9
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
10
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
12
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
13
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
14
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
15
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
18
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
22
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
23
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
24
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
25
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
27
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
28
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3. (Robert Collins)
30
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
32
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
33
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
34
server, then you can write over the http connection.
37
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
38
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
39
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
40
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
42
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
43
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
44
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
45
to allow modules to be loaded on request. (John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato
50
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
51
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
55
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
56
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
57
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
59
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
60
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
63
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
64
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
65
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
67
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
68
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
71
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
72
pass in inventory.ROOT_ID if you want the default root id value.
73
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
75
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
76
inventory out to disk. At the same time, read_working_inventory will
77
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
78
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
79
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
80
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
82
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
83
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
84
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
87
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
88
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
92
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
93
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
94
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
97
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
98
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
100
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
101
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
102
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
104
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
105
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
107
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
108
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
109
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
110
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
112
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
113
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
115
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
116
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
117
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
119
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
120
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
122
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
126
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
127
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
128
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
129
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
131
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
132
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
133
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
137
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
139
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
143
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
145
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
148
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
152
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
153
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
154
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
155
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
156
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
157
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
158
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
160
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
161
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
162
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
164
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
166
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
167
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
169
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
170
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
171
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
174
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
175
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
176
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
179
* Support bzr:// and bzr+ssh:// urls to work with the new RPC-based
180
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
181
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
182
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
185
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
186
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
187
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
192
* 'bzr inventory [FILE...]' allows restricting the file list to a
193
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
195
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
197
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
198
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
199
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
201
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
202
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
204
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
205
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
207
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
208
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
210
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
211
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
213
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
215
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
216
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
218
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
219
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
221
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
222
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
224
* Don't use preexec_fn on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
227
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
228
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
229
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
231
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
232
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
234
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
235
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
236
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
237
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
239
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
240
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
241
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
243
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
244
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
248
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
252
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
253
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
256
* run_bzr_subprocess() can take an optional 'env_changes={}' parameter,
257
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
258
take a 'universal_newlines=True', which helps when checking the output
259
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
261
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
264
* Transport.list_dir() and Transport.iter_files_recursive() should always
265
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
266
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
268
* New utility function symbol_versioning.deprecation_string. Returns the
269
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
271
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
272
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
273
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
275
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
276
.append_bytes, .append_file, .put_bytes, and .put_file. This removes the
277
ambiguity in what type of object the functions take.
278
Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file} has also been added. Which works
279
similarly to Transport.append() except for SFTP, it doesn't have a round
280
trip when opening the file. Also, it provides functionality for creating
281
a parent directory when trying to create a file, rather than raise
282
NoSuchFile and forcing the caller to repeat their request.
285
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
286
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
288
* WorkingTree.pending_merges is deprecated. Please use the get_parent_ids
289
(introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
291
* WorkingTree has a new lock_tree_write method which locks the branch for
292
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
293
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
294
needs_tree_write_lock is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
295
needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock decorators this allows static
296
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
297
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
299
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
300
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
301
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
302
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
303
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
304
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
305
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
306
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
309
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
310
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
311
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
313
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
314
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
316
* New methods mkdir and put_file_bytes_non_atomic on MutableTree that
317
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
319
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
320
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
324
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
325
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
327
* Add start_bzr_subprocess and stop_bzr_subprocess to allow test code to
328
continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr. (Andrew Bennetts,
331
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
332
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
333
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
338
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
339
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
341
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
342
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
343
the 'action' passed to smart_add_tree() can return file_ids that
344
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
345
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
347
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
348
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
349
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
351
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
352
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
354
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
355
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
356
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
360
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
362
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
363
lock_write() is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
364
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
366
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
368
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
370
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
371
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
372
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
373
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
375
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
376
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
377
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
378
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
379
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
381
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
382
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
384
* Use GPG_TTY to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
385
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
387
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
388
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
390
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
391
in handling of revision properties. (John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel,
394
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
395
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
399
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
400
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
401
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
402
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
405
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
406
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
407
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
