:Codename: Monkey Magic
12
:2.2b4: NOT RELEASED YET
17
* URLs like ``foo:bar/baz`` are now always parsed as a URL with scheme "foo"
18
and path "bar/baz", even if bzr does not recognize "foo" as a known URL
19
scheme. Previously these URLs would be treated as local paths.
25
* Support ``--directory`` option for a number of additional commands:
26
conflicts, merge-directive, missing, resolve, shelve, switch,
27
unshelve, whoami. (Martin von Gagern, #527878)
32
* ``bzr init`` does not recursively scan directory contents anymore
33
leading to faster init for directories with existing content.
34
(Martin [gz], Parth Malwankar, #501307)
36
* ``bzr log --exclude-common-ancestry`` is now taken into account for
37
linear ancetries. (Vincent Ladeuil, #575631)
39
* ``bzr pull`` now works when a lp: URL is explicitly defined as the parent
40
or pull location in locations.conf or branch.conf.
41
(Gordon Tyler, #534787)
43
* Ensure that wrong path specifications in ``BZR_PLUGINS_AT`` display
44
proper error messages. (Vincent Ladeuil, #591215)
46
* Explicitly removing ``--profile-imports`` option from parsed command-line
47
arguments on Windows, because bzr script does the same.
48
(Alexander Belchenko, #588277)
50
* Fetching was slightly confused about the best code to use and was
51
using a new code path for all branches, resulting in more lookups than
52
necessary on old branches. (Robert Collins, #593515)
54
* Final fix for 'no help for command' issue. We now show a clean message
55
when a command has no help, document how to set help more clearly, and
56
test that all commands available to the test suite have help.
57
(Robert Collins, #177500)
59
* Raise ValueError instead of a string exception.
60
(John Arbash Meinel, #586926)
62
* Relative imports in plugins are now handled correctly when using
63
BZR_PLUGINS_AT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #588959)
65
* ``ScriptRunner`` now strips off leading indentation from test scripts,
66
which previously caused "SyntaxError: No command for line".
69
* ``walkdirs`` now raises a useful message when the filenames are not using
70
the filesystem encoding. (Eric Moritz, #488519)
72
* URL displayed for use with ``break-lock`` when smart server sees lock
73
contention are now valid. Default timeout for lock contention retry is
74
now 30 seconds instead of 300 seconds.
75
(Parth Malwankar, #250451)
80
* Bazaar now reads data from SSH connections more efficiently on platforms
81
that provide the ``socketpair`` function, and when using paramiko.
82
(Andrew Bennetts, #590637)
84
* ``Branch.copy_content_into`` is now a convenience method dispatching to
85
a ``InterBranch`` multi-method. This permits ``bzr-loom`` and other
86
plugins to intercept this even when a ``RemoteBranch`` proxy is in use.
87
(Robert Collins, #201613)
89
* Use lazy imports in ``bzrlib/merge.py`` so that plugins like ``news_merge``
90
do not cause modules to be loaded unnecessarily just because the plugin
91
registers a merge hook. This improves ``bzr rocks`` time by about 25%
92
in a default installation (with just the core plugins).
98
* Added ``regression`` tag to our tags list. (Robert Collins)
100
* Improved our release checklist to have a bit less churn and leave things
101
ready-to-go for the next action (including other people doing
102
development). (Robert Collins)
107
* ``bzrlib.branch.InterBranch._get_branch_formats_to_test`` now returns
108
an iterable of format pairs, rather than just a single pair, permitting
109
InterBranch objects that work with multiple permutations to be
110
comprehensively tested. (Robert Collins)
112
* ``bzrlib.knit.KnitSequenceMatcher``, which has been deprecated since
113
2007, has been deleted. Use ``PatienceSequenceMatcher`` from
114
``bzrlib.patiencediff`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
116
* ``bzrlib.transport.ssh.SSHVendor.connect_ssh`` now returns an object
117
that implements the interface of ``bzrlib.transport.ssh.SSHConnection``.
118
Third-party implementations of ``SSHVendor`` may need to be updated
119
accordingly. Similarly, any code using ``SSHConnection`` directly will
120
need to be updated. (Andrew Bennetts)
122
* The constructor of ``bzrilb.smart.medium.SmartSSHClientMedium`` has
123
changed to take an ``SSHParams`` instance (replacing many individual
124
values). (Andrew Bennetts)
129
* Improved ``bzrlib.urlutils`` to handle lp:foo/bar URLs. (Gordon Tyler)
140
This third beta in the 2.2 series brings with it all the goodness of 2.1.2
141
and 2.0.6 (though it preceeds 2.0.6 slightly). Of particular note for
142
users are compatibility fixes with bzr 1.5 and below servers, a hopeful
143
end to the EINTR errors caused by SIGWINCH interactions, a shiny new
144
bash completion script and bzr will no longer guess at identity details -
145
it was too unreliable in reality. Use ``bzr whoami`` on every new install.
146
For developers we have some API changes which may impact plugins as well
147
as a bunch of our regular improvements to internal clarity and test
153
* An API break has been made to the lock_write method of ``Branch`` and
154
``Repository`` objects; they now return ``branch.BranchWriteLockResult``
155
and ``repository.RepositoryWriteLockResult`` objects. This makes
156
changing the API in future easier and permits some cleaner calling code.
157
The lock_read method has also changed from having no defined return
158
value to returning ``LogicalLockResult`` objects.
161
* ``bzr`` does not try to guess the username as ``username@hostname``
162
and requires it to be explictly set. This can be set using ``bzr
164
(Parth Malwankar, #549310)
166
* ``bzrlib.commands.Command`` will now raise ValueError during
167
construction if there is no __doc__ set. (Note, this will be reverted in
168
2.2b4) (Robert Collins)
170
* The source tree no longer contains a contrib/zsh/_bzr completion
171
script. The new file contrib/zsh/README suggests alternatives.
172
(Martin von Gagern, #560030)
177
* ``bzr commit`` accepts ``-p`` (for "patch") as a shorter name for
179
(Parth Malwankar, #571467)
181
* ``bzr ignore`` now supports a ``--default-rules`` option that displays
182
the default ignore rules used by bzr. The flag ``--old-default-rules``
183
is no longer supported by ``ignore``.
184
(Parth Malwankar, #538703)
186
* ``bzr pack`` now supports a ``--clean-obsolete-packs`` option that
187
can save disk space by deleting obsolete pack files created during the
189
(Parth Malwankar, #304320)
191
* New command line option ``--authors`` to ``bzr log`` allows users to
192
select which of the apparent authors and committer should be
193
included in the log. Defaults depend on format. (Martin von Gagern, #513322)
195
* Support ``--directory`` option for a number of additional commands:
196
added, annotate, bind, cat, cat-revision, clean-tree, deleted,
197
export, ignore, ignored, lookup-revision, ls, modified, nick,
198
re-sign, unbind, unknowns.
199
(Martin von Gagern, #527878)
201
* The bash_completion plugin from the bzr-bash-completion project has
202
been merged into the tree. It provides a bash-completion command and
203
replaces the outdated ``contrib/bash/bzr`` script with a version
204
using the plugin. (Martin von Gagern, #560030)
206
* A new transport based on GIO (the gnome i/o library) provides access to
207
samba shares, webdav using gio+smb and gio+dav. It is also possible to
208
use gio for some already existing transport methods as gio+file,
215
* Alias information shown by ``bzr help`` is now accurate. This
216
was showing an internal object name for some plugin aliases.
217
(Parth Malwankar, #584650)
219
* ``.bazaar``, ``.bazaar/bazaar.conf`` and ``.bzr.log`` inherit user and
220
group ownership from the containing directory. This allow bzr to work
222
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, Parth Malwankar, #376388)
224
* ``bzr clean-tree`` should not delete nested bzrdirs. Required for proper
225
support of bzr-externals and scmproj plugins.
226
(Alexander Belchenko, bug #572098)
228
* ``bzr ignore`` will no longer add duplicate patterns to .bzrignore.
229
(Gordon Tyler, #572092)
231
* ``bzr log --exclude-common-ancestry -r X..Y`` displays the revisions that
232
are part of Y ancestry but not part of X ancestry (aka the graph
234
(Vincent Ladeuil, #320119)
236
* ``bzr lp-propose`` which was switched to use production Launchpad API
237
servers a few commits ago has been reverted to use edge: there is a
238
problem with using production which isn't trivially obvious, so we've
239
filed a bug to track it, and until thats fixed will be using edge.
240
(Robert Collins, #583667)
242
* ``bzr rm`` should not refuse to delete directories which contained a file
243
which has been moved elsewhere in the tree after the previous commit.
244
(Marius Kruger, Daniel Watkins, #129880)
246
* ``bzr selftest --parallel=fork`` wait for its children avoiding zombies.
247
(Vincent Ladeuil, #566670)
249
* ``bzr selftest`` should not use ui.note() since it's not unicode safe.
250
(Vincent Ladeuil, #563997)
252
* CommitBuilder refuses to create revisions whose trees have no root.
255
* Do not register a SIGWINCH signal handler, instead just poll for the
256
terminal width as needed. This avoids the "Interrupted System Call"
257
problems that occur on POSIX with all currently released versions of
259
(Andrew Bennetts, #583941)
261
* Don't mention --no-strict when we just issue the warning about unclean trees.
262
(Vincent Ladeuil, #401599)
264
* Fixed ``AssertionError`` when accessing smart servers running Bazaar
266
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
268
* Improved progress bar for fetch (2a format only). Bazaar now shows an
269
estimate of the number of records to be fetched vs actually fetched.
270
(Parth Malwankar, #374740, #538868)
272
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
273
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
275
* ``RemoteBranch.lock_write`` raises ``ReadOnlyError`` if called during a
276
read lock, rather than causing an ``AttributeError``.
277
(Andrew Bennetts, Данило Шеган, #582781)
279
* Selftest was failing with testtools 0.9.3, which caused an
280
AssertionError raised from a cleanUp to be reported as a Failure, not an
281
Error, breaking on of our test hygiene tests.
282
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil).
284
* ``set_user_option`` with a dict on remote branches no longer fails with
285
an AttributeError. There is a new ``Branch.set_config_option_dict`` RPC
286
to support this efficiently.
287
(Andrew Bennetts, #430382)
289
* Show the filenames when a file rename fails so that the error will be
291
(Martin Pool, #491763)
293
* Support Pyrex 0.9.9, required changing how we handle exceptions in Pyrex.
294
(John Arbash Meinel, #582656)
296
* Unicode characters in aliases are now handled correctly and do not cause
297
UnicodeEncodeError exception. (Parth Malwankar, #529930)
299
* Unicode commit messages that are the same as a file name no longer cause
300
UnicodeEncodeError. ``ui.text.show_warning`` now handles unicode
302
(Parth Malwankar, #563646)
304
* Using bzr with `lp:` urls behind an http proxy should work.
305
(Robert Collins, #558343)
307
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
308
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
309
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.
310
(John Arbash Meinel, #583486)
315
* ``append_revisions_only`` will now be interpreted as a boolean and a
316
warning emitted if illegal values are used. Note that for projects
317
that needs to maintain compatibility with previsous bzr versions,
318
only 'True' and 'False' strings must be used (previous versions of
319
bzr will interpret all strings differing from 'True'
320
(case-sensitive) as false.
321
(Brian de Alwis, Vincent Ladeuil)
323
* ``bzr ls`` now supports short options for existing long options.
324
``-k/--kind``, ``-i/--ignored``, ``-u/--unknown`` and ``-0/--null``.
325
(Parth Malwankar, #181124)
327
* ``Config.get_user_option_as_bool`` will now warn if a value cannot
328
be interpreted as a boolean.
331
* The all-in-one Windows installer will now be built with docstrings stripped
332
from the library zip, reducing the size and slightly improving cold startup
333
time. Bundled plugins are unchanged for the moment, but if adding other new
334
plugins to an all-in-one installation, ensure they are compiled and
335
installed with -O1 or help may not work. (Martin [gz])
343
* Added ``bzrlib.merge.PerFileMerger``, a more convenient way to write
344
some kinds of ``merge_file_content`` hook functions.
347
* `BzrDir`, `Branch`, `Repository` and `WorkingTree` now all support `user_url`,
348
`user_transport`, `control_url` and `control_transport` members pointing
349
respectively to the directory containing the ``.bzr`` control directory,
350
and to the directory within ``.bzr`` used for the particular component.
351
All of them inherit from `ControlComponent` which provides default
355
* Lock methods on ``Tree``, ``Branch`` and ``Repository`` are now
356
expected to return an object which can be used to unlock them. This reduces
357
duplicate code when using cleanups. The previous 'tokens's returned by
358
``Branch.lock_write`` and ``Repository.lock_write`` are now attributes
359
on the result of the lock_write. ``repository.RepositoryWriteLockResult``
360
and ``branch.BranchWriteLockResult`` document this. (Robert Collins)
362
* ``Repository.refresh_data`` may now be called in a write group on
363
pack-based repositories. Older repositories will still raise an error
364
in this case. Subclasses of ``Repository`` can still override
365
``Repository._refresh_data``, but are now responsible for raising
366
``bzrlib.repository.IsInWriteGroupError`` if they do not support
367
``refresh_data`` during a write group.
368
(Andrew Bennetts, #574236)
373
* ``chk_map._bytes_to_text_key`` is now an optimized function to extract
374
the (file-id, revision-id) key from a CHKInventory entry. This can
375
potentially shave 5-10% time off during a large fetch. Related to bug
376
#562666. (John Arbash Meinel)
378
* ``log._get_info_for_log_files`` now takes an add_cleanup callable.
381
* ``_remember_remote_is_before`` no longer raises AssertionError when
382
suboptimal network behaviour is noticed; instead it just mutters to the
383
log file (and warns the user if they have set the ``hpss`` debug flag).
384
This was causing unnecessary aborts for performance bugs that are minor
386
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
388
* Permit bzr to run under ``python -OO`` which reduces the size of bytecode
389
files loaded from disk. To ensure docstrings needed for help are never
390
stripped, the prefix ``__doc__ =`` should now be used.
391
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>)
393
* No longer require zlib headers to build extensions, and remove the need
394
for seperate copy of zlib library on windows.
395
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #66923)
400
* Added ``bzrlib.tests.matchers`` as a place to put matchers, along with
401
our first in-tree matcher. See the module docstring for details.
404
* ``bzr selftest --parallel=subprocess`` now works correctly on win32.
405
(Gordon Tyler, #551332)
407
* Workaround ``Crypto.Random`` check leading to spurious test
408
failures on Lucid, FreeBSD and gentoo.
409
(Vincent Ladeuil, #528436)
411
* New class ``ExecutableFeature`` for checking the availability of
412
executables on the ``PATH``. Migrated from bash_completion plugin.
420
This is a somewhat early second beta of the 2.2 series, to fix a python2.4
421
incompatibility in the 2.2b1 release. It also includes a swag of
422
performance, usability and correctness improvements: test feedback on all
423
of these would be welcome.
429
* ``bzr diff`` now supports a --format option, which can be used to
430
select alternative diff formats. (Jelmer Vernooij, #555994)
435
* ``bzr dpush``, ``bzr push`` and ``bzr send`` will now issue a warning
436
instead of failing when dirty trees are involved. The corresponding
437
``dpush_strict``, ``push_strict`` and ``send_strict`` should be set to
438
True explicitly to get the previous behaviour.
439
(Vincent Ladeuil, #519319)
441
* ``bzr export`` to tar file does not fail if any parent directory
442
contains unicode characters. This works around upstream Python bug
443
http://bugs.python.org/issue8396 .
444
(Parth Malwankar, #413406)
446
* ``bzr switch`` does not die if a ConfigurableFileMerger is used.
447
(Aaron Bentley, #559436)
449
* ``bzr update`` when a pending merge in the working tree has been merged
450
into the master branch will no longer claim that old commits have become
451
pending merges. (Robert Collins, #562079)
453
* ``bzrlib.mutabletree.MutableTree.commit`` will now support a passed in
454
config as in previous versions of bzrlib. (Robert Collins)
456
* Fix glitch in the warning about unclean trees display.
457
(Vincent Ladeuil, #562665)
459
* Fixed Python2.4 incompatibilities in the bzr2.2b1 source tarball.
462
* Help messages generated by ``RegistryOption.from_kwargs`` list the
463
switches in alphabetical order, rather than in an undefined order.
464
(Martin von Gagern, #559409)
466
* Make sure the ``ExecutablePath`` and ``InterpreterPath`` are set in
467
Apport crash reports, to avoid "This problem report applies to a program
468
which is not installed any more" error.
469
(Martin Pool, James Westby, #528114)
471
* Reset ``siginterrupt`` flag to False every time we handle a signal
472
installed with ``set_signal_handler(..., restart_syscall=True)`` (from
473
``bzrlib.osutils``. Reduces the likelihood of "Interrupted System Call"
474
errors compared to registering ``signal.signal`` directly.
477
* When invoked with a range revision, ``bzr log`` doesn't show revisions
478
that are not part of the Y revisions ancestry anymore when invoked with
480
(Vincent Ladeuil, #474807)
482
* Properly handle ``param_name`` attribute for ``ListOption``.
483
(Martin von Gagern, 387117)
488
* ``bzr commit`` will prompt before using a commit message that was
489
generated by a template and not edited by the user.
490
(Robert Collins, #530265)
492
* ``bzr diff`` read-locks the trees and branches only once, saving about
493
10-20ms on ``bzr diff`` in a bzr.dev tree.
496
* ``bzr missing`` read-locks the branches only once.
499
* ``bzr pull`` locks the branches and tree only once.
502
* Index lookups in pack repositories search recently hit pack files first.
503
In repositories with many pack files this can greatly reduce the
504
number of files accessed, the number of bytes read, and the number of
505
read calls. An incremental pull via plain HTTP takes half the time and
506
bytes for a moderately large repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
508
* Index lookups only re-order the indexes when the hit files aren't
509
already first. Reduces the cost of reordering
510
(John Arbash Meinel, #562429)
512
* Less code is loaded at startup. (Cold-cache start time is about 10-20%
514
(Martin Pool, #553017)
519
* ``bzrlib.diff.get_trees_and_branches_to_diff`` is deprecated. Use
520
``get_trees_and_branches_to_diff_locked`` instead.
523
* ``TreeTransform.commit`` supports the full set of commit parameters, and
524
auto-determines branch nick if not supplied. (Aaron Bentley)
529
* ``bzrlib.commands.Command.run_direct`` is no longer needed - the pre
530
2.1 method of calling run() to perform testing or direct use via the API
531
is now possible again. As part of this, the _operation attribute on
532
Command is now transient and only exists for the duration of ``run()``.
540
This is the first beta of the 2.2 series, leading up to a 2.2.0
541
release in July or August. Beta releases are suitable for everyday use
542
but may cause some incompatibilities with plugins. Some plugins may need
543
small updates to work with 2.2b1.
545
2.2b1 includes some changes to make merge conflicts easier to understand
546
and resolve. It also removes some old unnecessary code, and loads
547
somewhat less code at startup. It starts adding a common infrastructure
548
for dealing with colocated named branches, which can be implemented in
549
various ways in either bzr native or foreign formats. On Ubuntu and
550
other platforms with the apport bug-reporting library, there's an easier
551
path to report problems with bzr. We plan to continue with these themes
552
through the 2.2 series.
554
Over thirty bugs have been fixed, including in the log command, exporting
555
to tarballs, restarting interrupted system calls, portability of compiled
556
extensions, making backups during upgrade, and locking on ftp.
561
* BTreeGraphIndex can now take an offset to indicate that the data starts
562
somewhere other than then beginning of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
564
* Deleted very old hidden commands ``versionedfile-list``,
565
``weave-plan-merge``, ``weave-merge-text``.
568
* ``Repository.get_inventory_sha1()`` and ``Repository.get_revision_xml()``
569
have been removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
571
* ``Repository.get_revision_inventory()`` has been removed in favor of
572
``Repository.get_inventory()``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
574
* All test servers have been moved out of the bzrlib.transport hierarchy to
575
bzrlib.tests.test_server *except* for MemoryServer, ChrootServer and
576
PathFilteringServer. ``bzrlib`` users may encounter test failures that can
577
be fixed by updating the related imports from ``bzrlib.transport.xxx`` to
578
``bzrlib.tests.test_server``.
581
* ``BranchReferenceFormat.initialize()`` now takes an optional name argument
582
as its second parameter, for consistency with the initialize() method of
583
other formats. (Jelmer Vernooij)
588
* Added ``bzr remove-branch`` command that can remove a local or remote
589
branch. (Jelmer Vernooij, #276295)
591
* ``bzr export`` now takes an optional argument ``--per-file-timestamps``
592
to set file mtimes to the last timestamp of the last revision in which
593
they were changed rather than the current time. (Jelmer Vernooij)
595
* If the Apport crash-reporting tool is available, bzr crashes are now
596
stored into the ``/var/crash`` apport spool directory, and the user is
597
invited to report them to the developers from there, either
598
automatically or by running ``apport-bug``. No information is sent
599
without specific permission from the user. (Martin Pool, #515052)
601
* Parsing of command lines, for example in ``diff --using``, no longer
602
treats backslash as an escape character on Windows. (Gordon Tyler,
605
* Plugins can be disabled by defining ``BZR_DISABLE_PLUGINS`` as
606
a list of plugin names separated by ':' (';' on windows).
607
(Vincent Ladeuil, #411413)
609
* Plugins can be loaded from arbitrary locations by defining
610
``BZR_PLUGINS_AT`` as a list of name@path separated by ':' (';' on
611
windows). This takes precedence over ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` for the
612
specified plugins. This is targeted at plugin developers for punctual
613
needs and *not* intended to replace ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH``.
614
(Vincent Ladeuil, #82693)
616
* Tag names can now be determined automatically by ``automatic_tag_name``
617
hooks on ``Branch`` if they are not specified on the command line.
620
* Tree-shape conflicts can be resolved by providing ``--take-this`` and
621
``--take-other`` to the ``bzr resolve`` command. Just marking the conflict
622
as resolved is still accessible via the ``--done`` default action.
625
* Merges can be proposed on Launchpad with the new lp-propose-merge command.
626
(Aaron Bentley, Jonathan Lange)
631
* Added docstring for ``Tree.iter_changes``
632
(John Arbash Meinel, #304182)
634
* Allow additional arguments to
635
``RemoteRepository.add_inventory_by_delta()``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #532631)
637
* Allow exporting a single file using ``bzr export``.
638
(Michal Junák, #511987)
640
* Allow syscalls to automatically restart when ``TextUIFactory``'s
641
SIGWINCH handler is invoked, avoiding ``EINTR`` errors during blocking
642
IO, which are often poorly handled by Python's libraries and parts of
643
bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
645
* Avoid infinite recursion when probing for apport.
646
(Vincent Ladeuil, #516934)
648
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
649
(Martin Pool, #331095)
651
* Avoid truncating svn URLs.
652
(Martin Pool, Martin von Gagern, #545185)
654
* ``bzr add`` will not add conflict related files unless explicitly required.
655
(Vincent Ladeuil, #322767, #414589)
657
* ``bzr dump-btree`` now works on ``*.cix`` and ``*.six`` files. Those
658
indices do not have reference lists, so ``dump-btree`` will simply show
659
``None`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts, #488607)
661
* ``bzr help`` will no longer trigger the get_missing_command hook when
662
doing a topic lookup. This avoids prompting (like 'no command plugins/loom,
663
did you mean log?') when getting help. In future we may trigger the hook
664
deliberately when no help topics match from any help index.
665
(Robert Collins, #396261)
667
* ``bzr log -n0 -r..A.B.C`` should not crash but just consider the None
668
revspec as representing the first revision of the branch.
669
(Vincent Ladeuil, #519862)
671
* ``bzr remove-tree`` can now remove multiple working trees.
672
(Jared Hance, Andrew Bennetts, #253137)
674
* ``bzr resolve --take-this`` and ``--take-other`` now correctly renames
675
the kept file on content conflicts where one side deleted the file.
676
(Vincent Ladeuil, #529968)
678
* ``bzr upgrade`` now creates the ``backup.bzr`` directory with the same
679
permissions as ``.bzr`` directory on a POSIX OS.
680
(Parth Malwankar, #262450)
682
* ``bzr upgrade`` now names backup directory as ``backup.bzr.~N~`` instead
683
of ``backup.bzr``. This directory is ignored by bzr commands such as
685
(Parth Malwankar, #335033, #300001)
687
* Cope with non-utf8 characters inside ``.bzrignore``.
688
(Jason Spashett, #183504)
690
* Correctly interpret "451 Rename/move failure: Directory not empty" from
691
ftp servers while trying to take a lock.
692
(Martin Pool, #528722)
694
* DirStateRevisionTree.kind() was returning wrong result when 'kind'
695
changes occured between the workingtree and one of its parents.
696
(Vincent Ladeuil, #535547)
698
* Fix ``log`` to better check ancestors even if merged revisions are involved.
699
(Vincent Ladeuil, #476293)
701
* Loading a plugin from a given path with ``BZR_PLUGINS_AT`` doesn't depend
702
on os.lisdir() order and is now reliable.
703
(Vincent Ladeuil, #552922).
705
* Many IO operations that returned ``EINTR`` were retried even if it
706
wasn't safe to do so via careless use of ``until_no_eintr``. Bazaar now
707
only retries operations that are safe to retry, and in some cases has
708
switched to operations that can be retried (e.g. ``sock.send`` rather than
710
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #496813)
712
* Path conflicts now support --take-this and --take-other even when a
713
deletion is involved.
714
(Vincent Ladeuil, #531967)
716
* Network transfer amounts and rates are now displayed in SI units according
717
to the Ubuntu Units Policy <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UnitsPolicy>.
718
(Gordon Tyler, #514399)
720
* Support kind markers for socket and fifo filesystem objects. This
721
prevents ``bzr status --short`` from crashing when those files are
722
present. (John Arbash Meinel, #303275)
724
* ``bzr mkdir DIR`` will not create DIR unless DIR's parent is a versioned
725
directory. (Parth Malwankar, #138600)
727
* SSH child processes will now ignore SIGQUIT on nix systems so breaking into
728
the debugger won't kill the session.
729
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #162502)
731
* Tolerate patches with leading noise in ``bzr-handle-patch``.
732
(Toshio Kuratomi, Martin Pool, #502076)
734
* ``update -r`` now supports updating to revisions that are not on
735
mainline (i.e. it supports dotted revisions).
736
(Parth Malwankar, #517800)
738
* Use first apparent author not committer in GNU Changelog format.
739
(Martin von Gagern, #513322)
744
* ``bzrlib.merge_directive._BaseMergeDirective`` has been renamed to
745
``bzrlib.merge_directive.BaseMergeDirective`` and is now public.
748
* ``BranchFormat.initialize`` now takes an optional ``name`` of the colocated
749
branch to create. (Jelmer Vernooij)
751
* ``BzrDir.get_branch_transport`` now takes an optional ``name`` of the
752
colocated branch to open. (Jelmer Vernooij)
754
* Added ``bzrlib.osutils.set_signal_handler``, a convenience function that
755
can set a signal handler and call ``signal.siginterrupt(signum,
756
False)`` for it, if the platform and Python version supports it.
757
(Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
759
* New ``bzrlib.initialize`` is recommended for programs using bzrlib to
760
run when starting up; it sets up several things that previously needed
761
to be done separately.
762
(Martin Pool, #507710)
764
* Exporters now support a ``per_file_timestamps`` argument to write out the
765
timestamp of the commit in which a file revision was introduced.
768
* New method ``BzrDir.list_branches()`` that returns a sequence of branches
769
present in a control directory. (Jelmer Vernooij)
771
* New method ``Repository.get_known_graph_ancestry()``.
772
(Jelmer Vernooij, #495502)
774
* New transport methods ``readlink``, ``symlink`` and ``hardlink``.
777
* Remove unused ``CommandFailed`` exception.
783
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` now accepts a
784
``message_callback`` in the same way that commit does. (Robert Collins)
786
* ``bzrlib.builtins.Commit.run`` raises ``bzrlib.errors.BoundBranchOutOfDate``
787
rather than ``bzrlib.errors.BzrCommandError`` when the bound branch is out
788
of date. (Gary van der Merwe)
790
* ``bzrlib.commands.run_bzr`` is more extensible: callers can supply the
791
functions to load or disable plugins if they wish to use a different
792
plugin mechanism; the --help, --version and no-command name code paths
793
now use the generic pluggable command lookup infrastructure.
796
* ``bzrlib.errors.BoundBranchOutOfDate`` has a new field ``extra_help``
797
which can be set to add extra help to the error. (Gary van der Merwe)
799
* New method ``Branch.automatic_tag_name`` that can be used to find the
800
tag name for a particular revision automatically. (Jelmer Vernooij)
802
* The methods ``BzrDir.create_branch()``, ``BzrDir.destroy_branch()`` and
803
``BzrDir.open_branch()`` now take an optional ``name`` argument.
809
* bzr now has a ``.testr.conf`` file in its source tree configured
810
appropriately for running tests with Testrepository
811
(``https://launchpad.net/testrepository``). (Robert Collins)
813
* Documentation about testing with ``subunit`` has been tweaked.
816
* Known failures has been added for resolve --take-other on ParentLoop
817
conflicts. This reflects bug #537956 without fixing it.
820
* New ``bzrlib.tests.test_import_tariff`` can make assertions about what
821
Python modules are loaded, to guard against startup time or library
822
dependency regressions.
825
* PQM will now run with subunit output. To analyze a PQM error use
826
tribunal, or cat log | subunit-filter | subunit2pyunit. (Robert Collins)
828
* Stop sending apport crash files to ``.cache`` in the directory from
829
which ``bzr selftest`` was run. (Martin Pool, #422350)
831
* Tests no longer fail if "close() called during concurrent
832
operation on the same file object" occurs when closing the log file
833
(which can happen if a thread tries to write to the log file at the
834
wrong moment). An warning will be written to ``stderr`` when this
835
happens, and another warning will be written if the log file could not
836
be closed after retrying 100 times. (Andrew Bennetts, #531746)
841
:Codename: Do run run
842
:2.1.3: NOT RELEASED YET
853
* Raise ValueError instead of a string exception.
854
(John Arbash Meinel, #586926)
876
This release fixes two critical networking issues with older servers and
877
with interrupted system call errors when pushing or pulling. We recommend
878
upgrading to anyone running a 2.1.x version of bzr.
883
* ``bzr clean-tree`` should not delete nested bzrdirs. Required for proper
884
support of bzr-externals and scmproj plugins.
885
(Alexander Belchenko, bug #572098)
887
* ``bzr switch`` does not die if a ConfigurableFileMerger is used.
888
(Aaron Bentley, #559436)
890
* Do not register a SIGWINCH signal handler, instead just poll for the
891
terminal width as needed. This avoids the "Interrupted System Call"
892
problems that occur on POSIX with all currently released versions of
894
(Andrew Bennetts, #583941)
896
* Fixed ``AssertionError`` when accessing smart servers running Bazaar
898
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
900
* Reset ``siginterrupt`` flag to False every time we handle a signal
901
installed with ``set_signal_handler(..., restart_syscall=True)`` (from
902
``bzrlib.osutils``. Reduces the likelihood of "Interrupted System Call"
903
errors compared to registering ``signal.signal`` directly.
906
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
907
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
909
* Support Pyrex 0.9.9, required changing how we handle exceptions in Pyrex.
910
(John Arbash Meinel, #582656)
912
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
913
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
914
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.
915
(John Arbash Meinel, #583486)
920
* ``_remember_remote_is_before`` no longer raises AssertionError when
921
suboptimal network behaviour is noticed; instead it just mutters to the
922
log file (and warns the user if they have set the ``hpss`` debug flag).
923
This was causing unnecessary aborts for performance bugs that are minor
925
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
933
This is a small bugfix release. Upgrading is recommended for anyone
934
running 2.1.0 or earlier.
939
* Allow syscalls to automatically restart when ``TextUIFactory``'s
940
SIGWINCH handler is invoked, avoiding ``EINTR`` errors during blocking
941
IO, which are often poorly handled by Python's libraries and parts of
942
bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
944
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
945
(Martin Pool, #331095)
947
* Fix plugin packaging on Windows. (Ian Clatworthy, #524162)
949
* Fix stub sftp test server to call os.getcwdu().
950
(Vincent Ladeuil, #526221, #526353)
952
* Fixed CHM generation by moving the NEWS section template into
953
a separate file. (Ian Clatworthy, #524184)
955
* Merge correctly when this_tree is not a WorkingTree. (Aaron Bentley)
957
* Register SIGWINCH handler only when creating a ``TextUIFactory``; avoids
958
problems importing bzrlib from a non-main thread.
959
(Elliot Murphy, #521989)
961
* Repositories accessed via a smart server now reject being stacked on a
962
repository in an incompatible format, as is the case when accessing them
963
via other methods. This was causing fetches from those repositories via
964
a smart server (e.g. using ``bzr branch``) to receive invalid data.
965
(Andrew Bennetts, #562380)
967
* Standardize the error handling when creating a new ``StaticTuple``
968
(problems will raise TypeError). (Matt Nordhoff, #457979)
970
* Warn if pyrex is too old to compile the new ``SimpleSet`` and
971
``StaticTuple`` extensions, rather than having the build fail randomly.
972
(John Arbash Meinel, #449776)
977
* Added a link to the Desktop Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
979
* Added What's New in Bazaar 2.1 document. (Ian Clatworthy)
981
* Drop Google Analytics from the core docs as they caused problems
982
in the CHM files. (Ian Clatworthy, #502010)
987
* Added ``bzrlib.osutils.set_signal_handler``, a convenience function that
988
can set a signal handler and call ``signal.siginterrupt(signum,
989
False)`` for it, if the platform and Python version supports it.
990
(Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
996
:Codename: Strasbourg
999
This release marks our second long-term-stable series. The Bazaar team
1000
has decided that we will continue to make bugfix-only 2.0.x and 2.1.x
1001
releases, along with 2.2 development releases.
1003
This is a fairly incremental update, focusing on polish and bugfixing.
1004
There are no changes for supported disk formats. Key updates include
1005
reduced memory consumption for many operations, a new per-file merge
1006
hook, ignore patterns can now include '!' to exclude files, globbing
1007
support for all commands on Windows, and support for addressing home
1008
directories via ``bzr+ssh://host/~/`` syntax.
1010
Users are encouraged to upgrade from the 2.0 stable series.
1015
* Don't require testtools to use sftp.
1016
(Vincent Ladeuil, #516183)
1018
* Fix "AttributeError in Inter1and2Helper" during fetch.
1019
(Martin Pool, #513432)
1021
* ``bzr update`` performs the two merges in a more logical order and will stop
1022
when it encounters conflicts.
1023
(Gerard Krol, #113809)
1025
* Give a better error message when doing ``bzr bind`` in an already bound
1026
branch. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #513063)
1028
* Ignore ``KeyError`` from ``remove_index`` during ``_abort_write_group``
1029
in a pack repository, which can happen harmlessly if the abort occurs during
1030
finishing the write group. Also use ``bzrlib.cleanup`` so that any
1031
other errors that occur while aborting the individual packs won't be
1032
hidden by secondary failures when removing the corresponding indices.
1033
(Andrew Bennetts, #423015)
1035
* Set the mtime of files exported to a directory by ``bzr export`` all to
1036
the same value to avoid confusing ``make`` and other date-based build
1037
systems. (Robert Collins, #515631)
1042
* Fetching into experimental formats will now print a warning. (Jelmer
1048
* ``Repository.deserialise_inventory`` has been renamed to
1049
``Repository._deserialise_inventory`` to indicate it is private.
1052
* ``Repository.get_inventory_xml`` has been renamed to
1053
``Repository._get_inventory_xml`` to indicate it is private.
1056
* ``Repository.serialise_inventory`` has been renamed to
1057
``Repository._serialise_inventory`` to indicate it is private.
1059
* Using the ``bzrlib.chk_map`` module from within multiple threads at the
1060
same time was broken due to race conditions with a module level page
1061
cache. This shows up as a KeyError in the ``bzrlib.lru_cache`` code with
1062
``bzrlib.chk_map`` in the backtrace, and can be triggered without using
1063
the same high level objects such as ``bzrlib.repository.Repository``
1064
from different threads. chk_map now uses a thread local cache which may
1065
increase memory pressure on processes using threads.
1066
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #514090)
1068
* The new ``merge_file_content`` should now be ok with tests to avoid
1070
(Vincent Ladeuil, #515597)
1075
* Use ``bzrlib.cleanup`` rather than less robust ``try``/``finally``
1076
blocks in several places in ``bzrlib.merge``. This avoids masking prior
1077
errors when errors like ``ImmortalPendingDeletion`` occur during cleanup
1079
(Andrew Bennetts, #517275)
1084
* The ``remove_index`` method of
1085
``bzrlib.repofmt.pack_repo.AggregateIndex`` no longer takes a ``pack``
1086
argument. This argument was always ignored.
1087
(Andrew Bennetts, #423015)
1092
:Codename: after the bubbles
1093
:2.1.0rc2: 2010-01-29
1095
This is a quick-turn-around to update a small issue with our new per-file
1096
merge hook. We expect no major changes from this to the final 2.1.0.
1101
* The new ``merge_file_content`` hook point has been altered to provide a
1102
better API where state for extensions can be stored rather than the
1103
too-simple function based approach. This fixes a performance regression
1104
where branch configuration would be parsed per-file during merge. As
1105
part of this the included news_merger has been refactored into a base
1106
helper class ``bzrlib.merge.ConfigurableFileMerger``.
1107
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #513822)
1113
:Codename: the 'new' stable
1114
:2.1.0rc1: 2009-01-21
1116
This is the first stable release candidate for Bazaar's 2.1 series. From
1117
this point onwards, the 2.1 series will be considered stable (as the 2.0
1118
series) and only bugfixes are expected to be incorporated. The dozen or so
1119
bugfixes in the 2.0.4 release are also included in this release (along
1120
with more than 15 more bugfixes). Some of the interesting features are
1121
support for per-file merge hooks, ``bzr unshelve --preview``, support
1122
for using ! in ignore files to exclude files from being ignored, a small
1123
memory leak was squashed, and many ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors were fixed.
1124
This looks to be a very good start for a new stable series.
1130
* Add bug information to log output when available.
1131
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, Guillermo Gonzalez, #251729)
1133
* Added ``merge_file_content`` hook point to ``Merger``, allowing plugins
1134
to register custom merge logic, e.g. to provide smarter merging for
1137
* Bazaar now includes the ``news_merge`` plugin. It is disabled by
1138
default, to enable it add a ``news_merge_files`` option to your
1139
configuration. Consult ``bzr help news_merge`` for more information.
1142
* ``bzr branch`` now takes a ``--bind`` option. This lets you
1143
branch and bind all in one command. (Ian Clatworthy)
1145
* ``bzr switch`` now takes a ``--revision`` option, to allow switching to
1146
a specific revision of a branch. (Daniel Watkins, #183559)
1148
* ``bzr unshelve --preview`` can now be used to show how a patch on the
1149
shelf would be applied to the working tree.
1150
(Guilherme Salgado, #308122)
1152
* ``bzr update`` now takes a ``--revision`` argument. This lets you
1153
change the revision of the working tree to any revision in the
1154
ancestry of the current or master branch. (Matthieu Moy, Mark Hammond,
1155
Martin Pool, #45719)
1157
* ``-Dbytes`` can now be used to display the total number of bytes
1158
transferred for the current command. This information is always logged
1159
to ``.bzr.log`` for later inspection. (John Arbash Meinel)
1161
* New ignore patterns. Patterns prefixed with '!' are exceptions to
1162
ignore patterns and take precedence over regular ignores. Such
1163
exceptions are used to specify files that should be versioned which
1164
would otherwise be ignored. Patterns prefixed with '!!' act as regular
1165
ignore patterns, but have highest precedence, even over the '!'
1166
exception patterns. (John Whitley, #428031)
1168
* The ``supress_warnings`` configuration option has been introduced to disable
1169
various warnings (it currently only supports the ``format_deprecation``
1170
warning). The new option can be set in any of the following locations:
1171
``bazaar.conf``, ``locations.conf`` and/or ``branch.conf``.
1172
(Ted Gould, Matthew Fuller, Vincent Ladeuil)
1177
* Always show a message if an OS error occurs while trying to run a
1178
user-specified commit message editor.
1179
(Martin Pool, #504842)
1181
* ``bzr diff`` will now use the epoch when it is unable to determine
1182
the timestamp of a file, if the revision it was introduced in is a
1183
ghost. (Jelmer Vernooij, #295611)
1185
* ``bzr switch -b`` can now create branches that are located using directory
1186
services such as ``lp:``, even when the branch name doesn't contain a
1187
'/'. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #495263)
1189
* ``bzr unshelve`` has improved messages about what it is doing.
1190
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #496917)
1192
* Concurrent autopacking is more resilient to already-renamed pack files.
1193
If we find that a file we are about to obsolete is already obsoleted, we
1194
do not try to rename it, and we leave the file in ``obsolete_packs``.
1195
The code is also fault tolerant if a file goes missing, assuming that
1196
another process already removed the file.
1197
(John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507557)
1199
* Fix "Too many concurrent requests" in reconcile when network connection
1200
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #503878)
1202
* Fixed a side effect mutation of ``RemoteBzrDirFormat._network_name``
1203
that caused some tests to fail when run in a non-default order.
1204
Probably no user impact. (Martin Pool, #504102)
1206
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` error in ``bzr cat -rbranch:../foo FILE``.
1207
(Andrew Bennetts, #506274)
1209
* FTP transports support Unicode paths by encoding/decoding them as utf8.
1210
(Vincent Ladeuil, #472161)
1212
* Listen to the SIGWINCH signal to update the terminal width.
1213
(Vincent Ladeuil, #316357)
1215
* Progress bars are now hidden when ``--quiet`` is given.
1216
(Martin Pool, #320035)
1218
* ``SilentUIFactory`` now supports ``make_output_stream`` and discards
1219
whatever is written to it. This un-breaks some plugin tests that
1220
depended on this behaviour.
1221
(Martin Pool, #499757)
1223
* When operations update the working tree, all affected files should end
1224
up with the same mtime. (eg. when versioning a generated file, if you
1225
update the source and the generated file together, the generated file
1226
should appear up-to-date.)
1227
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin <gzlist>, #488724)
1232
* Added ``add_cleanup`` and ``cleanup_now`` to ``bzrlib.command.Command``.
1233
All the builtin commands now use ``add_cleanup`` rather than
1234
``try``/``finally`` blocks where applicable as it is simpler and more
1235
robust. (Andrew Bennetts)
1237
* All except a small number of storage formats are now hidden, making
1238
the help for numerous commands far more digestible. (Ian Clatworthy)
1240
* Attempts to open a shared repository as a branch (e.g. ``bzr branch
1241
path/to/repo``) will now include "location is a repository" as a hint in
1242
the error message. (Brian de Alwis, Andrew Bennetts, #440952)
1244
* Push will now inform the user when they are trying to push to a foreign
1245
VCS for which roundtripping is not supported, and will suggest them to
1246
use dpush. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1248
* The version of bzr being run is now written to the log file.
1249
(__monty__, #257170)
1251
* Transport network activity indicator is shown more of the time when
1252
Bazaar is doing network IO.
1258
* Add documentation on creating merges with more than one parent.
1259
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #481526)
1261
* Better explain the --uncommitted option of merge.
1262
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #505088)
1264
* Improve discussion of pending merges in the documentation for
1265
``revert``. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #505093)
1267
* Improved help for ``bzr send``.
1268
(Martin Pool, Bojan Nikolic)
1270
* There is a System Administrator's Guide in ``doc/en/admin-guide``,
1271
including discussions of installation, relevant plugins, security and
1272
backup. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1274
* The ``conflicts`` help topic has been renamed to ``conflict-types``.
1277
* The User Reference is now presented as a series of topics.
1278
Many of the included topics have link and format tweaks applied.
1284
* Added ``cachedproperty`` decorator to ``bzrlib.decorators``.
1287
* Many test features were renamed from ``FooFeature`` to ``foo_feature``
1288
to be consistent with instances being lower case and classes being
1289
CamelCase. For the features that were more likely to be used, we added a
1290
deprecation thunk, but not all. (John Arbash Meinel)
1292
* Merger classes (such as ``Merge3Merger``) now expect a ``this_branch``
1293
parameter in their constructors, and provide ``this_branch`` as an
1294
attribute. (Andrew Bennetts)
1296
* The Branch hooks pre_change_branch_tip no longer masks exceptions raised
1297
by plugins - the original exceptions are now preserved. (Robert Collins)
1299
* The Transport ``Server.tearDown`` method is now renamed to
1300
``stop_server`` and ``setUp`` to ``start_server`` for consistency with
1301
our normal naming pattern, and to avoid confusion with Python's
1302
``TestCase.tearDown``. (Martin Pool)
1304
* ``WorkingTree.update`` implementations must now accept a ``revision``
1310
* Added ``BzrDir.open_branchV3`` smart server request, which can receive
1311
a string of details (such as "location is a repository") as part of a
1312
``nobranch`` response. (Andrew Bennetts, #440952)
1314
* New helper osutils.UnicodeOrBytesToBytesWriter which encodes unicode
1315
objects but passes str objects straight through. This is used for
1316
selftest but may be useful for diff and other operations that generate
1317
mixed output. (Robert Collins)
1319
* New exception ``NoRoundtrippingSupport``, for use by foreign branch
1320
plugins. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1325
* ``bzrlib.tests.permute_for_extension`` is a helper that simplifies
1326
running all tests in the current module, once against a pure python
1327
implementation, and once against an extension (pyrex/C) implementation.
1328
It can be used to dramatically simplify the implementation of
1329
``load_tests``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1331
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now subclasses ``testtools.testcase.TestCase``.
1332
This permits features in testtools such as getUniqueInteger and
1333
getUniqueString to be used. Because of this, testtools version 0.9.2 or
1334
newer is now a dependency to run bzr selftest. Running with versions of
1335
testtools less than 0.9.2 will cause bzr to error while loading the test
1336
suite. (Robert Collins)
1338
* Shell-like tests now support the command "mv" for moving files. The
1339
syntax for ``mv file1 file2``, ``mv dir1 dir2`` and ``mv file dir`` is
1340
supported. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1342
* The test progress bar no longer distinguishes tests that 'errored' from
1343
tests that 'failed' - they're all just failures.
1349
:2.0.6: NOT RELEASED YET
1354
* Additional merges after an unrelated branch has been merged with its
1355
history no longer crash when deleted files are involved.
1356
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel, #375898)
1358
* ``bzr revert`` now only takes write lock on working tree, instead of on
1359
both working tree and branch.
1360
(Danny van Heumen, #498409)
1362
* ``bzr upgrade`` now creates the ``backup.bzr`` directory with the same
1363
permissions as ``.bzr`` directory on a POSIX OS.
1364
(Parth Malwankar, #262450)
1366
* Raise ValueError instead of a string exception.
1367
(John Arbash Meinel, #586926)
1369
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
1370
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
1372
* Repositories accessed via a smart server now reject being stacked on a
1373
repository in an incompatible format, as is the case when accessing them
1374
via other methods. This was causing fetches from those repositories via
1375
a smart server (e.g. using ``bzr branch``) to receive invalid data.
1376
(Andrew Bennetts, #562380)
1378
* Selftest with versions of subunit that support ``stopTestRun`` will no longer
1379
error. This error was caused by 2.0 not being updated when upstream
1380
python merged the end of run patch, which chose ``stopTestRun`` rather than
1381
``done``. (Robert Collins, #571437)
1383
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
1384
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
1385
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.
1386
(John Arbash Meinel, #583486)
1394
This fifth release in our 2.0 series addresses several user-inconvenience
1395
bugs. None are critical, but upgrading is recommended for all users on
1396
earlier 2.0 releases.
1401
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
1402
(Martin Pool, #331095)
1404
* Concurrent autopacking is more resilient to already-renamed pack files.
1405
If we find that a file we are about to obsolete is already obsoleted, we
1406
do not try to rename it, and we leave the file in ``obsolete_packs``.
1407
The code is also fault tolerant if a file goes missing, assuming that
1408
another process already removed the file.
1409
(John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507557)
1411
* Cope with the lockdir ``held/info`` file being empty, which seems to
1412
happen fairly often if the process is suddenly interrupted while taking
1414
(Martin Pool, #185103)
1416
* Give the warning about potentially slow cross-format fetches much
1417
earlier on in the fetch operation. Don't show this message during
1418
upgrades, and show the correct format indication for remote
1420
(Martin Pool, #456077, #515356, #513157)
1422
* Handle renames correctly when there are files or directories that
1423
differ only in case. (Chris Jones, Martin Pool, #368931)
1425
* If ``bzr push --create-prefix`` triggers an unexpected ``NoSuchFile``
1426
error, report that error rather than failing with an unhelpful
1427
``UnboundLocalError``.
1428
(Andrew Bennetts, #423563)
1430
* Running ``bzr`` command without any arguments now shows bzr
1431
version number along with rest of the help text.
1432
(Parth Malwankar, #369501)
1434
* Use osutils.O_NOINHERIT for some files on win32 to avoid PermissionDenied
1436
(Inada Naoki, #524560)
1441
* Added ``location-alias`` help topic.
1442
(Andrew Bennetts, #337834)
1444
* Fixed CHM generation by moving the NEWS section template into
1445
a separate file. (Ian Clatworthy, #524184)
1451
:Codename: smooth sailing
1454
The fourth bugfix-only release in the 2.0 series contains more than a
1455
dozen bugfixes relative to 2.0.3. The primary focus is on handling
1456
interruptions and concurrent operations more cleanly, there is also a fair
1457
improvement to ``bzr export`` when exporting a remote branch.
1463
* ``bzr annotate`` on another branch with ``-r branch:...`` no longer
1464
fails with an ``ObjectNotLocked`` error. (Andrew Bennetts, #496590)
1466
* ``bzr export dir`` now requests all file content as a record stream,
1467
rather than requsting the file content one file-at-a-time. This can make
1468
exporting over the network significantly faster (54min => 9min in one
1469
case). (John Arbash Meinel, #343218)
1471
* ``bzr serve`` no longer slowly leaks memory. The compiled
1472
``bzrlib.bencode.Encoder()`` class was using ``__del__`` to cleanup and
1473
free resources, and it should have been using ``__dealloc__``.
1474
This will likely have an impact on any other process that is serving for
1475
an extended period of time. (John Arbash Meinel, #494406)
1477
* Check for SIGINT (Ctrl-C) and other signals immediately if ``readdir``
1478
returns ``EINTR`` by calling ``PyErr_CheckSignals``. This affected the
1479
optional ``_readdir_pyx`` extension. (Andrew Bennetts, #495023)
1481
* Concurrent autopacks will no longer lose a newly created pack file.
1482
There was a race condition, where if the reload happened at the right
1483
time, the second packer would forget the name of the newly added pack
1484
file. (John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507566)
1486
* Give a clearer message if the lockdir disappears after being apparently
1487
successfully taken. (Martin Pool, #498378)
1489
* Give a warning when fetching between repositories (local or remote) with
1490
sufficiently different formats that the content will need to be
1491
serialized (ie ``InterDifferingSerializer`` or ``inventory-deltas``), so
1492
the user has a clue that upgrading could make it faster.
1493
(Martin Pool, #456077)
1495
* If we fail to open ``~/.bzr.log`` write a clear message to stderr rather
1496
than using ``warning()``. The log file is opened before logging is set
1497
up, and it leads to very confusing: 'no handlers for "bzr"' messages for
1498
users, rather than something nicer.
1499
(John Arbash Meinel, Barry Warsaw, #503886)
1501
* Refuse to build with any Pyrex 0.9.4 release, as they have known bugs.
1502
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel, #449372)
1504
* ``setup.py bdist_rpm`` now properly finds extra files needed for the
1505
build. (there is still the distutils bug
1506
http://bugs.python.org/issue644744) (Joe Julian, #175839)
1508
* The 2a format wasn't properly restarting autopacks when something
1509
changed underneath it (like another autopack). Now concurrent
1510
autopackers will properly succeed. (John Arbash Meinel, #495000)
1512
* ``TreeTransform`` can now handle when a delta says that the file id for
1513
the tree root changes. Rather than trying to rename your working
1514
directory, or failing early saying that you can't have multiple
1515
tree roots. This also fixes revert, update, and pull when the root id
1516
changes. (John Arbash Meinel, #494269, #504390)
1518
* ``_update_current_block`` no longer suppresses exceptions, so ^C at just
1519
the right time will get propagated, rather than silently failing to move
1520
the block pointer. (John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #495023)
1525
* We have a new ``test_source`` that ensures all pyrex ``cdef`` functions
1526
handle exceptions somehow. (Possibly by setting ``# cannot_raise``
1527
rather than an ``except ?:`` clause.) This should help prevent bugs like
1528
bug #495023. (John Arbash Meinel)

:2.1.0b4: 2009-12-14
1537
The fourth beta release in the 2.1 series brings with it a significant
1538
number of bugfixes (~20). The test suite is once again (finally) "green"
1539
on Windows, and should remain that way for future releases. There are a
1540
few performance related updates (faster upgrade and log), and several UI
1541
tweaks. There has also been a significant number of tweaks to the runtime
1542
documentation. 2.1.0b4 include everything from the 2.0.3 release.
1545
Compatibility Breaks
1546
********************
1548
* The BZR_SSH environmental variable may now be set to the path of a secure
1549
shell client. If currently set to the value ``ssh`` it will now guess the
1550
vendor of the program with that name, to restore the old behaviour that
1551
indicated the SSH Corporation client use ``sshcorp`` instead as the magic
1552
string. (Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #176292)
1557
* ``bzr commit`` now has a ``--commit-time`` option.
1558
(Alexander Sack, #459276)
1560
* ``-Dhpss`` now increases logging done when run on the bzr server,
1561
similarly to how it works on the client. (John Arbash Meinel)
1563
* New option ``bzr unshelve --keep`` applies the changes and leaves them
1564
on the shelf. (Martin Pool, Oscar Fuentes, #492091)
1566
* The ``BZR_COLUMNS`` envrionment variable can be set to force bzr to
1567
respect a given terminal width. This can be useful when output is
1568
redirected or in obscure cases where the default value is not
1569
appropriate. Pagers can use it to get a better control of the line
1573
* The new command ``bzr lp-mirror`` will request that Launchpad update its
1574
mirror of a local branch. This command will only function if launchpadlib
1582
* After renaming a file, the dirstate could accidentally reference
1583
``source\\path`` rather than ``source/path`` on Windows. This might be a
1584
source of some dirstate-related failures. (John Arbash Meinel)
1586
* ``bzr commit`` now detects commit messages that looks like file names
1587
and issues a warning.
1588
(Gioele Barabucci, #73073)
1590
* ``bzr ignore /`` no longer causes an IndexError. (Gorden Tyler, #456036)
1592
* ``bzr log -n0 -rN`` should not return revisions beyond its merged revisions.
1593
(#325618, #484109, Marius Kruger)
1595
* ``bzr merge --weave`` and ``--lca`` will now create ``.BASE`` files for
1596
files with conflicts (similar to ``--merge3``). The contents of the file
1597
is a synthesis of all bases used for the merge.
1598
(John Arbash Meinel, #40412)
1600
* ``bzr mv --quiet`` really is quiet now. (Gordon Tyler, #271790)
1602
* ``bzr serve`` is more clear about the risk of supplying --allow-writes.
1603
(Robert Collins, #84659)
1605
* ``bzr serve --quiet`` really is quiet now. (Gordon Tyler, #252834)
1607
* Fix bug with redirected URLs over authenticated HTTP.
1608
(Glen Mailer, Neil Martinsen-Burrell, Vincent Ladeuil, #395714)
1610
* Interactive merge doesn't leave branch locks behind. (Aaron Bentley)
1612
* Lots of bugfixes for the test suite on Windows. We should once again
1613
have a test suite with no failures on Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
1615
* ``osutils.terminal_width()`` obeys the BZR_COLUMNS environment
1616
variable but returns None if the terminal is not a tty (when output is
1617
redirected for example). Also fixes its usage under OSes that doesn't
1618
provide termios.TIOCGWINSZ. Make sure the corresponding tests runs on
1620
(Joke de Buhr, Vincent Ladeuil, #353370, #62539)
1621
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #492561)
1623
* Terminate ssh subprocesses when no references to them remain, fixing
1624
subprocess and file descriptor leaks. (Andrew Bennetts, #426662)
1626
* The ``--hardlink`` option of ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr checkout`` now
1627
works for 2a format trees. Only files unaffected by content filters
1628
will be hardlinked. (Andrew Bennetts, #408193)
1630
* The new glob expansion on Windows would replace all ``\`` characters
1631
with ``/`` even if it there wasn't a glob to expand, the arg was quoted,
1632
etc. Now only change slashes if there is something being glob expanded.
1633
(John Arbash Meinel, #485771)
1635
* Use our faster ``KnownGraph.heads()`` functionality when computing the
1636
new rich-root heads. This can cut a conversion time in half (mysql from
1637
13.5h => 6.2h) (John Arbash Meinel, #487632)
1639
* When launching a external diff tool via bzr diff --using, temporary files
1640
are no longer created, rather, the path to the file in the working tree is
1641
passed to the external diff tool. This allows the file to be edited if the
1642
diff tool provides for this. (Gary van der Merwe, #490738)
1644
* The launchpad-open command can now be used from a subdirectory of a
1645
branch, not just from the root of the branch.
1646
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #489102)
1652
* ``bzr log`` is now faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
1654
* ``bzr update`` provides feedback on which branch it is up to date with.
1655
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1657
* ``bzr upgrade`` from pre-2a to 2a can be significantly faster (4x).
1658
For details see the xml8 patch and heads() improvements.
1659
(John Arbash Meinel)
1661
* ``bzrlib.urlutils.local_path_from_url`` now accepts
1662
'file://localhost/' as well as 'file:///' URLs on POSIX. (Michael
1665
* The progress bar now shows only a spinner and per-operation counts,
1666
not an overall progress bar. The previous bar was often not correlated
1667
with real overall operation progress, either because the operations take
1668
nonlinear time, or because at the start of the operation Bazaar couldn't
1669
estimate how much work there was to do. (Martin Pool)
1674
* Lots of documentation tweaks for inline help topics and command help
1680
* ``bzrlib.textui`` (vestigial module) removed. (Martin Pool)
1682
* The Launchpad plugin now has a function ``login`` which will log in to
1683
Launchpad with launchpadlib, and ``load_branch`` which will return the
1684
Launchpad Branch object corresponding to a given Bazaar Branch object.
1690
* New test Feature: ``ModuleAvailableFeature``. It is designed to make it
1691
easier to handle what tests you want to run based on what modules can be
1692
imported. (Rather than lots of custom-implemented features that were
1693
basically copy-and-pasted.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1695
* ``osutils.timer_func()`` can be used to get either ``time.time()`` or
1696
``time.clock()`` when you want to do performance timing.
1697
``time.time()`` is limited to 15ms resolution on Windows, but
1698
``time.clock()`` gives CPU and not wall-clock time on other platforms.
1699
(John Arbash Meinel)
1701
* Several code paths that were calling ``Transport.get().read()`` have
1702
been changed to the equalivent ``Transport.get_bytes()``. The main
1703
difference is that the latter will explicitly call ``file.close()``,
1704
rather than expecting the garbage collector to handle it. This helps
1705
with some race conditions on Windows during the test suite and sftp
1706
tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
1711
* TestCaseWithMemoryTransport no longer sets $HOME and $BZR_HOME to
1712
unicode strings. (Michael Hudson, #464174)
1718
:Codename: little italy
1722
The third stable release of Bazaar has a small handful of bugfixes. As
1723
expected, this has no internal or external compatibility changes versus
1729
* ``bzr push --use-existing-dir`` no longer crashes if the directory
1730
exists but contains an invalid ``.bzr`` directory.
1731
(Andrew Bennetts, #423563)
1733
* Content filters are now applied correctly after pull, merge and switch.
1734
(Ian Clatworthy, #385879)
1736
* Fix a potential segfault in the groupcompress hash map handling code.
1737
When inserting new entries, if the final hash bucket was empty, we could
1738
end up trying to access if ``(last_entry+1)->ptr == NULL``.
1739
(John Arbash Meinel, #490228)
1741
* Improve "Binary files differ" hunk handling. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)
1747
:Codename: after sprint recovery
1748
:2.1.0b3: 2009-11-16
1750
This release was pushed up from its normal release cycle due to a
1751
regression in python 2.4 compatibility in 2.1.0b2. Since this regression
1752
was caught before 2.1.0b2 was officially announced, the full changelog
1753
includes both 2.1.0b3 and 2.1.0b2 changes.
1755
Highlights of 2.1.0b3 are: new globbing code for all commands on Windows,
1756
the test suite now conforms to python's trunk enhanced semantics (skip,
1757
etc.), and ``bzr info -v`` will now report the correct branch and repo
1758
formats for Remote objects.
1764
* Users can define a shelve editor to provide shelf functionality at a
1765
granularity finer than per-patch-hunk. (Aaron Bentley)
1770
* Fix for shell completion and short options. (Benoît PIERRE)
1772
* Fix ``bzr --profile-imports`` with Python 2.6. (Martin Pool)
1774
* Hooks daughter classes should always call the base constructor.
1775
(Alexander Belchenko, Vincent Ladeuil, #389648)
1777
* Improve "Binary files differ" hunk handling. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)
1779
* On Windows, do glob expansion at the command-line level (as is usually
1780
done in bash, etc.) This means that *all* commands get glob expansion
1781
(bzr status, bzr add, bzr mv, etc). It uses a custom command line
1782
parser, which allows us to know if a given section was quoted. It means
1783
you can now do ``bzr ignore "*.py"``.
1784
(John Arbash Meinel, #425510, #426410, #194450)
1786
* Sanitize commit messages that come in from the '-m' flag. We translate
1787
'\r\n' => '\n' and a plain '\r' => '\n'. The storage layer doesn't
1788
allow those because XML store silently translate it anyway. (The parser
1789
auto-translates \r\n => \n in ways that are hard for us to catch.)
1791
* Show correct branch and repository format descriptions in
1792
``bzr info -v`` on a smart server location. (Andrew Bennetts, #196080)
1794
* The fix for bug #186920 accidentally broke compatibility with python
1795
2.4. (Vincent Ladeuil, #475585)
1797
* Using ``Repository.get_commit_builder().record_iter_changes()`` now
1798
correctly sets ``self.inv_sha1`` to a sha1 string and
1799
``self.new_inventory`` to an Inventory instance after calling
1800
``self.finish_inventory()``. (Previously it accidently set both values
1801
as a tuple on ``self.inv_sha1``. This was missed because
1802
``repo.add_revision`` ignores the supplied inventory sha1 and recomputes
1803
the sha1 from the repo directly. (John Arbash Meinel)
1805
* Shelve command refuse to run if there is no real terminal.
1806
(Alexander Belchenko)
1808
* Avoid unnecessarily flushing of trace file; it's now unbuffered at the
1809
Python level. (Martin Pool)
1814
* Include Japanese translations for documentation (Inada Naoki)
1816
* New API ``ui_factory.make_output_stream`` to be used for sending bulk
1817
(rather than user-interaction) data to stdout. This automatically
1818
coordinates with progress bars or other terminal activity, and can be
1820
(Martin Pool, 493944)
1825
* Some of the core groupcompress functionality now releases the GIL before
1826
operation. Similar to how zlib and bz2 operate without the GIL in the
1827
core compression and decompression routines. (John Arbash Meinel)
1832
* -Dhpssvfs will now trigger on ``RemoteBzrDir._ensure_real``, providing
1833
more debugging of VFS access triggers. (Robert Collins)
1835
* KnownFailure is now signalled to ``ExtendedTestResult`` using the same
1836
method that Python 2.7 uses - ``addExpectedFailure``. (Robert Collins)
1838
* ``--parallel=fork`` is now compatible with --subunit.
1839
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #419776)
1841
* Reporting of failures shows test ids not descriptions and thus shows
1842
parameterised tests correctly. (Robert Collins)
1844
* TestNotApplicable is now handled within the TestCase.run method rather
1845
than being looked for within ``ExtendedTestResult.addError``. This
1846
provides better handling with other ``TestResult`` objects, degrading to
1847
sucess rather than error. (Robert Collins)
1849
* The private method ``_testConcluded`` on ``ExtendedTestResult`` has been
1850
removed - it was empty and unused. (Robert Collins)
1852
* UnavailableFeature is now handled within the TestCase.run method rather
1853
than being looked for within addError. If the Result object does not
1854
have an addNotSupported method, addSkip is attempted instead, and
1855
failing that addSuccess. (Robert Collins)
1857
* When a TestResult does not have an addSkip method, skipped tests are now
1858
reported as successful tests, rather than as errors. This change is
1859
to make it possible to get a clean test run with a less capable
1860
TestResult. (Robert Collins)
1867
:Codename: a load off my mind
1868
:2.1.0b2: 2009-11-02
1870
This is our second feature-filled release since 2.0, pushing us down the
1871
path to a 2.1.0. Once again, all bugfixes in 2.0.2 are present in 2.1.0b2.
1873
Key highlights in this release are: improved handling of
1874
failures-during-cleanup for commit, fixing a long-standing bug with
1875
``bzr+http`` and shared repositories, all ``lp:`` urls to be resolved
1876
behind proxies, and a new StaticTuple datatype, allowing us to reduce
1877
memory consumption (50%) and garbage collector overhead (40% faster) for
1880
* A new ``--concurrency`` option has been added as well as an associated
1881
BZR_CONCURRENCY environment variable to specify the number of
1882
processes that can be run concurrently when running ``bzr selftest``. The
1883
command-line option overrides the environment variable if both are
1884
specified. If none is specified. the number of processes is obtained
1885
from the OS as before. (Matt Nordhoff, Vincent Ladeuil)
1890
* ``bzr+http`` servers no longer give spurious jail break errors when
1891
serving branches inside a shared repository. (Andrew Bennetts, #348308)
1893
* Errors during commit are handled more robustly so that knock-on errors
1894
are less likely to occur, and will not obscure the original error if
1895
they do occur. This fixes some causes of ``TooManyConcurrentRequests``
1896
and similar errors. (Andrew Bennetts, #429747, #243391)
1898
* Launchpad urls can now be resolved from behind proxies.
1899
(Gordon Tyler, Vincent Ladeuil, #186920)
1901
* Reduce the strictness for StaticTuple, instead add a debug flag
1902
``-Dstatic_tuple`` which will change apis to be strict and raise errors.
1903
This way, most users won't see failures, but developers can improve
1904
internals. (John Arbash Meinel, #471193)
1906
* TreeTransform.adjust_path updates the limbo paths of descendants of adjusted
1907
files. (Aaron Bentley)
1909
* Unicode paths are now handled correctly and consistently by the smart
1910
server. (Andrew Bennetts, Michael Hudson, #458762)
1915
* When reading index files, we now use a ``StaticTuple`` rather than a
1916
plain ``tuple`` object. This generally gives a 20% decrease in peak
1917
memory, and can give a performance boost up to 40% on large projects.
1918
(John Arbash Meinel)
1920
* Peak memory under certain operations has been reduced significantly.
1921
(eg, 'bzr branch launchpad standalone' is cut in half)
1922
(John Arbash Meinel)
1927
* Filtered views user documentation upgraded to refer to format 2a
1928
instead of pre-2.0 formats. (Ian Clatworthy)
1933
* Remove deprecated ``CLIUIFactory``. (Martin Pool)
1935
* ``UIFactory`` now has new ``show_error``, ``show_message`` and
1936
``show_warning`` methods, which can be hooked by non-text UIs.
1942
* Added ``bzrlib._simple_set_pyx``. This is a hybrid between a Set and a
1943
Dict (it only holds keys, but you can lookup the object located at a
1944
given key). It has significantly reduced memory consumption versus the
1945
builtin objects (1/2 the size of Set, 1/3rd the size of Dict). This is
1946
used as the interning structure for StaticTuple objects.
1947
(John Arbash Meinel)
1949
* ``bzrlib._static_tuple_c.StaticTuple`` is now available and used by
1950
the btree index parser and the chk map parser. This class functions
1951
similarly to ``tuple`` objects. However, it can only point to a limited
1952
collection of types. (Currently StaticTuple, str, unicode, None, bool,
1953
int, long, float, but not subclasses). This allows us to remove it from
1954
the garbage collector (it cannot be in a cycle), it also allows us to
1955
intern the objects. In testing, this can reduce peak memory by 20-40%,
1956
and significantly improve performance by removing objects from being
1957
inspected by the garbage collector. (John Arbash Meinel)
1959
* ``GroupCompressBlock._ensure_content()`` will now release the
1960
``zlib.decompressobj()`` when the first request is for all of the
1961
content. (Previously it would only be released if you made a request for
1962
part of the content, and then all of it later.) This turns out to be a
1963
significant memory savings, as a ``zstream`` carries around approx 260kB
1964
of internal state and buffers. (For branching bzr.dev this drops peak
1965
memory from 382MB => 345MB.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1967
* When streaming content between ``2a`` format repositories, we now clear
1968
caches from earlier versioned files. (So 'revisions' is cleared when we
1969
start reading 'inventories', etc.) This can have a significant impact on
1970
peak memory for initial copies (~200MB). (John Arbash Meinel)
1976
:Codename: after the scare
1979
The second in our "let's keep the stable bugfixes flowing" series. As
1980
expected this has a few (~9) bugfixes relative to 2.0.1, and no major api
1981
changes or features.
1986
* Avoid "NoneType has no attribute st_mode" error when files disappear
1987
from a directory while it's being read. (Martin Pool, #446033)
1989
* Content filters are now applied correctly after revert.
1992
* Diff parsing handles "Binary files differ" hunks. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)
1994
* Fetching from stacked pre-2a repository via a smart server no longer
1995
fails intermittently with "second push failed to complete".
1996
(Andrew Bennetts, #437626)
1998
* Fix typos left after test_selftest refactoring.
1999
(Vincent Ladeuil, Matt Nordhoff, #461149)
2001
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors during ``bzr log -r NNN somefile``.
2002
(Andrew Bennetts, #445171)
2004
* PreviewTree file names are not limited by the encoding of the temp
2005
directory's filesystem. (Aaron Bentley, #436794)
2010
* ``bzr log`` now read-locks branches exactly once, so makes better use of
2011
data caches. (Andrew Bennetts)
2016
* Filtered views user documentation upgraded to refer to format 2a
2017
instead of pre-2.0 formats. (Ian Clatworthy)
2023
:Codename: While the cat is away
2024
:2.1.0b1: 2009-10-14
2026
This is the first development release in the new split "stable" and
2027
"development" series. As such, the release is a snapshot of bzr.dev
2028
without creating a release candidate first. This release includes a
2029
fair amount of internal changes, with deprecated code being removed,
2030
and several new feature developments. People looking for a stable code
2031
base with only bugfixes should focus on the 2.0.1 release. All bugfixes
2032
present in 2.0.1 are present in 2.1.0b1.
2034
Highlights include support for ``bzr+ssh://host/~/homedir`` style urls,
2035
finer control over the plugin search path via extended BZR_PLUGIN_PATH
2036
syntax, visible warnings when extension modules fail to load, and improved
2037
error handling during unlocking.
2043
* Bazaar can now send mail through Apple OS X Mail.app.
2046
* ``bzr+ssh`` and ``bzr`` paths can now be relative to home directories
2047
specified in the URL. Paths starting with a path segment of ``~`` are
2048
relative to the home directory of the user running the server, and paths
2049
starting with ``~user`` are relative to the home directory of the named
2050
user. For example, for a user "bob" with a home directory of
2051
``/home/bob``, these URLs are all equivalent:
2053
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/~/repo``
2054
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/~bob/repo``
2055
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/home/bob/repo``
2057
If ``bzr serve`` was invoked with a ``--directory`` argument, then no
2058
home directories outside that directory will be accessible via this
2061
This is a feature of ``bzr serve``, so pre-2.1 clients will
2062
automatically benefit from this feature when ``bzr`` on the server is
2063
upgraded. (Andrew Bennetts, #109143)
2065
* Extensions can now be compiled if either Cython or Pyrex is available.
2066
Currently Pyrex is preferred, but that may change in the future.
2069
* Give more control on BZR_PLUGIN_PATH by providing a way to refer to or
2070
disable the user, site and core plugin directories.
2071
(Vincent Ladeuil, #412930, #316192, #145612)
2076
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
2077
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
2078
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
2079
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
2080
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
2081
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
2082
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
2084
* ``bzr add`` in a tree that has files with ``\r`` or ``\n`` in the
2085
filename will issue a warning and skip over those files.
2086
(Robert Collins, #3918)
2088
* ``bzr dpush`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
2089
are present in the working tree. The configuration option ``dpush_strict``
2090
can be used to set the default for this behavior.
2091
(Vincent Ladeuil, #438158)
2093
* ``bzr merge`` and ``bzr remove-tree`` now requires --force if pending
2094
merges are present in the working tree.
2095
(Vincent Ladeuil, #426344)
2097
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
2098
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
2100
* Don't give a warning on Windows when failing to import ``_readdir_pyx``
2101
as it is never built. (John Arbash Meinel, #430645)
2103
* Don't restrict the command name used to run the test suite.
2104
(Vincent Ladeuil, #419950)
2106
* ftp transports were built differently when the kerberos python module was
2107
present leading to obscure failures related to ASCII/BINARY modes.
2108
(Vincent Ladeuil, #443041)
2110
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
2111
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
2113
* PreviewTree behaves correctly when get_file_mtime is invoked on an unmodified
2114
file. (Aaron Bentley, #251532)
2116
* Registry objects should not use iteritems() when asked to use items().
2117
(Vincent Ladeuil, #430510)
2119
* Weave based repositories couldn't be cloned when committers were using
2120
domains or user ids embedding '.sig'. Now they can.
2121
(Matthew Fuller, Vincent Ladeuil, #430868)
2126
* Revision specifiers can now be given in a more DWIM form, without
2127
needing explicit prefixes for specifiers like tags or revision id's.
2128
See ``bzr help revisionspec`` for full details. (Matthew Fuller)
2130
* Bazaar gives a warning before exiting, and writes into ``.bzr.log``, if
2131
compiled extensions can't be loaded. This typically indicates a
2132
packaging or installation problem. In this case Bazaar will keep
2133
running using pure-Python versions, but this may be substantially
2134
slower. The warning can be disabled by setting
2135
``ignore_missing_extensions = True`` in ``bazaar.conf``.
2136
See also <https://answers.launchpad.net/bzr/+faq/703>.
2137
(Martin Pool, #406113, #430529)
2139
* Secondary errors that occur during Branch.unlock and Repository.unlock
2140
no longer obscure the original error. These methods now use a new
2141
decorator, ``only_raises``. This fixes many causes of
2142
``TooManyConcurrentRequests`` and similar errors.
2143
(Andrew Bennetts, #429747)
2148
* Describe the new shell-like test feature. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2150
* Help on hooks no longer says 'Not deprecated' for hooks that are
2151
currently supported. (Ian Clatworthy, #422415)
2156
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` has been removed; use
2157
``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding`` instead. (Martin Pool)
2159
* ``bzrlib.tests`` now uses ``stopTestRun`` for its ``TestResult``
2160
subclasses - the same as python's unittest module. (Robert Collins)
2162
* ``diff._get_trees_to_diff`` has been renamed to
2163
``diff.get_trees_and_branches_to_diff``. It is now a public API, and it
2164
returns the old and new branches. (Gary van der Merwe)
2166
* ``bzrlib.trace.log_error``, ``error`` and ``info`` have been deprecated.
2169
* ``MutableTree.has_changes()`` does not require a tree parameter anymore. It
2170
now defaults to comparing to the basis tree. It now checks for pending
2171
merges too. ``Merger.check_basis`` has been deprecated and replaced by the
2172
corresponding has_changes() calls. ``Merge.compare_basis``,
2173
``Merger.file_revisions`` and ``Merger.ensure_revision_trees`` have also
2175
(Vincent Ladeuil, #440631)
2177
* ``ProgressTask.note`` is deprecated.
2183
* Added ``-Drelock`` debug flag. It will ``note`` a message every time a
2184
repository or branch object is unlocked then relocked the same way.
2187
* ``BTreeLeafParser.extract_key`` has been tweaked slightly to reduce
2188
mallocs while parsing the index (approx 3=>1 mallocs per key read).
2189
This results in a 10% speedup while reading an index.
2190
(John Arbash Meinel)
2192
* The ``bzrlib.lsprof`` module has a new class ``BzrProfiler`` which makes
2193
profiling in some situations like callbacks and generators easier.
2199
* Passing ``--lsprof-tests -v`` to bzr selftest will cause lsprof output to
2200
be output for every test. Note that this is very verbose! (Robert Collins)
2202
* Setting ``BZR_TEST_PDB=1`` when running selftest will cause a pdb
2203
post_mortem to be triggered when a test failure occurs. (Robert Collins)
2205
* Shell-like tests can now be written. Code in ``bzrlib/tests/script.py`` ,
2206
documentation in ``developers/testing.txt`` for details.
2209
* Some tests could end up with the same id, that was dormant for
2211
(Vincent Ladeuil, #442980)
2213
* Stop showing the number of tests due to missing features in the test
2214
progress bar. (Martin Pool)
2216
* Test parameterisation now does a shallow copy, not a deep copy of the test
2217
to be parameterised. This is not expected to break external use of test
2218
parameterisation, and is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
2220
* Tests that try to open a bzr dir on an arbitrary transport will now
2221
fail unless they have explicitly permitted the transport via
2222
``self.permit_url``. The standard test factories such as ``self.get_url``
2223
will permit the urls they provide automatically, so only exceptional
2224
tests should need to do this. (Robert Collins)
2226
* The break-in test no longer cares about clean shutdown of the child,
2227
instead it is happy if the debugger starts up. (Robert Collins)
2229
* The full test suite is expected to pass when the C extensions are not
2230
present. (Vincent Ladeuil, #430749)
2236
:Codename: Stability First
2239
The first of our new ongoing bugfix-only stable releases has arrived. It
2240
includes a collection of 12 bugfixes applied to bzr 2.0.0, but does not
2241
include any of the feature development in the 2.1.0 series.
2247
* ``bzr add`` in a tree that has files with ``\r`` or ``\n`` in the
2248
filename will issue a warning and skip over those files.
2249
(Robert Collins, #3918)
2251
* bzr will attempt to authenticate with SSH servers that support
2252
``keyboard-interactive`` auth but not ``password`` auth when using
2253
Paramiko. (Andrew Bennetts, #433846)
2255
* Fixed fetches from a stacked branch on a smart server that were failing
2256
with some combinations of remote and local formats. This was causing
2257
"unknown object type identifier 60" errors. (Andrew Bennetts, #427736)
2259
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when doing some log and diff operations
2260
on branches via a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #389413)
2262
* Handle things like ``bzr add foo`` and ``bzr rm foo`` when the tree is
2263
at the root of a drive. ``osutils._cicp_canonical_relpath`` always
2264
assumed that ``abspath()`` returned a path that did not have a trailing
2265
``/``, but that is not true when working at the root of the filesystem.
2266
(John Arbash Meinel, Jason Spashett, #322807)
2268
* Hide deprecation warnings for 'final' releases for python2.6.
2269
(John Arbash Meinel, #440062)
2271
* Improve the time for ``bzr log DIR`` for 2a format repositories.
2272
We had been using the same code path as for <2a formats, which required
2273
iterating over all objects in all revisions.
2274
(John Arbash Meinel, #374730)
2276
* Make sure that we unlock the tree if we fail to create a TreeTransform
2277
object when doing a merge, and there is limbo, or pending-deletions
2278
directory. (Gary van der Merwe, #427773)
2280
* Occasional IndexError on renamed files have been fixed. Operations that
2281
set a full inventory in the working tree will now go via the
2282
apply_inventory_delta code path which is simpler and easier to
2283
understand than dirstates set_state_from_inventory method. This may
2284
have a small performance impact on operations built on _write_inventory,
2285
but such operations are already doing full tree scans, so no radical
2286
performance change should be observed. (Robert Collins, #403322)
2288
* Retrieving file text or mtime from a _PreviewTree has good performance when
2289
there are many changes. (Aaron Bentley)
2291
* The CHK index pages now use an unlimited cache size. With a limited
2292
cache and a large project, the random access of chk pages could cause us
2293
to download the entire cix file many times.
2294
(John Arbash Meinel, #402623)
2296
* When a file kind becomes unversionable after being added, a sensible
2297
error will be shown instead of a traceback. (Robert Collins, #438569)
2302
* Improved README. (Ian Clatworthy)
2304
* Improved upgrade documentation for Launchpad branches.
2312
:Codename: Instant Karma
2314
This release of Bazaar makes the 2a (previously 'brisbane-core') format
2315
the default when new branches or repositories are created. This format is
2316
substantially smaller and faster for many operations. Most of the work in
2317
this release focuses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a and
2318
previous formats. (See the Upgrade Guide for information on migrating
2321
This release also improves the documentation content and presentation,
2322
including adding Windows HtmlHelp manuals.
2324
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
2325
with bugfix-only 2.0.x releases based on it, continuing for at least six
2326
months or until the following stable release.
2328
Changes from 2.0.0rc2 to final
2329
******************************
2331
* Officially branded as 2.0.0 rather than 2.0 to clarify between things
2332
that "want to happen on the 2.0.x stable series" versus things that want
2333
to "land in 2.0.0". (Changes how bzrlib._format_version_tuple() handles
2334
micro = 0.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2340
:2.0.0rc2: 2009-09-10
2345
* Added post_commit hook for mutable trees. This allows the keywords
2346
plugin to expand keywords on files changed by the commit.
2347
(Ian Clatworthy, #408841)
2352
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
2353
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
2354
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
2355
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
2356
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
2357
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
2358
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
2360
* ``bzr check`` in pack-0.92, 1.6 and 1.9 format repositories will no
2361
longer report incorrect errors about ``Missing inventory ('TREE_ROOT', ...)``
2362
(Robert Collins, #416732)
2364
* ``bzr info -v`` on a 2a format still claimed that it was a "Development
2365
format" (John Arbash Meinel, #424392)
2367
* ``bzr log stacked-branch`` shows the full log including
2368
revisions that are in the fallback repository. (Regressed in 2.0rc1).
2369
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
2371
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
2372
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
2374
* Conversion to 2a will create a single pack for all the new revisions (as
2375
long as it ran without interruption). This improves both ``bzr upgrade``
2376
and ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from local branches in older formats.
2377
The autopack logic that occurs every 100 revisions during local
2378
conversions was not returning that pack's identifier, which resulted in
2379
the partial packs created during the conversion not being consolidated
2380
at the end of the conversion process. (Robert Collins, #423818)
2382
* Fetches from 2a to 2a are now again requested in 'groupcompress' order.
2383
Groups that are seen as 'underutilized' will be repacked on-the-fly.
2384
This means that when the source is fully packed, there is minimal
2385
overhead during the fetch, but if the source is poorly packed the result
2386
is a fairly well packed repository (not as good as 'bzr pack' but
2387
good-enough.) (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #402652)
2389
* Fix a potential segmentation fault when doing 'log' of a branch that had
2390
ghosts in its mainline. (Evaluating None as a tuple is bad.)
2391
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
2393
* ``groupcompress`` sort order is now more stable, rather than relying on
2394
``topo_sort`` ordering. The implementation is now
2395
``KnownGraph.gc_sort``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2397
* Local data conversion will generate correct deltas. This is a critical
2398
bugfix vs 2.0rc1, and all 2.0rc1 users should upgrade to 2.0rc2 before
2399
converting repositories. (Robert Collins, #422849)
2401
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
2402
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
2404
* Prevent some kinds of incomplete data from being committed to a 2a
2405
repository, such as revisions without inventories, a missing chk_bytes
2406
record for an inventory, or a missing text referenced by an inventory.
2407
(Andrew Bennetts, #423506, #406687)
2412
* Fix assertion error about "_remember_remote_is_before" when pushing to
2413
older smart servers.
2414
(Andrew Bennetts, #418931)
2416
* Help on hooks no longer says 'Not deprecated' for hooks that are
2417
currently supported. (Ian Clatworthy, #422415)
2419
* PDF and CHM (Windows HtmlHelp) formats are now supported for the
2420
user documentation. The HTML documentation is better broken up into
2421
topics. (Ian Clatworthy)
2423
* The developer and foreign language documents are now separated
2424
out so that searching in the HTML and CHM files produces more
2425
useful results. (Ian Clatworthy)
2427
* The main table of contents now provides links to the new Migration Docs
2428
and Plugins Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
2434
:Codename: no worries
2435
:2.0.0rc1: 2009-08-26
2437
Compatibility Breaks
2438
********************
2440
* The default format for bzr is now ``2a``. This format brings many
2441
significant performance and size improvements. bzr can pull from
2442
any existing repository into a ``2a`` one, but can only transfer
2443
from ``2a`` into ``rich-root`` repositories. The Upgrade guide
2444
has more information about this change. (Robert Collins)
2446
* On Windows auto-detection of Putty's plink.exe is disabled.
2447
Default SSH client for Windows is paramiko. User still can force
2448
usage of plink if explicitly set environment variable BZR_SSH=plink.
2449
(#414743, Alexander Belchenko)
2454
* ``bzr branch --switch`` can now switch the checkout in the current directory
2455
to the newly created branch. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2460
* Further tweaks to handling of ``bzr add`` messages about ignored files.
2461
(Jason Spashett, #76616)
2463
* Fetches were being requested in 'groupcompress' order, but weren't
2464
recombining the groups. Thus they would 'fragment' to get the correct
2465
order, but not 'recombine' to actually benefit from it. Until we get
2466
recombining to work, switching to 'unordered' fetches avoids the
2467
fragmentation. (John Arbash Meinel, #402645)
2469
* Fix a pycurl related test failure on karmic by recognizing an error
2470
raised by newer versions of pycurl.
2471
(Vincent Ladeuil, #306264)
2473
* Fix a test failure on karmic by making a locale test more robust.
2474
(Vincent Ladeuil, #413514)
2476
* Fix IndexError printing CannotBindAddress errors.
2477
(Martin Pool, #286871)
2479
* Fix "Revision ... not present" errors when upgrading stacked branches,
2480
or when doing fetches from a stacked source to a stacked target.
2481
(Andrew Bennetts, #399140)
2483
* ``bzr branch`` of 2a repositories over HTTP is much faster. bzr now
2484
batches together small fetches from 2a repositories, rather than
2485
fetching only a few hundred bytes at a time.
2486
(Andrew Bennetts, #402657)
2491
* A better description of the platform is shown in crash tracebacks, ``bzr
2492
--version`` and ``bzr selftest``.
2493
(Martin Pool, #409137)
2495
* bzr can now (again) capture crash data through the apport library,
2496
so that a single human-readable file can be attached to bug reports.
2497
This can be disabled by using ``-Dno_apport`` on the command line, or by
2498
putting ``no_apport`` into the ``debug_flags`` section of
2500
(Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #389328)
2502
* ``bzr push`` locally on windows will no longer give a locking error with
2503
dirstate based formats. (Robert Collins)
2505
* ``bzr shelve`` and ``bzr unshelve`` now work on windows.
2506
(Robert Collins, #305006)
2508
* Commit of specific files no longer prevents using the iter_changes
2509
codepath. On 2a repositories, commit of specific files should now be as
2510
fast, or slightly faster, than a full commit. (Robert Collins)
2512
* The internal core code that handles specific file operations like
2513
``bzr st FILENAME`` or ``bzr commit FILENAME`` has been changed to
2514
include the parent directories if they have altered, and when a
2515
directory stops being a directory its children are always included. This
2516
fixes a number of causes for ``InconsistentDelta`` errors, and permits
2517
faster commit of specific paths. (Robert Collins, #347649)
2522
* New developer documentation for content filtering.
2528
* ``bzrlib.shelf_ui`` has had the ``from_args`` convenience methods of its
2529
classes changed to manage lock lifetime of the trees they open in a way
2530
consistent with reader-exclusive locks. (Robert Collins, #305006)
2538
:Codename: nein nein nein!
2541
This release fixes two small but worthwhile bugs relevant to users on
2542
Microsoft Windows: some commands that failed on with locking errors will
2543
now work, and a bug that caused poor performance after committing a file
2544
with line-ending conversion has now been fixed. It also fixes a bug in
2545
pushing to older servers.
2550
* Fixed a problem where using content filtering and especially end-of-line
2551
conversion will commit too many copies a file.
2552
(Martin Pool, #415508)
2554
* Fix assertion error about ``_remember_remote_is_before`` in
2555
``set_tags_bytes`` when pushing to older smart servers.
2556
(Andrew Bennetts, Alexander Belchenko, #418931)
2561
* ``bzr push`` locally on Windows will no longer give a locking error with
2562
dirstate based formats. (Robert Collins)
2564
* ``bzr shelve`` and ``bzr unshelve`` now work on Windows.
2565
(Robert Collins, #305006)
2570
* ``bzrlib.shelf_ui`` has had the ``from_args`` convenience methods of its
2571
classes changed to manage lock lifetime of the trees they open in a way
2572
consistent with reader-exclusive locks. (Robert Collins, #305006)
2574
* ``Tree.path_content_summary`` may return a size of None, when called on
2575
a tree with content filtering where the size of the canonical form
2576
cannot be cheaply determined. (Martin Pool)
2578
* When manually creating transport servers in test cases, a new helper
2579
``TestCase.start_server`` that registers a cleanup and starts the server
2580
should be used. (Robert Collins)
2585
Compatibility Breaks
2586
********************
2588
* Committing directly to a stacked branch from a lightweight checkout will
2589
no longer work. In previous versions this would appear to work but would
2590
generate repositories with insufficient data to create deltas, leading
2591
to later errors when branching or reading from the repository.
2592
(Robert Collins, bug #375013)
2600
* Fetching from 2a branches from a version-2 bzr protocol would fail to
2601
copy the internal inventory pages from the CHK store. This cannot happen
2602
in normal use as all 2a compatible clients and servers support the
2603
version-3 protocol, but it does cause test suite failures when testing
2604
downlevel protocol behaviour. (Robert Collins)
2606
* Fix a test failure on karmic by making a locale test more robust.
2607
(Vincent Ladeuil, #413514)
2609
* Fixed "Pack ... already exists" error when running ``bzr pack`` on a
2610
fully packed 2a repository. (Andrew Bennetts, #382463)
2612
* Further tweaks to handling of ``bzr add`` messages about ignored files.
2613
(Jason Spashett, #76616)
2615
* Properly handle fetching into a stacked branch while converting the
2616
data, especially when there are also ghosts. The code was filling in
2617
parent inventories incorrectly, and also not handling when one of the
2618
parents was a ghost. (John Arbash Meinel, #402778, #412198)
2620
* ``RemoteStreamSource.get_stream_for_missing_keys`` will fetch CHK
2621
inventory pages when appropriate (by falling back to the vfs stream
2622
source). (Andrew Bennetts, #406686)
2624
* StreamSource generates rich roots from non-rich root sources correctly
2625
now. (Andrew Bennetts, #368921)
2627
* When deciding whether a repository was compatible for upgrading or
2628
fetching, we previously incorrectly checked the default repository
2629
format for the bzrdir format, rather than the format that was actually
2630
present on disk. (Martin Pool, #408824)
2635
* A better description of the platform is shown in crash tracebacks, ``bzr
2636
--version`` and ``bzr selftest``.
2637
(Martin Pool, #409137)
2639
* Cross-format fetches (such as between 1.9-rich-root and 2a) via the
2640
smart server are more efficient now. They send inventory deltas rather
2641
than full inventories. The smart server has two new requests,
2642
``Repository.get_stream_1.19`` and ``Repository.insert_stream_1.19`` to
2643
support this. (Andrew Bennetts, #374738, #385826)
2645
* Extracting the full ancestry and computing the ``merge_sort`` is now
2646
significantly faster. This effects things like ``bzr log -n0``. (For
2647
example, ``bzr log -r -10..-1 -n0 bzr.dev`` is 2.5s down to 1.0s.
2648
(John Arbash Meinel)
2659
* ``-Dstrict_locks`` can now be used to check that read and write locks
2660
are treated properly w.r.t. exclusivity. (We don't try to take an OS
2661
read lock on a file that we already have an OS write lock on.) This is
2662
now set by default for all tests, if you have a test which cannot be
2663
fixed, you can use ``self.thisFailsStrictLockCheck()`` as a
2664
compatibility knob. (John Arbash Meinel)
2666
* InterDifferingSerializer is now only used locally. Other fetches that
2667
would have used InterDifferingSerializer now use the more network
2668
friendly StreamSource, which now automatically does the same
2669
transformations as InterDifferingSerializer. (Andrew Bennetts)
2671
* ``KnownGraph`` now has a ``.topo_sort`` and ``.merge_sort`` member which
2672
are implemented in pyrex and significantly faster. This is exposed along
2673
with ``CombinedGraphIndex.find_ancestry()`` as
2674
``VersionedFiles.get_known_graph_ancestry(keys)``.
2675
(John Arbash Meinel)
2677
* RemoteBranch.open now honours ignore_fallbacks correctly on bzr-v2
2678
protocols. (Robert Collins)
2680
* The index code now has some specialized routines to extract the full
2681
ancestry of a key in a more efficient manner.
2682
``CombinedGraphIndex.find_ancestry()``. (Time to get ancestry for
2683
bzr.dev drops from 1.5s down to 300ms. For OOo from 33s => 10.5s) (John
2689
* Install the test ssl certificate and key so that installed bzr
2690
can run the https tests. (Denys Duchier, #392401)

2698
:1.18rc1: 2009-08-10
2700
This release of Bazaar marches on towards the 2.0 release in which the 2a
2701
'brisbane-core' format becomes generally recommended. Most of the work in
2702
this release now focusses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a
2703
and previous formats. There is a new text-mode interactive merge feature,
2704
a new guide to migration to 2a format in the user documentation, and
2705
pushing branches to a smart server is now much faster.
2707
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
2708
with bugfix-only releases based on it continuing for at least six months
2709
or until the following stable release.
2711
There are no changes from 1.18rc1 to 1.18.
2716
* ``bzr merge --interactive`` applies a user-selected portion of the
2717
merge. The UI is similar to ``shelve``. (Aaron Bentley)
2719
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now takes options ``--stacked-on URL`` and
2720
``--unstacked`` to change stacking of a branch.
2721
(Martin Pool, #391411)
2726
* Annotating on a stacked branch will now succeed in simple scenarios.
2727
There are still some complex scenarios where it will fail (bug #399884)
2728
(John Arbash Meinel, #393366)
2730
* A progress bar is no longer left dangling when ``bzr selftest``
2731
completes, and the progress bar updates with zero latency so the
2732
displayed test name is always the one that's actually running.
2733
(Martin Pool, #123688)
2735
* Authenticating against an ssh server now uses ``auth_none`` to determine
2736
if password authentication is even supported. This fixes a bug where
2737
users would be prompted for a launchpad password, even though launchpad
2738
only supports publickey authentication. (John Arbash Meinel, #375867)
2740
* BranchBuilder now accepts timezone to avoid test failures in countries far
2741
from GMT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #397716)
2743
* ``bzr commit`` no longer saves the unversioning of missing files until
2744
the commit has completed on the branch. This means that aborting a
2745
commit that found a missing file will leave the tree unedited.
2746
(Robert Collins, #282402)
2748
* ``bzr mv`` no longer takes out branch locks, which allows it to work
2749
when the branch is readonly. (Robert Collins, #216541)
2751
* ``bzr revert .`` no longer generates an InconsistentDelta error when
2752
there are missing subtrees. (Robert Collins, #367632)
2754
* ``bzr send`` now generates valid bundles with ``--2a`` formats. However,
2755
do to internal changes necessary to support this, older clients will
2756
fail when trying to insert them. For newer clients, the bundle can be
2757
used to apply the changes to any rich-root compatible format.
2758
(John Arbash Meinel, #393349)
2760
* Cope with FTP servers that don't support restart/append by falling back
2761
to reading and then rewriting the whole file, such as TahoeLAFS. (This
2762
fallback may be slow for some access patterns.) (Nils Durner, #294709)
2764
* Encode the paths in ``mbcs`` encoding on Windows when spawning an
2765
external diff client. This at least allows supporting filenames that are
2766
not ascii, but are present in the current locale. Ideally we would be
2767
able to pass the Unicode path, but that would be client dependent.
2768
(John Arbash Meinel, #382709)
2770
* Fix a compile bug on Solaris having to do with const and
2771
pointer-to-pointers. (John Arbash Meinel, #408441)
2773
* Fixed a NameError that occurs when merging or pulling from a URL that
2774
causes a redirection loop when bzr tries to read a URL as a bundle.
2775
(Andrew Bennetts, #400847)
2777
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'TestUIFactory' object has no attribute 'tick'``
2778
running send and similar commands on 2a formats.
2779
(Martin Pool, #408201)
2781
* Fix crash in some invocations of ``bzr status`` in format 2a.
2782
(Martin Pool, #403523)
2784
* Fixed export to existing directory: if directory is empty then export
2785
will succeed, otherwise it fails with error.
2786
(Alexander Belchenko, #406174)
2788
* Fixed spurious "Source branch does not support stacking" warning when
2789
pushing. (Andrew Bennetts, #388908)
2791
* Fixed spurious transport activity indicator appearing while tests are
2792
running. (Martin Pool, #343532)
2794
* Merge now correctly handles empty right-hand revision specs.
2795
(Aaron Bentley, #333961)
2797
* Renames to lexographically lower basenames in trees that have never been
2798
committed to will no longer corrupt the dirstate. This was caused by an
2799
bug in the dirstate update_minimal method. (Robert Collins, #395556)
2801
* Requests for unknown methods no longer cause the smart server to log
2802
lots of backtraces about ``UnknownSmartMethod``, ``do_chunk`` or
2803
``do_end``. (Andrew Bennetts, #338561)
2805
* Shelve will not shelve the initial add of the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
2807
* Streaming from bzr servers where there is a chain of stacked branches
2808
(A stacked on B stacked on C) will now work. (Robert Collins, #406597)
2810
* The environment variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` set to either ``text`` or ``none``
2811
always forces progress bars either on or off respectively. Otherwise,
2812
they're turned on if ``TERM`` is not ``dumb`` and stderr is a terminal.
2813
bzr always uses the 'text' user interface when run as a command, so
2814
``BZR_USE_TEXT_UI`` is no longer needed.
2815
(Martin Pool, #339385, #387717)
2817
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
2818
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
2819
repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)
2821
* The ``--hardlink`` option to ``branch`` and ``checkout`` is not
2822
supported at the moment on workingtree formats that can do content
2823
filtering. (See <https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/408193>.)
2824
bzr now says so, rather than just ignoring the option. (Martin Pool)
2826
* There was a bug in ``osutils.relpath`` that was only triggered on
2827
Windows. Essentially if you were at the root of a drive, and did
2828
something to a branch/repo on another drive, we would go into an
2829
infinite loop while trying to find a 'relative path'.
2830
(John Arbash Meinel, #394227)
2832
* ``WorkingTree4.unversion`` will no longer fail to unversion ids which
2833
were present in a parent tree but renamed in the working tree.
2834
(Robert Collins, #187207)
2839
* Can now rename/move files even if they have been removed from the inventory.
2842
* Pushing branches with tags via ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` is much
2843
faster, using a new ``Branch.set_tags_bytes`` smart server verb rather
2844
than VFS methods. For example, pushes of small branches with tags take
2845
11 rather than 18 smart server requests. (Andrew Bennetts, #398608)
2847
* Sending Ctrl-Break on Windows will now drop you into the debugger, in
2848
the same way that sending Ctrl-\\ does on other platforms.
2849
(John Arbash Meinel)
2854
* Added Bazaar 2.0 Upgrade Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
2859
* ``CLIUIFactory`` is deprecated; use ``TextUIFactory`` instead if you
2860
need to subclass or create a specific class, or better yet the existing
2861
``make_ui_for_terminal``. ``SilentUIFactory`` is clarified to do no
2862
user interaction at all, rather than trying to read from stdin but not
2863
writing any output, which would be strange if reading prompts or
2864
passwords. (Martin Pool)
2866
* New TransformPreview.commit() allows committing without a working tree.
2869
* ``pb`` parameter to ``TextTestResult`` is deprecated and ignored.
2872
* ProgressTasks now prefer to talk direct to their ProgressView not to the
2876
* ``WorkingTree._check`` now requires a references dict with keys matching
2877
those returned by ``WorkingTree._get_check_refs``. (Robert Collins)
2882
* ``CHKInventory.path2id`` uses the parent_id to basename hash to avoid
2883
reading the entries along the path, reducing work to lookup ids from
2884
paths. (Robert Collins)
2886
* ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` now raises ``InconsistentDelta`` if a delta adds
2887
as new a key which was already mapped. (Robert Collins)
2889
* Inventory delta application catches more cases of corruption and can
2890
prevent corrupt deltas from affecting consistency of data structures on
2891
disk. (Robert Collins)
2893
* --subunit support now adds timestamps if the subunit version supports
2894
it. (Robert Collins)
2896
* The Windows all-in-one installer now bundles the PyQt image format
2897
plugins, which allows previewing more images as part of 'qdiff'.
2898
(Alexander Belchenko)
2904
* Merge directive cherrypick tests must use the same root id.
2905
(Martin Pool, #409684)
2907
* Spurious failure in ``check`` tests on rich-root formats fixed.
2908
(Martin Pool, #408199)
2910
* The ``bzrlib.tests.TextTestRunner`` will no longer call
2911
``countTestsCases`` on the test being run. Progress information is
2912
instead handled by having the test passed in call ``result.progress``
2913
before running its contents. This improves the behaviour when using
2914
``TextTestRunner`` with test suites that don't support
2915
``countTestsCases``. (Robert Collins)

bzr 1.17.1 (unreleased)

#######################
2924
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
2925
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
2926
knit format repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)

:Codename: so-late-its-brunch
2932
:1.17rc1: 2009-07-13
2936
Bazaar continues to blaze a straight and shining path to the 2.0 release and
2937
the elevation of the ``2a`` beta format to the full glory of "supported and
2940
Highlights in this release include greatly reduced memory consumption during
2941
commits, faster ``ls``, faster ``annotate``, faster network operations if
2942
you're specifying a revision number and the final destruction of those
2943
annoying progress bar artifacts.
2946
Changes from 1.17rc1 to 1.17final
2947
*********************************
2949
* Change an extension to call the python ``frozenset()`` rather than the C
2950
api ``PyFrozenSet_New``. It turns out that python2.4 did not expose the
2951
C api. (John Arbash Meinel, #399366)
2953
* Fixes for the Makefile and the rename of ``generate_docs.py`` to
2954
``tools/generate_docs.py`` to allow everything to be built on Windows.
2955
(John Arbash Meinel, #399356)
2957
* ``bzr serve`` once again applies a ``ChrootServer`` to the given
2958
directory before serving it. (Andrew Bennetts, #400535)
2961
Compatibility Breaks
2962
********************
2964
* ``bzr register-branch`` from the Launchpad plugin now refers to "project"
2965
instead of "product" which is the correct Launchpad terminology. The
2966
--product option is deprecated and users should switch to using --project.
2967
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #238764)
2973
* ``bzr push`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
2974
are present in the working tree (if one is present) and no revision is
2975
specified. The configuration option ``push_strict`` can be used to set the
2976
default for this behavior. (Vincent Ladeuil, #284038, #322808, #65286)
2978
* ``bzr revno`` and ``bzr revision-info`` now have a ``--tree`` option to
2979
show revision info for the working tree instead of the branch.
2980
(Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
2982
* ``bzr send`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
2983
are present in the working tree and no revision is specified. The
2984
configuration option ``send_strict`` can be used to set the default for this
2986
(Vincent Ladeuil, #206577)
2988
* ``bzr switch --create-branch/-b`` can now be used to create and switch
2989
to a new branch. Supplying a name without a ``/`` will create the branch
2990
relative to the existing branch. (similar to how ``bzr switch name``
2991
works when the branch already exists.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2997
* Accept uppercase "Y/N" to prompts such as from break lock.
2998
(#335182, Tim Powell, Martin Pool)
3000
* Add documentation about diverged branches and how to fix them in the
3001
centralized workflow with local commits. Mention ``bzr help
3002
diverged-branches`` when a push fails because the branches have
3003
diverged. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #269477)
3005
* Annotate would sometimes 'latch on' to trivial lines, causing important
3006
lines to be incorrectly annotated. (John Arbash Meinel, #387952)
3008
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
3009
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
3010
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
3012
* Avoid progress bar artifacts being left behind on the screen.
3013
(Martin Pool, #321935)
3015
* Better message in ``bzr split`` error suggesting a rich root format.
3016
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #220067)
3018
* ``Branch.set_append_revisions_only`` now works with branches on a smart
3019
server. (Andrew Bennetts, #365865)
3021
* By default, ``bzr branch`` will fail if the target directory exists, but
3022
does not already have a control directory. The flag ``--use-existing-dir``
3023
will allow operation to proceed. (Alexander Belchenko, #307554)
3025
* ``bzr ls DIR --from-root`` now shows only things in DIR, not everything.
3028
* Fetch between repositories does not error if they have inconsistent data
3029
that should be irrelevant to the fetch operation. (Aaron Bentley)
3031
* Fix ``AttributeError`` exception when reconfiguring lightweight checkout
3032
of a remote repository.
3033
(Jelmer Vernooij, #332194)
3035
* Fix bug in decoding v3 smart server messages when receiving multiple
3036
lots of excess bytes after an end-of-message.
3039
* Force deletion of readonly files during merge, update and other tree
3041
(Craig Hewetson, Martin Pool, #218206)
3043
* Force socket shutdown in threaded http test servers to avoid client hangs
3044
(pycurl). (Vincent Ladeuil, #383920).
3046
* ``LRUCache`` will maintain the linked list pointers even if a nodes
3047
cleanup function raises an exception. (John Arbash Meinel, #396838)
3049
* Progress bars are now suppressed again when the environment variable
3050
``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` is set to ``none``.
3051
(Martin Pool, #339385)
3053
* Reduced memory consumption during ``bzr commit`` of large files. For
3054
pre 2a formats, should be down to ~3x the size of a file.
3055
For ``--2a`` format repositories, it is down to the size of the file
3056
content plus the size of the compressed text. Related to bug #109114.
3057
(John Arbash Meinel)
3059
* Set hidden attribute on .bzr directory below unicode path should never
3060
fail with error. The operation should succeed even if bzr unable to set
3061
the attribute. (Alexander Belchenko, related to bug #335362).
3063
* Stacking will no longer accept requests to stack on the same
3064
branch/repository. Existing branches that incorrectly reference the same
3065
repository in a stacking configuration will now raise
3066
UnstackableLocationError when the branch is opened. This can be fixed by
3067
removing the stacking location inside ``.bzr/branch``.
3068
(Robert Collins, #376243)
3070
* The ``log+`` decorator, useful in debugging or profiling, could cause
3071
"AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'next'". This is now
3072
fixed. The log decorator no longer shows the elapsed time or transfer
3073
rate because they're available in the log prefixes and the transport
3074
activity display respectively.
3075
(Martin Pool, #340347)
3077
* Unshelve works correctly when multiple zero-length files are present on
3078
the shelf. (Aaron Bentley, #363444)
3080
* Progress bars no longer show the network transport scheme or direction.
3083
* launchpad-login now respects the 'verbose' option.
3084
(Jonathan Lange, #217031)
3090
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is now officially deprecated. It is not
3091
possible to write a deprecation wrapper, but the variable will be
3092
removed in the near future. Use ``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding()``
3093
instead. (Alexander Belchenko)
3095
* Command lookup has had hooks added. ``bzrlib.Command.hooks`` has
3096
three new hook points: ``get_command``, ``get_missing_command`` and
3097
``list_commands``, which allow just-in-time command name provision
3098
rather than requiring all command names be known a-priori.
3101
* ``get_app_path`` from win32utils.py now supports REG_EXPAND_SZ data type
3102
and can read path to wordpad.exe. (Alexander Belchenko, #392046)
3104
* ``graph.KnownGraph`` has been added. This is a class that can give
3105
answers to ``heads()`` very quickly. However, it has the assumption that
3106
the whole graph has already been loaded. This is true during
3107
``annotate`` so it is used there with good success (as much as 2x faster
3108
for files with long ancestry and 'cherrypicked' changes.)
3109
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
3111
* OS file locks are now taken out using ``CreateFile`` rather than
3112
``LockFileEx`` on Windows. The locking remains exclusive with
3113
``LockFileEx`` but now it also works on older versions of Windows (such
3114
as Win98). (Martin <gzlist>)
3116
* pack <=> pack fetching is now done via a ``PackStreamSource`` rather
3117
than the ``Packer`` code. The user visible change is that we now
3118
properly fetch the minimum number of texts for non-smart fetching.
3119
(John Arbash Meinel)
3122
* ``VersionedFiles._add_text`` is a new api that lets us insert text into
3123
the repository as a single string, rather than a list of lines. This can
3124
improve memory overhead and performance of committing large files.
3125
(Currently a private api, used only by commit). (John Arbash Meinel)
3131
* ``bzr annotate`` can now be significantly faster. The time for
3132
``bzr annotate NEWS`` is down to 7s from 22s in 1.16. Files with long
3133
histories and lots of 'duplicate insertions' will be improved more than
3134
others. (John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
3136
* ``bzr ls`` is now faster. On OpenOffice.org, the time drops from 2.4
3137
to 1.1 seconds. The improvement for ``bzr ls -r-1`` is more
3138
substantial dropping from 54.3 to 1.1 seconds. (Ian Clatworthy)
3140
* Improve "Path(s) are not versioned" error reporting for some commands.
3143
* Initial commit performance in ``--2a`` repositories has been improved by
3144
making it cheaper to build the initial CHKMap. (John Arbash Meinel)
3146
* Resolving a revno to a revision id on a branch accessed via ``bzr://``
3147
or ``bzr+ssh://`` is now much faster and involves no VFS operations.
3148
This speeds up commands like ``bzr pull -r 123``. (Andrew Bennetts)
3150
* ``revision-info`` now properly aligns the revnos/revids in the output
3151
and doesn't traceback when given revisions not in the current branch.
3152
Performance is also significantly improved when requesting multiple revs
3153
at once. (Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
3155
* Tildes are no longer escaped by Transports. (Andy Kilner)
3161
* Avoid bad text wrapping in generated documentation. Slightly better
3162
formatting in the user reference.
3163
(Martin Pool, #249908)
3165
* Minor clarifications to the help for End-Of-Line conversions.
3171
* Removed overspecific error class ``InvalidProgressBarType``.
3174
* The method ``ProgressView._show_transport_activity`` is now
3175
``show_transport_activity`` because it's part of the contract between
3176
this class and the UI. (Martin Pool)
3182
:Released: 2009-06-26
3184
End user testing of the 2a format revealed two serious bugs. The first,
3185
#365615, caused bzr to raise AbsentContentFactory errors when autopacking.
3186
This meant that commits or pushes to 2a-format repositories failed
3189
The second bug, #390563, caused the smart server to raise AbsentContentFactory
3190
when streaming 2a stacked 2a-format branches. This particularly affected
3191
branches stored on Launchpad in the 2a format.
3193
Both of these bugs cause command failures only, neither of them cause data
3194
corruption or data loss. And, of course, both of these bugs are now fixed.
3199
* We now properly request a more minimal set of file texts when fetching
3200
multiple revisions. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
3202
* Repositories using CHK pages (which includes the new 2a format) will no
3203
longer error during commit or push operations when an autopack operation
3204
is triggered. (Robert Collins, #365615)
3206
* ``chk_map.iter_interesting_nodes`` now properly uses the *intersection*
3207
of referenced nodes rather than the *union* to determine what
3208
uninteresting pages we still need to look at. Prior to this,
3209
incrementally pushing to stacked branch would push the minimal data, but
3210
fetching everything would request extra texts. There are some unhandled
3211
cases wrt trees of different depths, but this fixes the common cases.
3212
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
3214
* ``GroupCompress`` repositories now take advantage of the pack hints
3215
parameter to permit cross-format fetching to incrementally pack the
3216
converted data. (Robert Collins)
3218
* ``Repository.commit_write_group`` now returns opaque data about what
3219
was committed, for passing to the ``Repository.pack``. Repositories
3220
without atomic commits will still return None. (Robert Collins)
3222
* ``Repository.pack`` now takes an optional ``hint`` parameter
3223
which will support doing partial packs for repositories that can do
3224
that. (Robert Collins)
3226
* RepositoryFormat has a new attribute 'pack_compresses' which is True
3227
when doing a pack operation changes the compression of content in the
3228
repository. (Robert Collins)
3230
* ``StreamSink`` and ``InterDifferingSerialiser`` will call
3231
``Repository.pack`` with the hint returned by
3232
``Repository.commit_write_group`` if the formats were different and the
3233
repository can increase compression by doing a pack operation.

3243
This version of Bazaar contains the beta release of the new ``2a`` repository
3244
format, suitable for testing by fearless, advanced users. This format or an
3245
updated version of it will become the default format in Bazaar 2.0. Please
3246
read the NEWS entry before even thinking about upgrading to the new format.
3248
Also included are speedups for many operations on huge projects, a bug fix for
3249
pushing stacked new stacked branches to smart servers and the usual bevy of
3250
bug fixes and improvements.
3253
Changes from 1.16rc1 to 1.16final
3254
*********************************
3256
* Fix the nested tree flag check so that upgrade from development formats to
3257
2a can work correctly.
3258
(Jelmer Vernooij, #388727)
3260
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
3261
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
3262
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
3265
Compatibility Breaks
3266
********************
3268
* Display prompt on stderr (instead of stdout) when querying users so
3269
that the output of commands can be safely redirected.
3270
(Vincent Ladeuil, #376582)
3276
* A new repository format ``2a`` has been added. This is a beta release
3277
of the brisbane-core (aka group-compress) project. This format now
3278
suitable for wider testing by advanced users willing to deal with some
3279
bugs. We would appreciate test reports, either positive or negative.
3280
Format 2a is substantially smaller and faster for many operations on
3281
many trees. This format or an updated version will become the default
3284
This is a rich-root format, so this repository format can be used with
3285
bzr-svn. Bazaar branches in previous non-rich-root formats can be
3286
converted (including by merge, push and pull) to format 2a, but not vice
3287
versa. We recommend upgrading previous development formats to 2a.
3289
Upgrading to this format can take considerable time because it expands
3290
and more concisely repacks the full history.
3292
If you use stacked branches, you must upgrade the stacked branches
3293
before the stacked-on branches. (See <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/374735>)
3295
* ``--development7-rich-root`` is a new dev format, similar to ``--dev6``
3296
but using a Revision serializer using bencode rather than XML.
3297
(Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
3299
* mail_client=claws now supports --body (and message body hooks). Also uses
3300
configured from address. (Barry Warsaw)
3306
* ``--development6-rich-root`` can now stack. (Modulo some smart-server
3307
bugs with stacking and non default formats.)
3308
(John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
3310
* ``--development6-rich-root`` delays generating a delta index for the
3311
first object inserted into a group. This has a beneficial impact on
3312
``bzr commit`` since each committed texts goes to its own group. For
3313
committing a 90MB file, it drops peak memory by about 200MB, and speeds
3314
up commit from 7s => 4s. (John Arbash Meinel)
3316
* Numerous operations are now faster for huge projects, i.e. those
3317
with a large number of files and/or a large number of revisions,
3318
particularly when the latest development format is used. These
3319
operations (and improvements on OpenOffice.org) include:
3321
* branch in a shared repository (2X faster)
3322
* branch --no-tree (100X faster)
3328
* Pyrex version of ``bencode`` support. This provides optimized support
3329
for both encoding and decoding, and is now found at ``bzrlib.bencode``.
3330
``bzrlib.utils.bencode`` is now deprecated.
3331
(Alexander Belchenko, Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
3337
* Bazaar can now pass attachment files to the mutt email client.
3338
(Edwin Grubbs, #384158)
3340
* Better message in ``bzr add`` output suggesting using ``bzr ignored`` to
3341
see which files can also be added. (Jason Spashett, #76616)
3343
* ``bzr pull -r 123`` from a stacked branch on a smart server no longer fails.
3344
Also, the ``Branch.revision_history()`` API now works in the same
3345
situation. (Andrew Bennetts, #380314)
3347
* ``bzr serve`` on Windows no longer displays a traceback simply because a
3348
TCP client disconnected. (Andrew Bennetts)
3350
* Clarify the rules for locking and fallback repositories. Fix bugs in how
3351
``RemoteRepository`` was handling fallbacks along with the
3352
``_real_repository``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #375496)
3354
* Fix a small bug with fetching revisions w/ ghosts into a new stacked
3355
branch. Not often triggered, because it required ghosts to be part of
3356
the fetched revisions, not in the stacked-on ancestry.
3357
(John Arbash Meinel)
3359
* Fix status and commit to work with content filtered trees, addressing
3360
numerous bad bugs with line-ending support. (Ian Clatworthy, #362030)
3362
* Fix problem of "directory not empty" when contending for a lock over
3363
sftp. (Martin Pool, #340352)
3365
* Fix rule handling so that eol is optional, not mandatory.
3366
(Ian Clatworthy, #379370)
3368
* Pushing a new stacked branch to a 1.15 smart server was broken due to a
3369
bug in the ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` smart verb. This is fixed in
3370
1.16, but required changes to the network protocol, so the
3371
``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` verb has been removed and replaced with a
3372
corrected ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex_1.16`` verb. 1.15 clients will
3373
still work with a 1.16 server as they will fallback to slower (and
3375
(Jonathan Lange, Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts, #385132)
3377
* Reconcile can now deal with text revisions that originated in revisions
3378
that are ghosts. (Jelmer Vernooij, #336749)
3380
* Support cloning of branches with ghosts in the left hand side history.
3381
(Jelmer Vernooij, #248540)
3383
* The ''bzr diff'' now catches OSError from osutils.rmtree and logs a
3384
helpful message to the trace file, unless the temp directory really was
3385
removed (which would be very strange). Since the diff operation has
3386
succeeded from the user's perspective, no output is written to stderr
3387
or stdout. (Maritza Mendez, #363837)
3389
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
3390
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
3391
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
3392
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)
3397
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in Russian.
3398
(Alexey Shtokalo, Alexander Iljin, Alexander Belchenko, Dmitry Vasiliev,
3399
Volodymyr Kotulskyi)
3404
* Added osutils.parent_directories(). (Ian Clatworthy)
3406
* ``bzrlib.progress.ProgressBar``, ``ChildProgress``, ``DotsProgressBar``,
3407
``TTYProgressBar`` and ``child_progress`` are now deprecated; use
3408
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` instead. (Martin Pool)
3410
* ``graph.StackedParentsProvider`` is now a public API, replacing
3411
``graph._StackedParentsProvider``. The api is now considered stable and ready
3412
for external users. (Gary van der Merwe)
3414
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is deprecated in favor of
3415
``get_user_encoding``. (Alexander Belchenko)
3417
* TreeTransformBase no longer assumes that limbo is provided via disk.
3418
DiskTreeTransform now provides disk functionality. (Aaron Bentley)
3423
* Remove ``weave.py`` script for accessing internals of old weave-format
3424
repositories. (Martin Pool)
3429
* ``make check`` no longer repeats the test run in ``LANG=C``.
3430
(Martin Pool, #386180)
3432
* The number of cores is now correctly detected on OSX. (John Szakmeister)

The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming content
3446
with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search. New command ``bzr
3447
dpush``. Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two
3448
revisions introduce the exact same line.

*********************************
3459
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
3460
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
3461
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
3462
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)

Compatibility Breaks
3470
********************
3472
* ``bzr ls`` is no longer recursive by default. To recurse, use the
3473
new ``-R`` option. The old ``--non-recursive`` option has been removed.
3474
If you alias ``ls`` to ``ls -R``, you can disable recursion using
3475
``--no-recursive`` instead. (Ian Clatworthy)
3480
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
3481
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
3484
* The new development format ``--development6-rich-root`` now supports
3485
stacking. We chose not to use a new format marker, since old clients
3486
will just fail to open stacked branches, the same as if we used a new
3487
format flag. (John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
3489
* Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two revisions
3490
introduce the exact same line. See ``bzrlib.annotate._break_annotation_tie``
3491
Be aware though that this is temporary, private (as indicated by the leading
3492
'_') and a first step to address the problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #348459)
3494
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
3495
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
3498
* ``bzr send`` will now check the ``child_submit_format`` setting in
3499
the submit branch to determine what format to use, if none was
3500
specified on the command-line. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3505
* -Dhpss output now includes the number of VFS calls made to the remote
3506
server. (Jonathan Lange)
3508
* ``--coverage`` works for code running in threads too.
3509
(Andrew Bennets, Vincent Ladeuil)
3511
* ``bzr pull`` now has a ``--local`` option to only make changes to the
3512
local branch, and not the bound master branch.
3513
(Gary van der Merwe, #194716)
3515
* ``bzr rm *`` is now as fast as ``bzr rm * --keep``. (Johan Walles, #180116)
3520
* Adding now works properly when path contains a symbolic link.
3521
(Geoff Bache, #183831)
3523
* An error is now raised for unknown eol values. (Brian de Alwis, #358199)
3525
* ``bzr merge --weave`` will now generate a conflict if one side deletes a
3526
line, and the other side modifies the line. (John Arbash Meinel, #328171)
3528
* ``bzr reconfigure --standalone`` no longer raises IncompatibleRepositories.
3529
(Martin von Gagern, #248932)
3531
* ``bzr send`` works to send emails again using MAPI.
3532
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #346998)
3534
* Check for missing parent inventories in StreamSink. This prevents
3535
incomplete stacked branches being created by 1.13 bzr:// and
3536
bzr+ssh:// clients (which have bug #354036). Instead, the server now
3537
causes those clients to send the missing records. (Andrew Bennetts)
3539
* Correctly handle http servers proposing multiple authentication schemes.
3540
(Vincent Ladeuil, #366107)
3542
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
3543
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
3545
* Fix a bug in the pure-python ``GroupCompress`` code when handling copies
3546
longer than 64KiB. (John Arbash Meinel, #364900)
3548
* Fix TypeError in running ``bzr break-lock`` on some URLs.
3549
(Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #365891)
3551
* Non-recursive ``bzr ls`` now works properly when a path is specified.
3552
(Jelmer Vernooij, #357863)
3554
* ssh usernames (defined in ~/.ssh/config) are honoured for bzr+ssh connections.
3555
(Vincent Ladeuil, #367726)
3557
* Several bugs related to unicode symlinks have been fixed and the test suite
3558
enhanced to better catch regressions for them. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3560
* The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming
3561
content with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search: it assumes
3562
that the client will make sure it is happy with what it got, and this
3563
sort of mismatch is normal for stacked environments.
3564
bzr 1.13.0/1 will stream from unstacked branches only - in that case not
3565
getting all the content expected would be a bug. However the graph
3566
search is how we figured out what we wanted, so a mismatch is both odd
3567
and unrecoverable without starting over, and starting over will end up
3568
with the same data as if we just permitted the mismatch. If data is
3569
gc'd, doing a new search will find only the truncated data, so sending
3570
only the truncated data seems reasonable. bzr versions newer than this
3571
will stream from stacked branches and check the stream to find missing
3572
content in the stacked-on branch, and thus will handle the situation
3573
implicitly. (Robert Collins, #360791)
3575
* Upgrading to, or fetching into a 'rich-root' format will now correctly
3576
set the root data the same way that reconcile does.
3577
(Robert Collins, #368921)
3579
* Using unicode Windows API to obtain command-line arguments.
3580
(Alexander Belchenko, #375934)
3588
* ``InterPackRepo.fetch`` and ``RepoFetcher`` now raise ``NoSuchRevision``
3589
instead of ``InstallFailed`` when they detect a missing revision.
3590
``InstallFailed`` itself has been deleted. (Jonathan Lange)
3592
* Not passing arguments to ``bzrlib.commands.main()`` will now grab the
3593
arguments from ``osutils.get_unicode_argv()`` which has proper support
3594
for unicode arguments on windows. Further, the supplied arguments are now
3595
required to be unicode strings, rather than user_encoded strings.
3596
(Alexander Belchenko)
3601
* ``bzrlib.branch.Branch.set_parent`` is now present on the base branch
3602
class and will call ``_set_parent_location`` after doing unicode
3603
encoding. (Robert Collins)
3605
* ``bzrlib.remote.RemoteBranch._set_parent_location`` will use a new verb
3606
``Branch.set_parent_location`` removing further VFS operations.
3609
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir._get_config`` now returns a ``TransportConfig``
3610
or similar when the dir supports configuration settings. The base class
3611
defaults to None. There is a matching new server verb
3612
``BzrDir.get-config_file`` to reduce roundtrips for getting BzrDir
3613
configuration. (Robert Collins)
3615
* ``bzrlib.tests.ExtendedTestResult`` has new methods ``startTests``
3616
called before the first test is started, ``done`` called after the last
3617
test completes, and a new parameter ``strict``. (Robert Collins)
3619
* ``-Dhpss`` when passed to bzr will cause a backtrace to be printed when
3620
VFS operations are started on a smart server repository. This should not
3621
occur on regular push and pull operations, and is a key indicator for
3622
performance regressions. (Robert Collins)
3624
* ``-Dlock`` when passed to the selftest (e.g. ``bzr -Dlock selftest``) will
3625
cause mismatched physical locks to cause test errors rather than just
3626
reporting to the screen. (Robert Collins)
3628
* -Dprogress will cause pdb to start up if a progress view jumps
3629
backwards. (Robert Collins)
3631
* Fallback ``CredentialStore`` instances registered with ``fallback=True``
3632
are now be able to provide credentials if obtaining credentials
3633
via ~/.bazaar/authentication.conf fails. (Jelmer Vernooij,
3634
Vincent Ladeuil, #321918)
3636
* New hook ``Lock.lock_broken`` which runs when a lock is
3637
broken. This is mainly for testing that lock/unlock are
3638
balanced in tests. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3640
* New MergeDirective hook 'merge_request_body' allows hooks to supply or
3641
alter a body for the message produced by ``bzr send``.
3643
* New smart server verb ``BzrDir.initialize_ex`` which implements a
3644
refactoring to the core of clone allowing less round trips on new
3645
branches. (Robert Collins)
3647
* New method ``Tags.rename_revisions`` that can rename revision ids tags
3648
are pointing at. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3650
* Updated the bundled ``ConfigObj`` library to 4.6.0 (Matt Nordhoff)
3655
* ``bzr selftest`` will now fail if lock/unlock are not correctly balanced in
3656
tests. Using ``-Dlock`` will turn the related failures into warnings.

Compatibility Breaks
3707
********************
3709
* A previously disabled code path to accelerate getting configuration
3710
settings from a smart server has been reinstated. We think this *may*
3711
cause a incompatibility with servers older than bzr 0.15. We intend
3712
to issue a point release to address this if it turns out to be a
3713
problem. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3715
* bzr no longer autodetects nested trees as 'tree-references'. They
3716
must now be explicitly added tree references. At the commandline, use
3717
join --reference instead of add. (Aaron Bentley)
3719
* The ``--long`` log format (the default) no longer shows merged
3720
revisions implicitly, making it consistent with the ``short`` and
3721
``line`` log formats. To see merged revisions for just a given
3722
revision, use ``bzr log -n0 -rX``. To see every merged revision,
3723
use ``bzr log -n0``. (Ian Clatworthy)
3728
* New formats ``1.14`` and ``1.14-rich-root`` supporting End-Of-Line
3729
(EOL) conversions, keyword templating (via the bzr-keywords plugin)
3730
and generic content filtering. These formats replace the experimental
3731
``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root`` formats
3732
respectively, but have support for filtered views disabled.
3735
* New ``mv --auto`` option recognizes renames after they occur.
3738
* ``bzr`` can now get passwords from stdin without requiring a controlling
3739
terminal (i.e. by redirecting stdin). (Vincent Ladeuil)
3741
* ``bzr log`` now supports filtering of multiple files and directories
3742
and will show changes that touch any of them. Furthermore,
3743
directory filtering now shows the changes to any children of that
3744
directory, not just the directory object itself.
3745
(Ian Clatworthy, #97715)
3747
* ``bzr shelve`` can now apply changes without storing anything on the
3748
shelf, via the new --destroy option. (Aaron Bentley)
3750
* ``bzr send`` now accepts --body to specify an initial message body.
3753
* ``bzr xxx --usage`` where xxx is a command now shows a usage
3754
message and the options without the descriptive help sections
3755
(like Description and Examples). A message is also given
3756
explaining how to see the complete help, i.e. ``bzr help xxx``.
3759
* Content filters can now be used to provide custom conversion
3760
between the canonical format of content (i.e. as stored) and
3761
the convenience format of content (i.e. as created in working
3762
trees). See ``bzr help content-filters`` for further details.
3763
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
3765
* End-of-line conversion is now supported for formats supporting
3766
content filtering. See ``bzr help eol`` for details.
3769
* Newly-blessed `join` command allows combining two trees into one.
3775
* A new format name alias ``default-rich-root`` has been added and
3776
points at the closest relative of the default format that supports
3777
rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #338061)
3779
* Branching from a stacked branch using ``bzr*://`` will now stream
3780
the data when the target repository does not need topological
3781
ordering, reducing round trips and network overhead. This uses the
3782
existing smart server methods added in 1.13, so will work on any
3783
1.13 or newer server. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3785
* ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr export`` now supports a ``--filters`` option
3786
that displays/saves the content after content filters are applied.
3789
* ``bzr ignore`` gives a more informative message when existing
3790
version controlled files match the ignore pattern. (Neil
3791
Martinsen-Burrell, #248895)
3793
* ``bzr log`` now has ``--include-merges`` as an alias for ``--levels 0``.
3796
* ``bzr send`` is faster on repositories with deep histories.
3799
* IPv6 literals are accepted in URLs.
3800
(stlman, Martin Pool, Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
3802
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
3803
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
3805
* Prompt for user names if they are not in the configuration.
3806
(Jelmer Vernooij, #256612)
3808
* Pushing to a stacked pack-format branch on a 1.12 or older smart server
3809
now takes many less round trips. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins,
3812
* Streaming push can be done to older repository formats. This is
3813
implemented using a new ``Repository.insert_stream_locked`` RPC.
3814
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3816
* The "ignoring files outside view: .." message has been re-worded
3817
to "Ignoring files outside view. View is .." to reduce confusion
3818
about what was being considered and what was being ignored.
3821
* The ``long`` log formatter now shows [merge] indicators. If
3822
only one level of revisions is displayed and merges are found,
3823
the ``long`` and ``short`` log formatters now tell the user
3824
how to see the hidden merged revisions. (Ian Clatworthy)
3826
* The ``brisbane-core`` project has delivered its beta format
3827
``development6-rich-root``. This format is suitable for judicious
3828
testing by early adopters. In particular if you are benchmarking bzr
3829
performance please be sure to test using this format. At this stage
3830
more information is best obtained by contacting the Bazaar mailing list
3831
or IRC channel if you are interested in using this format. We will make
3832
end user documentation available closer to blessing the format as
3833
production ready. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Ian Clatworthy,
3834
Vincent Ladeuil, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3836
* Tildes are no longer escaped. No more %7Euser/project/branch!
3842
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
3843
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
3844
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
3845
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
3846
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
3847
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
3848
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3850
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
3851
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
3853
* Authentication plugins now receive all the parameters from the request
3854
itself (aka host, port, realm, path, etc). Previously, only the
3855
authentication section name, username and encoded password were
3856
provided. (Jean-Francois Roy)
3858
* bzr gives a better message if an invalid regexp is passed to ``bzr log
3859
-m``. (Anne Mohsen, Martin Pool)
3861
* ``bzr split`` now says "See also: join" (Aaron Bentley, #335015)
3863
* ``bzr version-info`` now works in empty branches. (Jelmer Vernooij,
3866
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
3867
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
3868
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
3870
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
3871
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
3873
* Fix 'make check-dist-tarball' failure by converting paths to unicode when
3874
needed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355454)
3876
* Fixed "Specified file 'x/y/z' is outside current view: " occurring
3877
on ``bzr add x/y/z`` in formats supporting views when no view is
3878
defined. (Ian Clatworthy, #344708)
3880
* It is no longer possible to fetch between repositories while the
3881
target repository is in a write group. This prevents race conditions
3882
that prevent the use of RPC's to perform fetch, and thus allows
3883
optimising more operations. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3885
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
3887
* No more warnings are issued about ``sha`` being deprecated under python-2.6.
3888
(Vincent Ladeuil, #346593)
3890
* Pushing a new branch to a server that has a stacking policy will now
3891
upgrade from the local branch format when the stacking policy points at
3892
a branch which is itself stackable, because we know the client can read
3893
both branches, we know that the trunk for the project can be read too,
3894
so the upgrade will not inconvenience users. (Robert Collins, #345169)
3896
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
3897
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
3898
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
3899
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
3900
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
3901
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
3902
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3904
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX. Several minor issues (mostly
3905
test related) have been fixed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355273).
3907
* The GNU Changelog formatter is slightly improved in the case where
3908
the delta is empty, and now correctly claims not to support tags.
3911
* Shelve can now shelve changes to a symlink target.
3912
(James Westby, #341558)
3914
* The help for the ``info`` command has been corrected.
3915
(Ian Clatworthy, #351931)
3917
* Upgrade will now use a sensible default format if the source repository
3918
uses rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #252908)
3923
* Expanded the index of the developer documentation. (Eric Siegerman)
3925
* New topic `bzr help debug-flags`. (Martin Pool)
3927
* The generated manpage now explicitly lists aliases as commands.
3928
(James Westby, #336998)
3933
* APIs deprecated in 1.6 and previous versions of bzr are now removed.
3936
* ``CommitReporter`` is no longer called with ``unchanged`` status during
3937
commit - this was a full-tree overhead that bzr no longer performs.
3940
* New abstract ``UIFactory`` method ``get_username`` which will be called to
3941
obtain the username to use when connecting to remote machines.
3944
* New API ``Inventory.filter()`` added that filters an inventory by
3945
a set of file-ids so that only those fileids, their parents and
3946
their children are included. (Ian Clatworthy)
3948
* New sort order for ``get_record_stream`` ``groupcompress`` which
3949
sorts optimally for use with groupcompress compressors. (John Arbash
3950
Meinel, Robert Collins)
3952
* Repository APIs ``get_deltas_for_revisions()`` and
3953
``get_revision_delta()`` now support an optional ``specific_fileids``
3954
parameter. If provided, the deltas are filtered so that only those
3955
file-ids, their parents and their children are included.
3958
* The ``get_credentials`` and ``set_credentials`` methods of
3959
``AuthenticationConfig`` now accept an optional realm argument.
3962
* The ``pb`` argument to ``fetch()`` is deprecated.
3965
* The ``Serializer`` class and the serializer ``format registry`` have moved
3966
from ``bzrlib.xml_serializer`` to ``bzrlib.serializer``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3968
* The smart server jail now hooks into BzrDir.open to prevent any BzrDir
3969
that is not inside the backing transport from being opened. See the
3970
module documentation for ``bzrlib.smart.request`` for details.
3971
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3973
* ``Tree.get_symlink_target`` now always returns a unicode string result
3974
or None. Previously it would return the bytes from reading the link
3975
which could be in any arbitrary encoding. (Robert Collins)
3980
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now fails the test if its own ``setUp``
3981
and ``tearDown`` weren't called. This catches faulty tests that
3982
forget to upcall when overriding ``setUp`` and ``tearDown``. Those
3983
faulty tests were not properly isolated.
3984
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3986
* Fix test_msgeditor.MsgEditorTest test isolation.
3987
(Vincent Ladeuil, #347130)
3989
* ``medusa`` is not used anymore as an FTP test server starting with
3990
python2.6. A new FTP test server based on ``pyftplib`` can be used
3991
instead. This new server is a soft dependency as medusa which is still
3992
preferred if both are available (modulo python version).
3998
* Added ``chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string maps.
3999
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
4001
* Added ``bzrlib.chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string
4002
maps. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
4004
* Added ``bzrlib.inventory_delta`` module. This will be used for
4005
serializing and deserializing inventory deltas for more efficient
4006
streaming on the network. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4008
* ``Branch._get_config`` has been added, which splits out access to the
4009
specific config file from the branch. This is used to let RemoteBranch
4010
avoid constructing real branch objects to access configuration settings.
4011
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4013
* ``Branch`` now implements ``set_stacked_on_url`` in the base class as
4014
the implementation is generic and should impact foreign formats. This
4015
helps performance for ``RemoteBranch`` push operations to new stacked
4016
branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4018
* ``BtreeIndex._spill_mem_keys_to_disk()`` now generates disk index with
4019
optmizations turned off. This only has effect when processing > 100,000
4020
keys during something like ``bzr pack``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4022
* ``bzr selftest`` now accepts ``--subunit`` to run in subunit output
4023
mode. Requires ``lp:subunit`` installed to work, but is not a hard
4024
dependency. (Robert Collins)
4026
* ``BzrDir.open_branch`` now takes an optional ``ignore_fallbacks``
4027
parameter for controlling opening of stacked branches.
4028
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4030
* ``CommitBuilder`` has a new method, ``record_iter_changes`` which works
4031
in terms of an iter_changes iterator rather than full tree scanning.
4034
* ``DirState`` can now be passed a custom ``SHA1Provider`` object
4035
enabling it to store the SHA1 and stat of the canonical (post
4036
content filtered) form. (Ian Clatworthy)
4038
* New ``assertLength`` method based on one Martin has squirreled away
4039
somewhere. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4041
* New hook ``BzrDir.pre_open`` which runs before opening ``BzrDir``
4042
objects, allowing better enforcement of the smart server jail when
4043
dealing with stacked branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4045
* New hook ``RioVersionInfoBuilder.revision``, allowing extra entries
4046
to be added to the stanza that is printed for a particular revision.
4049
* New repository method ``refresh_data`` to cause any repository to
4050
make visible data inserted into the repository by a smart server
4051
fetch operation. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4053
* ``register_filter_stack_map`` now takes an optional fallback parameter,
4054
a callable to invoke if a preference has a value not in the map
4055
of filter stacks. This enhancement allows, for example, bzr-svn to
4056
handle existing svn properties that define a list of keywords to be
4057
expanded. (Ian Clatworthy)
4059
* ``RemoteBranchConfig`` will use a new verb ``Branch.set_config_option``
4060
to write config settings to smart servers that support this, saving
4061
5 round trips on the stacked streaming acceptance test.
4062
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4064
* ``RemoteBranch`` now provides ``_get_config`` for access to just the
4065
branch specific configuration from a remote server, which uses the
4066
already existing ``Branch.get_config_file`` smart verb.
4067
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4069
* ``RemoteRepository`` will now negatively cache missing revisions during
4070
``get_parent_map`` while read-locked. Write-locks are unaffected.
4071
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4073
* Removed ``InterRemoteToOther``, ``InterOtherToRemote`` and
4074
``InterPackToRemotePack`` classes, as they are now unnecessary.
4077
* ``RepositoryFormat`` as a new attribute ``fast_deltas`` to indicate
4078
whether the repository can efficiently generate deltas between trees
4079
regardless of tree size. (Robert Collins)
4081
* ``Repository.iter_files_bytes()`` now properly returns an "iterable of
4082
byte strings" (aka 'chunked') for the content. It previously was
4083
returning a plain string, which worked, but performed very poorly when
4084
building a working tree (file.writelines(str) is very inefficient). This
4085
can have a large effect on ``bzr checkout`` times. (John Arbash Meinel)
4087
* selftest now supports a --parallel option, with values of 'fork' or
4088
'subprocess' to run the test suite in parallel. Currently only Linux
4089
machines work, other platforms need patches submitted. (Robert Collins,
4092
* ``tests.run_suite`` has a new parameter ``suite_decorators``, a list of
4093
callables to use to decorate the test suite. Such decorators can add or
4094
remove tests, or even remote the test suite to another machine if
4095
desired. (Robert Collins)
4097
* The smart server verb ``Repository.get_parent_map`` can now include
4098
information about ghosts when the special revision ``include-missing:``
4099
is in the requested parents map list. With this flag, ghosts are
4100
included as ``missing:REVISION_ID``. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4102
* ``_walk_to_common_revisions`` will now batch up at least 50
4103
revisions before calling ``get_parent_map`` on the target,
4104
regardless of ``InterRepository``.

GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``. Debug

stacked branches should both be much faster over remote connections.

Changes From 1.13.1 to 1.13.2
4121
*****************************
4123
A regression was found in the 1.13.1 release. When bzr 1.13.1 and earlier push
4124
a stacked branch they do not take care to push all the parent inventories for
4125
the transferred revisions. This means that a smart server serving that branch
4126
often cannot calculate inventory deltas for the branch (because smart server
4127
does not/cannot open fallback repositories). Prior to 1.13 the server did not
4128
have a verb to stream revisions out of a repository, so that's why this bug has
4134
* Fix for bug 354036 ErrorFromSmartServer - AbsentContentFactory object has no
4135
attribute 'get_bytes_as' exception while pulling from Launchpad
4136
(Jean-Francois Roy, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4138
Changes From 1.13final to 1.13.1
4139
********************************
4141
A couple regessions where found in the 1.13 release. The pyrex-generated C
4142
extensions are missing from the .tar.gz and .zip files. Documentation on how
4143
to generate GNU ChangeLogs is wrong.
4148
* Change ``./bzr``'s ``_script_version`` to match ./bzrlib/__init__.py
4149
version_info. (Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, #345232)
4151
* Distribution archives for 1.13 do not contain generated C extension modules
4152
(Jean-Francois Roy, Bob Tanner, #344465)
4154
* GNU ChangeLog output can now be produced by bzr log --format gnu-changelog is
4155
incorrect (Deejay, Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #343928)
4157
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
4159
Changes From 1.13rc1 to 1.13final
4160
*********************************
4162
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
4163
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
4164
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
4166
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
4167
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
4169
Compatibility Breaks
4170
********************
4172
* ``bzr log --line`` now indicates which revisions are merges with
4173
`[merge]` after the date. Scripts which parse the output of this
4174
command may need to be adjusted.
4175
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
4180
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
4181
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
4182
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
4184
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
4187
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
4188
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
4189
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
4192
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``.
4193
(Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool)
4195
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
4196
(John Arbash Meinel)
4198
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
4199
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
4201
* New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer Vernooij)
4203
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
4204
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
4207
* New API for getting bugs fixed by a revision: Revision.iter_bugs().
4213
* All bzr ``Hooks`` classes are now registered in
4214
``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks``. This removes the separate list from
4215
``bzrlib.tests`` and ensures that all hooks registered there are
4216
correctly isolated by the test suite (previously
4217
``MutableTreeHooks`` were not being isolated correctly). Further,
4218
documentation for hooks is now dynamically generated from the
4219
present HookPoints. ``bzr hooks`` will now also report on all the
4220
hooks present in the ``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks`` registry.
4223
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
4224
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
4226
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
4227
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
4228
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
4230
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
4231
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
4233
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
4234
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
4235
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
4238
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
4239
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
4240
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4242
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
4243
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
4244
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
4245
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
4247
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
4250
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
4251
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
4253
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
4254
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
4256
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
4257
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
4258
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
4260
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
4265
* Allows ``bzr log <FILE>`` to be called in an empty branch without
4266
backtracing. (Vincent Ladeuil, #346431)
4268
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
4269
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
4270
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
4272
* ``bzr cat -r<old> <path>`` doesn't traceback anymore when <path> has a
4273
file id in the working tree different from the one in revision <old>.
4274
(Vincent Ladeuil, #341517, #253806)
4276
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
4277
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
4279
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
4280
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
4283
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
4284
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
4285
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
4287
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
4288
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
4290
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
4291
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
4293
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
4294
(James Westby, #174539)
4296
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
4297
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
4299
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
4300
error branching from old repositories.
4301
(Martin Pool, #321695)
4303
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
4304
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
4306
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
4307
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
4308
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
4309
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4311
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
4312
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko,
4315
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
4316
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
4318
* Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported.
4319
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444)
4321
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
4322
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
4323
when needed. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4325
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
4326
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
4328
* shelve cleans up properly when unversioned files are specified.
4329
(Benoît Pierre, Aaron Bentley)
4334
* Added ``Organizing your workspace`` to the User Guide appendices,
4335
summarizing some common ways of organizing trees, branches and
4336
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
4339
* Hooks can now be self documenting. ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook``
4340
is the entry point for this feature. (Robert Collins)
4342
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.
4343
(Daniel Watkins, #327421, #327425)
4348
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
4349
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
4350
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
4351
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
4352
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
4354
* ``bzrlib.branch.PushResult`` was renamed to
4355
``bzrlib.branch.BranchPushResult``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4357
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
4358
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
4359
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
4360
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
4361
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
4362
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
4364
* ``Inventory.apply_delta`` now raises an AssertionError if a file-id
4365
appears multiple times within the delta. (Ian Clatworthy)
4367
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
4368
"author" argument being deprecated.
4370
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
4372
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
4373
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
4374
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
4375
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
4377
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
4378
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
4379
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
4381
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
4382
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
4383
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
4385
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
4386
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
4388
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
4389
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
4390
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
4391
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
4396
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
4397
free of virtual file system methods.
4398
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4400
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
4401
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
4402
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
4404
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
4405
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
4406
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
4407
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
4408
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
4409
(Robert Collins, #334187)
4411
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
4413
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
4414
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
4416
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
4417
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
4418
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
4419
stream the operation.
4420
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4422
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
4423
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
4425
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
4426
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
4427
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
4428
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
4429
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
4431
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
4432
branch object. (Robert Collins)
4434
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
4435
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
4436
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
4438
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
4439
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
4442
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
4445
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
4446
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
4447
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4449
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
4450
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
4451
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4453
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
4454
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
4455
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4457
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
4458
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
4459
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4461
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
4462
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
4463
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
4464
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
4465
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
4467
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
4468
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
4469
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
4470
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
4471
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
4472
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
4474
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
4475
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
4476
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
4477
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
4478
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4480
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
4481
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4483
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
4484
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
4486
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
4487
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
4488
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
4489
to access private data in record to obtain content more
4490
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
4492
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
4493
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.

4504
This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
4505
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
4506
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
4507
progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and
4508
by showing the rate of network IO.

4511
*************************
4513
* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
4514
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
4516
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
4517
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)
4519
Compatibility Breaks
4520
********************
4522
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
4523
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
4524
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
4525
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
4527
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
4528
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
4529
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
4532
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
4533
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
4534
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
4535
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
4537
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
4538
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
4539
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.
4542
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4547
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
4548
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
4549
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
4552
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
4553
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
4554
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
4556
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
4557
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
4558
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
4559
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
4560
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
4561
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
4562
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
4563
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
4564
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
4570
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
4573
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
4576
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
4577
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
4578
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
4580
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
4581
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
4582
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
4583
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
4584
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
4586
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
4587
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
4589
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
4590
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
4591
level for better precision.
4594
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
4595
rules. (Marius Kruger)
4597
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
4598
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
4599
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
4601
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
4602
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
4603
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
4606
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
4607
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
4608
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)
4613
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
4615
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
4617
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
4618
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
4619
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
4621
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
4622
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
4623
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
4624
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
4625
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
4626
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
4628
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
4629
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
4631
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
4632
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
4634
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
4635
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
4636
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
4638
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
4639
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
4640
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
4643
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
4644
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
4646
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
4647
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
4648
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
4649
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
4651
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
4652
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
4654
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
4656
* Unshelve now handles deleted paths without crashing. (Robert Collins)
4661
* Improved plugin developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
4666
* ``ProgressBarStack`` is deprecated; instead use
4667
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` to create new progress bars.
4670
* ForeignVcsMapping() now requires a ForeignVcs object as first
4671
argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4673
* ForeignVcsMapping.show_foreign_revid() has been moved to
4674
ForeignVcs. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4676
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` is deprecated in favor of
4677
``read_mergeable_from_url``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4679
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
4680
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
4681
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
4682
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
4684
* The progress and UI classes have changed; the main APIs remain the
4685
same but code that provides a new UI or progress bar class may
4686
need to be updated. (Martin Pool)
4691
* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb
4692
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
4693
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
4694
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
4695
compile buffers, are such an example).
4698
* New API ``Branch.iter_merge_sorted_revisions()`` that iterates over
4699
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
4702
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
4703
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
4704
efficient way of doing the mapping.
4707
* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
4708
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)
4710
* ``TreeDelta.show()`` now accepts a ``filter`` parameter allowing log
4711
formatters to retrict the output.
4718
:Codename: "Eyes up!"
4719
:Released: 2009-01-19
4721
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
4722
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
4723
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
4724
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
4725
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
4727
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
4728
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
4731
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
4732
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.
4737
* Fix failing test when CompiledChunksToLines is not available.
4740
* Stacked branches don't repeatedly open their transport connection.
4741
(John Arbash Meinel)
4748
:Codename: "Eyes up!"
4749
:Released: 2009-01-09
4754
* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
4755
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
4760
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
4761
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
4763
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
4764
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
4765
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
4766
implement other plugins.
4769
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
4775
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
4776
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
4778
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
4779
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
4781
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
4782
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
4783
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
4784
processes which drag in shell extensions.
4787
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
4788
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
4789
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
4790
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
4791
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
4793
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
4794
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
4795
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
4796
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
4797
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)
4802
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
4803
control directory. (#139691)
4805
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
4806
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
4808
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
4809
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
4811
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
4812
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
4813
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
4815
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
4816
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)
4818
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
4819
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
4820
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
4822
* Fix bogus setUp signature in UnavailableFTPServer.
4823
(Gary van der Merwe, #313498)
4825
* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
4828
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
4829
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
4830
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
4832
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
4833
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
4835
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
4836
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
4837
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
4839
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
4840
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
4841
in the appropriate sections.
4842
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
4844
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
4845
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
4846
(John Arbash meinel)
4848
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
4849
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
4851
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
4852
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
4854
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
4855
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
4857
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
4858
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
4859
work better with how it splits its requests.
4860
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
4862
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
4863
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
4864
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
4866
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
4869
* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley)
4871
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
4872
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
4874
* Allow files to be renamed or moved via remove + add-by-id. (Charles
4880
* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
4881
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
4882
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
4888
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
4889
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
4890
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
4891
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4893
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
4894
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
4896
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
4897
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
4898
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
4899
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
4901
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
4902
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
4903
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
4904
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
4909
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
4910
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
4911
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
4913
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
4914
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
4915
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
4916
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
4918
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
4919
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
4920
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
4926
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
4927
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
4928
(John Arbash Meinel)
4930
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
4931
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
4932
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
4933
(John Arbash Meinel)
4935
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
4936
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
4937
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
4938
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
4940
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
4941
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
4942
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
4944
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
4945
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
4946
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
4947
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
4949
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
4950
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
4951
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
4952
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
4953
(John Arbash Meinel)
4955
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
4956
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
4958
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
4959
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
4960
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
4962
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
4963
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
4964
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
4965
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
4967
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
4968
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
4969
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
4970
(John Arbash Meinel)
4972
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
4973
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
4974
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
4975
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
4976
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
4977
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
4978
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
4980
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
4981
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)
4988
:Released: 2008-12-05
4990
Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
4991
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
4992
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
4993
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
4996
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.
5001
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
5002
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
5003
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
5004
(Martin Pool, #303856)
5006
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
5007
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
5008
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
5009
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
5010
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)
5016
:Released: 2008-11-28
5018
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
5019
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
5020
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
5021
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
5022
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
5027
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
5028
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5030
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
5036
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
5037
history just to set the last revision info.
5038
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5040
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
5041
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
5042
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
5043
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5045
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
5046
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
5047
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
5048
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
5049
(John Arbash Meinel)
5051
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
5052
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
5054
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
5055
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
5056
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
5057
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
5058
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
5060
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
5061
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
5062
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
5063
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
5068
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
5069
(Martin Pool, #289148)
5071
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
5072
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
5074
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
5075
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
5076
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
5077
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
5079
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
5080
starting with a dotted revno.
5081
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
5083
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
5084
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
5085
(Martin Pool, #288751)
5087
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
5088
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
5089
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
5091
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
5092
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
5093
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
5095
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
5096
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
5097
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
5098
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
5100
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
5101
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
5102
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
5104
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
5105
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
5110
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
5111
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
5112
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
5113
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
5115
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
5116
have changed incompatibly.
5118
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
5119
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
5120
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
5121
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
5122
don't need to change.
5124
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
5125
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
5130
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
5131
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
5133
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)

This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
5142
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
5143
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
5144
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
5145
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
5146
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
5151
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
5152
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
5154
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
5156
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` had a bug when requests were out-of-order.
5157
This only triggers some-of-the-time on Knit format repositories.
5158
(John Arbash Meinel, #293746)
5164
:Released: 2008-10-31
5169
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
5170
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
5172
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
5173
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
5174
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
5175
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
5180
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
5181
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
5182
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
5183
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
5184
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
5185
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
5187
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
5188
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
5190
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
5191
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
5192
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
5194
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
5195
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
5196
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
5199
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
5200
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
5202
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
5203
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
5205
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
5206
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
5208
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
5209
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
5210
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
5211
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
5212
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
5213
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
5214
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
5215
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
5216
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
5217
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
5222
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
5223
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
5225
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
5226
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
5228
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
5229
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
5230
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
5232
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
5233
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
5234
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
5236
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
5237
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
5238
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
5240
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
5241
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
5242
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
5243
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
5244
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
5245
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
5247
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
5248
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
5250
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
5251
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
5253
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
5254
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
5255
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
5256
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
5257
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
5259
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
5260
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
5261
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
5262
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
5267
* Improved hook documentation. (Michael Ernst)
5272
* commands.plugins_cmds is now a CommandRegistry, not a dict.
5277
* New AuthenticationConfig.set_credentials method allows easy programmatic
5278
configuration of authetication credentials.
5284
:Released: 2008-10-16
5286
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
5287
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
5288
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
5289
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
5290
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.
5295
* Fix "Must end write group" error when another error occurs during
5296
``bzr push``. (Andrew Bennetts, #230902)
5301
* Some Pyrex versions require the WIN32 macro defined to compile on
5302
that platform. (Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #277481)
5308
:Released: 2008-10-07
5313
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
5314
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
5315
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
5316
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
5317
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
5319
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
5320
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
5322
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
5323
server. (Marius Kruger)
5325
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
5326
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
5327
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
5328
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
5329
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
5330
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
5335
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
5336
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
5337
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
5339
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
5344
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
5345
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
5346
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
5347
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
5349
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
5350
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
5353
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
5354
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
5357
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
5360
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
5362
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
5363
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
5365
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
5366
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
5368
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
5369
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
5370
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
5371
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
5372
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
5373
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
5374
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
5375
operations. (Robert Collins)
5377
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
5379
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
5380
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
5381
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
5386
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
5387
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
5388
(Martin Pool, #279381)
5390
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
5391
repository now preserves the repository format.
5392
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
5394
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
5395
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
5397
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
5398
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
5400
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
5402
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
5404
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
5407
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
5408
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
5409
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
5411
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
5412
is in a different repository than the current one.
5413
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
5415
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
5416
(David Futcher, #242106)
5418
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
5419
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5421
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
5422
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
5423
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
5424
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
5426
* Trivial documentation fix.
5427
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
5429
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
5430
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
5431
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
5432
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
5437
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
5442
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
5443
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
5444
to use. (Robert Collins)
5446
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
5447
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
5448
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
5450
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
5451
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
5452
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
5453
they want. (Robert Collins)
5458
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
5459
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
5460
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
5462
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
5463
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
5466
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
5469
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
5470
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
5472
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
5478
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
5479
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
5481
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
5482
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
5483
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
5485
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
5486
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
5487
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
5489
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
5490
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
5492
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
5493
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
5495
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
5496
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
5498
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
5499
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
5500
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
5501
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept
5509

No changes from 1.7.1rc1.
5517
:Released: 2008-09-24
5519
This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
5520
file paths when we encounter complex history.
5525
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
5526
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
5527
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
5528
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.
5529
(John Arbash Meinel)
5535
:Released: 2008-09-23
5537
This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
5538
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
5539
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
5540
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
5541
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.
5542
There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.
5547
* Some small updates to the win32 installer. Include localization
5548
files found in plugins, and include the builtin distutils as part of
5549
packaging qbzr. (Mark Hammond)
5555
:Released: 2008-09-17
5557
A few bug fixes from 1.7rc1. The biggest change is a new
5558
``RemoteBranch.get_stacked_on_url`` rpc. This allows clients that are
5559
trying to access a Stacked branch over the smart protocol, to properly
5560
connect to the stacked-on location.
5565
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
5566
repository now preserves the repository format.
5567
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
5569
* Branching from a stacked branch via ``bzr+ssh`` can properly connect
5570
to the stacked-on branch. (Martin Pool, #261315)
5572
* ``bzr init`` no longer re-opens the BzrDir multiple times.
5575
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
5582
:Released: 2008-09-09
5584
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
5585
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
5586
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
5587
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
5588
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
5589
it in a future repository format.
5595
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
5598
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
5599
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
5600
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
5602
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
5603
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
5604
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
5609
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
5610
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
5612
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
5617
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
5618
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
5621
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
5622
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
5624
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
5625
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
5628
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
5629
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
5630
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
5631
(John Arbash Meinel)
5633
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
5634
(Martin Pool, #261315)
5636
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
5637
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
5638
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
5639
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
5640
(John Arbash Meinel)
5642
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
5643
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
5644
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
5645
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
5646
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
5647
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
5648
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
5649
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
5650
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
5651
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
5656
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
5657
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
5659
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
5660
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
5661
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
5663
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
5664
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
5665
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
5667
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
5668
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
5669
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
5670
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
5671
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
5672
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
5674
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
5675
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
5677
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
5678
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
5680
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
5681
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
5682
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
5683
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
5684
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
5685
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
5687
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
5688
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
5690
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
5691
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
5693
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
5694
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
5695
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
5696
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
5698
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
5699
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
5701
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
5702
assuming the host name is ascii.
5703
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
5705
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
5706
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
5711
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
5716
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
5718
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
5719
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
5720
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
5723
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
5724
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5726
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
5727
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
5729
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
5730
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
5735
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
5736
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
5737
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
5738
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
5740
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
5744
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
5745
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
5746
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
5748
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
5754
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
5755
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
5758
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
5759
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
5760
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
5761
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
5762
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5764
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
5765
is unknown in both source and target.
5766
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
5768
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
5769
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
5770
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
5771
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
5773
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
5774
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
5775
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
5776
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)

:Released: 2008-09-05
5784
A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
5785
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
5786
and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
5792
:Released: 2008-09-03
5797
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
5798
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
5799
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
5800
(John Arbash Meinel, #264321)
5806
:Released: 2008-08-29
5808
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
5809
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
5810
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
5811
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
5812
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
5813
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
5814
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
5815
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
5816
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
5817
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
5818
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
5819
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
5824
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
5825
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
5826
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
5827
start of the string (causing more copies).
5828
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
5829
especially for projects with large files.
5830
(John Arbash Meinel)
5832
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
5833
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
5834
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
5835
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
5836
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
5838
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
5839
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
5840
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
5841
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
5842
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.

:Released: 2008-08-25
5851
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
5852
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
5853
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
5854
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
5855
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
5856
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
5857
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
5858
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
5859
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
5865
:Released: 2008-08-19
5870
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
5871
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
5872
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
5873
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
5874
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
5880
:Released: 2008-08-18
5885
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
5886
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
5887
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
5893
:Released: 2008-08-14
5898
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
5899
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
5905
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
5906
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
5907
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
5913
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
5914
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
5915
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
5917
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
5918
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
5919
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
5920
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
5921
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
5922
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
5923
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
5929
:Released: 2008-08-13
5931
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
5937
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
5938
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
5940
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
5941
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
5944
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
5945
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
5946
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
5947
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
5948
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
5950
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
5951
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5953
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
5954
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
5956
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
5957
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
5959
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
5960
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
5961
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
5962
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
5963
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
5964
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
5970
:Released: 2008-08-06
5972
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
5973
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
5974
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
5975
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
5976
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
5981
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
5982
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
5983
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
5988
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
5989
check. (Daniel Watkins)
5991
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
5992
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
5994
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
5995
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
5996
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5998
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
6001
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
6002
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
6003
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
6004
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
6005
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
6006
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
6007
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
6009
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
6010
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
6011
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
6016
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
6017
physical repository boundaries.
6018
(Martin Pool, #252428)
6020
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
6021
(Martin Pool, #206258)
6023
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
6024
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
6027
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
6030
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
6031
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
6032
that Python is running from.
6033
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
6035
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
6036
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
6037
(Robert Collins, #150438)
6039
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
6040
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
6042
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
6043
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
6044
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
6046
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
6047
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
6049
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
6050
(James Westby, #248448)
6055
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
6056
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
6057
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
6060
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
6061
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
6064
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
6065
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
6066
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
6067
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
6068
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
6069
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
6072
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
6073
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
6075
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
6076
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
6077
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
6078
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
6079
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
6080
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
6085
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
6086
putting together a real history without having to create a full
6087
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
6088
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
6089
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
6090
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
6092
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
6093
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
6094
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
6096
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
6099
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
6100
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
6102
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
6109
:Released: 2008-07-17
6111
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
6112
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
6113
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
6114
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
6120
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
6121
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
6122
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
6124
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
6125
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
6126
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
6127
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
6128
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
6131
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
6133
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
6134
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
6135
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
6141
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
6142
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
6145
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
6146
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
6147
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
6148
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
6150
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
6151
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
6152
(Christophe Troestler)
6154
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
6155
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
6157
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
6158
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
6159
faster. The new request method name is
6160
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
6165
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
6166
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
6167
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
6168
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
6169
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
6171
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
6172
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
6174
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
6175
requires a branch to be present.
6176
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
6178
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
6180
(Martin Pool, #205230)
6182
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
6183
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
6184
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
6185
(Martin Pool, #240161)
6187
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
6188
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
6190
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
6192
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
6194
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
6195
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
6196
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
6197
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
6198
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
6200
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
6201
(Martin Pool, #172870)
6203
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
6204
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
6206
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
6208
(Matt McClure, #209281)
6210
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
6211
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
6213
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
6214
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
6219
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
6222
* Updated developer documentation.
6228
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
6229
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
6231
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
6232
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
6233
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
6234
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
6239
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
6240
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
6241
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
6242
Repository docstring for more details.
6245
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
6246
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
6247
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
6249
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
6250
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
6253
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
6254
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
6255
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
6256
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
6261
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
6262
(Alexander Belchenko)
6264
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
6265
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
6266
containing a given location.
6269
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
6270
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
6271
storage. (Robert Collins)
6273
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
6276
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
6277
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
6284
:Released: 2008-06-10
6286
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
6287
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
6288
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
6294
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
6295
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
6296
reading from the repository.)
6297
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
6299
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
6300
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
6302
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
6303
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
6306
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
6307
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
6308
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
6310
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
6311
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
6312
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
6314
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
6315
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
6317
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
6318
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
6319
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.

* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
6327
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
6328
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
6329
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
6332
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
6333
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
6338
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
6343
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
6344
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
6349
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
6350
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
6351
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
6352
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
6353
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
6355
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
6356
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
6361
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
6362
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
6364
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
6365
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
6370
:Released: 2008-06-02
6372
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
6373
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
6374
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
6375
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
6376
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
6377
and future extensions.
6380
Notes When Upgrading
6381
********************
6383
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
6384
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
6385
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
6386
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
6387
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
6388
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
6389
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
6390
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
6395
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
6396
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
6397
(John Arbash Meinel)
6402
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
6403
load. (James Westby)
6408
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
6409
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
6410
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
6411
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
6413
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
6414
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
6415
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
6417
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
6418
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
6420
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
6421
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
6422
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
6424
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
6425
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
6426
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
6427
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
6428
step closer to not using full revision history.
6429
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
6434
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
6435
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
6437
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
6438
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
6440
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
6441
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
6443
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
6444
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
6445
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
6446
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
6448
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
6449
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
6450
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
6451
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
6453
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
6454
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
6455
in use by another process.
6458
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
6459
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
6460
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
6461
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
6463
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
6464
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
6466
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
6467
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
6468
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
6470
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
6471
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
6472
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
6474
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
6476
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
6478
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
6479
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
6481
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
6482
under vim on Mac OS X.
6483
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
6485
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
6486
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
6491
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
6492
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
6494
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
6495
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
6498
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
6499
and about use of Python reprs.
6500
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
6502
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
6507
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
6510
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
6511
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
6513
* New helper function for splitting test suites
6514
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
6519
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
6520
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
6521
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
6522
(John Arbash Meinel)
6527
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
6528
instead. (Martin Pool)
6530
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
6531
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
6532
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
6533
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
6535
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
6536
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
6537
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
6538
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
6539
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
6541
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
6542
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
6543
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
6544
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
6545
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
6546
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
6548
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
6549
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
6552
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
6553
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
6556
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
6557
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
6558
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
6559
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
6561
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
6562
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
6563
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
6565
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
6566
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
6567
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
6568
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
6569
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
6572
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
6573
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
6574
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
6575
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
6578
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
6579
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
6580
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
6581
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
6582
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
6584
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
6591
:Released: 2008-05-16
6593
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
6594
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
6595
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
6600
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
6601
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
6602
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
6607
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
6608
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
6615
:Released: 2008-05-09
6620
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
6621
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
6622
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
6623
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
6628
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
6629
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
6631
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
6632
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
6634
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
6640
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
6641
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
6643
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
6644
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
6646
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
6647
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
6648
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
6650
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
6651
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
6652
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
6654
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
6657
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
6658
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
6660
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
6661
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
6663
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
6664
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
6666
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
6667
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
6669
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
6670
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
6671
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
6673
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
6674
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
6676
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
6677
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
6679
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
6680
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
6681
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
6682
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
6684
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
6685
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
6688
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
6689
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
6690
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
6692
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
6693
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
6694
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
6695
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
6696
every revision each side had in common.
6697
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6699
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
6700
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
6702
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
6703
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
6704
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
6705
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
6710
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
6711
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
6712
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
6713
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
6715
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
6717
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
6719
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
6720
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
6725
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
6726
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
6727
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
6729
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
6730
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the -D
6731
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
6732
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
6734
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
6735
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
6737
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
6738
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
6739
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
6740
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
6742
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
6743
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
6744
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
6745
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
6750
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
6751
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
6752
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
6754
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
6756
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
6757
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
6759
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
6760
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
6762
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
6763
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
6768
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
6769
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
6770
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
6772
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
6773
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
6774
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
6777
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
6778
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
6781
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.
6788
:Released: 2008-04-28
6790
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
6791
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
6792
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
6793
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
6794
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
6795
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
6796
and faster performance.
6801
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
6802
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
6803
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.

* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
6816
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
6817
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
6819
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
6820
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
6822
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
6823
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
6825
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
6826
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
6827
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
6828

6841
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
6843
* On GNU/Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
6844
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
6846
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
6847
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
6848
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
6850
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
6851
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
6852
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
6853
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
6854
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
6855
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
6858
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
6859
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
6860
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
6861
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
6866
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
6868
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
6869
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
6870
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
6872
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
6873
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
6874
See the User Reference for signature details.
6875
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
6877
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
6878
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
6883
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
6884
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
6885
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
6886
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
6888
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
6889
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
6891
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
6892
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
6893
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
6896
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
6899
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
6900
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
6901
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
6903
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
6906
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
6907
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
6909
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
6910
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
6912
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
6913
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
6914
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
6916
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
6917
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
6918
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
6919
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
6920
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
6922
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
6923
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
6925
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
6926
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
6931
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
6932
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
6933
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
6934
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
6935
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
6936
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
6938
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
6939
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
6941
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
6942
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
6943
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
6945
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
6946
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
6948
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
6949
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
6950
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
6951
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6953
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
6954
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
6955
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
6956
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
6957
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
6959
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
6961
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
6962
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
6964
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
6966
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
6967
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
6969
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
6970
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
6975
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
6977
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
6979
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
6981
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
6986
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
6987
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
6988
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
6990
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
6991
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
6992
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
6993
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
6995
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
6996
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
6997
release. (James Westby)
6999
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
7002
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
7004
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
7005
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
7007
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
7008
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
7010
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
7011
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
7013
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
7014
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
7015
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
7017
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
7018
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
7019
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
7020
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
7022
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
7023
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
7024
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
7025
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
7027
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
7028
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
7029
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
7030
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
7031
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
7032
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
7034
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
7035
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
7036
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
7038
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
7039
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
7041
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
7042
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
7045
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
7046
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
7048
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
7049
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
7051
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
7052
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
7054
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
7055
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
7056
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
7058
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
7059
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
7060
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
7061
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
7062
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
7063
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
7068
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
7069
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
7070
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
7071
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
7073
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
7074
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
7075
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
7076
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
7080
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
7081
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
7084
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
7085
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
7087
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
7089
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
7090
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
7091
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
7096
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
7098
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
7101
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
7102
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
7103
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
7104
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
7105
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
7106
(Martin Pool, #109520)
7108
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
7109
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
7111
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
7112
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
7113
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
7114
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
7116
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
7117
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
7119
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
7120
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)
7126
:Released: 2008-04-09
7128
No changes from 1.3.1rc1.
7134
:Released: 2008-04-04

* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
7140
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using

Notes When Upgrading
7170
********************
7172
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
7173
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
7178
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
7179
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
7180
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
7181
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
7184
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
7185
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
7186
filename (on Unix) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
7187
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
7188
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
7189
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
7191
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
7192
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
7193
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
7194
(Alexander Belchenko)
7196
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
7198
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
7199
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
7204
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
7205
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
7207
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
7208
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
7214
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
7216
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
7218
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
7219
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
7220
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
7222
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
7223
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
7225
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
7226
to. (Daniel Watkins)
7228
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
7229
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
7230
(Alexander Belchenko)
7232
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
7233
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
7234
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
7235
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
7237
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
7240
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
7241
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
7242
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
7243
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
7244
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
7249
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
7250
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
7251
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
7252
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
7254
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
7255
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
7257
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
7258
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
7260
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
7261
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
7262
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
7264
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
7265
(#198793, John Ferlito)
7267
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
7270
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
7271
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
7273
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
7275
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
7277
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
7278
symlinks (James Henstridge)
7280
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
7281
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
7283
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
7284
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
7286
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
7287
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
7289
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
7290
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
7292
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
7293
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
7298
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
7299
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
7304
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
7305
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
7306
(Alexander Belchenko)
7311
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
7313
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
7314
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
7320
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
7321
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
7322
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
7324
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
7325
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
7326
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
7327
(Alexander Belchenko)
7329
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
7330
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
7331
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
7332
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
7334
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
7335
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
7336
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
7339
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
7340
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
7341
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
7343
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
7344
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
7345
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
7347
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
7348
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
7349
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
7350
format. (Robert Collins)
7356

7361
* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)

:Released: 2008-02-13
7369
Notes When Upgrading
7370
********************
7372
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
7373
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
7374
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
7375
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
7376
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
7382
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
7383
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
7385
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
7386
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
7387
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
7389
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
7390
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
7391
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
7392
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
7393
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
7394
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
7400
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
7401
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
7403
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
7404
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
7405
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
7408
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
7409
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
7410
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
7411
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
7412
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
7414
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
7415
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
7416
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
7417
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
7418
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
7419
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
7420
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
7421
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
7426
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
7427
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
7429
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
7430
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
7432
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
7433
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
7435
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
7436
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
7437
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
7439
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
7440
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
7441
(John Arbash Meinel)
7446
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
7447
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
7449
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
7450
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
7452
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
7453
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
7455
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
7456
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
7457
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
7459
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
7460
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
7461
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
7463
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
7464
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
7466
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
7467
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
7468
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
7469
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
7470
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
7472
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
7474
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
7475
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
7478
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
7479
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
7481
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
7482
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
7484
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
7485
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123363)
7487
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
7488
more characters which should be considered valid.
7489
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
7491
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
7492
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
7494
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
7495
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
7500
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
7501
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
7503
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
7504
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
7510
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
7511
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
7517
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
7518
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
7519
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
7521
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
7522
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
7523
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
7525
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
7526
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
7527
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
7528
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
7530
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
7532
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
7533
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
7534
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
7535
server. (Robert Collins)
7537
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
7538
operate. (Robert Collins)
7540
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
7541
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
7542
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
7544
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
7545
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
7546
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
7547
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
7549
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
7550
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
7552
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
7553
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
7554
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
7556
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
7557
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
7559
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
7560
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
7562
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
7563
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
7564
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
7565
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

:Released: 2008-01-05
7583
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
7584
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
7585
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
7586
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
7588
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
7589
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
7590
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
7591
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
7596
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
7599
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
7602
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
7603
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
7608
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
7611
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
7612
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
7613
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
7615
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
7617
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
7618
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
7619
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
7620
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
7621
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
7623
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
7624
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
7625
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
7627
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
7628
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
7630
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
7633
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
7635
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
7637
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
7640
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
7641
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
7646
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
7647
(Martin Pool, #180208)
7649
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
7650
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
7652
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
7655
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
7656
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
7658
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
7659
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
7661
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
7662
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
7664
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
7665
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
7667
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
7668
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
7669
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
7671
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
7672
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
7674
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
7675
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
7678
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
7680
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
7681
user:pass embedded in the urls.
7682
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
7684
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
7685
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
7687
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
7690
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
7693
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
7694
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
7696
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
7699
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
7700
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
7703
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
7704
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
7705
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
7710
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
7713
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
7714
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
7715
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
7716
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
7717
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
7718
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
7720
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
7725
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
7728
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
7729
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
7731
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
7733
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
7734
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
7735
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
7738
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
7739
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
7741
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
7750
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
7751
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
7752
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
7754
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
7755
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
7758
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
7759
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
7761
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
7762
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
7764
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
7765
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
7767
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
7768
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
7769
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
7771
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
7772
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
7774
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
7775
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
7777
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
7778
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
7781
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
7782
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
7784
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
7785
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
7791
:Released: 2007-12-14
7796
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
7798
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
7801
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
7803
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
7804
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.
7811
:Released: 2007-12-11
7816
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
7817
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
7818
by mail to the mailing list.
7824
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
7826
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
7827
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
7828
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
7829
feedback but also incur more latency.
7830
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
7832
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
7833
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
7838
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
7840
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
7846
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
7847
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
7848
wraps its output in a StringIO.
7855
:Released: 2007-12-07
7860
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
7862
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
7865
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
7868
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
7869
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
7870
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
7871
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
7873
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
7876
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
7877
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
7879
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
7880
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
7881
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
7883
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
7884
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
7885
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
7886
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
7887
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
7888
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
7889
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
7890
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
7891
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
7896
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
7899
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
7904
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
7905
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
7907
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
7909
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
7911
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
7912
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
7914
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
7916
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
7917
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
7919
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
7920
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
7925
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
7926
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)

Notes When Upgrading
7935
********************
7937
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
7938
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
7939
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
7940
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
7942
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
7943
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
7945
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
7946
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
7948
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
7949
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
7950
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
7951
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
7952
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
7953
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
7954
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
7955
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
7956
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
7957
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
7958
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
7959
from any tree without problems.
7960
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
7965
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
7966
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
7967
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
7969
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
7970
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
7976
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
7977
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
7978
supported transports.
7981
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
7982
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
7983
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
7985
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
7986
(Robert Collins, #154173)
7988
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
7989
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
7990
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
7991
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
7993
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
7994
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
7999
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
8000
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
8001
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
8002
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
8004
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
8005
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
8006
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
8007
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
8009
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
8010
(Robert Collins, #88319)
8012
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
8013
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
8015
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
8016
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
8018
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
8019
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
8025
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
8028
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
8029
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
8032
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
8033
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
8034
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
8035
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
8037
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
8038
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
8039
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
8040
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
8048
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
8049
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
8051
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
8052
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
8054
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
8055
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
8057
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
8058
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
8060
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
8061
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
8063
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
8064
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
8066
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
8067
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
8069
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
8072
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
8073
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
8075
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
8076
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
8077
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
8079
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
8080
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
8082
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
8083
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
8085
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
8086
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
8088
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
8089
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
8091
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
8092
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
8093
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
8094
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
8096
(Martin Pool, #164637)
8098
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
8099
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
8100
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
8102
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
8103
(Robert Collins, #161240)
8105
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
8107
(Martin Pool, #164443)
8109
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
8110
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
8112
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
8113
specify a port in urls.
8114
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
8116
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
8117
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
8119
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
8120
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
8122
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
8123
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
8125
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
8126
(Robert Collins, #153789)
8128
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
8129
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
8130
(Robert Collins, #165304).
8132
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
8134
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
8135
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
8137
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
8140
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
8141
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
8143
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
8144
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
8146
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
8147
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
8148
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
8150
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
8151
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
8153
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
8154
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
8155
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
8156
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
8158
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
8159
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
8161
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
8162
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
8163
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
8165
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
8166
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
8168
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
8169
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
8171
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
8172
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
8177
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
8178
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
8180
* The return value of
8181
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
8182
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
8183
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
8184
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
8186
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
8189
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
8190
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
8197
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
8198
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
8199
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
8202
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
8203
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
8205
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
8211
:Released: 2007-11-05
8216
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
8222
:Released: 2007-10-29
8227
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
8228
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
8230
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
8231
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
8232
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
8233
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
8234
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
8235
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
8236
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
8237
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
8238
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
8239
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
8240
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
8241
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
8247
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
8248
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
8249
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
8250
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
8251
commands. (Robert Collins)
8253
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
8254
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
8255
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
8258
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
8260
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
8261
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
8263
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
8264
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
8267
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
8268
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
8269
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
8274
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
8275
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
8277
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
8278
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
8280
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
8281
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
8282
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
8283
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
8285
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
8288
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
8289
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
8290
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
8291
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
8293
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
8294
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
8296
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
8297
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
8299
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
8300
the contents. (Robert Collins)
8302
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
8303
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
8308
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
8309
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
8311
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
8312
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
8314
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
8315
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
8317
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
8318
(Martin Pool, #63894)
8320
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
8321
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
8326
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
8328
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
8334
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
8335
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
8336
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
8338
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
8339
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
8341
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
8342
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
8344
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
8345
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
8346
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
8347
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
8349
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
8350
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
8351
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
8352
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
8353
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
8355
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
8356
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
8358
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
8360
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
8362
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
8363
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
8365
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
8366
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
8368
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
8369
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
8371
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
8372
contains a symbolic link.
8373
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
8375
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
8376
(James Westby, #140615)
8378
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
8379
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
8380
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
8382
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
8383
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
8384
(Martin Pool, #144633)
8386
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
8388
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
8389
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
8391
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
8393
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
8395
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
8396
directory to detect leaking tests.
8397
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
8399
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
8400
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
8401
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
8403
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
8406
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
8407
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
8409
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
8415
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
8416
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
8418
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
8419
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
8420
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
8422
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
8423
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
8424
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
8426
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
8427
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
8429
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
8430
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
8432
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
8433
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
8436
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
8437
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
8439
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
8440
class that needs it.
8443
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
8444
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
8446
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
8447
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
8448
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
8450
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
8451
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
8452
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
8455
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
8456
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
8457
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
8458
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
8464
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
8465
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
8466
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
8468
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
8469
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
8470
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
8471
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
8473
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
8474
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
8477
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
8478
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
8479
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
8481
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
8482
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
8483
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
8485
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
8486
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
8488
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
8489
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
8490
to complete. (Robert Collins)
8492
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
8493
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
8495
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
8496
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
8497
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
8499
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
8500
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
8501
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
8503
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
8504
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
8505
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
8506
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
8508
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
8509
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
8510
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
8511
returned. (Robert Collins)
8513
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
8514
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
8516
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
8517
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
8518
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
8519
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
8522
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
8523
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
8528
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
8529
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
8531
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
8532
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
8533
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
8534
makes this behavior available to other users.
8537
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
8538
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
8544
:Released: 2007-09-26
8549
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
8550
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
8551
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
8553
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
8555
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
8556
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
8557
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
8558
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
8560
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
8561
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
8568
:Released: 2007-09-11
8570
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
8571
in bzrlib/remote.py.
8577
:Released: 2007-09-11
8582
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
8583
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
8584
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
8585
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
8588
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
8589
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
8590
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
8596
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
8597
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
8598
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
8601
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
8602
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
8603
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
8605
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
8606
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
8607
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
8609
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
8610
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
8612
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
8613
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
8614
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
8615
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
8616
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
8617
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
8618
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
8619
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
8620
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
8621
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
8623
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
8624
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
8626
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
8627
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
8628
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
8633
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
8634
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
8636
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
8637
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
8638
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
8640
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
8641
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
8643
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
8644
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
8646
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
8649
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
8650
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
8652
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
8653
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
8655
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
8656
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
8658
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
8659
(Blake Winton, #129299)
8661
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
8663
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
8666
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
8667
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
8668
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
8669
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
8671
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
8673
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
8674
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
8677
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
8678
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
8680
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
8681
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
8684
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
8685
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
8687
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
8688
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
8690
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
8691
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
8692
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
8693
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
8694
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
8695
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
8696
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
8698
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
8699
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
8701
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
8702
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
8704
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
8705
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
8707
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
8708
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
8710
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
8712
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
8714
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
8715
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
8717
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
8718
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
8719
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
8721
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
8722
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
8723
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
8728
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
8729
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
8731
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
8734
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
8737
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
8738
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
8740
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
8742
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
8743
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
8745
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
8746
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
8748
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
8749
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
8750
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
8751
space). (Robert Collins)
8753
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
8754
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
8757
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
8758
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
8760
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
8761
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
8763
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
8764
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
8765
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
8766
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
8768
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
8769
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
8770
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
8773
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
8776
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
8777
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
8778
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
8780
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
8781
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
8782
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
8783
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
8784
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
8789
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
8790
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
8792
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
8793
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
8794
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
8795
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
8796
affected. (Robert Collins)
8798
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
8799
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
8800
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
8803
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
8804
previous release. (Martin Pool)
8809
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
8810
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
8812
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
8813
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
8815
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
8816
previous release. (Martin Pool)
8818
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
8821
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
8822
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
8827
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
8828
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
8829
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
8830
its version information. (Robert Collins)
8832
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
8833
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
8835
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
8836
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
8837
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
8838
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
8840
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
8841
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
8842
present. (Robert Collins)
8844
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
8845
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
8846
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
8847
API. (Robert Collins)
8849
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
8850
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
8853
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
8854
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
8856
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
8857
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
8858
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
8859
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
8860
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
8861
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
8863
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
8864
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
8865
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
8867
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
8868
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
8869
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
8870
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
8873
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
8876
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
8877
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
8878
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
8879
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
8880
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
8881
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
8882
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
8884
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
8885
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
8886
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
8887
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
8889
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
8890
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
8891
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
8892
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
8893
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
8894
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
8896
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
8897
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
8898
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
8900
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
8901
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
8907
:Released: 2007-08-28
8912
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
8913
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
8914
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
8915
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
8916
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
8917
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
8918
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
8919
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
8925
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
8926
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
8927
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
8933
:Released: 2007-08-14
8938
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
8939
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
8940
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
8941
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
8942
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
8944
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
8945
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
8947
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
8949
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
8951
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
8952
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
8955
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
8956
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
8959
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
8962
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
8963
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
8965
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
8966
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
8968
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
8969
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
8971
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
8972
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
8974
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
8975
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
8977
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
8983
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
8984
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
8986
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
8987
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
8989
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
8990
the repository (Robert Collins)
8992
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
8993
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
8994
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
8995
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
8996
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
8998
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
8999
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
9001
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
9002
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
9003
(John Arbash Meinel)
9005
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
9006
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
9007
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
9009
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
9010
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
9011
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
9012
(John Arbash Meinel)
9014
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
9015
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
9018
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
9019
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
9021
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
9024
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
9026
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
9028
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
9029
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
9031
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
9032
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
9035
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
9036
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
9037
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
9038
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
9040
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
9041
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
9042
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
9044
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
9045
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
9046
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
9048
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
9049
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
9051
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
9052
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
9053
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
9054
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
9055
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
9056
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
9059
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
9060
(Alexander Belchenko)
9062
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
9063
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
9065
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
9066
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
9068
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
9070
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
9071
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
9076
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
9077
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
9078
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
9079
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
9081
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
9083
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
9086
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
9087
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
9088
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
9089
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
9090
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
9091
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
9096
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
9097
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
9098
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
9099
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
9101
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
9102
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
9103
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
9104
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
9105
tests have been refactored too.
9108
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
9109
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
9110
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
9114
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
9115
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
9116
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
9118
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
9119
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
9120
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
9121
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
9122
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
9123
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
9124
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
9126
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
9127
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
9128
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
9129
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
9130
(John Arbash Meinel)
9132
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
9133
functionality for testing.
9135
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
9137
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
9138
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
9140
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
9142
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
9145
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
9146
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
9148
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
9149
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
9150
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
9152
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
9155
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
9156
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
9158
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
9159
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
9160
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
9161
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
9163
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
9164
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
9166
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
9167
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
9168
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
9170
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
9173
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
9174
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
9175
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
9176
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
9177
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
9178
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
9180
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
9181
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
9182
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
9183
many files. (Robert Collins)
9185
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
9186
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
9187
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
9188
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
9193
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
9194
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
9195
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
9197
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
9198
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
9200
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
9201
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
9202
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
9208
:Released: 2007-07-17
9213
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
9219
:Released: 2007-07-10
9224
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
9225
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
9227
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
9228
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
9229
(James Westby, #122656)
9231
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
9232
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
9234
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
9235
authentication header.
9236
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
9238
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
9240
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
9241
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
9243
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
9245
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
9246
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
9248
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
9249
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
9250
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
9252
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
9253
individually and as part of revision ranges.
9254
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
9256
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
9257
(Martin Pool, #109169)
9259
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
9260
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
9262
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
9263
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
9265
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
9267
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
9272
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
9273
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
9274
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
9275
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
9276
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
9277
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
9279
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
9280
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
9281
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
9283
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
9286
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
9287
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
9289
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
9290
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
9292
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
9293
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
9295
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
9296
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
9297
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
9298
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
9299
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
9301
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
9302
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
9304
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
9305
can be slow it is useful feedback).
9306
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
9308
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
9309
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)

* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
9313
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
9314
output. (Aaron Bentley)
9316
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
9317
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
9320
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
9323
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
9324
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
9326
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
9327
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
9329
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
9330
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
9332
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
9334
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
9335
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
9337
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
9343
* Testing cleanups -
9344
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
9345
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
9346
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
9347
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
9348
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
9349
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
9350
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
9351
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
9352
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
9353
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
9354
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
9355
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
9356
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
9357
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
9358
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
9359
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
9360
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
9363
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
9365
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
9366
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
9367
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
9369
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
9370
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
9372
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
9373
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
9375
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
9377
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
9378
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
9379
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
9380
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
9381
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
9382
same location. (Robert Collins)
9387
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
9389
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
9391
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
9393
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
9396
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
9399
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
9400
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
9401
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
9403
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
9405
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
9406
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
9407
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
9409
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
9410
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
9412
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
9413
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
9414
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
9416
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
9417
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
9418
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
9420
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
9421
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
9422
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
9424
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
9425
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
9428
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
9429
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
9431
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
9432
(Alexander Belchenko)
9437
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
9438
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
9439
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
9440
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
9442
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
9443
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
9444
testing. (Robert Collins)
9446
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
9447
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
9449
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
9450
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
9451
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
9452
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
9453
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
9454
attribute during the test parameterisation in
9455
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
9457
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
9458
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
9459
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
9460
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
9462
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
9463
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
9465
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
9466
avoid useless cloning.
9467
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
9473
:Released: 2007-06-18
9478
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
9479
(Colin Watson, #120647)
9481
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.

Notes When Upgrading
9491
********************
9493
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
9494
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
9495
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
9496
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
9497
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
9498
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
9499
and unlock() like so::
9501
work_tree.lock_read()
9503
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
9509
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
9510
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
9512
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
9513
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
9514
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
9516
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
9517
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
9518
too. (Robert Collins)
9523
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
9524
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
9527
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
9528
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
9530
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
9531
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
9533
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
9534
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
9535
understanding what changes have occurred
9536
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
9538
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
9539
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
9540
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
9542
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
9543
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
9544
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
9545
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
9547
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
9553
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
9554
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
9555
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
9556
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
9557
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
9559
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
9560
based on split paths, not just string paths.
9561
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
9563
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
9564
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
9566
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
9568
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
9570
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
9571
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
9573
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
9574
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
9576
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
9577
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
9579
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
9580
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
9582
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
9583
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
9585
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
9586
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
9587
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
9592
:Released: 2007-05-07
9597
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
9598
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
9599
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
9600
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
9601
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
9603
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
9604
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
9605
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
9607
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
9608
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
9613
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
9614
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
9615
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
9617
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
9618
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
9619
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
9620
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
9625
:Released: 2007-04-30
9630
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
9631
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
9632
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
9633
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
9635
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
9636
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
9637
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
9639
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
9640
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
9642
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
9643
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
9645
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
9646
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
9651
:Released: 2007-04-26
9653
Notes When Upgrading
9654
********************
9656
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
9657
it could be recovered again.
9658
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
9659
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
9660
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
9662
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
9664
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
9665
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
9670
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
9671
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
9673
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
9674
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
9675
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
9676
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
9678
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
9679
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
9681
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
9682
tests with names that match that regular expression.
9683
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
9685
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
9686
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
9687
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
9689
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
9690
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
9691
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
9693
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
9694
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
9697
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
9700
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
9701
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
9702
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
9703
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
9705
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
9708
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
9709
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
9710
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
9713
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
9714
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
9716
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
9717
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
9719
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
9720
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
9721
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
9722
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
9725
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
9726
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
9728
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
9729
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
9731
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
9732
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
9733
(Robert Collins, #107125).
9735
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
9736
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
9737
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
9739
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
9740
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
9741
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
9743
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
9744
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
9745
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
9746
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
9748
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
9749
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
9750
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
9751
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
9753
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
9754
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
9755
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
9756
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
9757
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
9758
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
9759
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
9760
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
9767
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
9768
code paths. (Robert Collins)
9770
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
9771
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
9772
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
9773
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
9774
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
9776
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
9777
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
9779
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
9780
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
9782
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
9783
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
9785
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
9786
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
9788
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
9789
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
9790
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
9793
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
9794
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
9795
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
9796
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
9797
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
9800
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
9801
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
9802
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
9804
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
9805
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
9808
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
9809
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
9810
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
9813
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
9814
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
9815
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
9816
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
9817
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
9819
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
9820
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
9821
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
9822
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
9824
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
9825
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
9827
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
9828
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
9829
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
9830
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
9831
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
9832
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
9834
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
9835
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
9837
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
9838
help. (Robert Collins)
9840
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
9841
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
9843
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
9844
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
9845
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
9846
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
9847
(John Arbash Meinel)
9849
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
9850
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
9851
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
9852
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
9853
useful. (Robert Collins)
9855
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
9861
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
9862
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
9864
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
9865
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
9867
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
9868
properly and is no longer beneficial.
9869
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
9871
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
9874
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
9875
the file, and does it faster.
9876
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
9878
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
9879
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
9880
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
9882
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
9883
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
9884
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
9885
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
9887
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
9888
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
9889
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
9890
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
9892
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
9893
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
9895
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
9896
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
9897
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
9898
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
9901
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
9903
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
9904
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
9906
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
9907
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
9909
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
9910
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
9911
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
9912
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
9916
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
9917
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
9922
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
9923
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
9924
in running it. (Robert Collins)
9926
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
9927
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
9929
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
9930
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
9931
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
9932
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
9933
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
9934
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
9935
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
9936
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
9938
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
9939
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
9940
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
9942
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
9943
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
9944
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
9945
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
9946
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
9948
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
9950
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
9951
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
9952
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
9954
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
9955
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
9961
:Released: 2007-04-01
9966
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
9969
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
9970
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
9976
:Released: 2007-03-26
9981
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
9982
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
9988
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
9989
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
9990
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
9991
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
9992
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
9993
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
9994
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
9995
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
10001
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
10002
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
10003
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
10005
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
10006
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
10009
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
10010
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
10011
(John Arbash Meinel)
10013
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
10014
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
10015
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
10016
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
10017
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
10022
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
10025
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
10026
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
10028
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
10029
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
10031
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
10032
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
10033
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
10035
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
10036
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
10038
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
10039
last-changed-revision for directories. The
10040
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
10041
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
10042
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
10044
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
10045
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
10046
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
10048
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

Notes When Upgrading
10057
********************
10059
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
10060
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
10061
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
10066
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
10067
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
10069
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
10070
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
10072
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
10074
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
10075
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
10077
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
10078
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
10083
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
10089
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
10090
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
10091
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
10092
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
10094
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
10095
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
10097
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
10098
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
10100
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
10103
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
10104
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
10110
:Released: 2007-03-07
10115
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
10116
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
10117
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
10118
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
10119
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
10120
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
10122
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
10123
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
10124
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
10125
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
10126
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
10127
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
10129
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
10131
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
10132
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
10133
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
10134
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
10135
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
10136
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
10137
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
10138
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
10143
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
10144
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
10146
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
10147
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
10148
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
10149
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
10151
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
10152
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
10153
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
10154
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
10155
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
10157
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
10160
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
10163
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
10166
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
10167
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
10170
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
10173
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
10174
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
10176
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
10177
directory. (Martin Pool)
10179
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
10180
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
10181
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
10182
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
10184
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
10185
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
10186
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
10187
in docs/configuration.txt.
10189
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
10190
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
10193
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
10194
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
10195
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
10196
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
10197
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
10198
repositories. (Martin Pool)
10200
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
10201
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
10203
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
10204
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
10206
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
10212
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
10213
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
10214
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
10215
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
10216
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
10217
(John Arbash Meinel)
10219
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
10220
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
10223
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
10224
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
10225
(John Arbash Meinel)
10227
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
10228
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
10229
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
10230
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
10231
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
10232
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
10234
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
10235
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
10236
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
10238
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
10239
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
10240
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
10241
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
10243
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
10245
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
10246
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
10247
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
10248
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
10250
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
10251
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
10252
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
10253
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
10255
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
10256
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
10257
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
10259
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
10260
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
10261
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
10263
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
10264
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
10265
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
10266
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
10268
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
10269
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
10270
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
10272
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
10273
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
10274
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
10276
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
10277
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
10278
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
10279
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
10280
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
10281
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
10282
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
10283
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
10284
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
10285
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
10286
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
10291
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
10292
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
10293
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
10295
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
10298
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
10299
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
10300
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
10301
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
10303
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
10304
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
10307
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
10308
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
10310
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
10312
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
10313
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
10314
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
10316
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
10317
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
10319
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
10320
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
10322
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
10323

10330
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
10331
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
10336
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
10337
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
10343
:Released: 2007-01-23
10348
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
10353
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
10354
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
10355
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
10357
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
10358
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
10359
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
10365
:Released: 2007-01-16
10370
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
10371
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
10372
server, then you can write over the http connection.
10373
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
10375
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
10378
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
10379
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
10380
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
10382
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
10383
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
10385
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
10388
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
10389
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
10390
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
10391
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
10392
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
10393
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
10395
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
10396
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
10397
should enable you to do::
10399
[/home/user/project]
10400
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
10401
push_location:policy = appendpath
10403
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
10404
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
10407
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
10408
for each file. For example::
10410
$ bzr status --short
10416
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
10417
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
10419
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
10421
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
10422
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
10424
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
10429
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
10430
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
10431
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
10432
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
10434
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
10435
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
10436
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)

* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
10440
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
10441
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
10442
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).

10445
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
10448
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
10449
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
10451
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
10456
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
10457
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
10459
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
10460
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
10461
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
10462
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
10463
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
10465
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
10466
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
10468
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
10469
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
10471
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
10473
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
10475
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
10476
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
10477
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
10478
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
10479
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
10481
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
10482
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
10483
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
10484
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
10486
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
10487
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
10489
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
10490
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)

* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.

* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
10516
tree from a branch.
10517
(Daniel Silverstone)
10519
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
10520
operations are substantially faster.
10521
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
10523
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
10524
tree from some other url. For example:
10525
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
10526
(Daniel Silverstone)
10528
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
10529
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
10530
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
10531
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
10533
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
10536
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
10537
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
10538
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
10539
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
10540
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
10541
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
10546
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
10547
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
10550
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
10551
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
10552
(John Arbash Meinel)
10554
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
10555
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
10556
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
10557
(John Arbash Meinel)
10559
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
10560
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
10562
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
10563
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
10565
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
10566
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
10572
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
10573
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
10574
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
10576
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
10577
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
10578
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
10579
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
10581
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
10583
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
10584
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
10586
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
10587
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
10588
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
10589
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
10591
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
10592
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
10593
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
10595
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
10596
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
10597
them as full references rather than integers.
10598
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
10600
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
10601
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
10603
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
10605
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
10606
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
10608
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
10609
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
10611
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
10612
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
10613
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
10614
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
10616
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
10617
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
10618
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
10620
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
10621
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
10623
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
10624
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
10625
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
10626
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
10627
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)

10655
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
10656
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
10657
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
10658
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
10660
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
10661
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
10663
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
10665
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
10666
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
10667
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
10668
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
10670
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
10671
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
10672
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
10673
to allow modules to be loaded on request.

API Incompatability
10677
*******************
10679
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
10680
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
10685
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
10686
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
10687
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
10689
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
10690
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
10691
(John Arbash Meinel)
10693
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
10694
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
10695
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
10697
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
10698
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
10701
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
10702
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
10703
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
10705
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
10706
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
10707
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
10708
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
10709
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
10710
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
10712
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
10713
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
10714
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
10717
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
10718
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
10723
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
10724
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
10725
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
10728
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
10729
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
10731
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
10732
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
10733
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
10735
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
10736
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
10738
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
10739
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
10740
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
10741
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
10743
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
10744
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
10746
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
10747
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
10748
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
10750
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
10751
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
10753
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
10755
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
10756
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
10762
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
10763
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
10764
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
10765
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
10767
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
10768
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
10769
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)

10794
:Released: 2006-09-25
10799
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
10800
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
10801
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
10802
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
10803
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
10804
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
10805
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
10807
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
10808
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
10809
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
10811
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
10813
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
10814
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
10816
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
10817
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
10818
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
10821
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
10822
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
10823
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
10824
(John Arbash Meinel)
10826
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
10827
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
10828
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
10829
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
10832
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
10833
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
10834
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
10835
(John Arbash Meinel)
10840
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
10841
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
10843
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
10845
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
10846
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
10847
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
10849
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
10850
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
10852
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
10853
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
10855
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
10856
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
10858
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
10859
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
10861
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
10863
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
10864
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
10866
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
10867
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
10869
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
10870
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
10872
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
10873
(John Arbash Meinel)
10875
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
10876
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
10877
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
10879
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
10880
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
10882
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
10883
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
10884
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
10885
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
10887
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
10888
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
10889
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
10891
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
10892
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
10897
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
10902
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
10903
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
10904
(John Arbash Meinel)
10906
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
10907
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
10908
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
10909
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
10911
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
10914
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
10915
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
10916
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
10918
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
10919
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
10921
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
10922
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
10923
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
10925
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
10926
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
10927
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
10928
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
10929
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
10930
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
10931
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
10932
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
10933
caller to repeat their request.
10934
(John Arbash Meinel)
10936
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
10937
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
10939
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
10940
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
10942
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
10943
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
10944
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
10945
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
10946
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
10947
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
10948
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
10950
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
10951
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
10952
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
10953
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
10954
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
10955
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
10956
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
10957
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
10960
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
10961
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
10962
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
10964
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
10965
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
10967
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
10968
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
10970
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
10971
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
10976
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
10977
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
10979
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
10980
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
10981
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
10983
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
10984
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
10985
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
10990
:Released: 2006-08-29
10994
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
10995
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
10997
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
10998
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
10999
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
11000
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
11001
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
11003
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
11004
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
11005
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
11007
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
11008
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
11010
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
11011
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
11012
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
11017
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
11019
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
11020
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
11021
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
11023
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
11025
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
11027
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
11028
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
11029
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
11030
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
11032
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
11033
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
11034
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
11035
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
11036
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
11038
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
11039
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
11041
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
11042
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
11044
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
11045
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
11047
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
11048
in handling of revision properties.
11049
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
11051
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
11052
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
11057
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
11058
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
11059
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
11060
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
11061
(John Arbash Meinel)
11063
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
11064
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
11065
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
11070
:Released: 2006-08-11
11075
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
11076
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
11077
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
11078
specific one '.bzrignore'.
11079
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
11080
a more conservative list than the old default.
11081
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
11082
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
11083
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
11084
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
11086
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
11087
to more locations than just branch locations.
11093
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
11094
revno:N:branch. For example,
11095
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
11096
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
11098
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
11099
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
11100
the path of a file that has been versioned.
11101
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
11102
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
11103
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
11104
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
11105
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
11108
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
11109
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
11110
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
11113
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
11114
(Alexander Belchenko)
11116
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
11118
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
11121
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
11122
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
11123
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
11124
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
11125
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
11126
(John Arbash Meinel)
11128
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
11129
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
11130
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
11131
grained analysis of performance.
11132
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
11134
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
11135
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
11137
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
11138
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
11139
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
11140
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
11141
file. (Robert Collins).
11143
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
11144
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
11145
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
11147
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
11148
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
11151
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
11152
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
11154
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
11155
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
11156
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
11157
the same way you would apply another branch.
11158
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
11160
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
11161
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
11163
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
11166
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
11169
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
11170
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
11171
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
11173
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
11174
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
11175
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
11177
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
11178
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
11180
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
11181
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
11182
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
11183
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
11184
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
11186
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
11187
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
11189
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
11190
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
11191
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
11192
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
11193
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
11194
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
11195
branch is as much as 4x faster.
11196
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
11198
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
11199
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
11200
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
11205
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
11207
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
11209
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
11210
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
11212
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
11213
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
11215
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
11216
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
11218
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
11220
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
11221
(John Arbash Meinel)
11223
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
11224
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
11226
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
11227
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
11230
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
11231
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
11233
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
11234
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
11236
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
11237
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
11238
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
11239
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
11241
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
11242
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
11244
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
11246
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
11247
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
11249
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
11251
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
11253
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
11254
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
11256
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
11257
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
11259
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
11260
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
11261
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
11263
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
11264
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
11265
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
11267
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
11268
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
11270
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
11271
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
11273
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
11274
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
11276
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
11277
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
11279
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
11280
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
11282
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
11283
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
11284
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
11286
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
11288
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
11289
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
11294
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
11295
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
11296
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
11298
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
11299
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
11301
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
11302
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
11303
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
11305
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
11306
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
11308
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
11309
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
11312
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
11313
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
11314
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
11316
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
11317
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
11318
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
11320
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
11321
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
11322
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
11324
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
11325
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
11326
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
11328
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
11329
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
11330
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
11332
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
11333
instead. (Robert Collins)
11335
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

11345
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)

11355
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
11356
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
11358
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
11359
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
11361
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
11362
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
11363
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
11368
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
11370
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
11371
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
11373
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
11378
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
11379
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
11380
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
11381
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
11386
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
11387
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
11388
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
11393
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
11394
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
11395
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)

Notes When Upgrading
11409
********************
11411
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
11412
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
11413
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
11414
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
11415
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
11416
will keep the same format.
11418
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
11419
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
11420
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
11421
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
11422
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
11424
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
11425
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
11426
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
11427
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
11428
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
11429
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
11430
indicating the current revision of the branch.
11432
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
11433
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
11434
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
11435
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
11436
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
11438
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
11439
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
11440
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
11447
* sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
11448
convention. Paths now take the form::
5
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
6
revno:N:branch. For example,
7
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
8
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
10
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
11
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
12
~/.bazaar/ignore which will apply to every tree, and the tree
13
specific one '.bzrignore'.
14
~/.bazaar/ignore will be created if it does not exist, but with
15
a more conservative list than the old default.
16
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
17
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
18
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.

(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
21
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
22
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
23
the path of a file that has been versioned.
24
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
25
Branch.get_parent()/set_parent() now save a relative path if possible,
26
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
27
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
28
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
31
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
32
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
33
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
36
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
39
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
41
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
44
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
45
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
46
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
47
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
48
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
51
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
52
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
53
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
54
grained analysis of performance.
55
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
57
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
58
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
60
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
61
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
62
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
63
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
64
file. (Robert Collins).
66
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
67
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
68
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
70
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
71
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
74
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
75
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
77
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
78
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
79
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
80
the same way you would apply another branch.
81
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
83
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
84
to more locations than just branch locations.
87
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
88
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
90
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
93
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
96
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
97
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
98
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
100
* New env variable BZR_PROGRESS_BAR, sets the default progress bar type.
101
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
102
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
104
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
105
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
107
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
108
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
109
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
110
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
111
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
113
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
114
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
116
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
117
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
118
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
119
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
120
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
121
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
122
branch is as much as 4x faster.
123
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
125
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
126
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
127
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
131
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
132
tests not to run. (#32587, Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman,
135
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
136
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
138
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
139
in connecting to the remote location. (#49742, John Arbash Meinel)
141
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
142
(#45010, John Arbash Meinel)
144
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
146
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
149
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
150
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
152
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
153
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
156
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
157
push. (#52227, Aaron Bentley)
159
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
160
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
162
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
163
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
164
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
165
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
167
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
168
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
170
* Tuning iter_entries() to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
172
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
173
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
175
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
177
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
179
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
180
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
182
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
183
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
185
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
186
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
187
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
189
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
190
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
191
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
193
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
194
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
196
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
197
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
199
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
200
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
202
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
203
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
207
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
208
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
209
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
211
* Appending to bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE is now deprecated. Instead, use
212
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
214
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
215
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
216
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
218
* bzrlib.delta.compare_trees now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
219
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
221
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
222
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
225
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
226
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
227
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
229
* Deprecate Repository.all_revision_ids; most methods don't really need
230
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
231
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
233
* Add a BzrDirFormat control_formats list which allows for control formats
234
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
235
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
237
* bzrlib.diff.external_diff can be redirected to any file-like object.
238
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
239
(#4047, #48914, James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel)
241
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
242
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
243
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
245
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use repository.revision_tree(None)
246
instead. (Robert Collins)
248
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
254
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
260
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
261
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
263
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
264
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
266
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
267
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
268
(#44443, Olaf Conradi)
272
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
274
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
275
(#44155, Olaf Conradi)
277
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (#44284, Olaf Conradi)
281
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
282
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
283
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
284
list of editors. (#42904, Olaf Conradi)
288
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
289
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
290
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
294
* New public api in InventoryEntry - 'describe_change(old, new)' which
295
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
296
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
300
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
301
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
305
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
307
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
308
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
309
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
310
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
311
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
312
will keep the same format.
314
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
315
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
316
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
317
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
318
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
320
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
321
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
322
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
323
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
324
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
325
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
326
indicating the current revision of the branch.
328
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
329
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
330
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
331
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
332
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
334
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
335
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
336
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
342
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
343
convention. Paths now take the form:
11450
344
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
11452
346
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
11454
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
11455
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
11457
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
11458
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
11459
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
11461
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
11462
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
11463
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
11464
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
11466
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
11467
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
11468
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
11470
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
11472
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
11474
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
11475
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
11478
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
11479
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
11480
| xargs bzr re-sign
11482
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
11484
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
11485
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
11486
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
11489
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
11491
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
11493
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
11496
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
11497
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
11499
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
11500
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
11501
Daniel Silverstone)
11503
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
11504
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
11507
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
11509
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
11511
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
11512
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
11514
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
11515
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
11516
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
11517
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
11518
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
11519
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
11521
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
11523
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
11524
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
11527
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
11528
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
11530
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
11531
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
11533
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
11535
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
11536
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
11537
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
11538
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
11539
specification by Martin Pool.
11540
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
11542
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
11545
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
11546
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
11548
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
11549
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
11550
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
11552
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
11554
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
11555
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
11561
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
11562
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
11564
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
11566
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
11568
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
11571
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
11572
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
11573
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
11574
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
11579
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
11580
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
11581
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
11582
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
11584
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
11585
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
11586
tried. (Martin Pool)
11588
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
11591
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
11593
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
11594
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
11595
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
11597
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
11598
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
11600
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
11601
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
11602
paths. (Robert Collins)
11604
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
11605
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
11606
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
11608
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
11609
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
11610
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
11612
* Progress bars are now nested - see
11613
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
11614
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
11616
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
11619
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
11622
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
11624
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
11626
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
11627
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
11628
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
11631
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
11632
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
11634
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
11635
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
11636
check. (Robert Collins)
11638
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
11639
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
11644
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
11645
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
11647
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
11648
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
11649
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
11650
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
11652
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
11653
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
11654
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
11655
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
11656
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
11658
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
11659
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
11660
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
11662
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
11664
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
11665
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
11670
:Released: 2006-01-09
11675
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
11676
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
11678
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
11679
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
11680
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
11683
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
11684
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
11686
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
11687
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
11688
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
11689
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
11690
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
11692
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
11693
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
11694
used. (Robert Collins)
11696
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
11697
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
11700
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
11701
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
11702
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
11704
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
11707
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
11708
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
11713
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
11714
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
11716
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
11718
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
11720
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
11721
tree. (Robert Collins)
11723
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
11724
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
11725
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
11728
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
11731
* Tweaks to short log printing
11733
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
11736
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
11737
occurs. (Martin Pool)
11739
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
11740
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
11742
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
11743
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
11745
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
11746
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
11747
settings. (Magnus Therning)
11749
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
11750
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
11752
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
11753
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
11756
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
11757
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
11759
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
11760
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
11762
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
11763
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
11765
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
11768
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
11769
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
11771
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
11772
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
11774
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
11775
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
11776
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
11781
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
11783
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
11785
* Error when run with -OO
11787
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
11790
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
11792
* Change status to 3 for all errors
11794
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
11795
ignored by diff and status
11797
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
11798
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
11800
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
11802
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
11804
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
11805
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
11807
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
11808
email address. (Marien Zwart)
11810
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
11813
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
11814
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
11816
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
11818
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
11819
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
11821
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
11824
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
11825
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
11827
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
11832
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
11833
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
11835
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
11837
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
11839
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
11841
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
11842
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
11843
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
11845
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
11847
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
11848
(John Arbash Meinel)
11850
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
11852
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
11853
If adding a new test script please add that to
11854
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
11856
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
11857
imported. (Martin Pool)
11859
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
11860
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
11861
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
11862
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
11863
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
11866
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
11867
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
11868
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
11870
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
11871
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
11872
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
11874
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
11875
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
11876
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
11877
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
11878
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
11881
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
11882
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
11888
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
11889
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
11891
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
11892
function. (Robert Collins)
11894
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
11895
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
11896
if needed). (Robert Collins)
11898
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
11899
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
11902
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
11903
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
11904
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
11905
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
11906
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
11907
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
11908
version. (Robert Collins)
11910
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
11911
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
11913
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
11914
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
11915
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
11916
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
11917
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
11918
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
11920
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
11923
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
348
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
349
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
351
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
352
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
353
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
355
* The bzr_man.py file has been removed. To create the man page now,
356
use ./generate_docs.py man. The new program can also create other files.
357
Run "python generate_docs.py --help" for usage information. (Hans
358
Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
360
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell). Help also updated to
361
reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar (Hans Ulrich
364
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
366
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
368
* 'bzr re-sign' now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
369
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old commits.
370
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
371
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
374
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
376
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
377
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
378
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
381
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
383
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
385
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
388
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
389
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
391
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
392
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
395
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
396
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
399
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
401
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
403
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
404
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
406
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
407
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
408
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
409
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
410
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
411
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
413
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
415
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
416
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
419
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
420
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
422
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
423
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
425
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
427
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
428
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
429
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
430
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
431
specification by Martin Pool.
432
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
434
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
437
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
438
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
440
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
441
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
442
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
444
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
446
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
447
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
452
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
453
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
455
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (#5379, Matthew Fuller)
457
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (#35940, Martin Pool, Ian Bicking)
459
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
462
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
463
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
464
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
465
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
469
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
470
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
471
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
472
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
474
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
475
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
478
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
481
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
483
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, WorkingTree.create_standalone,
484
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see BzrDir.create_* for
485
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
487
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
488
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
490
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
491
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
492
paths. (Robert Collins)
494
* bzrlib.fetch.fetch and bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch are now deprecated,
495
please use 'branch.fetch' or 'repository.fetch' depending on your
496
needs. (Robert Collins)
498
* deprecated methods now have a 'is_deprecated' flag on them that can
499
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
500
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
502
* Progress bars are now nested - see
503
bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
505
* New API call get_format_description() for each type of format.
508
* Changed branch.set_parent() to accept None to remove parent.
511
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
513
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
515
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a bar_type parameter which
516
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
517
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
520
* New API method get_physical_lock_status() to query locks present on a
521
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
523
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
524
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
525
check. (Robert Collins)
527
* bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol now supports 'get_boolean' to prompt
528
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
532
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
533
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
535
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see bzrlib.
536
tests.branch_implementations. This is analagous to the transport
537
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
538
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
540
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
541
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
542
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
543
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
544
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
546
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
547
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
548
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
550
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
552
* run_bzr and run_bzr_captured now accept a 'stdin="foo"' parameter which
553
will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
559
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
560
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
562
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
563
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
564
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
567
* Under Windows configuration directory is now %APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0
568
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
570
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by BZR_HOME
571
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in BZR_HOME, then
572
in HOME. Under Windows the order is: BZR_HOME, APPDATA (usually
573
points to C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data), HOME.
576
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
577
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
578
used. (Robert Collins)
580
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
581
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
584
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
585
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
586
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
588
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
591
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
592
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
596
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
597
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
599
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
601
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
603
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
604
tree. (Robert Collins)
606
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
607
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
608
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
611
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
614

620
occurs. (Martin Pool)
622
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
623
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
625
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
626
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
628
* Commit editor temporary files now start with 'bzr_log.', to allow
629
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
630
settings. (Magnus Therning)
632
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.

635
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
636
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password

* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
640
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
642

753
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
755
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
756
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
757
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
758
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
759
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
762
* TestCase.build_tree uses the transport interface to build trees, pass
763
in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
768
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
769
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
771
* commands.display_command now returns the result of the decorated
772
function. (Robert Collins)
774
* LocationConfig now has a set_user_option(key, value) call to save
775
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
776
if needed). (Robert Collins)
778
* Branch has two new methods, get_push_location and set_push_location
779
to respectively, get and set the push location. (Robert Collins)
781
* commands.register_command now takes an optional flag to signal that
782
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
783
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
784
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
785
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
786
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
787
version. (Robert Collins)
789
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
790
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
792
* Branch.read_working_inventory has moved to
793
WorkingTree.read_working_inventory. This necessitated changes to
794
Branch.get_root_id, and a move of Branch.set_inventory to WorkingTree
795
as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always be obtained
796
Branch.working_tree() will raise 'errors.NoWorkingTree' if one cannot
797
be obtained. (Robert Collins)
799
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
802
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree:
11933
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
11935
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
11937
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
11940
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
11941
query method. (Robert Collins)
11943
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
11946
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
11949
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
11952
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
11953
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
11954
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
11955
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
11957
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
11958
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
11959
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
11960
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
11962
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
11963
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
11968
:Released: 2005-10-28
11973
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
11976
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
11980
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
11981
a separator, not ':'.
11984
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
11985
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
11986
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
11988
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
11989
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
11992
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
11993
has been added that suppresses all output.
11995
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
11998
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
11999
Goffredo Baroncelli.
12001
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
12002
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
12004
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
12005
a revision. (Robert Collins)
12007
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
12008
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
12009
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
12010
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
12012
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
12014
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
12015
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
12017
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
12018
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
12020
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
12021
output directory, if one was supplied.
12023
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
12024
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
12025
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
12026
parameters. (Robert Collins)
12028
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
12030
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
12031
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
12033
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
12034
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
12035
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
12037
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
12038
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
12040
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
12043
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
12045
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
12050
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
12051
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
12052
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
12054
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
12055
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
12056
related questions. (Robert Collins)
12058
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
12059
is given. (Martin Pool)
12061
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
12062
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
12063
file. (Robert Collins)
12065
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
12071
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
12072
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
12073
representation. (Martin Pool).
12075
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
12076
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
12077
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
12079
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
12082
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
12083
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
12086
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
12087
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
12088
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
12089
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
12090
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
12092
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
12093
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
12094
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
12095
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
12096
python path. (Robert Collins)
12098
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
12099
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
12100
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
12101
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
12103
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
12104
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
12106
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
12107
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
12110
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
12111
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
12112
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
12114
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
12115
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
12116
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
12118
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
12119
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
12121
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
12122
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
12123
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
12126
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
12127
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
12128
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
12129
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
12132
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
12135
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
12136
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
12139
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
12140
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
12141
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
12143
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
12144
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propagate as normal.
12145
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
12147
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
12148
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
12149
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
12151
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
12152
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
12154
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
12155
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
12156
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
12157
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
12158
caller. (Robert Collins)
12160
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
12161
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
12164
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
12165
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
12168
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
12170
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
12171
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
12176
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
12177
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
12179
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
12180
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
12186
:Released: 2005-10-12
12191
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
12192
allow directories to be listed.
12194
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
12195
upgrading branch format.
12200
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
12206
:Released: 2005-10-11
12211
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
12212
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
12213
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
12214
high-latency connections.
12219
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
12222
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
12223
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
12225
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
12226
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
12227
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
12228
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
12230
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
12231
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
12233
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
12234
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
12236
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
12237
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
12238
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
12240
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
12241
for files with only a change to their executable status.
12242
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
12245
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
12246
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
12248
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
12249
different partial views of history.
12251
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
12252
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
12257
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
12258
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
12259
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
12261
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
12262
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
12265
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
12266
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
12268
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
12271
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
12272
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
12274
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
12275
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
12276
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
12277
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
12279
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
12281
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
12282
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
12285
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
12286
Contributed by Robert Collins.
12288
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
12289
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
12290
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
12296
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
12297
for your viewing pleasure.
12299
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
12300
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
12302
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
12303
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
12304
handling of such circumstances.
12306
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
12307
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
12308
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
12310
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
12312
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
12313
we call them revisions not patches.
12315
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
12316
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
12318
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
12319
giving the revision *of that file*.
12321
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
12322
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
12323
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
12328
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
12329
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
12331
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
12332
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
12338
:Released: 2005-09-23
12343
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
12345
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
12348
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
12350
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
12352
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
12353
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
12358
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
12359
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
12361
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
12362
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
12363
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
12364
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
12367
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
12368
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
12373
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
12375
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
12376
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
12382
:Released: 2005-09-20
12388
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
12389
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
12390
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
12391
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
12394
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
12397
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
12398
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
12399
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
12400
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
12401
for the operating system is still tried.
12403
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
12404
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
12405
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
12411
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
12416
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
12418
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
12421
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
12428

12441
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
12442
help with intelligent shell completion.
12444
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
12450
* Much better merge support.
12452
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
12453
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
12460
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
12461
mention revisions that are not present.
12463
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
12465
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
12467
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
12468
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
12474
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
12476
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
12477
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
12484
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
12485
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
12493
:Released: 2005-08-18
12498
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
12499
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
12501
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
12503
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
12504
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
12506
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
12509
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
12511
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
12514
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
12515
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
12517
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
12518
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
12519
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
12525
* Faster working tree operations.
12531
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
12532
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
12533
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
12534
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
12536
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
12537
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
12538
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
12539
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
12540
standard plugins directory.
12542
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
12543
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
12544
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
12545
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
12547
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
12548
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
12550
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
12553
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
12554
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
12555
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
12557
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
12558
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
12560
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
12561
line options must come before the command name because they
12562
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
12563
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
12566
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
12568
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
12569
is available with ``--short``.
12575
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
12581
:Released: 2005-06-15
12586
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
12587
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
12589
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
12590
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
12591
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
12592
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
12594
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
12595
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
12596
with the ``--forward`` option.
12598
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
12599
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
12606
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
12607
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
12609
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
12611
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
12612
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
12614
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
12616
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
12617
either read or write mode.
12619
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
12621
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
12622
affected that file.
12624
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
12626
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
12627
suggested by LarstiQ.
12629
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
12630
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
12632
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
12635
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
12636
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
12638
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
12639
haven't changed since the previous time.
12641
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
12642
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
12644
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
12646
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
12648
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
12649
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
12651
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
12652
options through to an external GNU diff.
12654
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
12657
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
12664
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
12665
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
12667
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
12674
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
12675
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
12678
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
12679
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
12681
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
12682
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
12684
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
12685
under a different version.
12687
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
12693
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
12695
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
12696
Scott James Remnant.
12698
* Better help messages for many commands.
12700
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
12701
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
12703
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
12704
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
12706
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
12708
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
12710
* New AtomicFile class.
12712
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
12718
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
12719
2.4 is now only recommended.
12725
:Released: 2005-04-22
12730
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
12731
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
12733
* More default ignore patterns.
12735
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
12736
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
12738
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
12740
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
12743
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
12749
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
12750
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
12751
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
12752
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
12753
there are DNS problems.
12755
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
12761
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
12763
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
12765
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
12766
trailing newlines properly.
12772
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
12775
* More tests in test.sh.
12777
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
12778
directory and delete it when done.
12780
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
12786
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
12789
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
12796
:Released: 2005-04-06
12801
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
12804
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
12806
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
12809
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
12812
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
12814
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
12819
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
12820
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
12826
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
12827
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
12833
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
12838
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
810
* bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch is now smart_add_tree. (Robert Collins)
812
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
814
* Rename selftests to `bzrlib.tests.test_foo`. (John A Meinel, Martin
817
* bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins has been changed from an attribute to a
818
query method. (Robert Collins)
820
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
823
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
826
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in cmd_pull().
830
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
831
is exposed as Branch().control_files. Also this has been altered with the
832
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
833
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
835
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
836
bzrlib.symbol_versioning module. Marked method have their docstring
837
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
838
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
840
* bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode now exists to provide parameter coercion
841
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
847
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
850
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
854
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
855
a separator, not ':'.
858
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
859
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
860
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
862
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
863
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
866
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
867
has been added that suppresses all output.
869
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
872
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
875
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
876
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
878
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
879
a revision. (Robert Collins)
881
* If you set check_signatures=require for a path in
882
~/.bazaar/branches.conf then bzr will invoke your
883
gpg_signing_command (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
884
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
886
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
888
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
889
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
891
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
892
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
894
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
895
output directory, if one was supplied.
897
* If the option 'post_commit' is set to one (or more) python function
898
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
899
after the commit has completed, with the branch and revision_id as
900
parameters. (Robert Collins)
902
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
904
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
905
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
907
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
908
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
909
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
911
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
912
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
914
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
917
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
919
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
923
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
924
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
925
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
927
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
928
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
929
related questions. (Robert Collins)
931
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
932
is given. (Martin Pool)
934
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
935
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
936
file. (Robert Collins)
938
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
943
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
944
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
945
representation. (Martin Pool).
947
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
948
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
949
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
951
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
954
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
955
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
958
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
959
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
960
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
961
available, construct a *Config, and use its signature_checking,
962
username and user_email methods. (Robert Collins)
964
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
965
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
966
import other plugins during the __init__ of your plugin though, as
967
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
968
python path. (Robert Collins)
970
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
971
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
972
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
973
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
975
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
976
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
978
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
979
lock_read, lock_write and unlock methods for convenience. (Robert
982
* Two decorators, needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock have been added
983
to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
984
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
986
* Branch.open_containing now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
987
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
988
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
990
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
991
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
993
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as WorkingTree.pull().
994
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
995
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
998
* config.Config has a 'get_user_option' call that accepts an option name.
999
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
1000
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
1001
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
1004
* merge.merge_inner now has tempdir as an optional parameter. (Robert
1007
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
1008
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
1011
* WorkingTree.__del__ has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
1012
doing what it was intended to. See WorkingTree.__init__ for a comment
1013
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
1015
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
1016
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
1017
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
1019
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
1020
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
1021
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
1023
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
1024
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
1026
* 'merge_flex' no longer calls conflict_handler.finalize(), instead that
1027
is called by merge_inner. This is so that the conflict count can be
1028
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
1029
of merge_inner. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
1030
caller. (Robert Collins)
1032
* 'revision.revision_graph can handle having only partial history for
1033
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
1036
* New builtins.branch_files uses the standard file_list rules to produce
1037
a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch (Aaron Bentley)
1039
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
1041
* New bzrlib.version_info tuple (similar to sys.version_info), which can
1042
be used by programs importing bzrlib.
1046
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
1047
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
1049
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
1050
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
1053
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
1057
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
1058
allow directories to be listed.
1060
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
1061
upgrading branch format.
1065
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
1072
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
1073
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
1074
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
1075
high-latency connections.
1079
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
1082
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
1083
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
1085
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
1086
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
1087
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
1088
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
1090
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
1091
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
1093
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
1094
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
1096
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
1097
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
1098
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
1100
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
1101
for files with only a change to their executable status.
1102
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
1105
* HTTP tests now force off the use of http_proxy for the duration.
1106
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
1108
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
1109
different partial views of history.
1111
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
1112
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
1116
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
1117
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
1118
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
1120
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
1121
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
1124
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
1125
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
1127
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
1130
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
1131
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
1133
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
1134
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
1135
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
1136
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
1138
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
1140
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
1141
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
1144
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
1145
Contributed by Robert Collins.
1147
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
1148
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
1149
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
1154
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
1155
for your viewing pleasure.
1157
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
1158
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
1160
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
1161
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
1162
handling of such circumstances.
1167
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
1168
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
1170
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
1171
of tests to run, e.g. 'bzr selftest test_weave'
1174
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
1178
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
1180
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
1183
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
1185
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
1187
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
1188
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
1192
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
1193
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
1195
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
1196
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
1197
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
1198
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
1201
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
1202
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
1206
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
1208
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
1209
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
1212
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
1216
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
1217
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
1218
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
1219
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
1222
* Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default. Patch from
1225
* If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
1226
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
1227
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
1228
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
1229
for the operating system is still tried.
1231
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
1232
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
1233
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
1238
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
1242
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
1244
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
1247
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
1253
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
1255
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
1258
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
1262
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
1263
help with intelligent shell completion.
1265
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
1270
* Much better merge support.
1272
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
1273
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
1279
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
1280
mention revisions that are not present.
1282
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
1284
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
1286
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
1287
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
1292
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
1294
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
1295
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
1301
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
1302
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
1307
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
1311
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
1312
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH or ~/.bzr.conf/plugins by default.
1314
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
1316
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
1317
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
1319
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
1322
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
1324
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
1327
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
1328
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
1330
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
1331
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
1332
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
1337
* Faster working tree operations.
1342
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
1343
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
1344
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
1345
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
1347
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
1348
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
1349
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
1350
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH and DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH are then added to the
1351
standard plugins directory.
1353
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
1354
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
1355
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
1356
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
1358
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
1359
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
1361
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
1364
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
1365
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
1366
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
1368
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
1369
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
1371
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
1372
line options must come before the command name because they
1373
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
1374
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
1377
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
1379
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
1380
is available with ``--short``.
1385
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
1388
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
1392
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
1393
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
1395
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
1396
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
1397
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
1398
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
1400
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
1401
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
1402
with the ``--forward`` option.
1404
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
1405
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
1411
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
1412
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
1414
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
1416
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
1417
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
1419
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
1421
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
1422
either read or write mode.
1424
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
1426
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
1429
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
1431
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
1432
suggested by LarstiQ.
1434
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
1435
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
1437
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
1440
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
1441
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
1443
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
1444
haven't changed since the previous time.
1446
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
1447
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
1449
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
1451
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
1453
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
1454
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
1456
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
1457
options through to an external GNU diff.
1459
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
1462
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
1468
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
1469
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
1471
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
1477
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
1478
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
1481
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
1482
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
1484
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
1485
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
1487
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
1488
under a different version.
1490
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
1495
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
1497
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
1498
Scott James Remnant.
1500
* Better help messages for many commands.
1502
* Expose bzrlib.open_tracefile() to start the tracefile; until
1503
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
1505
* New internal function find_touching_revisions() and hidden
1506
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
1508
* Simpler and faster compare_inventories() function.
1510
* bzrlib.open_tracefile() takes a tracefilename parameter.
1512
* New AtomicFile class.
1514
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
1519
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
1520
2.4 is now only recommended.
1523
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
1527
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
1528
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
1530
* More default ignore patterns.
1532
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
1533
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
1535
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
1537
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
1540
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
1545
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
1546
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
1547
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
1548
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
1549
there are DNS problems.
1551
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
1556
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
1558
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
1560
* Partial workaround for difflib.unified_diff not handling
1561
trailing newlines properly.
1566
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
1569
* More tests in test.sh.
1571
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
1572
directory and delete it when done.
1574
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
1579
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
1582
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
1586
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
1590
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
1593
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
1595
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
1598
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
1601
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
1603
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
1607
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
1608
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
1613
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
1614
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
1619
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
1623
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
12847
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
