Compatibility Breaks
13
********************
14
15
* A previously disabled code path to accelerate getting configuration
16
settings from a smart server has been reinstated. We think this *may*
17
cause a incompatibility with servers older than bzr 0.15. We intend
18
to issue a point release to address this if it turns out to be a
19
problem. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
20
21
* bzr no longer autodetects nested trees as 'tree-references'. They
22
must now be explicitly added tree references. At the commandline, use
23
join --reference instead of add. (Aaron Bentley)
24
25
* The ``--long`` log format (the default) no longer shows merged
26
revisions implicitly, making it consistent with the ``short`` and
27
``line`` log formats. To see merged revisions for just a given
28
revision, use ``bzr log -n0 -rX``. To see every merged revision,
29
use ``bzr log -n0``. (Ian Clatworthy)
30
31
New Features
32
************
33
34
* New formats ``1.14`` and ``1.14-rich-root`` supporting End-Of-Line
35
(EOL) conversions, keyword templating (via the bzr-keywords plugin)
36
and generic content filtering. These formats replace the experimental
37
``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root`` formats
38
respectively, but have support for filtered views disabled.
39
(Ian Clatworthy)
40
41
* New ``mv --auto`` option recognizes renames after they occur.
42
(Aaron Bentley)
43
44
* ``bzr`` can now get passwords from stdin without requiring a controlling
45
terminal (i.e. by redirecting stdin). (Vincent Ladeuil)
46
47
* ``bzr log`` now supports filtering of multiple files and directories
48
and will show changes that touch any of them. Furthermore,
49
directory filtering now shows the changes to any children of that
50
directory, not just the directory object itself.
51
(Ian Clatworthy, #97715)
52
53
* ``bzr shelve`` can now apply changes without storing anything on the
54
shelf, via the new --destroy option. (Aaron Bentley)
55
56
* ``bzr send`` now accepts --body to specify an initial message body.
57
(Aaron bentley)
58
59
* ``bzr xxx --usage`` where xxx is a command now shows a usage
60
message and the options without the descriptive help sections
61
(like Description and Examples). A message is also given
62
explaining how to see the complete help, i.e. ``bzr help xxx``.
63
(Ian Clatworthy)
64
65
* Content filters can now be used to provide custom conversion
66
between the canonical format of content (i.e. as stored) and
67
the convenience format of content (i.e. as created in working
68
trees). See ``bzr help content-filters`` for further details.
69
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
70
71
* End-of-line conversion is now supported for formats supporting
72
content filtering. See ``bzr help eol`` for details.
73
(Ian Clatworthy)
74
75
Improvements
76
************
77
78
* A new format name alias ``default-rich-root`` has been added and
79
points at the closest relative of the default format that supports
80
rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #338061)
81
82
* Branching from a stacked branch using ``bzr*://`` will now stream
83
the data when the target repository does not need topological
84
ordering, reducing round trips and network overhead. This uses the
85
existing smart server methods added in 1.13, so will work on any
86
1.13 or newer server. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
87
88
* ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr export`` now supports a ``--filters`` option
89
that displays/saves the content after content filters are applied.
90
(Ian Clatworthy)
91
92
* ``bzr ignore`` gives a more informative message when existing
93
version controlled files match the ignore pattern. (Neil
94
Martinsen-Burrell, #248895)
95
96
* ``bzr send`` is faster on repositories with deep histories.
97
(Ian Clatworthy)
98
99
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
100
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
101
102
* Pushing to a stacked pack-format branch on a 1.12 or older smart server
103
now takes many less round trips. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins,
104
#294479)
105
106
* Streaming push can be done to older repository formats. This is
107
implemented using a new ``Repository.insert_stream_locked`` RPC.
108
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
109
110
* The "ignoring files outside view: .." message has been re-worded
111
to "Ignoring files outside view. View is .." to reduce confusion
112
about what was being considered and what was being ignored.
113
(Ian Clatworthy)
114
115
* The ``long`` log formatter now shows [merge] indicators. If
116
only one level of revisions is displayed and merges are found,
117
the ``long`` and ``short`` log formatters now tell the user
118
how to see the hidden merged revisions. (Ian Clatworthy)
119
120
* Tildes are no longer escaped. No more %7Euser/project/branch!
121
(Jonathan Lange)
122
123
Bug Fixes
124
*********
125
126
* Authentication plugins now receive all the parameters from the request
127
itself (aka host, port, realm, path, etc). Previously, only the
128
authentication section name, username and encoded password were
129
provided. (Jean-Francois Roy)
130
131
* bzr gives a better message if an invalid regexp is passed to ``bzr log
132
-m``. (Anne Mohsen, Martin Pool)
133
134
* ``bzr version-info`` now works in empty branches. (Jelmer Vernooij,
135
#313028)
136
137
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
138
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
139
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
140
141
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
142
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
143
144
* Fixed "Specified file 'x/y/z' is outside current view: " occurring
145
on ``bzr add x/y/z`` in formats supporting views when no view is
146
defined. (Ian Clatworthy, #344708)
147
148
* It is no longer possible to fetch between repositories while the
149
target repository is in a write group. This prevents race conditions
150
that prevent the use of RPC's to perform fetch, and thus allows
151
optimising more operations. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
152
153
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
154
155
* No more warnings are issued about ``sha`` being deprecated under python-2.6.
156
(Vincent Ladeuil, #346593)
157
158
* Pushing a new branch to a server that has a stacking policy will now
159
upgrade from the local branch format when the stacking policy points at
160
a branch which is itself stackable, because we know the client can read
161
both branches, we know that the trunk for the project can be read too,
162
so the upgrade will not inconvenience users. (Robert Collins, #345169)
163
164
* The GNU Changelog formatter is slightly improved in the case where
165
the delta is empty, and now correctly claims not to support tags.
166
(Andrea Bolognani)
167
168
* Shelve can now shelve changes to a symlink target.
169
(James Westby, #341558)
170
171
* The help for the ``info`` command has been corrected.
172
(Ian Clatworthy, #351931)
173
174
* Upgrade will now use a sensible default format if the source repository
175
uses rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #252908)
176
177
Documentation
178
*************
179
180
* Expanded the index of the developer documentation. (Eric Siegerman)
181
182
* New topic `bzr help debug-flags`. (Martin Pool)
183
184
* The generated manpage now explicitly lists aliases as commands.
185
(James Westby, #336998)
186
187
API Changes
188
***********
189
190
* APIs deprecated in 1.6 and previous versions of bzr are now removed.
191
(Martin Pool)
192
193
* ``CommitReporter`` is no longer called with ``unchanged`` status during
194
commit - this was a full-tree overhead that bzr no longer performs.
195
(Robert Collins)
196
197
* New abstract ``UIFactory`` method ``get_username`` which will be called to
198
obtain the username to use when connecting to remote machines.
199
(Jelmer Vernooij)
200
201
* New API ``Inventory.filter()`` added that filters an inventory by
202
a set of file-ids so that only those fileids, their parents and
203
their children are included. (Ian Clatworthy)
204
205
* New sort order for ``get_record_stream`` ``groupcompress`` which
206
sorts optimally for use with groupcompress compressors. (John Arbash
207
Meinel, Robert Collins)
208
209
* Repository APIs ``get_deltas_for_revisions()`` and
210
``get_revision_delta()`` now support an optional ``specific_fileids``
211
parameter. If provided, the deltas are filtered so that only those
212
file-ids, their parents and their children are included.
213
(Ian Clatworthy)
214
215
* The ``get_credentials`` and ``set_credentials`` methods of
216
``AuthenticationConfig`` now accept an optional realm argument.
217
(Jean-Francois Roy)
218
219
* The ``pb`` argument to ``fetch()`` is deprecated.
220
(Martin Pool)
221
222
* The ``Serializer`` class and the serializer ``format registry`` have moved
223
from ``bzrlib.xml_serializer`` to ``bzrlib.serializer``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
224
225
* The smart server jail now hooks into BzrDir.open to prevent any BzrDir
226
that is not inside the backing transport from being opened. See the
227
module documentation for ``bzrlib.smart.request`` for details.
228
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
229
230
* ``Tree.get_symlink_target`` now always returns a unicode string result
231
or None. Previously it would return the bytes from reading the link
232
which could be in any arbitrary encoding. (Robert Collins)
233
234
Testing
235
*******
236
237
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now fails the test if its own ``setUp``
238
and ``tearDown`` weren't called. This catches faulty tests that
239
forget to upcall when overriding ``setUp`` and ``tearDown``. Those
240
faulty tests were not properly isolated.
241
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
242
243
* Fix test_msgeditor.MsgEditorTest test isolation.
244
(Vincent Ladeuil, #347130)
245
246
* ``medusa`` is not used anymore as an FTP test server starting with
247
python2.6. A new FTP test server based on ``pyftplib`` can be used
248
instead. This new server is a soft dependency as medusa which is still
249
preferred if both are available (modulo python version).
250
(Vincent Ladeuil)
251
252
Internals
253
*********
254
255
* Added ``bzrlib.chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string
256
maps. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
257
258
* Added ``bzrlib.inventory_delta`` module. This will be used for
259
serializing and deserializing inventory deltas for more efficient
260
streaming on the the network. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
261
262
* ``Branch._get_config`` has been added, which splits out access to the
263
specific config file from the branch. This is used to let RemoteBranch
264
avoid constructing real branch objects to access configuration settings.
265
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
266
267
* ``Branch`` now implements ``set_stacked_on_url`` in the base class as
268
the implementation is generic and should impact foreign formats. This
269
helps performance for ``RemoteBranch`` push operations to new stacked
270
branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
271
272
* ``BtreeIndex._spill_mem_keys_to_disk()`` now generates disk index with
273
optmizations turned off. This only has effect when processing > 100,000
274
keys during something like ``bzr pack``. (John Arbash Meinel)
275
276
* ``bzr selftest`` now accepts ``--subunit`` to run in subunit output
277
mode. Requires ``lp:subunit`` installed to work, but is not a hard
278
dependency. (Robert Collins)
279
280
* ``BzrDir.open_branch`` now takes an optional ``ignore_fallbacks``
281
parameter for controlling opening of stacked branches.
282
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
283
284
* ``CommitBuilder`` has a new method, ``record_iter_changes`` which works
285
in terms of an iter_changes iterator rather than full tree scanning.
286
(Robert Collins)
287
288
* ``DirState`` can now be passed a custom ``SHA1Provider`` object
289
enabling it to store the SHA1 and stat of the canonical (post
290
content filtered) form. (Ian Clatworthy)
291
292
* New ``assertLength`` method based on one Martin has squirreled away
293
somewhere. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
294
295
* New hook ``BzrDir.pre_open`` which runs before opening ``BzrDir``
296
objects, allowing better enforcement of the smart server jail when
297
dealing with stacked branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
298
299
* New hook ``RioVersionInfoBuilder.revision``, allowing extra entries
300
to be added to the stanza that is printed for a particular revision.
301
(Jelmer Vernooij)
302
303
* New repository method ``refresh_data`` to cause any repository to
304
make visible data inserted into the repository by a smart server
305
fetch operation. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
306
307
* ``register_filter_stack_map`` now takes an optional fallback parameter,
308
a callable to invoke if a preference has a value not in the map
309
of filter stacks. This enhancement allows, for example, bzr-svn to
310
handle existing svn properties that define a list of keywords to be
311
expanded. (Ian Clatworthy)
312
313
* ``RemoteBranchConfig`` will use a new verb ``Branch.set_config_option``
314
to write config settings to smart servers that support this, saving
315
5 round trips on the stacked streaming acceptance test.
316
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
317
318
* ``RemoteBranch`` now provides ``_get_config`` for access to just the
319
branch specific configuration from a remote server, which uses the
320
already existing ``Branch.get_config_file`` smart verb.
321
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
322
323
* ``RemoteRepository`` will now negatively cache missing revisions during
324
``get_parent_map`` while read-locked. Write-locks are unaffected.
325
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
326
327
* Removed ``InterRemoteToOther``, ``InterOtherToRemote`` and
328
``InterPackToRemotePack`` classes, as they are now unnecessary.
329
(Andrew Bennetts)
330
331
* ``RepositoryFormat`` as a new attribute ``fast_deltas`` to indicate
332
whether the repository can efficiently generate deltas between trees
333
regardless of tree size. (Robert Collins)
334
335
* ``Repository.iter_files_bytes()`` now properly returns an "iterable of
336
byte strings" (aka 'chunked') for the content. It previously was
337
returning a plain string, which worked, but performed very poorly when
338
building a working tree (file.writelines(str) is very inefficient). This
339
can have a large effect on ``bzr checkout`` times. (John Arbash Meinel)
340
341
* selftest now supports a --parallel option, with values of 'fork' or
342
'subprocess' to run the test suite in parallel. Currently only linux
343
machine work, other platforms need patches submitted. (Robert Collins,
344
Vincent Ladeuil)
345
346
* ``tests.run_suite`` has a new parameter ``suite_decorators``, a list of
347
callables to use to decorate the test suite. Such decorators can add or
348
remove tests, or even remote the test suite to another machine if
349
desired. (Robert Collins)
350
351
* The smart server verb ``Repository.get_parent_map`` can now include
352
information about ghosts when the special revision ``include-missing:``
353
is in the requested parents map list. With this flag, ghosts are
354
included as ``missing:REVISION_ID``. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
355
356
* ``_walk_to_common_revisions`` will now batch up at least 50
357
revisions before calling ``get_parent_map`` on the target,
358
regardless of ``InterRepository``.
359
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)

bzr 1.13
362
########
363
364
:Codename: paraskavedekatriaphobia
365
:1.13: 2009-03-14
366
:1.13rc1: 2009-03-10
367
:1.13.1: 2009-03-23
368
369
GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``. Debug
370
flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``. Lightweight checkouts and
371
stacked branches should both be much faster over remote connections.
372
373
Changes From 1.13 to 1.13.1
374
***************************
375
A couple regessions where found in the 1.13 release. The pyrex-generated C
376
extensions are missing from the .tar.gz and .zip files. Documentation on how
377
to generate GNU ChangeLogs is wrong.
378
379
Bug Fixes
380
*********
381
382
* Change ``./bzr``'s ``_script_version`` to match ./bzrlib/__init__.py
383
version_info. (Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, #345232)
384
385
* Distribution archives for 1.13 do not contain generated C extension modules
386
(Jean-Francois Roy, Bob Tanner, #344465)
387
388
* GNU ChangeLog output can now be produced by bzr log --format gnu-changelog is
389
incorrect (Deejay, Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #343928)
390
391
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
392
393
Changes From RC1 to Final
394
*************************
395
396
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
397
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
398
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
399
400
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
401
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
402
403
Compatibility Breaks
404
********************
405
406
* ``bzr log --line`` now indicates which revisions are merges with
407
`[merge]` after the date. Scripts which parse the output of this
408
command may need to be adjusted.
409
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
410
411
New Features
412
************
413
414
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
415
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
416
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
417
418
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
419
(Martin Pool)
420
421
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
422
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
423
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.

* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
430
(John Arbash Meinel)

* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
433
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)

Improvements
445
************
446
447
* All bzr ``Hooks`` classes are now registered in
448
``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks``. This removes the separate list from
449
``bzrlib.tests`` and ensures that all hooks registered there are
450
correctly isolated by the test suite (previously
451
``MutableTreeHooks`` were not being isolated correctly). Further,
452
documentation for hooks is now dynamically generated from the
453
present HookPoints. ``bzr hooks`` will now also report on all the
454
hooks present in the ``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks`` registry.
455
(Robert Collins)
456
457
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
458
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
459
460
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
461
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
462
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
463
464
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
465
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
466
467
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
468
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
469
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
470
(Ian Clatworthy)
471
472
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
473
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
474
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
475
476
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
477
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
478
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
479
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
480
481
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
482
(Jelmer Vernooij)
483
484
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
485
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
486
487
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
488
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
489
490
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
491
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
492
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
493
494
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
495

Bug Fixes
497
*********
498
499
* Allows ``bzr log <FILE>`` to be called in an empty branch without
500
backtracing. (Vincent Ladeuil, #346431)
501
502
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
503
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
504
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
505
506
* ``bzr cat -r<old> <path>`` doesn't traceback anymore when <path> has a
507
file id in the working tree different from the one in revision <old>.
508
(Vincent Ladeuil, #341517, #253806)
509
510
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
511
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
512
513
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
514
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
515
Vernooij, #315048)
516
517
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
518
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
519
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
520
521
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
522
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
523
524
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
525
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
526
527
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
528
(James Westby, #174539)
529
530
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
531
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
532
533
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
534
error branching from old repositories.
535
(Martin Pool, #321695)
536
537
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
538
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
539
540
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
541
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
542
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
543
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
544
545
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
546
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko)
547
548
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
549
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
550
551
* Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported.
552
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444)
553
554
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
555
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
556
when needed. (Vincent Ladeuil)
557
558
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
559
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
560
561
* shelve cleans up properly when unversioned files are specified.
562

*************
566
567
* Added ``Organizing your workspace`` to the User Guide appendices,
568
summarizing some common ways of organizing trees, branches and
569
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
570
(Ian Clatworthy)
571
572
* Hooks can now be self documenting. ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook``
573
is the entry point for this feature. (Robert Collins)
574
575
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.

API Changes
579
***********
580
581
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
582
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
583
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
584
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
585
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
586
587
* ``bzrlib.branch.PushResult`` was renamed to
588
``bzrlib.branch.BranchPushResult``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
589
590
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
591
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
592
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
593
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
594
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
595
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
596
597
* ``Inventory.apply_delta`` now raises an AssertionError if a file-id
598
appears multiple times within the delta. (Ian Clatworthy)
599
600
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
601
"author" argument being deprecated.
602
603
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
604
605
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
606
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
607
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
608
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
609
610
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
611
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
612
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
613
614
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
615
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
616
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
617
618
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
619
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
620
621
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
622
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
623
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
624
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
625
626
Internals
627
*********
628
629
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
630
free of virtual file system methods.
631
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
632
633
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
634
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
635
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
636
637
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
638
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
639
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
640
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
641
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
642
(Robert Collins, #334187)
643
644
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
645
646
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
647
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
648
649
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
650
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
651
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
652
stream the operation.
653
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
654
655
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
656
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
657
658
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
659
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
660
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
661
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
662
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
663
664
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
665
branch object. (Robert Collins)
666
667
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
668
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
669
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
670
671
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
672
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
673
(Robert Collins)
674
675
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
676
(Robert Collins)
677
678
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
679
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
680
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
681
682
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
683
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
684
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
685
686
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
687
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
688
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
689
690
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
691
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
692
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
693
694
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
695
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
696
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
697
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
698
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
699
700
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
701
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
702
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
703
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
704
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
705
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
706
707
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
708
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
709
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
710
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
711
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
712
713
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
714
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
715
716
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
717
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
718
719
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
720
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
721
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
722
to access private data in record to obtain content more
723
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
724
725
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
726
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.

This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
738
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
739
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
740
progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and
741
by showing the rate of network IO.

Changes from RC1 to Final
744
*************************
745
746
* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
747
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
748
749
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
750
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)
751
752
Compatibility Breaks
753
********************
754
755
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
756
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
757
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
758
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
759
760
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
761
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
762
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
763
(Ian Clatworthy)
764
765
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
766
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
767
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
768
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
769
770
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
771
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
772
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.
773
(Ian Clatworthy)
774
775
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
776
777
New Features
778
************
779
780
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
781
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
782
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
783
(Marius Kruger)
784
785
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
786
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
787
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
788
789
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
790
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
791
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
792
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
793
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
794
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
795
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
796
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
797
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
798

Improvements
801
************
802
803
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
804
(Daniel Watkins)
805
806
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
807
(Marius Kruger)
808
809
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
810
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
811
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
812
813
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
814
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
815
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
816
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
817
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
818
819
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
820
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
821
822
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
823
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
824
level for better precision.
825
(Vincent Ladeuil)
826
827
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
828
rules. (Marius Kruger)
829
830
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
831
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
832
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
833
834
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
835
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
836
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
837
(Andrew Bennetts)
838
839
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
840
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
841
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)
842

Bug Fixes
844
*********
845
846
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
847
anymore.
848
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
849
850
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
851
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
852
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
853
854
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
855
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
856
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
857
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
858
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
859
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
860
861
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
862
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
863
864
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
865
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
866
867
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
868
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
869
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
870
871
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
872
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
873
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
874
(Andrew Bennetts)
875
876
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
877
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
878
879
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
880
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
881
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
882
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
883
884
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
885
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
886
handled.
887
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
888
889
* Unshelve now handles deleted paths without crashing. (Robert Collins)

* ForeignVcsMapping() now requires a ForeignVcs object as first
904
argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
905
906
* ForeignVcsMapping.show_foreign_revid() has been moved to
907
ForeignVcs. (Jelmer Vernooij)
908
909
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` is deprecated in favor of
910
``read_mergeable_from_url``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
911
912
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
913
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
914
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
915
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
916
917
* The progress and UI classes have changed; the main APIs remain the
918
same but code that provides a new UI or progress bar class may
919
need to be updated. (Martin Pool)

922
*********
923
924
* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb
925
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
926
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
927
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
928
compile buffers, are such an example).
929
(Vincent Ladeuil)
930
931
* New API ``Branch.iter_merge_sorted_revisions()`` that iterates over
932
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
933
(Ian Clatworthy)
934
935
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
936
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
937
efficient way of doing the mapping.
938
(Ian Clatworthy)
939
940
* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
941
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)
942
943
* ``TreeDelta.show()`` now accepts a ``filter`` parameter allowing log
944
formatters to retrict the output.

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

951
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
952
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
953
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
954
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
955
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
956
957
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
958
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
959
advice.
960
961
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
962
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.

980
981
* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
982
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
983
984
New Features
985
************
986
987
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
988
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
989
990
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
991
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
992
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
993
implement other plugins.
994
(Vincent Ladeuil)
995
996
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
997

Improvements
1000
************
1001
1002
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
1003
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
1004
1005
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
1006
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
1007
1008
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
1009
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
1010
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
1011
processes which drag in shell extensions.
1012
(Mark Hammond)
1013
1014
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
1015
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
1016
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
1017
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
1018
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
1019
1020
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
1021
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
1022
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
1023
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
1024
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)
1025
1026
Bug Fixes
1027
*********
1028
1029
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
1030
control directory. (#139691)
1031
1032
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
1033
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
1034
1035
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
1036
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
1037
1038
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
1039
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
1040
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
1041
1042
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
1043
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)
1044
1045
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
1046
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
1047
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
1048
1049
* Fix bogus setUp signature in UnavailableFTPServer.
1050
(Gary van der Merwe, #313498)
1051
1052
* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
1053
(Jari Aalto)
1054
1055
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
1056
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
1057
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
1058
1059
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
1060
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
1061
1062
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
1063
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
1064
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
1065
1066
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
1067
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
1068
in the appropriate sections.
1069
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
1070
1071
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
1072
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
1073
(John Arbash meinel)
1074
1075
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
1076
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
1077
1078
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
1079
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
1080
1081
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
1082
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
1083
1084
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
1085
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
1086
work better with how it splits its requests.
1087
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
1088
1089
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
1090
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
1091
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
1092
1093
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
1094
(Aaron Bentley)
1095
1096
* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley)
1097
1098
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
1099
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
1100
1101
* Allow files to be renamed or moved via remove + add-by-id. (Charles
1102
Duffy, #314251)

1104
Documentation
1105
*************
1106
1107
* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
1108
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
1109
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
1110
(Ian Clatworthy)
1111
1112
API Changes
1113
***********
1114
1115
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
1116
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
1117
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
1118
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1119
1120
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
1121
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
1122
1123
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
1124
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
1125
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
1126
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
1127
1128
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
1129
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
1130
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
1131
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
1132
1133
Testing
1134
*******
1135
1136
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
1137
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
1138
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
1139
1140
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
1141
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
1142
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
1143
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
1144
1145
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
1146
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
1147
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
1148
(Ian Clatworthy)

1150
Internals
1151
*********
1152
1153
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
1154
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
1155
(John Arbash Meinel)
1156
1157
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
1158
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
1159
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
1160
(John Arbash Meinel)
1161
1162
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
1163
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
1164
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
1165
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
1166
1167
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
1168
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
1169
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
1170
1171
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
1172
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
1173
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
1174
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
1175
1176
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
1177
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
1178
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
1179
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
1180
(John Arbash Meinel)
1181
1182
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
1183
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
1184
1185
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
1186
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
1187
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
1188
1189
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
1190
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
1191
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
1192
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
1193
1194
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
1195
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
1196
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
1197
(John Arbash Meinel)
1198
1199
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
1200
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
1201
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
1202
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
1203
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
1204
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
1205
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1206
1207
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
1208
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)

Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
1216
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
1217
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
1218
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
1219
implementation.
1220

The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.
1222
1223
bug Fixes
1224
*********
1225
1226
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
1227
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
1228
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
1229
(Martin Pool, #303856)
1230
1231
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
1232
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
1233
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
1234
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
1235
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)

1241
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
1242
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
1243
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
1244
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
1245
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
1246
1247
New Features
1248
************
1249
1250
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
1251
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1252
1253
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
1254
(Aaron Bentley)
1255
1256
Improvements
1257
************
1258
1259
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
1260
history just to set the last revision info.
1261
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1262
1263
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
1264
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
1265
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
1266
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1267
1268
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
1269
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
1270
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
1271
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
1272
(John Arbash Meinel)
1273
1274
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
1275
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1276
1277
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
1278
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
1279
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
1280
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
1281
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
1282
1283
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
1284
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
1285
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
1286
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
1287
1288
Bug Fixes
1289
*********
1290
1291
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
1292
(Martin Pool, #289148)
1293
1294
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
1295
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
1296
1297
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
1298
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
1299
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
1300
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
1301
1302
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
1303
starting with a dotted revno.
1304
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
1305
1306
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
1307
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
1308
(Martin Pool, #288751)
1309
1310
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
1311
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
1312
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
1313
1314
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
1315
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
1316
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
1317
1318
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
1319
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
1320
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
1321
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
1322
1323
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
1324
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
1325
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
1326
1327
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.

1329
1330
API Changes
1331
***********
1332
1333
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
1334
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
1335
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
1336
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
1337
1338
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
1339
have changed incompatibly.
1340
1341
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
1342
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
1343
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
1344
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
1345
don't need to change.
1346
1347
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
1348
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.

This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
1363
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
1364
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
1365
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
1366
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
1367
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.

New Features
1386
************
1387
1388
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
1389
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
1390
1391
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
1392
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
1393
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
1394
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
1395
1396
Improvements
1397
************
1398
1399
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
1400
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
1401
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
1402
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
1403
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
1404
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
1405
1406
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
1407
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1408
1409
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
1410
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
1411
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
1412
1413
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
1414
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
1415
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
1416
(Andrew Bennetts)
1417
1418
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
1419
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
1420
1421
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
1422
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
1423
1424
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
1425
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
1426
1427
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
1428
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
1429
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
1430
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
1431
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
1432
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
1433
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
1434
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
1435
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
1436
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
1437
1438
Bug Fixes
1439
*********
1440
1441
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
1442
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
1443
1444
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
1445
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
1446
1447
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
1448
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
1449
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
1450
1451
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
1452
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
1453
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
1454
1455
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
1456
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
1457
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
1458
1459
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
1460
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
1461
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
1462
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
1463
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
1464
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
1465
1466
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
1467
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
1468
1469
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
1470
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
1471
1472
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
1473
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
1474
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
1475
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
1476
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
1477
1478
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
1479
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
1480
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.

Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
1504
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
1505
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The

Changes
1526
*******
1527
1528
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
1529
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
1530
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
1531
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
1532
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
1533
1534
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
1535
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
1536
1537
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
1538
server. (Marius Kruger)
1539
1540
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
1541
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
1542
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
1543
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
1544
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
1545
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
1546
1547
Features
1548
********
1549
1550
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
1551
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
1552
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
1553
welcome.

Improvements
1557
************
1558
1559
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
1560
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
1561
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
1562
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
1563
1564
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
1565
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
1566
(Daniel Watkins)
1567
1568
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
1569
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
1570
(Andrew Bennetts)
1571
1572
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
1573
(Robert Collins)
1574
1575
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
1576
1577
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
1578
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
1579
1580
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
1581
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
1582
1583
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
1584
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
1585
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
1586
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
1587
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
1588
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
1589
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
1590
operations. (Robert Collins)
1591
1592
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
1593
1594
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
1595
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
1596
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)

1624
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
1625

1627
is in a different repository than the current one.
1628
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
1629
1630
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
1631
(David Futcher, #242106)
1632
1633
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
1634
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1635
1636
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
1637
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
1638
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
1639
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
1640
1641
* Trivial documentation fix.
1642

``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)

* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
1842
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
1843
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the

single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
1849
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
1850
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
1851
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
1852
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
1853
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
1854
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
1855
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
1856
file. (John Arbash Meinel)

*********
1860
1861
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
1862
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
1863
1864
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
1865
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
1866
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
1867
1868
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
1869
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
1870
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
1871
1872
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
1873
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
1874
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
1875
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
1876
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
1877
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
1878
1879
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
1880
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
1881
1882
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
1883
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
1884
1885
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
1886
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
1887
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
1888
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
1889
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
1890
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
1891
1892
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
1893
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
1894
1895
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
1896
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
1897
1898
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
1899
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
1900
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
1901
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
1902
1903
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
1904
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
1905
1906
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
1907
assuming the host name is ascii.

1960
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
1961
(Robert Collins)
1962
1963
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
1964
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
1965
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
1966
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
1967
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1968
1969
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
1970
is unknown in both source and target.
1971
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
1972
1973
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
1974
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
1975
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
1976
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1977
1978
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
1979
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
1980
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
1981
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)

This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
2008
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
2009
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
2010
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
2011
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
2012
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
2013
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
2014
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
2015
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
2016
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
2017
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
2018
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.

*********
2022
2023
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
2024
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
2025
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
2026
start of the string (causing more copies).
2027
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
2028
especially for projects with large files.
2029
(John Arbash Meinel)
2030
2031
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
2032
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
2033
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
2034
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
2035
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
2036
2037
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
2038
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
2039
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
2040
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
2041
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.

new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated

support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
2054
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be

2189
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the

2251
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
2252
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
2253
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
2254
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve

2256
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.

``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2261
2262
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
2263
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
2264
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
2265
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``

useful. (John Arbash Meinel)

* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
2317
2318
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
2319
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
2320
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.

2327
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
2328
(Martin Pool)
2329
2330
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
2331
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
2332
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
2333
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
2334
2335
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
2336
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
2337
(Christophe Troestler)
2338
2339
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
2340
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
2341
2342
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
2343
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
2344
faster. The new request method name is
2345
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)

2348
*********
2349
2350
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
2351
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
2352
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
2353
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
2354
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
2355
2356
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
2357
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
2358
2359
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
2360
requires a branch to be present.
2361
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
2362
2363
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
2364
loaded.
2365
(Martin Pool, #205230)
2366
2367
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
2368
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
2369
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
2370

2377
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
2378
2379
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
2380
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
2381
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
2382
connection closes and we cannot unlock.

2416
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return

2430
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional

*********
2476
2477
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
2478
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
2479
reading from the repository.)
2480
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)

2487
(Andrew Bennetts)
2488
2489
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
2490
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
2491
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
2492
2493
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
2494
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
2495
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
2496
2497
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
2498
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
2499
2500
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
2501
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
2502
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.

Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
2555
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
2556
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
2557
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
2558
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
2559
and future extensions.
2560
2561
2562
Notes When Upgrading
2563
********************
2564
2565
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
2566
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
2567
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
2568
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
2569
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
2570
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
2571
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.

2588
************
2589
2590
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
2591
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
2592
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
2593
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
2594
2595
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
2596
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
2597
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
2598
2599
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
2600
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
2601
2602
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
2603
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
2604
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
2605
2606
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
2607
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
2608
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
2609
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
2610
step closer to not using full revision history.

Bugfixes
2614
********
2615

2617
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
2618
2619
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
2620
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
2621
2622
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
2623
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
2624
2625
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
2626
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
2627
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
2628
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
2629
2630
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
2631
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
2632
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
2633
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
2634
2635
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
2636
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
2637
in use by another process.
2638
(Martin Pool)
2639
2640
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
2641
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
2642
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
2643
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
2644
2645
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
2646
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
2647

* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
2649
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
2650

``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)

fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
2704

2706
API Changes
2707
***********
2708
2709
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
2710
instead. (Martin Pool)
2711
2712
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
2713
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
2714
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
2715
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
2716
2717
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
2718
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
2719
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
2720
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
2721
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
2722
2723
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
2724
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
2725
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
2726
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
2727
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
2728
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
2729
2730
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
2731
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
2732
(Martin Pool)
2733
2734
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
2735
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
2736
(Robert Collins)
2737
2738
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
2739
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
2740
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
2741
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
2742
2743
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
2744
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
2745
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
2746
2747
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
2748
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
2749
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
2750
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
2751
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
2752
(Martin Pool)
2753
2754
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
2755
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
2756
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
2757
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
2758
(Robert Collins)
2759
2760
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
2761
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
2762
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
2763
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
2764

2798
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
2799
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
2800
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
2801

Improvements
2804
************
2805
2806
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
2807
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
2808
2809
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
2810
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
2811
2812
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.

********
2817
2818
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
2819
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
2820
2821
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
2822
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
2823
2824
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
2825
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
2826
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
2827
2828
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
2829
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
2830
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
2831
2832
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
2833
(Andreas Deininger)
2834
2835
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
2836
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
2837
2838
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
2839
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
2840
2841
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
2842
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
2843
2844
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
2845
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
2846
2847
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
2848
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
2849
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
2850
2851
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
2852
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
2853
2854
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
2855
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
2856
2857
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
2858
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
2859
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
2860
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
2861
2862
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
2863
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
2864
(Martin Pool)
2865
2866
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
2867
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
2868
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
2869
2870
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
2871
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
2872
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
2873
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
2874
every revision each side had in common.
2875
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2876
2877
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
2878
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
2879
2880
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
2881
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
2882
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.

2886
*************
2887
2888
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
2889
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
2890
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
2891
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
2892
2893
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
2894
2895
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
2896
2897
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.

Testing
2901
*******
2902
2903
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
2904
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
2905
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
2906
2907
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
2908
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
2909
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
2910
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
2911
2912
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
2913
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2914
2915
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
2916
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
2917
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
2918
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2919
2920
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
2921
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
2922
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
2923
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2924
2925
Internals
2926
*********
2927
2928
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
2929
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
2930
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
2931
2932
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
2933
2934
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
2935
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
2936
2937
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
2938
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2939
2940
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
2941
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
2942
2943
API Changes
2944
***********
2945
2946
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
2947
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
2948
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
2949
2950
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
2951
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
2952
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
2953
(Aaron Bentley)
2954
2955
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
2956
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
2957
(Martin Pool)
2958
2959
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.

This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
2967
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
2968
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
2969
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
2970
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
2971
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
2972
and faster performance.

Changes
3011
*******
3012
3013
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
3014
3015
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
3016
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
3017
3018
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
3019
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
3020
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
3021
3022
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
3023
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
3024
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
3025
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
3026
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
3027
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
3028
Andrew Cowie)
3029
3030
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
3031
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
3032
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
3033
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)

Features
3036
********
3037
3038
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
3039
3040
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
3041
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
3042
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
3043
3044
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
3045
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
3046
See the User Reference for signature details.
3047
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
3048
3049
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
3050
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
3051
3052
Improvements
3053
************
3054
3055
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
3056
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
3057
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
3058
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
3059
3060
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
3061
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
3062
3063
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
3064
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
3065
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
3066
Wouter van Heyst)
3067
3068
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
3069
(Chad Miller)
3070
3071
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
3072
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
3073
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
3074
3075
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
3076
(Aaron Bentley)
3077
3078
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
3079
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
3080
3081
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
3082
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
3083
3084
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
3085
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
3086
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
3087
3088
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
3089
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
3090
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
3091
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
3092
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
3093
3094
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
3095
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
3096
3097
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
3098
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
3099
3100
Bugfixes
3101
********
3102
3103
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
3104
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
3105
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
3106
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
3107
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
3108
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
3109
3110
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
3111
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
3112
3113
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
3114
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
3115
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
3116
3117
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
3118
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
3119
3120
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
3121
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
3122
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
3123
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3124
3125
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
3126
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
3127
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
3128
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
3129
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
3130
3131
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
3132
3133
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
3134
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
3135
3136
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
3137
3138
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
3139
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
3140
3141
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.

3151
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)

API Breaks
3156
**********
3157
3158
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
3159
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
3160
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
3161
3162
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
3163
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
3164
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
3165
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
3166
3167
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
3168
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
3169
release. (James Westby)
3170
3171
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
3172
(Andrew Bennetts)
3173
3174
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
3175
3176
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
3177
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
3178
3179
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
3180
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
3181
3182
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
3183
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
3184
3185
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
3186
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
3187
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
3188
3189
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
3190
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
3191
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
3192
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
3193
3194
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
3195
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
3196
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
3197
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
3198
3199
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
3200
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
3201
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
3202
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
3203
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
3204
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
3205
3206
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
3207
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
3208
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
3209
3210
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
3211
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
3212
3213
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
3214
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
3215
(Robert Collins)
3216
3217
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
3218
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
3219
3220
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
3221
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
3222
3223
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
3224
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
3225
3226
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
3227
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
3228
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
3229
3230
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
3231
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
3232
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
3233
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
3234
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
3235
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
3236
3237
Testing
3238
*******
3239
3240
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
3241
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
3242
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
3243
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
3244
3245
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
3246
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
3247
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
3248
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
3249
implement this).
3250
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3251
3252
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
3253
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
3254
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3255
3256
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
3257
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::

3261
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
3262
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
3263
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)

(Martin Albisetti)
3272
3273
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
3274
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
3275
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
3276
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
3277
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.

3282
3283
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
3284

3285
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
3286

* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
3289

``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
3338
3339
Changes
3340
*******
3341
3342
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
3343
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
3344
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
3345
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
3346
(Robert Collins)
3347
3348
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
3349
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
3350
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
3351
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
3352
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
3353
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
3354
3355
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
3356
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
3357
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
3358
(Alexander Belchenko)
3359
3360
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
3361

************
3377
3378
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
3379
3380
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3381
3382
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
3383
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
3384
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
3385
3386
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
3387
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
3388
3389
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
3390
to. (Daniel Watkins)
3391
3392
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
3393
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
3394
(Alexander Belchenko)
3395
3396
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
3397
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
3398
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
3399
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
3400
3401
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
3402
(Daniel Watkins)
3403
3404
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
3405
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
3406
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
3407
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
3408
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)

Notes When Upgrading
3530
********************
3531
3532
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
3533
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
3534
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
3535
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
3536
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
3537
(Andrew Bennetts)

Changes
3540
*******
3541
3542
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
3543
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
3544
3545
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
3546
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
3547
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
3548
3549
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
3550
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
3551
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
3552
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
3553
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
3554
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.

Features
3558
********
3559
3560
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
3561
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3562
3563
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
3564
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
3565
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
3566
(Robert Collins)
3567
3568
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
3569
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
3570
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
3571
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
3572
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
3573
3574
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
3575
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
3576
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
3577
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
3578
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
3579
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
3580
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
3581
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)

* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
3587
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
3588
3589
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
3590
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
3591
3592
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
3593
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
3594
3595
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
3596
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
3597
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
3598
3599
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.

3623
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
3624
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
3625
3626
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
3627
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
3628
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
3629
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
3630
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
3631
unittest runner.
3632

* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
3645

3648
more characters which should be considered valid.

be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)

3684
3685
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
3686
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all

3691
3692
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of

3700
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
3701
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
3702
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
3703
3704
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
3705
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
3706
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
3707
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
3708

* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the

first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
3711
3712
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of

3739
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
3740
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
3741
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
3742
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
3743
3744
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
3745
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
3746
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
3747
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.

* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
3765
#90049)
3766
3767
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
3768

3769
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
3770
3771
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
3772
3773
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
3774
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
3775
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
3776
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
3777
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
3778
3779
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
3780
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
3781
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
4083
********************
4084
4085
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
4086
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
4087
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
4088
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
4089
4090
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
4091
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
4092
4093
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
4094
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
4095
4096
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
4097
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
4098
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
4099
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
4100
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
4101
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
4102
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
4103
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
4104
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
4105
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
4106
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
4107
from any tree without problems.

4220
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
4221
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).

compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
4243
on them.
4244

4247
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
4248
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
4249
4250
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
4251
(Robert Collins, #161240)
4252
4253
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
4254

4255
(Martin Pool, #164443)
4256
4257
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
4258
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
4259
4260
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
4261
specify a port in urls.

4276
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
4277

* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
4299

4300
4301
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
4302
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
4303
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
4304
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
4305
4306
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
4307
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
4308
4309
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
4310
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
4311
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)

4313
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
4314

4328
* The return value of
4329

* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
4372
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
4373
4374
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
4375
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
4376
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
4377
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
4378
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
4379
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
4380
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
4381
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
4382
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
4383
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
4384
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
4385
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).

Features
4389
********
4390
4391
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
4392
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
4393
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
4394
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
4395
commands. (Robert Collins)
4396
4397
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
4398
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
4399
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
4400
(Robert Collins)
4401
4402
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
4403
4404
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
4405
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
4406
4407
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
4408
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
4409
(Aaron Bentley)
4410
4411
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
4412
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
4413
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
4414
4415
Performance
4416
***********
4417
4418
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
4419
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
4420
4421
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
4422
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
4423
4424
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
4425
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
4426
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
4427
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
4428
4429
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
4430
(Robert Collins)
4431
4432
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
4433
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
4434
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
4435
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
4436
4437
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
4438
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
4439
4440
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
4441
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
4442
4443
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
4444
the contents. (Robert Collins)
4445
4446
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
4447
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)

* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
4456
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
4457
4458
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
4459

4460
4461
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.

Bug Fixes
4476
*********
4477
4478
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
4479
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
4480
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
4481
4482
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
4483
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
4484
4485
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
4486
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
4487
4488
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
4489
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
4490
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
4491
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
4492
4493
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
4494
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
4495
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
4496
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
4497
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
4498
4499
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
4500
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
4501
paramiko.
4502
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
4503
4504
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)

4506
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
4507
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)

4509
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.

* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
4516

4523
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
4524
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
4525
4526

4527
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.

4529
4530

4532
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
4533
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
4534
4535
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
4536
will remain opened.
4537
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
4538
4539
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
4540
directory to detect leaking tests.
4541
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
4542
4543
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
4544
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
4545
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
4546
4547
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
4548
(Rob Weir, #141629)
4549
4550
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
4551
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
4552
4553
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der

4558
4559
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
4560
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
4561
4562
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
4563
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
4564
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
4565
4566
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
4567
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
4568
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
4569
4570
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
4571
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
4572
4573
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
4574
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
4575

4577
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
4578

4584
class that needs it.
4585
(Martin Pool)
4586
4587
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
4588
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
4589
4590
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
4591
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
4592
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
4593
4594
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
4595
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
4596
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
4597
(Robert Collins)
4598
4599
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
4600
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
4601
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
4602
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.

4608
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes

put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
4610
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
4611
4612
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
4613
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
4614
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
4615
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
4616
4617
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
4618
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
4619
(Robert Collins)
4620
4621
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
4622
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
4623
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
4624
4625
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
4626
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
4627
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
4628

* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
4630
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
4631
4632
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
4633
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
4634
to complete. (Robert Collins)
4635

* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
4637
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
4638
4639
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
4640
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
4641
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
4642
4643
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
4644
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
4645
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
4646
4647
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
4648
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
4649
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
4650
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
4651
4652
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
4653
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
4654
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
4655
returned. (Robert Collins)
4656
4657
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
4658
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
4659
4660
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
4661
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
4662
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
4663
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.

* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
4676
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
4677
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
4678
makes this behavior available to other users.

4696
4697
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
4698
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
4699
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.

*******
4719
4720
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
4721
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
4722
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
4723
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
4724
(Martin Pool)
4725
4726
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
4727
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
4728
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
4729
(Ian Clatworthy)
4730
4731
Features
4732
********
4733
4734
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
4735
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
4736
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
4737
(Lukáš Lalinský)
4738
4739
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
4740
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
4741
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
4742
4743
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
4744
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
4745
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
4746
4747
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
4748
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
4749
4750
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
4751
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
4752
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
4753
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
4754
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
4755
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
4756
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
4757
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
4758
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
4759
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
4760
4761
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
4762
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
4763
4764
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
4765
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
4766
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
4767

Bug Fixes
4769
*********
4770
4771
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
4772
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
4773
4774
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
4775
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
4776
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
4777
4778
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
4779
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
4780
4781
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
4782
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
4783
4784
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
4785
(Aaron Bentley)
4786
4787
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
4788
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
4789
4790
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
4791
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
4792
4793
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
4794
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4795
4796
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
4797
(Blake Winton, #129299)
4798
4799
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
4800
4801
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
4802
Watkins, #106726)
4803
4804
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
4805
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
4806
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
4807
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
4808
4809
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4810
4811
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
4812
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
4813
#133548)
4814
4815
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
4816
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
4817
4818
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
4819
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
4820
#116143)
4821
4822
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
4823
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
4824
4825
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
4826
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
4827
4828
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
4829
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
4830
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
4831
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
4832
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
4833
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
4834
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
4835
4836
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
4837
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
4838
4839
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
4840
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
4841
4842
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
4843
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
4844
4845
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
4846
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
4847
4848
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
4849
connections.
4850
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
4851
4852
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
4853
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
4854
4855
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
4856
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
4857
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
4858
4859
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
4860
process if building of a C extension is not possible.

Improvements
4864
************
4865
4866
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
4867
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4868
4869
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
4870
(Aaron Bentley)
4871
4872
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
4873
(Aaron Bentley)
4874
4875
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
4876
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
4877
4878
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
4879
4880
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
4881
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
4882
4883
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
4884
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
4885
4886
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
4887
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
4888
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
4889
space). (Robert Collins)
4890
4891
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
4892
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
4893
(Ian Clatworthy)
4894
4895
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
4896
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4897
4898
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
4899
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
4900
4901
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
4902
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
4903
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
4904
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
4905
4906
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
4907
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
4908
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
4909
(Lukáš Lalinský)
4910
4911
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
4912
(Ian Clatworthy)
4913
4914
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
4915
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
4916
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
4917
4918
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
4919
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
4920
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
4921
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
4922
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
4923
4924
API Breaks
4925
**********
4926
4927
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
4928
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
4929
4930
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
4931
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
4932
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
4933
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
4934
affected. (Robert Collins)
4935
4936
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
4937
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
4938
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
4939
(Robert Collins)
4940
4941
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
4942
previous release. (Martin Pool)

Testing
4945
*******
4946
4947
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
4948
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
4949
4950
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
4951
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4952
4953
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
4954
previous release. (Martin Pool)
4955
4956
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
4957
(Aaron Bentley)
4958
4959
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
4960
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
4961
4962
Internals
4963
*********
4964
4965
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
4966
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
4967
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
4968
its version information. (Robert Collins)
4969
4970
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
4971
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4972
4973
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
4974
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
4975
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
4976
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4977
4978
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
4979
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
4980
present. (Robert Collins)
4981
4982
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
4983
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
4984
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
4985
API. (Robert Collins)
4986
4987
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
4988
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
4989
(Robert Collins)
4990
4991
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
4992
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
4993
4994
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
4995
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
4996
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
4997
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
4998
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
4999
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
5000
5001
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
5002
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
5003
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
5004
5005
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
5006
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
5007
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
5008
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
5009
protocol.
5010
5011
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
5012
(Aaron Bentley)
5013
5014
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
5015
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
5016
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
5017
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
5018
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
5019
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
5020
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
5021
5022
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
5023
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
5024
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
5025
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
5026
5027
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
5028
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
5029
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
5030
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
5031
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
5032
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
5033
5034
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
5035
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
5036
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
5037
5038
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
5039
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

********
5071
5072
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
5073
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
5074
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
5075
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
5076
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)

5086
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
5087

* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
5100
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
5101
5102
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
5103
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)

* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
5124
the repository (Robert Collins)

* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
5127
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
5128
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
5129
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
5130
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)

succeed even if pyrex is not available.
5137
(John Arbash Meinel)
5138
5139
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
5140
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
5141
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
5142
about 10%).
5143
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
5144
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
5145
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
5146
(John Arbash Meinel)
5147
5148
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
5149
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
5150
(Robert Collins)
5151
5152
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
5153
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
5154
5155
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
5156
(Ian Clatworthy)
5157
5158
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
5159
5160
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
5161
5162
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
5163
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
5164
5165
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
5166
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
5167
Meinel)
5168
5169
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
5170
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
5171
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
5172
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
5173
5174
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
5175
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
5176
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
5177
5178
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
5179
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
5180
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
5181
5182
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
5183
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
5184
5185
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
5186
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
5187
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
5188
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
5189
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
5190
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
5191
(Ian Clatworthy)
5192
5193
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
5194
(Alexander Belchenko)
5195
5196
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
5197
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
5198
5199
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
5200
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
5201
5202
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)

Library API Breaks
5208
******************
5209
5210
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
5211
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
5212
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
5213
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
5214
5215
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
5216
5217
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
5218
(Robert Collins)
5219
5220
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
5221
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
5222
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
5223
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
5224
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
5225
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
5226
5227
Internals
5228
*********
5229
5230
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
5231
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
5232
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
5233
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
5234
5235
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
5236
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
5237
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
5238
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
5239
tests have been refactored too.
5240
(Vincent Ladeuil)
5241
5242
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
5243
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
5244
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
5245
list, it will.
5246
(Vincent Ladeuil)
5247
5248
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
5249
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
5250
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
5251
5252
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
5253
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
5254
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
5255
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
5256
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
5257
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
5258
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
5259
5260
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
5261
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
5262
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
5263
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
5264
(John Arbash Meinel)
5265
5266
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
5267
functionality for testing.
5268
5269
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
5270
5271
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
5272
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
5273
5274
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
5275
5276
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
5277
(Robert Collins)
5278
5279
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
5280
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
5281
5282
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
5283
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
5284
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
5285
5286
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
5287
(Aaron Bentley)
5288
5289
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
5290
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
5291
5292
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
5293
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
5294
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
5295
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
5296
5297
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
5298
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
5299
5300
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
5301
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
5302
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
5303
5304
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
5305
(Marius Kruger)
5306
5307
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
5308
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
5309
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
5310
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
5311
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
5312
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
5313
5314
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
5315
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
5316
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
5317
many files. (Robert Collins)
5318
5319
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
5320
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
5321
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
5322
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
5323
5324
Testing
5325
*******
5326
5327
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
5328
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
5329
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
5330
5331
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
5332
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
5333
5334
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
5335
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
5336
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

Improvements
5400
************
5401
5402
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
5403
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
5404
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
5405
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
5406
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
5407
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
5408
5409
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
5410
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
5411
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
5412
5413
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
5414
(Elliot Murphy)
5415
5416
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
5417
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
5418
5419
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
5420
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
5421
5422
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
5423
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
5424
5425
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
5426
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
5427
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
5428
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
5429
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
5430
5431
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
5432
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
5433
5434
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
5435
can be slow it is useful feedback).
5436
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
5437
5438
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
5439
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
5440
5441
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
5442
5443
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
5444
output. (Aaron Bentley)
5445
5446
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
5447
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
5448
(Robert Collins)
5449
5450
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
5451
(Martin Pool)
5452
5453
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
5454
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
5455
5456
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
5457
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)

5494
5495
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
5496
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
5497
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
5498
5499
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now

* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
5506
5507
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
5508
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
5509
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
5510
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
5511
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
5512
same location. (Robert Collins)

* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
5530
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
5531
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
5532
5533
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
5534
5535
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
5536
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
5537
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
5538
5539
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
5540
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
5541
5542
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
5543
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
5544
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
5545
5546
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
5547
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
5548
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
5549
5550
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
5551
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
5552
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
5553
5554
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
5555
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,

Testing
5565
*******
5566
5567
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
5568
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
5569
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
5570
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
5571
5572
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
5573
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
5574
testing. (Robert Collins)
5575
5576
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
5577
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
5578
5579
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
5580
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
5581
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
5582
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
5583
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
5584
attribute during the test parameterisation in
5585
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
5586
5587
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
5588
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
5589
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
5590
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
5591
5592
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
5593

5619
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
5620
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
5621
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
5622
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
5623
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
5624
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
5625
and unlock() like so::
5626
5627
work_tree.lock_read()
5628
try:
5629
kind = work_tree.kind(...)

* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
5636
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
5637
object.
5638
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
5639
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
5640
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
5641

5643

5644
too. (Robert Collins)

* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
5654

5656
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
5657
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
5658
5659
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
5660
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
5661
understanding what changes have occurred
5662
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
5663
5664
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
5665
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
5666
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
5667
5668
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
5669
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
5670
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
5671
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)

* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
5700
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)

5702
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
5703
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)

* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if

5778
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
5779
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
5780
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
5781
but not delete it.

``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the

Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
5812

5814
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,

* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using

5856
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
5857
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
5858
5859
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
5860
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
5861
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5862
5863
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
5864
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
5865
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
5866
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
5867
5868
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
5869
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
5870
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
5871
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
5872
5873
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
5874
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
5875
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
5876
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
5877
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
5878
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
5879
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
5880
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
5881
header(s).

* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
5888
code paths. (Robert Collins)
5889
5890
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
5891
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
5892
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
5893
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
5894
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5895
5896
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
5897
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
5898
5899
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
5900
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
5901
5902
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
5903
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
5904
5905
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
5906
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
5907
5908
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
5909
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
5910
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
5911
(Robert Collins).
5912
5913
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
5914
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
5915
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
5916
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
5917
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
5918
(Robert Collins)
5919
5920
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
5921
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
5922
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
5923
5924
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
5925
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
5926
(Vincent Ladeuil).
5927
5928
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
5929
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
5930
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
5931
(Vincent Ladeuil).
5932
5933
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
5934
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
5935
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
5936
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
5937
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
5938
5939
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
5940
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
5941
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
5942
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5943
5944
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
5945
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
5946
5947
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
5948
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
5949
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
5950
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
5951
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
5952
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
5953
5954
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
5955
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)

5958

* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
5961
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
5962
5963
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
5964
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
5965
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
5966
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
5967
(John Arbash Meinel)
5968
5969
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
5970
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
5971
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
5972
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
5973
useful. (Robert Collins)
5974

in running it. (Robert Collins)
6045
6046
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
6047
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
6048
6049
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
6050
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
6051
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
6052
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
6053
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
6054
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
6055
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
6056
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
6057
6058
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
6059
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
6060
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
6061
6062
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
6063
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
6064
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
6065
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
6066
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
6067
access.
6068
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
6069
6070
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
6071
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
6072
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
6073
6074
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
6075
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

6104
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
6105
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
6106
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
6107
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
6108
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
6109
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
6110
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
6111
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
6112

6128
6129

6130
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
6131
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
6132
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and

Surprises
6225
*********
6226
6227
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
6228
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
6229
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
6230
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
6231
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
6232
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
6233
6234
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
6235
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
6236
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
6237
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
6238
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
6239
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
6240
development.
6241
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
6242
6243
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
6244
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
6245
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
6246
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
6247
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
6248
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
6249
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
6250
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).

6253
************
6254
6255
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
6256
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
6257
6258
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
6259
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
6260
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
6261
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
6262
does exist.
6263
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
6264
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
6265
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
6266
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
6267
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
6268
6269
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
6270

* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.

* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
6276
(Robert Collins)
6277

* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
6279
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
6280

6281
6282
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
6283
(Aaron Bentley)
6284
6285
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
6286
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
6287
6288
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
6289
directory. (Martin Pool)
6290
6291
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
6292
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
6293
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
6294
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
6295
6296
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
6297
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
6298
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
6299
in docs/configuration.txt.
6300
6301
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
6302
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
6303
bind location.
6304
6305
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
6306
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
6307
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
6308
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
6309
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
6310
repositories. (Martin Pool)
6311
6312
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
6313
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
6314
6315
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
6316
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
6317
6318
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.

6322
*********
6323
6324
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
6325
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
6326
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
6327
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
6328
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
6329
(John Arbash Meinel)
6330
6331
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
6332
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
6333
(Aaron Bentley)
6334
6335
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
6336
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
6337
(John Arbash Meinel)
6338
6339
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
6340
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
6341
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
6342
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
6343
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
6344
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
6345
6346
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
6347
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
6348
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
6349
6350
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
6351
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
6352
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
6353
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
6354
repository.
6355
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6356
6357
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
6358
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
6359
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
6360
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
6361
6362
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
6363
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
6364
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
6365
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
6366
6367
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
6368
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
6369
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
6370
6371
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
6372
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
6373
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
6374
6375
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
6376
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
6377
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
6378
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
6379
6380
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
6381
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
6382
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
6383
6384
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
6385
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
6386
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
6387
6388
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
6389
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
6390
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
6391
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
6392
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
6393
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
6394
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
6395
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
6396
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

push_location:policy = appendpath
6510

And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
6512
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
6513
(James Henstridge)
6514
6515
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
6516

6537
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
6538
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
6539
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
6540
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
6541
6542
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
6543
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
6544
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
6545
6546
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
6547
6548
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
6549
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
6550
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
6551

6553
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
6554

6555
6556
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
6557
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)

6564
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
6565
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
6566
6567
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
6568
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
6569
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
6570
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
6571
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
6572
6573
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
6574
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
6575
6576
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
6577
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
6578
6579
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
6580
matcher.
6581
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
6582
6583
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
6584
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
6585
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
6586
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
6587
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
6588
6589
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
6590
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
6591
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
6592
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
6593
6594
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
6595
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
6596
6597
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
6598
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
6599
6600
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.

6618
6619
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
6620
tree from a branch.
6621
(Daniel Silverstone)
6622
6623
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
6624
operations are substantially faster.
6625
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
6626
6627
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
6628
tree from some other url. For example:
6629
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
6630
(Daniel Silverstone)
6631
6632
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
6633
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
6634
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
6635
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)

6637
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
6638
(Andrew Bennetts)
6639
6640
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
6641
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
6642
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
6643
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
6644
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
6645
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)

6651
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
6652
(Martin Pool)
6653
6654
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
6655
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
6656
(John Arbash Meinel)
6657
6658
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
6659
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
6660
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
6661
(John Arbash Meinel)
6662
6663
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
6664
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
6665
6666
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
6667
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
6668
6669
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
6670
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew

*********
6675
6676
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
6677
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
6678
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
6679
6680
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
6681
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
6682
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
6683
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
6684
6685
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
6686
6687
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
6688
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
6689
6690
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
6691
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
6692
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
6693
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
6694
6695
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
6696
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
6697
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
6698
6699
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
6700
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
6701
them as full references rather than integers.
6702
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
6703
6704
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
6705
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
6706
6707
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
6708
6709
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
6710
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
6711
6712
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
6713
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
6714
6715
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
6716
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
6717
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
6718
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
6719
6720
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
6721
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
6722
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
6723
6724
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
6725
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
6726
6727
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
6728
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
6729
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
6730
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.

************
6754
6755
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
6756
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
6757
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
6758
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
6759
6760
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
6761
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
6762
6763
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
6764
6765
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
6766
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
6767
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
6768
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
6769
6770
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
6771
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
6772
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
6773
to allow modules to be loaded on request.

6786
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
6787
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
6788
6789
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
6790
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
6791
(John Arbash Meinel)
6792
6793
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
6794
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
6795
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
6796
6797
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
6798
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
6799
(Aaron Bentley)
6800
6801
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
6802
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
6803
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6804
6805
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
6806
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
6807
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
6808
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
6809
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
6810
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6811
6812
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
6813
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
6814
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
6815
(Robert Collins)

6834
6835
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
6836

6837
6838
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
6839
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
6840
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
6841
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)

6843
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
6844
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)

* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
6894
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
6895
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
6896
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
6897
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
6898
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s

* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
6967
(John Arbash Meinel)
6968
6969
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
6970
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
6971
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
6972
6973
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
6974
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
6975
6976
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
6977
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
6978
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
6979
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
6980
6981
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
6982
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
6983
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
6984
6985
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
6986
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)

6994
*********
6995
6996
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
6997
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
6998
(John Arbash Meinel)
6999
7000
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
7001
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
7002
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
7003
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
7004
7005
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
7006
(Andrew Bennetts)
7007
7008
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
7009
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
7010
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
7011
7012
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
7013
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
7014
7015
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
7016
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
7017
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
7018
7019
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
7020
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
7021
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
7022
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
7023
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
7024
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
7025
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
7026
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
7027
caller to repeat their request.
7028
(John Arbash Meinel)
7029
7030
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
7031
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
7032
7033
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
7034
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
7035
7036
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
7037
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
7038
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
7039
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
7040
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
7041
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
7042
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
7043
7044
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
7045
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
7046
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
7047
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
7048
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
7049
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
7050
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
7051
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
7052
(Robert Collins)
7053
7054
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
7055
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
7056
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
7057
7058
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
7059
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
7060
7061
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
7062
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
7063
7064
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.

*******
7069
7070
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
7071
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
7072
7073
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
7074
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
7075
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
7076
7077
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
7078
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
7079
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)

************
7086
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
7087
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
7088
7089
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
7090
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
7091
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
7092
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
7093
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
7094
7095
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
7096
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
7097
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
7098
7099
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
7100
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
7101
7102
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
7103
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.

*********
7108
7109
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
7110
7111
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
7112
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
7113
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
7114
7115
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
7116
7117
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
7118
7119
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
7120
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
7121
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
7122
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
7123
7124
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
7125
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
7126
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
7127
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
7128
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
7129
7130
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
7131
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
7132
7133
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
7134
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
7135
7136
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
7137
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
7138
7139
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
7140
in handling of revision properties.
7141
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
7142
7143

*********
7148
7149
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
7150
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
7151
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
7152
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
7153
(John Arbash Meinel)
7154

7163
*********
7164
7165
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
7166
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
7167
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
7168
specific one '.bzrignore'.
7169
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
7170
a more conservative list than the old default.
7171
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
7172
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
7173
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
7174
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
7175
7176
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
7177
to more locations than just branch locations.

Improvements
7181
************
7182
7183
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
7184
revno:N:branch. For example,
7185
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
7186
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
7187
7188
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
7189
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
7190
the path of a file that has been versioned.
7191
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
7192
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
7193
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
7194
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
7195
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
7196
#42517, #42514)
7197
7198
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
7199
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
7200
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
7201
(Malone #3507)
7202
7203
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
7204
(Alexander Belchenko)
7205
7206
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
7207
7208
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
7209
(Robert Collins).
7210
7211
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
7212
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
7213
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
7214
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
7215
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
7216
(John Arbash Meinel)
7217
7218
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
7219
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
7220
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
7221
grained analysis of performance.
7222
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
7223
7224
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
7225
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
7226
7227
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
7228
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
7229
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
7230
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
7231
file. (Robert Collins).
7232
7233
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
7234
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
7235
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
7236
7237
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
7238
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
7239
Matthieu Moy)
7240
7241
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
7242
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
7243
7244
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
7245
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
7246
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
7247
the same way you would apply another branch.
7248
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
7249
7250
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
7251
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
7252
7253
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
7254
(Michael Ellerman)
7255
7256
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
7257
(Aaron Bentley)
7258
7259
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
7260
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
7261
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
7262
7263
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
7264
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
7265
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
7266
7267
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
7268
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
7269
7270
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
7271
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
7272
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
7273
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
7274
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
7275
7276
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
7277
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
7278
7279
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
7280
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
7281
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
7282
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
7283
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
7284
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
7285
branch is as much as 4x faster.
7286
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
7287
7288
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
7289
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
7290
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)

* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
7314
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
7315
7316
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
7317
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
7318
and y.
7319
7320
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by

7323
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
7324
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
7325
7326
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
7327
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
7328
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
7329
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)

7344
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)

* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
7347
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
7348

* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
7350
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
7351
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
7352
7353
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
7354
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
7355
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
7356
7357
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
7358
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
7359

* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
7361
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
7362
7363
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
7364
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
7365
7366
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
7367
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
7368
7369
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
7370
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
7371
7372
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
7373
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
7374
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
7375

*********
7383
7384
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
7385
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
7386
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
7387
7388
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
7389
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
7390
7391
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not

7401
7402
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
7403
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
7404
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
7405
7406
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
7407
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
7408

Notes When Upgrading
7493
********************
7494
7495
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
7496
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
7497
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
7498
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
7499
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
7500
will keep the same format.
7501
7502
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
7503
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
7504
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
7505
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
7506
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
7507
7508
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
7509
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
7510
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
7511
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
7512
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
7513
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
7514
indicating the current revision of the branch.
7515
7516
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
7517
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
7518
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
7519
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
7520
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
7521
7522
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
7523
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
7524
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
7525
arrangement.

Improvements
7529
************
7530
7531
* sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
7532
convention. Paths now take the form::

* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
7
convention. Paths now take the form:
7534

sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
7535

or
7536
10
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
7537

7538
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
7539
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
7540
7541
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
7542
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
7543
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
7544
7545
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
7546
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
7547
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
7548
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
7549
7550
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
7551
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
7552
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
7553
7554
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
7555
7556
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
7557
7558
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
7559
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
7560
commits::
7561
7562
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
7563
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
7564
| xargs bzr re-sign
7565
7566
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
7567
7568
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
7569
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
7570
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
7571
(Robert Collins)
7572
7573
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
7574
7575
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
7576
7577
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
7578
'.moved'.
7579
7580
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
7581
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
7582
7583
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
7584
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
7585
Daniel Silverstone)
7586
7587
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
7588
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
7589
Martin Pool)
7590
7591
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
7592
7593
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
7594
7595
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
7596
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
7597
7598
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
7599
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
7600
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
7601
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
7602
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
7603
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
7604
7605
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
7606
7607
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
7608
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
7609
(Robert Collins)
7610
7611
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
7612
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
7613
7614
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
7615
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
7616
7617
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
7618
7619
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
7620
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
7621
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
7622
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
7623
specification by Martin Pool.
7624
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
7625
7626
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
7627
Belchenko)
7628
7629
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
7630
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
7631
7632
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
7633
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
7634
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
7635
7636
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
7637
7638
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
7639
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.

* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
7649
7650
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
7651
7652
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
7653
(Olaf Conradi)
7654
7655
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
7656
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
7657
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
7658
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)

7662
7663
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
7664
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
7665
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
7666
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
7667
7668
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
7669
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
7670
tried. (Martin Pool)
7671
7672
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
7673

7674
7675
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
7676
7677

7678
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
7679
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
7680
7681
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
7682
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
7683
7684
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
7685
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
7686
paths. (Robert Collins)
7687
7688
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
7689
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
7690
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
7691
7692
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
7693
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
7694
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
7695
7696
* Progress bars are now nested - see
7697
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
7698

7699
7700
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.

7702
7703
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
7704
(Olaf Conradi)
7705
7706
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
7707
7708
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
7709
7710
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
7711
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
7712
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
7713
(Robert Collins)
7714
7715
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
7716
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
7717
7718
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
7719
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
7720
check. (Robert Collins)
7721
7722
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
7723
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
7724
7725
Testing
7726
*******
7727
7728
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
7729
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
7730
7731
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
7732
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
7733
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
7734
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
7735
7736
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
7737
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
7738
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
7739
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
7740
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
7741
7742
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
7743
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
7744
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
7745
7746
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
7747
7748
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
7749

7759
7760
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new

7766
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
7767
7768
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
7769
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
7770
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
7771
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
7772
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
7773

7779
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
7780
(James Henstridge)
7781
7782
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
7783
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
7784
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.

* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
7787

7983
7984
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
7985
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
7986
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
7987
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is

7995
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to

15
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
16
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
17
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
18
19
* The bzr_man.py file has been removed. To create the man page now,
20
use ./generate_docs.py man. The new program can also create other files.
21
Run "python generate_docs.py --help" for usage information. (Hans
22
Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).

42
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.

45
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.

52
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
53
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)

56
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,

* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, WorkingTree.create_standalone,
105
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see BzrDir.create_* for
106

112
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
113

114
115
* bzrlib.fetch.fetch and bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch are now deprecated,
116
please use 'branch.fetch' or 'repository.fetch' depending on your
117
needs. (Robert Collins)
118
119
* deprecated methods now have a 'is_deprecated' flag on them that can
120
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
121
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)

123
* Progress bars are now nested - see
124

TESTING:
130
131
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
132
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
133
134
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see bzrlib.
135
tests.branch_implementations. This is analagous to the transport
136
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
137
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
138
139
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
140
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
141
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
142
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
143
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
144
145
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
146
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
147
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)

CHANGES:
153
154
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
155
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
156
157
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
158
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
159
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
160
(Johan Rydberg)
161
162
* Under Windows configuration directory is now %APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0
163
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
164
165
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by BZR_HOME
166
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in BZR_HOME, then
167
in HOME. Under Windows the order is: BZR_HOME, APPDATA (usually
168
points to C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data), HOME.
169
(John Arbash Meinel)
170
171
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
172
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
173
used. (Robert Collins)
174
175
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
176
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
177
(James Henstridge)
178
179
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
180
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
181
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
182
183
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
184
ignore list.
185
186
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
187
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
188
189
IMPROVEMENTS:
190
191
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
192
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
193
194
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
195
196
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
197
198
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
199
tree. (Robert Collins)
200
201
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
202
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
203
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
204
(Robert Collins)
205
206
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
207
that they be kept.
208
209
* Tweaks to short log printing
210
211
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
212
(Aaron Bentley)
213
214
* If $BZR_PDB is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
215
occurs. (Martin Pool)
216
217
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
218
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
219
220
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
221
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
222
223
* Commit editor temporary files now start with 'bzr_log.', to allow
224
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
225
settings. (Magnus Therning)
226
227
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
228
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
229
230
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
231
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
232
requests.
233
234
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
235
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
236
237
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
238
(#3632, Matthieu Moy)
239
240
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
241
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
242
243
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
244
(Denys Duchier)
245
246
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
247
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
248
249
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
250
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
251
252
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
253
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
254
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)

granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
386
387
* Branch.read_working_inventory has moved to
388
WorkingTree.read_working_inventory. This necessitated changes to
389
Branch.get_root_id, and a move of Branch.set_inventory to WorkingTree
390
as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always be obtained
391
Branch.working_tree() will raise 'errors.NoWorkingTree' if one cannot
392
be obtained. (Robert Collins)
393
394
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
395
(Robert Collins)
396
397
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree:
8007
398
add()
8008

commit()
8009
400
move()
8010
401

8011
402
unknowns()
8012
8013
(Robert Collins)
8014
8015
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
8016
8017
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
8018
8019
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
8020
Pool)
8021
8022
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
8023
query method. (Robert Collins)
8024
8025
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
8026
(Denys Duchier)
8027
8028
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
8029
(Michael Ellerman)
8030
8031
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
8032
(Michael Ellerman)
8033
8034
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
8035
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
8036
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
8037
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
8038
8039
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
8040
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
8041
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
8042
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
8043
8044
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
8045
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
403
(Robert Collins)
404
405
* bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch is now smart_add_tree. (Robert Collins)
406
407
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
408
409
* Rename selftests to `bzrlib.tests.test_foo`. (John A Meinel, Martin
410
Pool)
411
412
* bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins has been changed from an attribute to a
413

414
415
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
416
(Denys Duchier)
417
418
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
419

Improvements
8051
************
8052
8053
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
8054
(John A Meinel)
8055
8056
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
8057
conflicts.
8058
(Aaron Bentley)
8059
8060
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
8061
a separator, not ':'.
8062
(Aaron Bentley)
8063
8064
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
8065
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
8066
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
8067
8068
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
8069
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
8070
(Robert Collins)
8071
8072
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
8073
has been added that suppresses all output.
8074
8075
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
8076
Adams.
8077
8078
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
8079
Goffredo Baroncelli.
8080
8081
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
8082
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
8083
8084
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
8085
a revision. (Robert Collins)
8086
8087
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
8088
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
8089
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
8090
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
8091
8092
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
8093
8094
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
8095
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
8096
8097
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
8098
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
8099
8100
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
8101
output directory, if one was supplied.
8102
8103
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
8104
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
8105
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
8106
parameters. (Robert Collins)
8107
8108
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
8109
8110
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
8111
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
8112
8113
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
8114
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
8115
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
8116
8117
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
8118
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
8119
8120
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
8121
(Aaron Bentley)
8122
8123
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
8124
8125
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
8126
8127
Testing
8128
*******
8129
8130
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
8131
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
8132
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
8133
8134
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
8135
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
8136
related questions. (Robert Collins)
8137
8138
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
8139
is given. (Martin Pool)
8140
8141
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
8142
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
8143
file. (Robert Collins)
8144
8145
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
8146
(Martin Pool)
8147
8148
Internals
8149
*********
8150
8151
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
8152
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
8153
representation. (Martin Pool).
8154
8155
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
8156
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
8157
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
8158
8159
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
8160
(Robert Collins)
8161
8162
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
8163
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
8164
Magnus Therning.
8165
8166
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
8167
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
8168
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
8169
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
8170
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
8171
8172
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
8173
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
8174
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
8175
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
8176
python path. (Robert Collins)
8177
8178
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
8179
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
8180
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
8181
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
8182
8183
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
8184
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
8185
8186
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
8187
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
8188
(Robert Collins)
8189
8190
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
8191
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
8192
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
8193
8194
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
8195
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
8196
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
8197
8198
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
8199
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
8200
8201
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
8202
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
8203
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
8204
(Robert Collins)
8205
8206
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
8207
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
8208
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
8209
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
8210
(Robert Collins)
8211
8212
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
8213
(Robert Collins)
8214
8215
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
8216
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
8217
(Robert Collins)
8218
8219
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
8220
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
8221
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
8222
8223
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
8224
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propagate as normal.
8225
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
8226
8227
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
8228
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
8229
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
8230
8231
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
8232
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
8233
8234
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
8235
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
8236
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
8237
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
8238
caller. (Robert Collins)
8239
8240
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
8241
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
8242
(Robert Collins).
8243
8244
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
8245
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
8246
(Aaron Bentley)
8247
8248
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
8249
8250
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
8251
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
8252
8253
Bug Fixes
8254

8256
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
8257
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
8258
8259
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
8260
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

is called by merge_inner. This is so that the conflict count can be
623
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
624
of merge_inner. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
625
caller. (Robert Collins)

628
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.

632

8379
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
8380
handling of such circumstances.
8381
8382
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
8383
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
8384
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
8385
8386
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
8387
8388
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
8389
we call them revisions not patches.
8390
8391
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
8392
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
8393
8394
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
8395
giving the revision *of that file*.
8396
8397
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.

8598
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
8599
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
8600
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
8601
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
8602
8603
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
8604
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
8605
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
8606
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
8607
standard plugins directory.
8608
8609
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
8610
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
8611
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
8612
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
8613
8614
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
8615
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
8616
8617
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
8618
disk.
8619
8620
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
8621
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
8622
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
8623
8624
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
8625
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
8626
8627
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
8628
line options must come before the command name because they
8629
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
8630
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
8631
it.
8632
8633
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
8634
8635
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one

is available with ``--short``.
