107125).
421
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
422
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
423
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
425
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
426
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
427
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
429
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
430
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
431
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
432
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
434
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
435
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
436
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
437
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
439
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
440
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
441
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
442
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
443
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
444
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
445
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
446
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
452
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
453
code paths. (Robert Collins)
455
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
456
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
457
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
458
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
459
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
461
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
462
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
464
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
465
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
467
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
468
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
470
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
471
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
473
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
474
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
475
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
478
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
479
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
480
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
481
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
482
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
485
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
486
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
487
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
489
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
490
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
493
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
494
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
495
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
498
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
499
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
500
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
501
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
502
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
504
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
505
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
506
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
507
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
509
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
510
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
512
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
513
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
514
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
515
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
516
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
517
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
519
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
520
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
522
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
523
help. (Robert Collins)
525
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
526
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
528
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
529
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
530
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
531
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
534
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
535
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
536
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
537
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
538
useful. (Robert Collins)
540
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
545
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
546
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
548
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
549
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
551
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
552
properly and is no longer beneficial.
553
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
555
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
558
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
559
the file, and does it faster.
560
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
562
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
563
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
564
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
566
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
567
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
568
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
569
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
571
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
572
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
573
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
574
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
576
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
577
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
579
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
580
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
581
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
582
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
585
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
587
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
588
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
590
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
591
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
593
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
594
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
595
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
596
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
600
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
601
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
605
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
606
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
607
in running it. (Robert Collins)
609
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
610
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
612
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
613
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
614
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
615
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
616
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
617
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
618
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
619
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
621
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
622
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
623
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
625
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
626
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
627
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
628
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
629
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
631
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
633
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
634
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
635
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
637
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
638
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
645
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
648
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
649
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
652
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
656
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
657
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
662
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
663
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
664
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
665
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
666
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
667
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
668
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
669
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
674
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
675
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
676
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
678
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
679
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
682
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
683
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
686
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
687
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
688
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
689
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
690
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
694
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
697
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
698
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
700
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
701
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
703
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
704
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
705
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
707
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
708
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
710
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
711
last-changed-revision for directories. The
712
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
713
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
714
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
716
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
717
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
718
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
720
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
723
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
725
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
727
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
728
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
729
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
733
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
734
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
736
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
737
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
739
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
741
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
742
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
744
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
745
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
749
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
754
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
755
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
756
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
757
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
759
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
760
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
762
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
763
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
765
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
768
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
769
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
772
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
776
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
777
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
778
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
779
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
780
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
781
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
783
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
784
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
785
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
786
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
787
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
788
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
790
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
792
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
793
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
794
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
795
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
796
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
797
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
798
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
799
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
803
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
804
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
806
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
807
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
808
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
809
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
811
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
812
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
813
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
814
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
815
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
817
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
820
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
823
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
826
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
827
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
830
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
833
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
834
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
836
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
837
directory. (Martin Pool)
839
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
840
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
841
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
842
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
844
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
845
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
846
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
847
in docs/configuration.txt.
849
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
850
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
853
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
854
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
855
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
856
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
857
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
858
repositories. (Martin Pool)
860
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
861
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
863
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
864
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
866
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
871
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
872
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
873
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
874
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
875
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
878
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
879
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
882
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
883
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
886
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
887
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
888
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
889
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
890
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
891
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
893
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
894
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
895
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
897
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
898
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
899
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
900
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
902
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
904
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
905
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
906
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
907
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
909
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
910
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
911
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
912
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
914
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
915
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
916
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
918
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
919
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
920
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
922
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
923
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
924
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
925
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
927
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
928
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
929
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
931
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
932
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
933
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
935
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
936
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
937
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
938
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
939
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
940
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
941
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
942
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
943
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
944
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
945
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
949
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
950
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
951
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
953
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
956
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
957
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
958
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
959
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
961
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
962
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
965
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
966
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
968
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
970
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
971
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
972
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
974
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
975
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
977
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
978
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
980
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
981
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
983
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
984
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
986
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
988
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
989
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
993
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
994
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
1001
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
1005
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
1006
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
1007
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
1009
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
1010
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
1011
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
1014
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
1018
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
1019
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
1020
server, then you can write over the http connection.
1021
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1023
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
1026
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
1027
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
1028
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1030
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
1031
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
1033
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
1036
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
1037
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
1038
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
1039
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
1040
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
1041
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
1043
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
1044
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
1045
should enable you to do::
1047
[/home/user/project]
1048
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
1049
push_location:policy = appendpath
1051
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
1052
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
1055
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
1056
for each file. For example::
1058
$ bzr status --short
1064
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
1065
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
1067
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
1069
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
1070
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
1072
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
1076
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
1077
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
1078
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
1079
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
1081
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
1082
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
1083
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
1085
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1087
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
1088
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
1089
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
1090
(Alexander Belchenko)
1092
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
1095
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
1096
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
1098
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
1102
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
1103
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
1105
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
1106
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
1107
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
1108
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
1109
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
1111
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
1112
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
1114
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
1115
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
1117
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
1119
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
1121
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
1122
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
1123
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
1124
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
1125
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
1127
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
1128
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
1129
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
1130
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
1132
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
1133
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
1135
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
1136
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
1138
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
1139
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
1141
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

No changes from 0.13rc1

bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
1153
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
1155
(Daniel Silverstone)
1157
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
1158
operations are substantially faster.
1159
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
1161
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
1162
tree from some other url. For example:
1163
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
1164
(Daniel Silverstone)
1166
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
1167
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
1168
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
1169
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
1171
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
1174
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
1175
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
1176
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
1177
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
1178
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
1179
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
1183
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
1184
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
1187
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1188
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1189
(John Arbash Meinel)
1191
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
1192
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
1193
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
1194
(John Arbash Meinel)
1196
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
1197
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
1199
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
1200
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1202
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
1203
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
1208
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
1209
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
1210
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
1212
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
1213
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
1214
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
1215
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
1217
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
1219
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
1220
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
1222
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
1223
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
1224
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
1225
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
1227
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
1228
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
1229
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
1231
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
1232
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
1233
them as full references rather than integers.
1234
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
1236
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
1237
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
1239
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
1241
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
1242
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
1244
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
1245
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
1247
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
1248
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
1249
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
1250
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
1252
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
1253
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
1254
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
1256
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
1257
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
1259
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
1260
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
1261
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
1262
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
1263
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
1267
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
1268
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
1274
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1275
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1276
(John Arbash Meinel)
1278
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
1282
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
1283
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
1284
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
1285
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
1287
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
1288
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
1290
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
1292
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
1293
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
1294
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
1295
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1297
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
1298
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
1299
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
1300
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
1301
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
1303
API INCOMPATABILITY:
1305
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
1306
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
1310
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
1311
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
1312
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1314
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
1315
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
1316
(John Arbash Meinel)
1318
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
1319
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
1320
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
1322
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
1323
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
1326
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
1327
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
1328
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1330
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
1331
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
1332
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
1333
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
1334
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
1335
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1337
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
1338
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
1339
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
1342
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
1343
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
1347
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
1348
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
1349
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
1352
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
1353
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
1355
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
1356
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
1357
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
1359
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
1360
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
1362
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
1363
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
1364
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
1365
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
1367
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
1368
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
1370
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
1371
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
1372
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
1374
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
1375
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
1377
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1379
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
1380
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
1385
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
1386
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
1387
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
1388
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
1390
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
1391
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
1392
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1396
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
1398
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
1402
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
1404
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
1407
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
1411
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
1412
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
1413
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
1414
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
1415
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
1416
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
1417
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
1419
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
1420
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
1421
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
1423
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
1425
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
1426
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
1428
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
1429
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
1430
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
1433
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
1434
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
1435
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
1436
(John Arbash Meinel)
1438
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
1439
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
1440
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
1441
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
1444
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
1445
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
1446
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
1447
(John Arbash Meinel)
1451
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
1452
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
1454
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
1456
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
1457
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
1458
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
1460
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
1461
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
1463
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
1464
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
1466
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
1467
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
1469
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
1470
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
1472
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
1474
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
1475
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
1477
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
1478
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
1480
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
1481
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
1483
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
1484
(John Arbash Meinel)
1486
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
1487
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
1488
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
1490
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
1491
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1493
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
1494
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
1495
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
1496
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
1498
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
1499
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
1500
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
1502
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
1503
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
1507
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
1511
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
1512
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
1513
(John Arbash Meinel)
1515
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
1516
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
1517
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
1518
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1520
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
1523
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
1524
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
1525
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
1527
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
1528
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
1530
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
1531
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
1532
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
1534
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
1535
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
1536
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
1537
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
1538
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
1539
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
1540
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
1541
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
1542
caller to repeat their request.
1543
(John Arbash Meinel)
1545
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
1546
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
1548
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
1549
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
1551
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
1552
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
1553
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
1554
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
1555
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
1556
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
1557
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
1559
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
1560
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
1561
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
1562
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
1563
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
1564
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
1565
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
1566
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
1569
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
1570
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
1571
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
1573
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
1574
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
1576
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
1577
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
1579
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
1580
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1584
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
1585
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
1587
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
1588
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
1589
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1591
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
1592
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
1593
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1598
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
1599
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
1601
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
1602
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
1603
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
1604
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
1605
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
1607
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
1608
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
1609
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
1611
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
1612
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
1614
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
1615
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
1616
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1620
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
1622
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
1623
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
1624
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
1626
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
1628
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
1630
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
1631
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
1632
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
1633
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
1635
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
1636
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
1637
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
1638
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
1639
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
1641
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
1642
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
1644
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
1645
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
1647
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
1648
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
1650
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
1651
in handling of revision properties.
1652
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
1654
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
1655
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
1659
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
1660
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
1661
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
1662
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
1663
(John Arbash Meinel)
1665
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
1666
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
1667
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
1669
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
1673
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
1674
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
1675
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
1676
specific one '.bzrignore'.
1677
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
1678
a more conservative list than the old default.
1679
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
1680
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
1681
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
1682
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
1684
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
1685
to more locations than just branch locations.
1690
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
1691
revno:N:branch. For example,
1692
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
1693
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
1695
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
1696
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
1697
the path of a file that has been versioned.
1698
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
1699
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
1700
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
1701
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
1702
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
1705
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
1706
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
1707
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
1710
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
1711
(Alexander Belchenko)
1713
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
1715
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
1718
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
1719
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
1720
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
1721
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
1722
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
1723
(John Arbash Meinel)
1725
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
1726
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
1727
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
1728
grained analysis of performance.
1729
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1731
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
1732
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
1734
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
1735
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
1736
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
1737
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
1738
file. (Robert Collins).
1740
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
1741
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
1742
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
1744
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
1745
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
1748
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
1749
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
1751
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
1752
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
1753
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
1754
the same way you would apply another branch.
1755
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1757
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
1758
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
1760
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
1763
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
1766
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
1767
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
1768
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
1770
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
1771
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
1772
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
1774
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
1775
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
1777
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
1778
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
1779
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
1780
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
1781
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
1783
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
1784
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
1786
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
1787
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
1788
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
1789
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
1790
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
1791
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
1792
branch is as much as 4x faster.
1793
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
1795
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
1796
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
1797
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
1801
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
1803
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
1805
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
1806
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1808
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
1809
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
1811
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
1812
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
1814
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
1816
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
1817
(John Arbash Meinel)
1819
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
1820
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
1822
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
1823
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
1826
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
1827
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
1829
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
1830
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
1832
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
1833
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
1834
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
1835
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
1837
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
1838
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
1840
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
1842
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
1843
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
1845
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
1847
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
1849
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
1850
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
1852
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
1853
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
1855
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
1856
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
1857
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
1859
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
1860
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
1861
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
1863
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
1864
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
1866
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
1867
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
1869
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
1870
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
1872
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
1873
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
1875
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
1876
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
1878
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
1879
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
1880
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
1882
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
1884
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
1885
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
1889
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
1890
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
1891
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
1893
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
1894
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
1896
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
1897
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
1898
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1900
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
1901
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1903
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
1904
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
1907
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
1908
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
1909
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1911
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
1912
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
1913
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1915
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
1916
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
1917
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
1919
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
1920
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
1921
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
1923
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
1924
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
1925
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
1927
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
1928
instead. (Robert Collins)
1930
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
1932
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
1936
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
1938
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
1942
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
1943
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
1945
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
1946
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1948
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
1949
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
1950
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
1954
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
1956
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
1957
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
1959
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
1963
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
1964
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
1965
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
1966
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
1970
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
1971
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
1972
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
1976
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
1977
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
1978
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1982
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
1983
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
1987
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1989
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
1990
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
1991
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
1992
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
1993
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
1994
will keep the same format.
1996
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
1997
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
1998
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
1999
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
2000
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
2002
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
2003
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
2004
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
2005
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
2006
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
2007
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
2008
indicating the current revision of the branch.
2010
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
2011
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
2012
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
2013
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
2014
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
2016
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
2017
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
2018
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
