5
* ``bzr init`` should only connect to the remote location one time. We
6
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
7
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
8
so that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.

(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
11
* Get rid of sftp connection cache.
12
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
14
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
16
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
18
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
19
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
22
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
23
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
28
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
29
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
31
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
32
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
34
* Get rid of FTP connection cache.
37
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
38
the repository (Robert Collins)
40
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
41
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
42
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
43
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
44
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
46
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
47
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
51
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
52
Various globally-declared options have been removed, so plugins
53
that previously said ``takes_options=['message']`` must now
54
construct an Option object and provide appropriate help. Options
55
are now required to provide a help string and it must comply with
56
the style guide by being one or more sentences with an initial
57
capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
61
* merge now uses iter_changes to calculate changes, which makes room for
62
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
63
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
64
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
66
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
67
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
68
transports needing to connet to a remote server. transport.split_url
69
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
70
tests have been refactored too.
73
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
74
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
75
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
79
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
80
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
81
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
85
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
86
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
87
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
90
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
94
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
95
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
97
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
98
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
99
(James Westby, #122656)
101
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
102
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
104
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
105
authentication header.
106
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
108
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
110
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
111
Windows. (Martin_, #119330)
113
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
115
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
116
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
118
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
119
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
120
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
122
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
123
individually and as part of revision ranges.
126
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
127
(Martin Pool, #109169)
129
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
130
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
132
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
133
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
135
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
137
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
141
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
142
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
143
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
144
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
145
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
146
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
148
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
149
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
150
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
152
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
155
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
156
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
158
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
159
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
161
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
162
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
164
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
165
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
166
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
167
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
168
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
170
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
171
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
173
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
174
can be slow it is useful feedback).
175
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
177
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
178
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
180
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
182
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
183
output. (Aaron Bentley)
185
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
186
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
189
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
192
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
193
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
195
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
196
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
198
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
199
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
201
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
203
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
204
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
206
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.

``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
227
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
228
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
231
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
233
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
234
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
235
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
237
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
238
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
240
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
241
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
243
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
247
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
249
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
251
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
253
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
256
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
259
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
260
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
261
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
263
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
265
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
266
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
267
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
269
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
270
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
272
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
273
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
274
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
276
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
277
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
278
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
280
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
281
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
282
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
284
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
285
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
288
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
289
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
291
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
292
(Alexander Belchenko)
296
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
297
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
298
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
299
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
301
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
302
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
303
testing. (Robert Collins)
305
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
306
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
308
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
309
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
310
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
311
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
312
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
313
attribute during the test parameterisation in
314
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
316
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
317
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
318
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
319
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
321
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
322
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
324
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
325
avoid useless cloning.
326
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
333
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
334
(Colin Watson, #120647)
336
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.

bzr 0.17rc1 2007-06-12
342
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
344
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
345
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
346
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
347
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
348
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
349
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
350
and unlock() like so::
352
work_tree.lock_read()
354
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
359
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
360
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
362
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
363
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
364
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
366
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
367
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
368
too. (Robert Collins)
372
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
373
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
376
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
379
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
380
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
382
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
383
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
384
understanding what changes have occurred
385
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
387
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
388
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
389
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
391
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
392
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
393
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
394
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
396
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
401
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
402
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
403
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
404
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
405
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
407
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
408
based on split paths, not just string paths.
409
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
411
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
412
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
414
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
416
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
418
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
419
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
421
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
422
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
424
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
425
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
427
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
428
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
430
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
431
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
433
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
434
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
435
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
441
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
442
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
443
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
444
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
445
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
447
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
448
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
449
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
451
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
452
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
456
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
457
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
458
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
460
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
461
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
462
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
463
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
465
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
469
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
470
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
471
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
472
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
474
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
475
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
476
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
478
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
479
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
481
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
482
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
484
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
485
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
487
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
489
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
491
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
492
it could be recovered again.
493
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
494
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
495
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
497
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
499
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
500
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
504
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
505
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
507
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
508
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
509
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
510
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
512
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
513
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
515
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
516
tests with names that match that regular expression.
517
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
519
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
520
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
521
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
523
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
524
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
525
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
527
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
528
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
531
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
534
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
535
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
536
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
537
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
539
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
542
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
543
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
544
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
547
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
548
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
550
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
551
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
553
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
554
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
555
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
556
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
559
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
560
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
562
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
563
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
565
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
566
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
567
(Robert Collins, #107125).
569
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
570
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
571
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
573
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
574
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
575
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
577
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
578
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
579
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
580
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
582
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
583
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
584
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
585
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
587
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
588
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
589
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
590
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
591
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
592
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
593
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
594
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
600
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
601
code paths. (Robert Collins)
603
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
604
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
605
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
606
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
607
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
609
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
610
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
612
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
613
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
615
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
616
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
618
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
619
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
621
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
622
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
623
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
626
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
627
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
628
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
629
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
630
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
633
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
634
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
635
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
637
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
638
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
641
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
642
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
643
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
646
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
647
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
648
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
649
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
650
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
652
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
653
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
654
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
655
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
657
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
658
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
660
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
661
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
662
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
663
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
664
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
665
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
667
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
668
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
670
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
671
help. (Robert Collins)
673
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
674
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
676
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
677
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
678
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
679
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
682
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
683
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
684
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
685
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
686
useful. (Robert Collins)
688
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
693
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
694
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
696
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
697
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
699
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
700
properly and is no longer beneficial.
701
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
703
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
706
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
707
the file, and does it faster.
708
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
710
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
711
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
712
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
714
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
715
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
716
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
717
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
719
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
720
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
721
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
722
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
724
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
725
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
727
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
728
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
729
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
730
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
733
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
735
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
736
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
738
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
739
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
741
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
742
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
743
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
744
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
748
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
749
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
753
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
754
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
755
in running it. (Robert Collins)
757
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
758
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
760
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
761
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
762
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
763
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
764
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
765
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
766
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
767
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
769
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
770
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
771
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
773
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
774
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
775
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
776
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
777
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
779
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
781
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
782
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
783
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
785
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
786
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
793
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
796
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
797
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
800
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
804
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
805
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
810
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
811
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
812
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
813
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
814
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
815
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
816
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
817
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
822
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
823
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
824
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
826
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
827
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
830
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
831
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
834
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
835
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
836
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
837
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
838
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
842
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
845
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
846
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
848
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
849
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
851
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
852
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
853
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
855
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
856
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
858
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
859
last-changed-revision for directories. The
860
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
861
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
862
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
864
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
865
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
866
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
868
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
871
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
873
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
875
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
876
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
877
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
881
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
882
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
884
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
885
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
887
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
889
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
890
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
892
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
893
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
897
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
902
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
903
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
904
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
905
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
907
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
908
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
910
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
911
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
913
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
916
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
917
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
920
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
924
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
925
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
926
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
927
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
928
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
929
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
931
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
932
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
933
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
934
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
935
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
936
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
938
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
940
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
941
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
942
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
943
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
944
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
945
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
946
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
947
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
951
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
952
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
954
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
955
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
956
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
957
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
959
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
960
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
961
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
962
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
963
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
965
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
968
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
971
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
974
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
975
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
978
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
981
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
982
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
984
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
985
directory. (Martin Pool)
987
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
988
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
989
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
990
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
992
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
993
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
994
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
995
in docs/configuration.txt.
997
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
998
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
1001
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
1002
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
1003
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
1004
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
1005
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
1006
repositories. (Martin Pool)
1008
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
1009
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1011
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
1012
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
1014
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
1019
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
1020
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
1021
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
1022
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
1023
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
1024
(John Arbash Meinel)
1026
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
1027
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
1030
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
1031
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
1032
(John Arbash Meinel)
1034
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
1035
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
1036
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
1037
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
1038
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
1039
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
1041
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
1042
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
1043
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
1045
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
1046
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
1047
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
1048
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
1050
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1052
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
1053
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
1054
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
1055
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
1057
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
1058
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
1059
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
1060
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
1062
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
1063
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
1064
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
1066
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
1067
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
1068
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
1070
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
1071
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
1072
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
1073
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
1075
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
1076
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
1077
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
1079
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
1080
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
1081
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
1083
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
1084
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
1085
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
1086
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
1087
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
1088
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
1089
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
1090
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
1091
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
1092
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
1093
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
1097
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
1098
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
1099
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
1101
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
1104
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
1105
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
1106
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
1107
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
1109
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
1110
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
1113
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
1114
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
1116
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
1118
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
1119
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
1120
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
1122
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
1123
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
1125
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
1126
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
1128
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
1129
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
1131
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
1132
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
1134
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
1136
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"

* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
1142
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
1149
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
1153
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
1154
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
1155
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
1157
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
1158
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
1159
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
1162
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
1166
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
1167
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
1168
server, then you can write over the http connection.
1169
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1171
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
1174
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
1175
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
1176
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1178
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
1179
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
1181
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
1184
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
1185
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
1186
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
1187
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
1188
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
1189
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
1191
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
1192
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
1193
should enable you to do::
1195
[/home/user/project]
1196
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
1197
push_location:policy = appendpath
1199
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
1200
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
1203
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
1204
for each file. For example::
1206
$ bzr status --short
1212
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
1213
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
1215
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
1217
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
1218
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
1220
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
1224
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
1225
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
1226
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
1227
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
1229
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
1230
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
1231
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
1233
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1235
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
1236
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
1237
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
1238
(Alexander Belchenko)
1240
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
1243
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
1244
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
1246
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
1250
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
1251
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
1253
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
1254
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
1255
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
1256
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
1257
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
1259
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
1260
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
1262
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
1263
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
1265
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
1267
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
1269
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
1270
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
1271
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
1272
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
1273
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
1275
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
1276
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
1277
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
1278
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
1280
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
1281
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
1283
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
1284
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
1286
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
1287
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
1289
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
1290
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)
1295
No changes from 0.13rc1
1297
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
1301
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
1303
(Daniel Silverstone)
1305
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
1306
operations are substantially faster.
1307
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
1309
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
1310
tree from some other url. For example:
1311
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
1312
(Daniel Silverstone)
1314
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
1315
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
1316
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
1317
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
1319
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
1322
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
1323
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
1324
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
1325
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
1326
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
1327
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
1331
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
1332
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
1335
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1336
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1337
(John Arbash Meinel)
1339
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
1340
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
1341
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
1342
(John Arbash Meinel)
1344
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
1345
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
1347
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
1348
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1350
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
1351
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
1356
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
1357
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
1358
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
1360
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
1361
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
1362
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
1363
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
1365
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
1367
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
1368
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
1370
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
1371
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
1372
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
1373
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
1375
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
1376
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
1377
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
1379
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
1380
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
1381
them as full references rather than integers.
1382
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
1384
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
1385
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
1387
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
1389
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
1390
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
1392
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
1393
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
1395
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
1396
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
1397
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
1398
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
1400
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
1401
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
1402
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
1404
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
1405
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
1407
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
1408
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
1409
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
1410
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
1411
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
1415
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
1416
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
1422
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1423
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1424
(John Arbash Meinel)
1426
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
1430
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
1431
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
1432
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
1433
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
1435
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
1436
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
1438
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
1440
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
1441
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
1442
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
1443
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1445
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
1446
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
1447
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
1448
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
1449
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
1451
API INCOMPATABILITY:
1453
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
1454
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
1458
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
1459
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
1460
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1462
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
1463
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
1464
(John Arbash Meinel)
1466
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
1467
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
1468
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
1470
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
1471
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
1474
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
1475
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
1476
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1478
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
1479
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
1480
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
1481
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
1482
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
1483
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1485
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
1486
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
1487
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
1490
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
1491
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
1495
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
1496
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
1497
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
1500
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
1501
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
1503
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
1504
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
1505
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
1507
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
1508
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
1510
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
1511
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
1512
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
1513
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
1515
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
1516
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
1518
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
1519
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
1520
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
1522
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
1523
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
1525
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1527
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
1528
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
1533
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
1534
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
1535
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
1536
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
1538
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
1539
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
1540
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1544
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
1546
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
1550
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
1552
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
1555
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
1559
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
1560
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
1561
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
1562
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
1563
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
1564
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
1565
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
1567
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
1568
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
1569
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
1571
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
1573
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
1574
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
1576
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
1577
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
1578
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
1581
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
1582
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
1583
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
1584
(John Arbash Meinel)
1586
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
1587
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
1588
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
1589
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
1592
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
1593
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
1594
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
1595
(John Arbash Meinel)
1599
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
1600
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
1602
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
1604
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
1605
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
1606
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
1608
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
1609
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
1611
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
1612
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
1614
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
1615
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
1617
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
1618
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
1620
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
1622
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
1623
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
1625
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
1626
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
1628
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
1629
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
1631
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
1632
(John Arbash Meinel)
1634
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
1635
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
1636
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
1638
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
1639
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1641
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
1642
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
1643
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
1644
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
1646
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
1647
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
1648
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
1650
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
1651
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
1655
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
1659
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
1660
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
1661
(John Arbash Meinel)
1663
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
1664
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
1665
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
1666
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1668
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
1671
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
1672
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
1673
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
1675
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
1676
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
1678
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
1679
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
1680
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
1682
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
1683
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
1684
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
1685
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
1686
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
1687
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
1688
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
1689
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
1690
caller to repeat their request.
1691

1693
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
1694
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
1696
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
1697
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
1699
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
1700
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
1701
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
1702
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
1703
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
1704
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
1705
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
1707
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
1708
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
1709
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
1710
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
1711
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
1712
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
1713
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
1714
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
1717
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
1718
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
1719
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
1721
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
1722
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
1724
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
1725
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
1727
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
1728
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1732
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
1733
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
1735
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
1736
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
1737
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1739
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
1740
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
1741
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1746
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
1747
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
1749
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
1750
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
1751
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
1752
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
1753
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
1755
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
1756
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
1757
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
1759
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
1760
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
1762
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
1763
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
1764
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1768
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
1770
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
1771
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
1772
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
1774
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
1776
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
1778
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
1779
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
1780
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
1781
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
1783
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
1784
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
1785
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
1786
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
1787
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
1789
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
1790
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
1792
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
1793
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
1795
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
1796
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
1798
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
1799
in handling of revision properties.
1800
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
1802
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
1803
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
1807
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
1808
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
1809
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
1810
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
1811
(John Arbash Meinel)
1813
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
1814
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
1815
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)

* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
6
revno:N:branch. For example,
7
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
8
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
1821
10
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
1822
11
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
1823
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
12
~/.bazaar/ignore which will apply to every tree, and the tree
1824
13
specific one '.bzrignore'.
1825
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
14
~/.bazaar/ignore will be created if it does not exist, but with
1826
15
a more conservative list than the old default.
1827
16
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
1828
17
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
1829
18
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
1830
19
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
1832
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
1833
to more locations than just branch locations.
1838
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
1839
revno:N:branch. For example,
1840
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
1841
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
1843
21
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
1844
22
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
1845
23
the path of a file that has been versioned.
1846
24
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
1847
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
25
Branch.get_parent()/set_parent() now save a relative path if possible,
1848
26
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
1849
27
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
