NEW FEATURES:

IMPROVEMENTS:
15
16
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
17
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
18
19
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
20
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
21
22
BUG FIXES:
23
24
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
25
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
26
27
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
28
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
29
30
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
31
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
32
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)

bzr 1.8 2008-10-16
46
------------------
47
48
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
49
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
50
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
51
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
52
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.
53
54
BUG FIXES:
55
56
* Fix "Must end write group" error when another error occurs during
57
``bzr push``. (Andrew Bennetts, #230902)
58
59
PORTABILITY:
60
61
* Some Pyrex versions require the WIN32 macro defined to compile on
62
that platform. (Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #277481)
63

65
bzr 1.8rc1 2008-10-07
66
---------------------
67
68
CHANGES:
69
70
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
71
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
72
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
73
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
74
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
75
76
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
77
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
78
79
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
80
server. (Marius Kruger)
81
82
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
83
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
84
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
85
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
86
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
87
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
88
89
FEATURES:
90
91
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
92
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
93
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
94
welcome.
95
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
96
97
IMPROVEMENTS:
98
99
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
100
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
101
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
102
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
103
104
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
105
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
106
(Daniel Watkins)
107
108
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
109
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
110
(Andrew Bennetts)
111
112
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
113
(Robert Collins)
114
115
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
116
117
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
118
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
119
120
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
121
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
122
123
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
124
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
125
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
126
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
127
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
128
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
129
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
130
operations. (Robert Collins)
131
132
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
133
134
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
135
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
136
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
137
138
BUG FIXES:
139
140
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
141
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
142
(Martin Pool, #279381)
143
144
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
145
repository now preserves the repository format.
146
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
147
148
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
149
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
150
151
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
152
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
153
154
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
155
it's not there.
156
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
157
158
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
159
(Andrew Bennetts)
160
161
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
162
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
163
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
164
165
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
166
is in a different repository than the current one.
167
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
168
169
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
170
(David Futcher, #242106)
171
172
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
173
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
174
175
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
176
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
177
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
178
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
179
180
* Trivial documentation fix.
181
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
182
183
DOCUMENTATION:
184
185
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
186
187
API CHANGES:
188
189
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
190
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
191
to use. (Robert Collins)
192
193
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
194
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
195
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
196
197
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
198
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
199
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
200
they want. (Robert Collins)
201
202
TESTING:
203
204
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
205
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
206
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
207
208
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
209
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
210
(Mark Hammond)
211
212
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
213
(Aaron Bentley)
214
215
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
216
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
217
218
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
219
(Andrew Bennetts)
220
221
INTERNALS:
222
223
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
224
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
225
226
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
227
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
228
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
229
230
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
231
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
232
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
233
234
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
235
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
236
237
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
238
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
239
240
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
241
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
242
243
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
244
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
245
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
246
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept
247
parameters anymore.
248
(Vincent Ladeuil)

bzr 1.7.1 2008-10-01
252
--------------------
253
254
No changes from 1.7.1rc1.
255
256
257
bzr 1.7.1rc1 2008-09-24
258
-----------------------
259
260
This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
261
file paths when we encounter complex history.
262
263
FEATURES:
264
265
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
266
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
267
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
268
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.
269
(John Arbash Meinel)
270
271
272
bzr 1.7 2008-09-23
273
------------------
274
275
This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
276
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
277
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
278
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
279
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.
280
There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.
281
282
FEATURES
283
284
* Some small updates to the win32 installer. Include localization
285
files found in plugins, and include the builtin distutils as part of
286
packaging qbzr. (Mark Hammond)
287
288
289
bzr 1.7rc2 2008-09-17
290
---------------------
291
292
A few bug fixes from 1.7rc1. The biggest change is a new
293
``RemoteBranch.get_stacked_on_url`` rpc. This allows clients that are
294
trying to access a Stacked branch over the smart protocol, to properly
295
connect to the stacked-on location.
296
297
BUG FIXES:
298
299
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
300
repository now preserves the repository format.
301
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
302
303
* Branching from a stacked branch via ``bzr+ssh`` can properly connect
304
to the stacked-on branch. (Martin Pool, #261315)
305
306
* ``bzr init`` no longer re-opens the BzrDir multiple times.
307
(Vincent Ladeuil)
308
309
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
310
(Andrew Bennetts)
311
312
313
bzr 1.7rc1 2008-09-09
314
---------------------
315
316
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
317
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
318
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
319
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
320
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
321
it in a future repository format.
322
323
324
CHANGES:
325
326
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
327
(Robert Collins)
328
329
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
330
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
331
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
332
333
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
334
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
335
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
336
337
FEATURES
338
339
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
340
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
341
342
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
343
344
IMPROVEMENTS:
345
346
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
347
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
348
(Martin Pool)
349
350
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
351
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
352
353
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
354
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
355
(Marius Kruger)
356
357
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
358
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
359
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
360
(John Arbash Meinel)
361
362
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
363
(Martin Pool, #261315)
364
365
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
366
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
367
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
368
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
369
(John Arbash Meinel)
370
371
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
372
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
373
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
374
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
375
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
376
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
377
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
378
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
379
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
380
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
381
382
BUG FIXES:
383
384
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
385
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
386
387
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
388
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
389
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
390
391
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
392
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
393
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
394
395
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
396
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
397
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
398
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
399
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
400
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
401
402
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
403
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
404
405
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
406
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
407
408
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
409
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
410
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
411
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
412
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
413
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
414
415
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
416
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
417
418
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
419
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
420
421
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
422
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
423
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
424
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
425
426
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
427
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
428
429
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
430
assuming the host name is ascii.
431
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
432
433
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
434
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
435
436
DOCUMENTATION:
437
438
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
439
440
API CHANGES:
441
442
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
443
444
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
445
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
446
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
447
(Robert Collins)
448
449
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
450
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
451
452
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
453
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
454
455
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
456
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
457
458
TESTING:
459
460
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
461
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
462
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
463
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
464
465
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
466
still in use.
467
(Mark Hammond)
468
469
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
470
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
471
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
472
473
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
474
(Vincent Ladeuil)
475
476
INTERNALS:
477
478
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
479
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
480
(Robert Collins)
481
482
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
483
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
484
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
485
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
486
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
487
488
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
489
is unknown in both source and target.
490
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
491
492
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
493
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
494
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
495
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
496
497
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
498
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
499
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
500
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)

bzr 1.6.1 2008-09-05
504
--------------------
505
506
A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
507
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
508
and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
509
510
511
bzr 1.6.1rc2 2008-09-03
512
-----------------------
513
514
BUG FIXES:
515
516
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
517
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
518
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
519
(John Arbash Meinel, #264321)
520
521
522
bzr 1.6.1rc1 2008-08-29
523
-----------------------
524
525
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
526
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
527
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
528
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
529
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
530
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
531
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
532
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
533
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
534
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
535
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
536
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
537
538
BUG FIXES:
539
540
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
541
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
542
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
543
start of the string (causing more copies).
544
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
545
especially for projects with large files.
546
(John Arbash Meinel)
547
548
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
549
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
550
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
551
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
552
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
553
554
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
555
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
556
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
557
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
558
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.
559
(John Arbash Meinel, #262333)

562
bzr 1.6 2008-08-25
563
------------------
564
565
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
566
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
567
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
568
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
569
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
570
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
571
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
572
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
573
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
574
575
576
bzr 1.6rc5 2008-08-19
577
---------------------
578
579
BUG FIXES:
580
581
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
582
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
583
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
584
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
585
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
586
587
588
bzr 1.6rc4 2008-08-18
589
---------------------
590
591
BUG FIXES:
592
593
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
594
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
595
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
596
597
598
bzr 1.6rc3 2008-08-14
599
---------------------
600
601
CHANGES:
602
603
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
604
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
605
(Robert Collins)
606
607
IMPROVEMENTS:
608
609
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
610
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
611
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
612
(Mark Hammond)
613
614
BUG FIXES:
615
616
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
617
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
618
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
619
620
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
621
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
622
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
623
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
624
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
625
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
626
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
627
628
629
bzr 1.6rc2 2008-08-13
630
---------------------
631
632
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
633
fixes for Windows.
634
635
BUG FIXES:
636
637
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
638
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
639
640
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
641
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
642
(Aaron Bentley)
643
644
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
645
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
646
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
647
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
648
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
649
650
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
651
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
652
653
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
654
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
655
656
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
657
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
658
659
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
660
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
661
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
662
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
663
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
664
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
665
666
667
bzr 1.6rc1 2008-08-06
668
---------------------
669
670
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
671
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
672
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
673
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
674
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
675
676
CHANGES:
677
678
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
679
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
680
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
681
682
IMPROVEMENTS:
683
684
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
685
check. (Daniel Watkins)
686
687
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
688
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
689
690
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
691
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
692
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
693
694
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
695
(James Westby)
696
697
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
698
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
699
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
700
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
701
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
702
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
703
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
704
705
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
706
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
707
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
708
709
BUG FIXES:
710
711
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
712
physical repository boundaries.
713
(Martin Pool, #252428)
714
715
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
716
(Martin Pool, #206258)
717
718
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
719
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
720
(Martin Pool)
721
722
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
723
(Ian Clatworthy)
724
725
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
726
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
727
that Python is running from.
728
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
729
730
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
731
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
732
(Robert Collins, #150438)
733
734
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
735
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
736
737
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
738
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
739
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
740
741
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
742
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
743
744
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
745
(James Westby, #248448)
746
747
API CHANGES:
748
749
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
750
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
751
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
752
(Robert Collins)
753
754
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
755
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
756
(Robert Collins)
757
758
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
759
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
760
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
761
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
762
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
763
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
764
(Robert Collins)
765
766
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
767
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
768
769
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
770
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
771
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
772
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
773
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
774
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
775
776
INTERNALS:
777
778
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
779
putting together a real history without having to create a full
780
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
781
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
782
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
783
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
784
785
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
786
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
787
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
788
789
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
790
(Ian Clatworthy)
791
792
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
793
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
794
795
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
796

799
bzr 1.6beta3 2008-07-17
800
-----------------------
801
802
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
803
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
804
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
805
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
806
bug fixes.
807
808
FEATURES:
809
810
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
811
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
812
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
813
814
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
815
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
816
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
817
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
818
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
819
(Ian Clatworthy)
820
821
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
822
823
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
824
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
825
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
826
(Robert Collins)
827
828
IMPROVEMENTS:
829
830
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
831
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
832
(Martin Pool)
833
834
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
835
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
836
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
837
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
838
839
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
840
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
841
(Christophe Troestler)
842
843
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
844
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
845
846
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
847
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
848
faster. The new request method name is
849
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
850
851
BUG FIXES:
852
853
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
854
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
855
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
856
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
857
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
858
859
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
860
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
861
862
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
863
requires a branch to be present.
864
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
865
866
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
867
loaded.
868
(Martin Pool, #205230)
869
870
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
871
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
872
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
873
(Martin Pool, #240161)
874
875
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
876
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
877
878
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
879
name contains an @.
880
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
881
882
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
883
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
884
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
885
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
886
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
887
888
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
889
(Martin Pool, #172870)
890
891
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
892
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
893
894
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
895
Cygwin Bazaar.
896
(Matt McClure, #209281)
897
898
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
899
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
900
901
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
902
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
903
904
DOCUMENTATION:
905
906
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
907
(Ian Clatworthy)
908
909
* Updated developer documentation.
910
(Martin Pool)
911
912
TESTING:
913
914
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
915
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
916
917
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
918
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
919
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
920
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
921
922
API CHANGES:
923
924
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
925
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
926
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
927
Repository docstring for more details.
928
(Robert Collins)
929
930
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
931
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
932
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
933
934
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
935
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
936
(Daniel Watkins)
937
938
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
939
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
940
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
941
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
942
943
INTERNALS:
944
945
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
946
(Alexander Belchenko)
947
948
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
949
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
950
containing a given location.
951
(Daniel Watkins)
952
953
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
954
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
955
storage. (Robert Collins)
956
957
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
958
(Robert Collins)
959
960
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
961
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.

bzr 1.6beta2 2008-06-10
966
-----------------------
967
968
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
969
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
970
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
971
now faster.
972
973
BUG FIXES:
974
975
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
976
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
977
reading from the repository.)
978
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
979
980
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
981
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
982
983
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
984
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
985
(Andrew Bennetts)
986
987
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
988
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
989
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
990
991
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
992
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
993
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
994
995
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
996
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
997
998
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
999
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
1000
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
1001
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
1002
1003
IMPROVEMENTS:
1004
1005
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
1006
1007
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
1008
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
1009
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
1010
(Adrian Wilkins)
1011
1012
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
1013
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
1014
1015
DOCUMENTATION:
1016
1017
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1018
1019
TESTING:
1020
1021
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
1022
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
1023
1024
API CHANGES:
1025
1026
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
1027
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
1028
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
1029
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
1030
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1031
1032
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
1033
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
1034
1035
INTERNALS:
1036
1037
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
1038
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
1039
1040
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
1041
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
1042
1043
1044
bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
1045
-----------------------
1046
1047
1048
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
1049
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
1050
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
1051
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
1052
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
1053
and future extensions.
1054
1055
1056
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1057
1058
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
1059
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
1060
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
1061
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
1062
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
1063
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
1064
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
1065
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
1066
1067
CHANGES:
1068
1069
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
1070
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
1071
(John Arbash Meinel)
1072
1073
FEATURES:
1074
1075
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
1076
load. (James Westby)
1077
1078
IMPROVEMENTS:
1079
1080
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
1081
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
1082
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
1083
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
1084
1085
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
1086
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
1087
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
1088
1089
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
1090
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
1091
1092
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
1093
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
1094
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
1095
1096
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
1097
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
1098
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
1099
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
1100
step closer to not using full revision history.
1101
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
1102
1103
BUGFIXES:
1104
1105
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
1106
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
1107
1108
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
1109
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1110
1111
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
1112
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
1113
1114
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
1115
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
1116
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
1117
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
1118
1119
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
1120
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
1121
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
1122
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
1123
1124
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
1125
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
1126
in use by another process.
1127
(Martin Pool)
1128
1129
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
1130
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
1131
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
1132
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
1133
1134
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
1135
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
1136
1137
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
1138
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
1139
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
1140
1141
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
1142
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
1143
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
1144
1145
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
1146
them.
1147
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
1148
1149
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
1150
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
1151
1152
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
1153
under vim on Mac OS X.
1154
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1155
1156
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
1157
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
1158
1159
DOCUMENTATION:
1160
1161
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
1162
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
1163
1164
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
1165
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
1166
(Ian Clatworthy)
1167
1168
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
1169
and about use of Python reprs.
1170
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
1171
1172
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
1173
1174
TESTING:
1175
1176
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
1177
(Robert Collins)
1178
1179
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
1180
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
1181
1182
* New helper function for splitting test suites
1183
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
1184
1185
INTERNALS:
1186
1187
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
1188
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
1189
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
1190
(John Arbash Meinel)
1191
1192
API CHANGES:
1193
1194
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
1195
instead. (Martin Pool)
1196
1197
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
1198
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
1199
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
1200
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
1201
1202
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
1203
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
1204
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
1205
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
1206
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
1207
1208
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
1209
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
1210
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
1211
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
1212
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
1213
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
1214
1215
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
1216
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
1217
(Martin Pool)
1218
1219
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
1220
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
1221
(Robert Collins)
1222
1223
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
1224
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
1225
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
1226
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
1227
1228
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
1229
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
1230
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
1231
1232
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
1233
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
1234
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
1235
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
1236
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
1237
(Martin Pool)
1238
1239
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
1240
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
1241
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
1242
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
1243
(Robert Collins)
1244
1245
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
1246
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
1247
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
1248
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
1249
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
1250
1251
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
1252
(Martin Pool)

bzr 1.5 2008-05-16
1256
------------------
1257
1258
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
1259
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
1260
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
1261
1262
CHANGES:
1263
1264
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
1265
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
1266
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
1267
1268
DOCUMENTATION:
1269
1270
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
1271
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.

1276
---------------------
1277
1278
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1279
1280
CHANGES:
1281
1282
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
1283
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
1284
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
1285
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
1286
1287
FEATURES:
1288
1289
IMPROVEMENTS:
1290
1291
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
1292
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
1293
1294
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
1295
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
1296
1297
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
1298
(Aaron Bentley)
1299
1300
BUGFIXES:
1301
1302
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
1303
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
1304
1305
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
1306
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
1307
1308
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
1309
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
1310
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
1311
1312
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
1313
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
1314
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
1315
1316
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
1317
(Andreas Deininger)
1318
1319
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
1320
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
1321
1322
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
1323
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
1324
1325
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
1326
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
1327
1328
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
1329
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
1330
1331
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
1332
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
1333
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
1334
1335
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
1336
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
1337
1338
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
1339
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
1340
1341
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
1342
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
1343
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
1344
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
1345
1346
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
1347
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
1348
(Martin Pool)
1349
1350
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
1351
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
1352
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
1353
1354
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
1355
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
1356
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
1357
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
1358
every revision each side had in common.
1359
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1360
1361
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
1362
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
1363
1364
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
1365
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
1366
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
1367
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
1368
1369
DOCUMENTATION:
1370
1371
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
1372
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
1373
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
1374
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
1375
1376
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
1377
1378
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
1379
1380
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
1381
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
1382
1383
TESTING:
1384
1385
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
1386
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
1387
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
1388
1389
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
1390
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
1391
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
1392
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
1393
1394
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
1395
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1396
1397
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
1398
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
1399
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
1400
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1401
1402
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
1403
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
1404
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
1405
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1406
1407
INTERNALS:
1408
1409
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
1410
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
1411
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
1412
1413
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
1414
1415
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
1416
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
1417
1418
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
1419
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1420
1421
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
1422
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
1423
1424
API CHANGES:
1425
1426
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
1427
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
1428
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
1429
1430
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
1431
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
1432
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
1433
(Aaron Bentley)
1434
1435
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
1436
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
1437
(Martin Pool)
1438
1439
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.

1444
------------------
1445
1446
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
1447
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
1448
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
1449
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
1450
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
1451
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
1452
and faster performance.
1453
1454
BUG FIXES:
1455
1456
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
1457
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
1458
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.

bzr 1.4rc2 2008-04-21
1463
---------------------
1464
1465
BUG FIXES:
1466
1467
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
1468
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
1469
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
1470
1471
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
1472
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
1473
1474
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
1475
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
1476
1477
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
1478
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
1479
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
1480
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
1481
every revision each side had in common.

1486
---------------------
1487
1488
CHANGES:
1489
1490
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
1491
1492
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
1493
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
1494
1495
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
1496
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
1497
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
1498
1499
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
1500
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
1501
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
1502
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
1503
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
1504
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
1505
Andrew Cowie)
1506
1507
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
1508
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
1509
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
1510
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
1511
1512
FEATURES:
1513
1514
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
1515
1516
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
1517
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
1518
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
1519
1520
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
1521
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
1522
See the User Reference for signature details.
1523
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
1524
1525
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
1526
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
1527
1528
IMPROVEMENTS:
1529
1530
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
1531
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
1532
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
1533
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1534
1535
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
1536
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
1537
1538
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
1539
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
1540
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
1541
Wouter van Heyst)
1542
1543
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
1544
(Chad Miller)
1545
1546
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
1547
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
1548
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
1549
1550
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
1551
(Aaron Bentley)
1552
1553
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
1554
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
1555
1556
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
1557
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
1558
1559
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
1560
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
1561
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
1562
1563
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
1564
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
1565
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
1566
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
1567
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
1568
1569
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
1570
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
1571
1572
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
1573
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1574
1575
BUGFIXES:
1576
1577
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
1578
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
1579
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
1580
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
1581
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
1582
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
1583
1584
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
1585
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
1586
1587
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
1588
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
1589
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
1590
1591
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
1592
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
1593
1594
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
1595
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
1596
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
1597
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1598
1599
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
1600
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
1601
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
1602
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
1603
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
1604
1605
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
1606
1607
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
1608
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
1609
1610
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
1611
1612
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
1613
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
1614
1615
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
1616
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
1617
1618
DOCUMENTATION:
1619
1620
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
1621
1622
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
1623
1624
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1625
1626
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
1627
1628
API BREAKS:
1629
1630
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
1631
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
1632
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
1633
1634
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
1635
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
1636
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
1637
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
1638
1639
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
1640
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
1641
release. (James Westby)
1642
1643
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
1644
(Andrew Bennetts)
1645
1646
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
1647
1648
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
1649
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1650
1651
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
1652
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1653
1654
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
1655
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
1656
1657
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
1658
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
1659
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
1660
1661
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
1662
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
1663
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
1664
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
1665
1666
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
1667
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
1668
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
1669
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
1670
1671
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
1672
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
1673
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
1674
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
1675
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
1676
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
1677
1678
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
1679
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
1680
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
1681
1682
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
1683
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1684
1685
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
1686
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
1687
(Robert Collins)
1688
1689
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
1690
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
1691
1692
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
1693
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
1694
1695
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
1696
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
1697
1698
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
1699
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
1700
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
1701
1702
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
1703
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
1704
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
1705
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
1706
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
1707
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
1708
1709
TESTING:
1710
1711
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
1712
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
1713
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
1714
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
1715
1716
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
1717
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
1718
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
1719
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
1720
implement this).
1721
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1722
1723
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
1724
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
1725
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1726
1727
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
1728
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
1729
1730
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
1731
1732
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
1733
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
1734
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
1735
1736
INTERNALS:
1737
1738
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1739
1740
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
1741
(Martin Albisetti)
1742
1743
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
1744
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
1745
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
1746
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
1747
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
1748
(Martin Pool, #109520)
1749
1750
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
1751
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
1752
1753
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
1754
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
1755
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
1756
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
1757
1758
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
1759
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
1760
1761
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
1762
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

1785
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
1786
1787
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
1788
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
1789
features have been added.
1790

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1802
1803
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
1804
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
1805
1806
CHANGES:
1807
1808
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
1809
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
1810
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
1811
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
1812
(Robert Collins)
1813
1814
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
1815
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
1816
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
1817
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
1818
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
1819
(Alexander Belchenko)
1820
1821
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
1822
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
1823
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
1824
(Alexander Belchenko)
1825
1826
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1827
1828
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
1829
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
1830
1831
FEATURES:
1832
1833
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
1834
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
1835
1836
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
1837
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
1838
(Jelmer Vernooij)
1839
1840
IMPROVEMENTS:
1841
1842
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
1843
1844
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1845
1846
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
1847
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
1848
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
1849
1850
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
1851
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
1852
1853
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
1854
to. (Daniel Watkins)
1855
1856
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
1857
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
1858
(Alexander Belchenko)
1859
1860
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
1861
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
1862
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
1863
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
1864
1865
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
1866
(Daniel Watkins)
1867
1868
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
1869
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
1870
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
1871
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
1872
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1873
1874
BUGFIXES:
1875
1876
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
1877
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
1878
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
1879
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
1880
1881
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
1882
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
1883
1884
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
1885
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
1886
1887
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
1888
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
1889
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
1890
1891
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
1892
(#198793, John Ferlito)
1893
1894
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
1895
#196618)
1896
1897
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
1898
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
1899
1900
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
1901
1902
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
1903
1904
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
1905
symlinks (James Henstridge)
1906
1907
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
1908
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
1909
1910
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
1911
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
1912
1913
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
1914
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
1915
1916
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
1917
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
1918
1919
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
1920
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
1921
1922
DOCUMENTATION:
1923
1924
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
1925
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1926
1927
API BREAKS:
1928
1929
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
1930
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
1931
(Alexander Belchenko)
1932
1933
TESTING:
1934
1935
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
1936
1937
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
1938
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
1939
(Robert Collins)
1940
1941
INTERNALS:
1942
1943
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
1944
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
1945
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
1946
1947
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
1948
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
1949
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
1950
(Alexander Belchenko)
1951
1952
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
1953
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
1954
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
1955
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
1956
1957
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
1958
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
1959
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
1960
(Robert Collins)
1961
1962
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
1963
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
1964
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
1965
1966
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
1967
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
1968
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
1969
1970
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
1971
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
1972
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
1973
format. (Robert Collins)

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1988
1989
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
1990
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
1991
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
1992
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
1993
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
1994
(Andrew Bennetts)
1995
1996
CHANGES:
1997
1998
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
1999
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
2000
2001
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
2002
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
2003
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
2004
2005
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
2006
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
2007
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
2008
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
2009
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
2010
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
2011
(Aaron Bentley)
2012
2013
FEATURES:
2014
2015
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
2016
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2017
2018
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
2019
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
2020
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
2021
(Robert Collins)
2022
2023
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
2024
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
2025
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
2026
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
2027
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
2028
2029
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
2030
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
2031
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
2032
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
2033
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
2034
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
2035
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
2036
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
2037
2038
IMPROVEMENTS:
2039
2040
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
2041
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
2042
2043
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
2044
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
2045
2046
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
2047
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2048
2049
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
2050
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
2051
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
2052
2053
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
2054
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
2055
(John Arbash Meinel)
2056
2057
BUGFIXES:
2058
2059
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
2060
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
2061
2062
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
2063
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
2064
2065
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
2066
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
2067
2068
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
2069
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
2070
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
2071
2072
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
2073
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
2074
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
2075
2076
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
2077
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
2078
2079
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
2080
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
2081
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
2082
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
2083
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
2084
unittest runner.
2085
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
2086
2087
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
2088
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
2089
#185907)
2090
2091
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
2092
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
2093
2094
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
2095
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
2096
2097
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
2098
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
2099
2100
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
2101
more characters which should be considered valid.
2102
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
2103
2104
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
2105
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
2106
2107
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
2108
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
2109
2110
API BREAKS:
2111
2112
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
2113
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
2114
2115
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
2116
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
2117
(Martin Pool)
2118
2119
TESTING:
2120
2121
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
2122
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
2123
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2124
2125
INTERNALS:
2126
2127
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
2128
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
2129
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
2130
2131
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
2132
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
2133
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
2134
2135
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
2136
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
2137
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
2138
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
2139
2140
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
2141
2142
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
2143
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
2144
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
2145
server. (Robert Collins)
2146
2147
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
2148
operate. (Robert Collins)
2149
2150
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
2151
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
2152
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
2153
2154
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
2155
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
2156
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
2157
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
2158
2159
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
2160
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
2161
2162
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
2163
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
2164
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
2165
2166
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
2167
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
2168
2169
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
2170
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
2171
2172
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
2173
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
2174
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
2175
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)
2176

2182
2183
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
2184
---------------------
2185
2186
CHANGES:
2187
2188
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
2189
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
2190
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
2191
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
2192
2193
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
2194
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
2195
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
2196
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
2197
2198
FEATURES:
2199
2200
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
2201
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2202
2203
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
2204
(Aaron Bentley)
2205
2206
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
2207
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
2208
2209
IMPROVEMENTS:
2210
2211
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
2212
#90049)
2213
2214
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
2215
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
2216
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
2217
2218
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
2219
2220
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
2221
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
2222
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
2223
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
2224
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
2225
2226
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
2227
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
2228
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
2229
2230
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
2231
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
2232
2233
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
2234
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2235
2236
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
2237
2238
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
2239
2240
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
2241
(Aaron Bentley)
2242
2243
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
2244
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
2245
2246
BUGFIXES:
2247
2248
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
2249
(Martin Pool, #180208)
2250
2251
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
2252
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
2253
2254
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
2255
(Aaron Bentley)
2256
2257
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
2258
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
2259
2260
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
2261
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
2262
2263
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
2264
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2265
2266
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
2267
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
2268
2269
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
2270
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
2271
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
2272
2273
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
2274
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
2275
2276
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
2277
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
2278
(Aaron Bentley)
2279
2280
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
2281
2282
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
2283
user:pass embedded in the urls.
2284
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
2285
2286
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
2287
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
2288
2289
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
2290
(Aaron Bentley)
2291
2292
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
2293
#148087)
2294
2295
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
2296
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
2297
2298
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
2299
#137681)
2300
2301
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
2302
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
2303
(Aaron Bentley)
2304
2305
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
2306
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
2307
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
2308
2309
DOCUMENTATION:
2310
2311
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
2312
(Ian Clatworthy)
2313
2314
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
2315
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
2316
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
2317
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
2318
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
2319
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)

2363
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
2364
2365

2415
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
2416
2417
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
2418
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
2419
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
2420
feedback but also incur more latency.

2451
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
2452
Nordhoff, #172612)
2453
2454
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
2455
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
2456
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
2457
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2458
2459
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
2460
(Kent Gibson)
2461
2462
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
2463
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
2464
2465
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
2466
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
2467
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
2468
2469
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
2470
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
2471
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
2472
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
2473
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
2474
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
2475
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
2476
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
2477
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)

2493
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
2494
2495
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
2496
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
2497
required.
2498
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)

* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
2501
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
2502
2503

committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
2505
2506

2513
---------------------
2514
2515
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2516
2517
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
2518
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
2519
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
2520
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
2521
2522
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
2523
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
2524
2525
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
2526
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
2527
2528
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
2529
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
2530
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
2531
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
2532
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
2533
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
2534
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
2535
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
2536
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
2537
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
2538
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
2539
from any tree without problems.
2540
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
2541
2542
CHANGES:
2543
2544
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
2545
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
2546
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
2547
2548
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
2549
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
2550
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
2551
(Martin Pool)
2552
2553
FEATURES:
2554
2555
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
2556
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
2557
supported transports.
2558
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2559
2560
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
2561
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
2562
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
2563
2564
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
2565
(Robert Collins, #154173)
2566
2567
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
2568
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
2569
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
2570
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
2571
2572
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
2573
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
2574
2575
PERFORMANCE:
2576
2577
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
2578
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
2579
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
2580
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2581
2582
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
2583
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
2584
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
2585
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
2586
2587
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
2588
(Robert Collins, #88319)
2589
2590
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
2591
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
2592
2593
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
2594
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
2595
2596
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
2597
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
2598
(Aaron Bentley)
2599
2600
IMPROVEMENTS:
2601
2602
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
2603
(Aaron Bentley)
2604
2605
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
2606
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
2607
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2608
2609
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
2610
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
2611
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
2612
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
2613
2614
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
2615
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
2616
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
2617
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)

* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
2627
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
2628
2629
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
2630
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
2631
2632
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
2633
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
2634
2635
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
2636
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
2637
2638
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.

* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
2642
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)

* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
2645
(Aaron Bentley)
2646
2647
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
2648
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
2649
2650
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
2651
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
2652
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
2653
2654
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
2655
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
2656
2657
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
2658
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
2659
2660
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
2661
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
2662
2663
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
2664
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
2665
2666
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
2667
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
2668
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
2669
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
2670
on them.
2671
(Martin Pool, #164637)
2672
2673
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
2674
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
2675
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
2676
2677
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
2678
(Robert Collins, #161240)
2679
2680
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
2681
to be reconciled.
2682
(Martin Pool, #164443)
2683
2684
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
2685
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
2686
2687
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
2688
specify a port in urls.
2689
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
2690
2691
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
2692
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
2693
2694
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
2695
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
2696
2697
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
2698
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
2699
2700
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
2701
(Robert Collins, #153789)
2702
2703
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
2704
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.

(Robert Collins, #165304).
2706
2707
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
2708
2709
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
2710
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
2711
2712
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
2713
Watkins, #152811)
2714
2715
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
2716
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
2717
2718
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
2719
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
2720
2721
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
2722
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
2723
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
2724
2725
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
2726
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
2727
2728
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
2729
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
2730
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
2731
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
2732
2733
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
2734
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
2735
2736
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
2737
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
2738
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
2739
2740
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
2741
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
2742
2743
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
2744
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
2745
2746
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
2747
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
2748
2749
API BREAKS:
2750
2751
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
2752
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
2753
2754
* The return value of
2755
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
2756
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
2757
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
2758
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
2759
2760
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
2761
(Robert Collins)
2762
2763
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
2764
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
2765
format.
2766
(Martin Pool)
2767
2768
INTERNALS:
2769
2770
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to

2772
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
2773

2776
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)

2801
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
2802
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
2803
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
2804
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
2805
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
2806
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
2807
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
2808
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
2809
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
2810
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
2811
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
2812
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
2813
(Robert Collins)
2814
2815
FEATURES:
2816
2817
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
2818
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
2819
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
2820
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
2821
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
2822
for further details. (Robert Collins)
2823
2824
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
2825
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
2826
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
2827
(Robert Collins)
2828
2829
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
2830
2831
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
2832
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
2833
2834
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
2835
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
2836
(Aaron Bentley)
2837
2838
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
2839
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
2840
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
2841
2842
PERFORMANCE:
2843
2844
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
2845
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2846
2847
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
2848
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
2849
2850
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
2851
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
2852
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
2853
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
2854
2855
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
2856
(Robert Collins)
2857
2858
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
2859
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
2860
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
2861
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
2862
2863
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
2864
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
2865
2866
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
2867
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
2868
2869
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
2870
the contents. (Robert Collins)
2871
2872
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
2873
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
2874
2875
IMPROVEMENTS:
2876
2877
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
2878
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
2879
2880
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
2881
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
2882
2883
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
2884
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
2885
2886
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
2887
(Martin Pool, #63894)
2888
2889
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
2890
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
2891
2892
DOCUMENTATION:
2893
2894
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
2895
2896
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
2897
(Ian Clatworthy)
2898
2899
BUG FIXES:
2900
2901
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
2902
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
2903
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
2904
2905
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
2906
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
2907
2908
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
2909
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
2910
2911
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
2912
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
2913
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
2914
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
2915
2916
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
2917
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
2918
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
2919
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
2920
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
2921
2922
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
2923
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
2924
paramiko.
2925
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
2926
2927
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2928
2929
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
2930
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
2931
2932
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
2933
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
2934
2935
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
2936
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
2937
2938
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
2939
contains a symbolic link.
2940
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
2941
2942
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
2943
(James Westby, #140615)
2944
2945
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
2946
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
2947
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
2948
2949
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
2950
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
2951
(Martin Pool, #144633)
2952
2953
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2954
2955
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
2956
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
2957
2958
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
2959
will remain opened.
2960
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
2961
2962
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
2963
directory to detect leaking tests.
2964
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
2965
2966
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
2967
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
2968
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
2969
2970
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
2971
(Rob Weir, #141629)
2972
2973
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
2974
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
2975
2976
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
2977
Merwe)
2978
2979
API BREAKS:
2980
2981
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
2982
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
2983
2984
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
2985
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
2986
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
2987
2988
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
2989
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
2990
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
2991
2992
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
2993
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
2994
2995
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
2996
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
2997
2998
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
2999
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
3000
(Martin Pool)
3001
3002
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
3003
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
3004
3005
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
3006
class that needs it.
3007
(Martin Pool)
3008
3009
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
3010
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
3011
3012
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
3013
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
3014
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
3015
3016
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
3017
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
3018
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
3019
(Robert Collins)
3020
3021
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
3022
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
3023
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
3024
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
3025
(Robert Collins)
3026
3027
INTERNALS:
3028
3029
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
3030
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
3031
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
3032
3033
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
3034
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
3035
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
3036
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
3037
3038
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
3039
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
3040
(Robert Collins)
3041
3042
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
3043
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
3044
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
3045
3046
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
3047
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
3048
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
3049
3050
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
3051
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
3052
3053
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
3054
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
3055
to complete. (Robert Collins)
3056
3057
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
3058
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
3059
3060
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
3061
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
3062
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
3063
3064
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
3065
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
3066
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
3067
3068
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
3069
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
3070
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
3071
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
3072
3073
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
3074
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
3075
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
3076
returned. (Robert Collins)
3077
3078
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
3079
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
3080
3081
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
3082
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
3083
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
3084
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
3085
(Robert Collins)
3086
3087
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
3088
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
3089
3090
TESTING:
3091
3092
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
3093
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
3094
3095
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
3096
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
3097
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
3098
makes this behavior available to other users.
3099
(Martin Pool)
3100
3101
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
3102
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
3103
3104
3105
bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
3106
-------------------
3107
3108
BUG FIXES:
3109
3110
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
3111
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
3112
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
3113
3114
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3115
3116
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
3117
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
3118
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
3119
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
3120
3121
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
3122
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
3123
(Andrew Bennetts)
3124
3125
3126
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
3127
----------------------
3128
3129
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
3130
in bzrlib/remote.py.
3131
3132
3133
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
3134
----------------------
3135
3136
CHANGES:
3137
3138
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
3139
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
3140
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
3141
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
3142
(Martin Pool)
3143
3144
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
3145
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
3146
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
3147
(Ian Clatworthy)
3148
3149
FEATURES:
3150
3151
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
3152
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
3153
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
3154
(Lukáš Lalinský)
3155
3156
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
3157
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
3158
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
3159
3160
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
3161
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
3162
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
3163
3164
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
3165
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
3166
3167
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
3168
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
3169
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
3170
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
3171
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
3172
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
3173
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
3174
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
3175
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
3176
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
3177
3178
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
3179
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
3180
3181
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
3182
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
3183
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
3184
3185
BUG FIXES:
3186
3187
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
3188
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
3189
3190
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
3191
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
3192
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
3193
3194
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
3195
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
3196
3197
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
3198
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
3199
3200
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
3201
(Aaron Bentley)
3202
3203
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
3204
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
3205
3206
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
3207
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
3208
3209
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
3210
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3211
3212
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
3213
(Blake Winton, #129299)
3214
3215
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
3216
3217
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
3218
Watkins, #106726)
3219
3220
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
3221
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
3222
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
3223
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
3224
3225
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3226
3227
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
3228
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
3229
#133548)
3230
3231
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
3232
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
3233
3234
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
3235
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
3236
#116143)
3237
3238
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
3239
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
3240
3241
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
3242
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
3243
3244
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
3245
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
3246
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
3247
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
3248
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
3249
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
3250
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
3251
3252
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
3253
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
3254
3255
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
3256
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
3257
3258
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
3259
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
3260
3261
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
3262
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
3263
3264
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
3265
connections.
3266
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
3267
3268
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
3269
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
3270
3271
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
3272
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
3273
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
3274
3275
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
3276
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
3277
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
3278
3279
IMPROVEMENTS:
3280
3281
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
3282
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3283
3284
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
3285
(Aaron Bentley)
3286
3287
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
3288
(Aaron Bentley)
3289
3290
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
3291
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
3292
3293
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
3294
3295
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
3296
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
3297
3298
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
3299
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
3300
3301
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
3302
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
3303
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
3304
space). (Robert Collins)
3305
3306
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
3307
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
3308
(Ian Clatworthy)
3309
3310
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
3311
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3312
3313
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
3314
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
3315
3316
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
3317
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
3318
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
3319
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
3320
3321
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
3322
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
3323
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
3324
(Lukáš Lalinský)
3325
3326
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
3327
(Ian Clatworthy)
3328
3329
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
3330
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
3331
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
3332
3333
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
3334
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
3335
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
3336
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
3337
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
3338
3339
API BREAKS:
3340
3341
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
3342
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
3343
3344
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
3345
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
3346
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
3347
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
3348
affected. (Robert Collins)
3349
3350
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
3351
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
3352
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
3353
(Robert Collins)
3354
3355
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
3356
previous release. (Martin Pool)
3357
3358
TESTING:
3359
3360
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
3361
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
3362
3363
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
3364
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3365
3366
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
3367
previous release. (Martin Pool)
3368
3369
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
3370
(Aaron Bentley)
3371
3372
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
3373
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3374
3375
INTERNALS:
3376
3377
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
3378
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
3379
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
3380
its version information. (Robert Collins)
3381
3382
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
3383
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3384
3385
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
3386
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
3387
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
3388
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3389
3390
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
3391
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
3392
present. (Robert Collins)
3393
3394
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
3395
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
3396
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
3397
API. (Robert Collins)
3398
3399
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
3400
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
3401
(Robert Collins)
3402
3403
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
3404
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
3405
3406
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
3407
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
3408
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
3409
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
3410
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
3411
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
3412
3413
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
3414
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
3415
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
3416
3417
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
3418
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
3419
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
3420
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
3421
protocol.
3422
3423
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
3424
(Aaron Bentley)
3425
3426
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
3427
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
3428
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
3429
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
3430
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
3431
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
3432
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
3433
3434
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
3435
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
3436
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
3437
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
3438
3439
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
3440
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
3441
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
3442
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
3443
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
3444
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
3445
3446
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
3447
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
3448
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
3449
3450
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
3451
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
3452
3453
3454
bzr 0.90 2007-08-28
3455
-------------------
3456
3457
IMPROVEMENTS:
3458
3459
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
3460
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
3461
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
3462
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
3463
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
3464
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
3465
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
3466
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
3467
3468
3469
API CHANGES:
3470
3471
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
3472
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
3473
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
3474
3475
3476
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
3477
----------------------
3478
3479
BUGFIXES:
3480
3481
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
3482
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
3483
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
3484
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
3485
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
3486
3487
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
3488
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
3489
3490
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
3491
anymore.
3492
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
3493
3494
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
3495
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
3496
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3497
3498
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
3499
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
3500
#111664)
3501
3502
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
3503
(Lukáš Lalinský)
3504
3505
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
3506
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
3507
3508
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
3509
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
3510
3511
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
3512
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
3513
3514
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
3515
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
3516
3517
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
3518
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
3519
3520
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
3521
(Aaron Bentley)
3522
3523
IMPROVEMENTS:
3524
3525
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
3526
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
3527
3528
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
3529
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
3530
3531
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
3532
the repository (Robert Collins)
3533
3534
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
3535
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
3536
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
3537
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
3538
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
3539
3540
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
3541
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3542
3543
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
3544
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
3545
(John Arbash Meinel)
3546
3547
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
3548
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
3549
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
3550
about 10%).
3551
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
3552
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
3553
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
3554
(John Arbash Meinel)
3555
3556
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
3557
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
3558
(Robert Collins)
3559
3560
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
3561
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
3562
3563
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
3564
(Ian Clatworthy)
3565
3566
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
3567
3568
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
3569
3570
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
3571
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
3572
3573
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
3574
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
3575
Meinel)
3576
3577
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
3578
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
3579
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
3580
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3581
3582
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
3583
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
3584
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
3585
3586
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
3587
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
3588
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
3589
3590
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
3591
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
3592
3593
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
3594
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
3595
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
3596
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
3597
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
3598
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
3599
(Ian Clatworthy)
3600
3601
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
3602
(Alexander Belchenko)
3603
3604
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
3605
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
3606
3607
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
3608
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
3609
3610
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
3611
3612
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
3613
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
3614
3615
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
3616
3617
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
3618
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
3619
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
3620
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
3621
3622
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
3623
3624
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
3625
(Robert Collins)
3626
3627
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
3628
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
3629
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
3630
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
3631
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
3632
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
3633
3634
INTERNALS:
3635
3636
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
3637
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
3638
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
3639
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
3640
3641
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
3642
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
3643
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
3644
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
3645
tests have been refactored too.
3646
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3647
3648
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
3649
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
3650
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
3651
list, it will.
3652
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3653
3654
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
3655
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
3656
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
3657
3658
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
3659
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
3660
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
3661
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
3662
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
3663
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
3664
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
3665
3666
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
3667
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
3668
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
3669
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
3670
(John Arbash Meinel)
3671
3672
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
3673
functionality for testing.
3674
3675
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
3676
3677
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
3678
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3679
3680
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
3681
3682
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
3683
(Robert Collins)
3684
3685
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
3686
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
3687
3688
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
3689
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
3690
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
3691
3692
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
3693
(Aaron Bentley)
3694
3695
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
3696
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
3697
3698
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
3699
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
3700
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
3701
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
3702
3703
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
3704
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
3705
3706
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
3707
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
3708
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
3709
3710
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
3711
(Marius Kruger)
3712
3713
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
3714
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
3715
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
3716
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
3717
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
3718
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
3719
3720
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
3721
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
3722
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
3723
many files. (Robert Collins)
3724
3725
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
3726
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
3727
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
3728
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
3729
3730
TESTING:
3731
3732
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
3733
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
3734
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
3735
3736
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
3737
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
3738
3739
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
3740
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
3741
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

BUGFIXES:
3756
3757
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
3758
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
3759
3760
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
3761
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
3762
(James Westby, #122656)
3763
3764
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
3765
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
3766
3767
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
3768
authentication header.
3769
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
3770
3771
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
3772
3773
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
3774
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
3775
3776
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
3777
3778
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
3779
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
3780
3781
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
3782
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
3783
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
3784
3785
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
3786
individually and as part of revision ranges.
3787
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
3788
3789
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
3790
(Martin Pool, #109169)
3791
3792
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
3793
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
3794
3795
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
3796
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
3797
3798
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
3799
3800
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
3801
3802
IMPROVEMENTS:
3803
3804
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
3805
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
3806
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
3807
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
3808
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
3809
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
3810
3811
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
3812
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
3813
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
3814
3815
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
3816
(Elliot Murphy)
3817
3818
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
3819
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
3820
3821
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
3822
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
3823
3824
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
3825
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
3826
3827
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
3828
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
3829
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
3830
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
3831
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
3832
3833
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
3834
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
3835
3836
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
3837
can be slow it is useful feedback).
3838
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
3839
3840
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
3841
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
3842
3843
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
3844
3845
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
3846
output. (Aaron Bentley)
3847
3848
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
3849
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
3850
(Robert Collins)
3851
3852
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
3853
(Martin Pool)
3854
3855
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
3856
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
3857
3858
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
3859
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
3860
3861
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
3862
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
3863
3864
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
3865
3866
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
3867
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
3868
3869
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
3870
(Andrew Bennetts)
3871
3872
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
3873
3874
* Testing cleanups -
3875
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3876
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
3877
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
3878
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
3879
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3880
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
3881
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3882
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
3883
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3884
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
3885
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
3886
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
3887
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3888
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
3889
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
3890
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
3891
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
3892
(Robert Collins)
3893
3894
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
3895
3896
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
3897
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
3898
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
3899
3900
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
3901
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
3902
3903
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
3904
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3905
3906
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
3907
3908
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
3909
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
3910
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
3911
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
3912
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
3913
same location. (Robert Collins)
3914
3915
INTERNALS:
3916
3917
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
3918
3919
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
3920
3921
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
3922
3923
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
3924
(Martin Pool)
3925
3926
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
3927
(Martin Pool)
3928
3929
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
3930
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
3931
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
3932
3933
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
3934
3935
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
3936
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
3937
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
3938
3939
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
3940
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
3941
3942
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
3943
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
3944
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
3945
3946
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
3947
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
3948
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
3949
3950
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
3951
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
3952
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
3953
3954
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
3955
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
3956
Martin Pool)
3957
3958
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
3959
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
3960
3961
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
3962
(Alexander Belchenko)
3963
3964
TESTING:
3965
3966
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
3967
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
3968
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
3969
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3970
3971
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
3972
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
3973
testing. (Robert Collins)
3974
3975
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
3976
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
3977
3978
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
3979
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
3980
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
3981
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
3982
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
3983
attribute during the test parameterisation in
3984
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
3985
3986
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
3987
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
3988
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
3989
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
3990
3991
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
3992
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
3993
3994
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
3995
avoid useless cloning.

4014
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4015
4016
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
4017
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
4018
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
4019
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
4020
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
4021
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
4022
and unlock() like so::
4023
4024
work_tree.lock_read()
4025
try:
4026
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
4027
finally:
4028
work_tree.unlock()
4029
4030
INTERNALS:
4031
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
4032
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
4033
object.
4034
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
4035
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
4036
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
4037
4038
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
4039
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
4040
too. (Robert Collins)
4041
4042
IMPROVEMENTS:
4043
4044
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
4045
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
4046
Aaron Bentley)
4047
4048
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
4049
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
4050
4051
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
4052
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
4053
4054
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
4055
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
4056
understanding what changes have occurred
4057
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
4058
4059
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
4060
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
4061
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
4062
4063
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
4064
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
4065
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
4066
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
4067
4068
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
4069
#56322)
4070
4071
BUGFIXES:
4072
4073
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
4074
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
4075
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
4076
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
4077
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
4078
4079
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
4080
based on split paths, not just string paths.
4081
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
4082
4083
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
4084
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
4085
4086
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
4087
into account.
4088
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
4089
4090
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
4091
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
4092
4093
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
4094
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
4095
4096
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
4097
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
4098
4099
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
4100
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
4101
4102
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
4103
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
4104
4105
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
4106
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
4107
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

4112
BUGFIXES:
4113
4114
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
4115
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
4116
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
4117
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
4118
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
4119
4120
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
4121
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
4122
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
4123
4124
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
4125
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
4126
4127
IMPROVEMENTS:
4128
4129
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
4130
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
4131
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
4132
4133
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
4134
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
4135
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
4136
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

4143
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
4144
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
4145
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
4146
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
4147
4148
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
4149
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
4150
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)

4157
4158
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned

4162
-----------------------
4163
4164
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4165
4166
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
4167
it could be recovered again.
4168
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
4169
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
4170
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
4171
but not delete it.
4172
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
4173
files.
4174
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
4175
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
4176
4177
IMPROVEMENTS:
4178
4179
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
4180
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
4181
4182
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
4183
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
4184
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
4185
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
4186
4187
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
4188
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
4189
4190
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
4191
tests with names that match that regular expression.
4192
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
4193
4194
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
4195
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
4196
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
4197
4198
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
4199
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
4200
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
4201
4202
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
4203
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
4204
Robert Collins)
4205
4206
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
4207
Pool)
4208
4209
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
4210
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
4211
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
4212
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
4213
4214
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
4215
(Robert Collins)
4216
4217
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
4218
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
4219
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
4220
(Robert Collins)
4221
4222
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
4223
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
4224
4225
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
4226
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
4227
4228
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
4229
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
4230
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
4231
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
4232
(Robert Collins)
4233
4234
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
4235
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
4236
4237
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
4238
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
4239
4240
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
4241
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
4242
(Robert Collins, #107125).
4243
4244
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
4245
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
4246
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
4247
4248
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
4249
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
4250
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4251
4252
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
4253
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
4254
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
4255
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
4256
4257
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
4258
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
4259
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
4260
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
4261
4262
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
4263
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
4264
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
4265
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
4266
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
4267
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
4268
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
4269
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
4270
header(s).
4271
(Vincent Ladeuil).
4272
4273
INTERNALS:
4274
4275
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
4276
code paths. (Robert Collins)
4277
4278
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
4279
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
4280
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
4281
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
4282
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4283
4284
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
4285
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
4286
4287
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
4288
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
4289
4290
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
4291
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
4292
4293
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
4294
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
4295
4296
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
4297
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
4298
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
4299
(Robert Collins).
4300
4301
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
4302
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
4303
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
4304
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
4305
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
4306
(Robert Collins)
4307
4308
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
4309
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
4310
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
4311
4312
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
4313
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
4314
(Vincent Ladeuil).
4315
4316
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
4317
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
4318
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
4319
(Vincent Ladeuil).
4320
4321
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
4322
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
4323
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
4324
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
4325
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
4326
4327
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
4328
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
4329
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
4330
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4331
4332
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
4333
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
4334
4335
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
4336
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
4337
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
4338
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
4339
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
4340
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
4341
4342
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
4343
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
4344
4345
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
4346
help. (Robert Collins)
4347
4348
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
4349
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
4350
4351
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
4352
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
4353
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
4354
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
4355
(John Arbash Meinel)
4356
4357
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
4358
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
4359
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
4360
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
4361
useful. (Robert Collins)
4362
4363
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
4364
(Andrew Bennetts)
4365
4366
BUGFIXES:
4367
4368
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
4369
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
4370
4371
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
4372
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
4373
4374
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
4375
properly and is no longer beneficial.
4376
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
4377
4378
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
4379
(Aaron Bentley)
4380
4381
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
4382
the file, and does it faster.
4383
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
4384
4385
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
4386
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
4387
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
4388
4389
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
4390
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
4391
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
4392
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
4393
4394
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
4395
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
4396
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
4397
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
4398
4399
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
4400
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
4401
4402
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
4403
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
4404
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
4405
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
4406
Arbash Meinel)
4407
4408
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
4409
4410
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
4411
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
4412
4413
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
4414
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
4415
4416
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
4417
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
4418
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
4419
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
4420
security hole.
4421
(Vincent Ladeuil)
4422
4423
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
4424
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
4425
4426
TESTING:
4427
4428
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
4429
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
4430
in running it. (Robert Collins)
4431
4432
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
4433
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
4434
4435
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
4436
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
4437
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
4438
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
4439
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
4440
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
4441
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
4442
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4443
4444
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
4445
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
4446
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4447
4448
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
4449
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
4450
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
4451
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
4452
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
4453
access.
4454
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4455
4456
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
4457
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
4458
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
4459
4460
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
4461
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
4462

bzr 0.15 2007-04-01
4465
-------------------
4466
4467
BUGFIXES:
4468
4469
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
4470
(Aaron Bentley)
4471
4472
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
4473
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.

4476
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
4477
-----------------------
4478
4479
CHANGES:
4480
4481
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
4482
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
4483
(Martin Pool)
4484
4485
IMPROVEMENTS:
4486
4487
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
4488
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
4489
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
4490
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
4491
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
4492
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
4493
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
4494
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
4495
path. (vila)
4496
4497
INTERNALS:
4498
4499
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
4500
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
4501
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
4502
4503
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
4504
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
4505
(Martin Pool)
4506
4507
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
4508
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
4509
(John Arbash Meinel)
4510
4511
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
4512
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
4513
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
4514
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
4515
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
4516
4517
BUGFIXES:
4518
4519
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
4520
(vila, #92195)
4521
4522
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
4523
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
4524
4525
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
4526
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
4527
4528
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
4529
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
4530
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
4531
4532
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
4533
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
4534
4535
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
4536
last-changed-revision for directories. The
4537
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
4538
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
4539
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
4540
4541
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
4542
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
4543
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
4544
4545
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
4549
-----------------------
4550
4551
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4552
4553
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
4554
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
4555
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
4556
4557
IMPROVEMENTS:
4558
4559
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
4560
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
4561
4562
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
4563
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
4564
4565
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
4566
4567
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
4568
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
4569
4570
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
4571
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
4572
4573
INTERNALS:
4574
4575
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
4576
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
4577
4578
BUGFIXES:
4579
4580
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
4581
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
4582
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
4583
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
4584
4585
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
4586
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
4587
4588
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
4589
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
4590
4591
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
4592
(Marien Zwart)
4593
4594
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

4598
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
4599
-----------------------
4600
4601
SURPRISES:
4602
4603
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
4604
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
4605
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
4606
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
4607
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
4608
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
4609
4610
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
4611
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
4612
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
4613
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
4614
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
4615
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
4616
development.
4617
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
4618
4619
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
4620
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
4621
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
4622
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
4623
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
4624
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
4625
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
4626
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
4627
4628
IMPROVEMENTS:
4629
4630
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
4631
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
4632
4633
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
4634
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
4635
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
4636
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
4637
does exist.
4638
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
4639
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
4640
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
4641
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
4642
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
4643
4644
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
4645
(Aaron Bentley)
4646
4647
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
4648
(Aaron Bentley)
4649
4650
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
4651
(Robert Collins)
4652
4653
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
4654
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
4655
(Aaron Bentley)
4656
4657
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
4658
(Aaron Bentley)
4659
4660
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
4661
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
4662
4663
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
4664
directory. (Martin Pool)
4665
4666
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
4667
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
4668
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
4669
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
4670
4671
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
4672
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
4673
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
4674
in docs/configuration.txt.
4675
4676
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
4677
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
4678
bind location.
4679
4680
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
4681
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
4682
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
4683
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
4684
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
4685
repositories. (Martin Pool)
4686
4687
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
4688
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4689
4690
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
4691
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
4692
4693
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
4694
(Aaron Bentley)
4695
4696
INTERNALS:
4697
4698
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
4699
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
4700
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
4701
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
4702
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
4703
(John Arbash Meinel)
4704
4705
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
4706
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
4707
(Aaron Bentley)
4708
4709
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
4710
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
4711
(John Arbash Meinel)
4712
4713
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
4714
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
4715
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
4716
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
4717
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
4718
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
4719
4720
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
4721
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
4722
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
4723
4724
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
4725
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
4726
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
4727
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
4728
repository.
4729
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4730
4731
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
4732
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
4733
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
4734
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
4735
4736
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
4737
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
4738
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
4739
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
4740
4741
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
4742
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
4743
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
4744
4745
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
4746
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
4747
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
4748
4749
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
4750
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
4751
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
4752
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
4753
4754
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
4755
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
4756
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
4757
4758
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
4759
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
4760
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
4761
4762
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
4763
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
4764
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
4765
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
4766
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
4767
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
4768
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
4769
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
4770
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
4771
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
4772
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
4773
4774
BUGFIXES:
4775
4776
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
4777
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
4778
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
4779
4780
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
4781
(Aaron Bentley)
4782
4783
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
4784
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
4785
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
4786
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
4787
4788
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
4789
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
4790
#83954).
4791
4792
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
4793
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
4794
4795
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
4796
4797
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
4798
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
4799
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
4800
4801
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
4802
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
4803
4804
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
4805
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
4806
4807
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
4808
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
4809
4810
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
4811
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
4812
4813
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
4814
4815
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
4816
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
4817
4818
TESTING:
4819
4820
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests

4827
IMPROVEMENTS:
4828
4829
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
4830
4831
BUG FIXES:
4832
4833
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
4834
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
4835
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
4836
4837
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
4838
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
4839
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

4842
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
4843
-----------------------
4844
4845
IMPROVEMENTS:
4846
4847
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
4848
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
4849
server, then you can write over the http connection.
4850
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4851
4852
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
4853
(Marius Kruger)
4854
4855
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
4856
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
4857
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
4858
4859
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
4860
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
4861
4862
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
4863
(Aaron Bentley)
4864
4865
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
4866
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
4867
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
4868
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
4869
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
4870
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
4871
4872
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
4873
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
4874
should enable you to do::
4875
4876
[/home/user/project]
4877
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
4878
push_location:policy = appendpath
4879
4880
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
4881
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
4882
(James Henstridge)
4883
4884
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
4885
for each file. For example::
4886
4887
$ bzr status --short
4888
A foo
4889
A bar
4890
D baz
4891
? wooley
4892
4893
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
4894
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
4895
4896
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
4897
4898
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
4899
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
4900
4901
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
4902
4903
INTERNALS:
4904
4905
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
4906
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
4907
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
4908
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
4909
4910
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
4911
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
4912
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
4913
4914
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4915
4916
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
4917
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
4918
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
4919
(Alexander Belchenko)
4920
4921
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
4922
Pool)
4923
4924
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
4925
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
4926
4927
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
4928
4929
BUG FIXES:
4930
4931
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
4932
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
4933
4934
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
4935
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
4936
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
4937
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
4938
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
4939
4940
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
4941
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
4942
4943
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
4944
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
4945
4946
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
4947
matcher.
4948
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
4949
4950
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
4951
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
4952
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
4953
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
4954
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
4955
4956
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
4957
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
4958
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
4959
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
4960
4961
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
4962
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
4963
4964
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
4965
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
4966
4967
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
4968
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)

IMPROVEMENTS:
4983
4984
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
4985
tree from a branch.
4986
(Daniel Silverstone)
4987
4988
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
4989
operations are substantially faster.
4990
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
4991
4992
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
4993
tree from some other url. For example:
4994
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
4995
(Daniel Silverstone)
4996
4997
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
4998
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
4999
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
5000
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
5001
5002
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
5003
(Andrew Bennetts)
5004
5005
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
5006
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
5007
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
5008
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
5009
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
5010
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
5011
5012
INTERNALS:
5013
5014
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
5015
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
5016
(Martin Pool)
5017
5018
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
5019
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
5020
(John Arbash Meinel)
5021
5022
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
5023
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
5024
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
5025
(John Arbash Meinel)
5026
5027
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
5028
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
5029
5030
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
5031
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
5032
5033
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
5034
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
5035
Bennetts)
5036
5037
BUG FIXES:
5038
5039
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
5040
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
5041
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
5042
5043
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
5044
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
5045
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
5046
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
5047
5048
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
5049
5050
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
5051
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
5052
5053
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
5054
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
5055
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
5056
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
5057
5058
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
5059
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
5060
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
5061
5062
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
5063
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
5064
them as full references rather than integers.
5065
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
5066
5067
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
5068
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
5069
5070
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
5071
5072
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
5073
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
5074
5075
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
5076
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
5077
5078
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
5079
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
5080
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
5081
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
5082
5083
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
5084
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
5085
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
5086
5087
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
5088
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
5089
5090
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
5091
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
5092
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
5093
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
5094
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
5095
5096
TESTING:
5097
5098
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
5099
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

--------------------
5103
5104
INTERNALS:
5105
5106
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
5107
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.

5110
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
5111
-----------------------
5112
5113
IMPROVEMENTS:
5114
5115
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
5116
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
5117
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
5118
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
5119
5120
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
5121
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
5122
5123
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
5124
5125
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
5126
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
5127
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
5128
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
5129
5130
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
5131
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
5132
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
5133
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
5134
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
5135
5136
API INCOMPATABILITY:
5137
5138
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
5139
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
5140
5141
INTERNALS:
5142
5143
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
5144
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
5145
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
5146
5147
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
5148
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
5149
(John Arbash Meinel)
5150
5151
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
5152
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
5153
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
5154
5155
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
5156
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
5157
(Aaron Bentley)
5158
5159
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
5160
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
5161
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5162
5163
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
5164
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
5165
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
5166
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
5167
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
5168
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5169
5170
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
5171
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
5172
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
5173
(Robert Collins)
5174
5175
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
5176
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
5177
5178
BUG FIXES:
5179
5180
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
5181
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
5182
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
5183
#63360, #66349)
5184
5185
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
5186
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
5187
5188
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
5189
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
5190
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
5191
5192
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
5193
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
5194
5195
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
5196
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
5197
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
5198
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
5199
5200
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
5201
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
5202
5203
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
5204
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
5205
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
5206
5207
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
5208
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
5209
5210
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
5211
5212
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
5213
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
5214
#32054)
5215
5216
TESTING:
5217
5218
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
5219
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
5220
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
5221
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
5222
5223
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
5224
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
5225
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5226
5227
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
5238
5239
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John

5241
5242
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
5243
-----------------------
5244
5245
IMPROVEMENTS:
5246
5247
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
5248
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
5249
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
5250
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
5251
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
5252
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
5253
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
5254
5255
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
5256
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
5257
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
5258
5259
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
5260
5261
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
5262
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
5263
5264
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
5265
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
5266
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
5267
(Robert Collins)
5268
5269
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
5270
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
5271
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
5272
(John Arbash Meinel)
5273
5274
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
5275
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
5276
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
5277
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
5278
Pool)
5279
5280
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
5281
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
5282
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
5283
(John Arbash Meinel)
5284
5285
BUG FIXES:
5286
5287
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
5288
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
5289
5290
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
5291
5292
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
5293
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
5294
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
5295
5296
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
5297
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
5298
5299
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
5300
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
5301
5302
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
5303
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
5304
5305
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
5306
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
5307
5308
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
5309
5310
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
5311
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
5312
5313
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
5314
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
5315
5316
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
5317
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
5318
5319
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
5320
(John Arbash Meinel)
5321
5322
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
5323
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
5324
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
5325
5326
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
5327
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5328
5329
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
5330
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
5331
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
5332
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
5333
5334
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
5335
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
5336
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
5337
5338
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
5339
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
5340
5341
PORTABILITY:
5342
5343
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
5344
5345
INTERNALS:
5346
5347
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
5348
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
5349
(John Arbash Meinel)
5350
5351
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
5352
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
5353
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
5354
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
5355
5356
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
5357
(Andrew Bennetts)
5358
5359
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
5360
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
5361
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
5362
5363
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
5364
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
5365
5366
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
5367
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
5368
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
5369
5370
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
5371
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
5372
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
5373
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
5374
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
5375
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
5376
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
5377
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
5378
caller to repeat their request.
5379
(John Arbash Meinel)
5380
5381
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
5382
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
5383
5384
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
5385
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
5386
5387
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
5388
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
5389
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
5390
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
5391
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
5392
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
5393
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
5394
5395
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
5396
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
5397
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
5398
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
5399
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
5400
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
5401
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
5402
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
5403
(Robert Collins)
5404
5405
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
5406
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
5407
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
5408
5409
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
5410
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
5411
5412
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
5413
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
5414
5415
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
5416
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5417
5418
TESTING:
5419
5420
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
5421
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
5422
5423
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
5424
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
5425
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5426
5427
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
5428
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
5429
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
5430
5431
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
5432
--------------------
5433
5434
IMPROVEMENTS:
5435
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
5436
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
5437
5438
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
5439
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
5440
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
5441
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
5442
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
5443
5444
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
5445
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
5446
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
5447
5448
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
5449
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
5450
5451
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
5452
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
5453
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5454
5455
BUG FIXES:
5456
5457
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
5458
5459
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
5460
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
5461
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
5462
5463
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
5464
5465
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
5466
5467
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
5468
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
5469
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
5470
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
5471
5472
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
5473
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
5474
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
5475
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
5476
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
5477
5478
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
5479
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
5480
5481
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
5482
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
5483
5484
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
5485
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
5486
5487
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
5488
in handling of revision properties.
5489
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
5490
5491
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
5492
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
5493
5494
INTERNALS:
5495
5496
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
5497
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
5498
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
5499
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
5500
(John Arbash Meinel)
5501
5502
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
5503
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
5504
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
5505
5506
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
5507
---------------------
5508
5509
SURPRISES:
5510
5511
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
5512
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
5513
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
5514
specific one '.bzrignore'.
5515
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
5516
a more conservative list than the old default.
5517
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
5518
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
5519
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
5520
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
5521
5522
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
5523
to more locations than just branch locations.
5524
(Aaron Bentley)
5525
5526
IMPROVEMENTS:
5527
5528
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
5529
revno:N:branch. For example,
5530
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
5531
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
2
3
IMPROVEMENTS:
5532
4
5533
5
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
5534
6
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
5535
7
the path of a file that has been versioned.
5536
8
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
5537
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
9
Branch.get_parent()/set_parent() now save a relative path if possible,
5538
10
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
5539
11
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)

#42517, #42514)
13
#42517, #42514)
5542
14
5543
15
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
5544
16
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
5556
28
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
5557
29
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
5558
30
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
5559
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
5560
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
5561
(John Arbash Meinel)
5562
31
5563
32
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
5564
33
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
5582
51
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
5583
52
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
5584
53
Matthieu Moy)
5585
5586
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
5587
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
5588
5589
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
5590
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
5591
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
5592
the same way you would apply another branch.
5593
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
5594
54
5595
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
5596
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
5597
5598
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
5599
(Michael Ellerman)
5600
5601
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
5602
(Aaron Bentley)
5603
5604
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
5605
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
5606
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
5607
5608
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
5609
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
5610
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
5611
5612
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
5613
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
5614
5615
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
5616
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
5617
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
5618
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
5619
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
5620
5621
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
5622
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
5623
5624
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
5625
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
5626
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
5627
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
5628
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
5629
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
5630
branch is as much as 4x faster.
5631
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
5632
5633
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
5634
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
5635
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
5636
55
5637
56
BUG FIXES:
5638
57
5639
58
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
5640
tests not to run.
5641
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
59
tests not to run. (#32587, Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman,
60
Martin Pool)
5642
61
5643
62
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
5644
63
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5645
64
5646
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
5647
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
5648
5649
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
5650
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
5651
5652
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
5653
5654
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
5655
(John Arbash Meinel)
5656
5657
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
5658
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
5659
5660
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
5661
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
5662
and y.
5663
5664
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
5665
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
5666
5667
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
5668
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
5669
5670
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
5671
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
5672
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
5673
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
5674
5675
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
5676
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
5677
5678
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
5679
5680
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
5681
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
5682
5683
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
5684
5685
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
5686
5687
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
5688
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
5689
5690
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
5691
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
5692
5693
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
5694
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
5695
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
5696
5697
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
5698
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
5699
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
5700
5701
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
5702
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
5703
5704
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
5705
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
5706
5707
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
5708
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
5709
5710
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
5711
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
5712
5713
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
5714
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
5715
5716
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
5717
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
5718
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
5719
5720
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
5721
5722
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
5723
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
5724
5725
65
INTERNALS:
5726
66
5727
67
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
5728
68
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
5729
69
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
5730
70
5731
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
5732
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
5733
5734
71
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
5735
72
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
5736
73
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
5737
74
5738
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
75
* bzrlib.delta.compare_trees now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
5739
76
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
5740
77
5741
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
5742
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
5743
(Martin Pool)
5744
5745
78
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
5746
79
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
5747
80
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5748
81
5749
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
82
* Deprecate Repository.all_revision_ids; most methods don't really need
5750
83
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
5751
84
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
5752
85
5753
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
5754
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
5755
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
5756
5757
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
5758
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
5759
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
5760
5761
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
5762
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
5763
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
5764
5765
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
5766
instead. (Robert Collins)
5767
5768
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

5829
142
5863
176
IMPROVEMENTS:
5864
177
5865
178
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
5866
convention. Paths now take the form::
5867
5868
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
5869
or
5870
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
179
convention. Paths now take the form:
180
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
181
or
182
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
5871
183
5872
184
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
5873
185
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
5876
188
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
5877
189
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
5878
190
5879
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
5880
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
5881
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.

6525
832
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will

853
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
6551

IMPROVEMENTS:
6649
954
6650
955
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
6695
1000
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
6696
1001
handling of such circumstances.
6697
1002
6698
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
6699
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
6700
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
6701
6702
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
6703
6704
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
6705
we call them revisions not patches.
6706
6707
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
6708
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
6709
6710
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
6711
giving the revision *of that file*.
6712
6713
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
6714
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
6715
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
