5
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
6
tree from some other url. For example:
7
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
12
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
13
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
16
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
17
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
22
* _KnitIndex.add_versions() dictionary compresses revision ids as they
23
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
24
them as full references rather than integers. (John Arbash Meinel,
27
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
28
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
30
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
32
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
33
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
35
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
36
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
38
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
39
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
40
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
41
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
43
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
44
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
45
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
47
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
48
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
50
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
51
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
52
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
53
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
54
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
60
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
61
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
64
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
68
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
69
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
70
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
71
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
73
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
74
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3. (Robert Collins)
76
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
78
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
79
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
80
server, then you can write over the http connection.
83
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
84
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
85
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
86
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
88
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
89
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
90
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
91
to allow modules to be loaded on request. (John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato
96
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
97
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
101
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
102
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
103
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
105
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
106
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
109
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
110
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
111
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
113
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
114
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
117
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
118
pass in inventory.ROOT_ID if you want the default root id value.
119
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
121
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
122
inventory out to disk. At the same time, read_working_inventory will
123
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
124
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
125
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
126
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
128
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
129
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
130
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
133
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
134
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
138
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
139
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
140
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
143
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
144
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
146
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
147
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
148
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
150
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
151
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
153
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
154
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
155
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
156
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
158
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
159
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
161
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
162
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
163
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
165
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
166
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
168
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
170
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
171
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
176
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
177
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
178
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
179
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
181
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
182
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
183
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
187
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
189
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
193
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
195
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
198
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
202
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
203
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
204
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
205
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
206
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
207
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
208
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
210
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
211
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
212
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
214
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
216
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
217
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
219
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
220
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
221
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
224
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
225
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
226
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
229
* Support bzr:// and bzr+ssh:// urls to work with the new RPC-based
230
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
231
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
232
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
235
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
236
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
237
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
242
* 'bzr inventory [FILE...]' allows restricting the file list to a
243
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
245
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
247
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
248
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
249
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
251
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
252
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
254
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
255
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
257
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
258
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
260
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
261
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
263
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
265
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
266
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
268
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
269
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
271
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
272
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
274
* Don't use preexec_fn on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
277
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
278
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
279
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
281
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
282
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
284
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
285
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
286
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
287
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
289
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
290
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
291
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
293
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
294
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
298
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
302
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
303
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
306
* run_bzr_subprocess() can take an optional 'env_changes={}' parameter,
307
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
308
take a 'universal_newlines=True', which helps when checking the output
309
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
311
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
314
* Transport.list_dir() and Transport.iter_files_recursive() should always
315
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
316
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
318
* New utility function symbol_versioning.deprecation_string. Returns the
319
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
321
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
322
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
323
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
325
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
326
.append_bytes, .append_file, .put_bytes, and .put_file. This removes the
327
ambiguity in what type of object the functions take.
328
Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file} has also been added. Which works
329
similarly to Transport.append() except for SFTP, it doesn't have a round
330
trip when opening the file. Also, it provides functionality for creating
331
a parent directory when trying to create a file, rather than raise
332
NoSuchFile and forcing the caller to repeat their request.
335
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
336
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
338
* WorkingTree.pending_merges is deprecated. Please use the get_parent_ids
339
(introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
341
* WorkingTree has a new lock_tree_write method which locks the branch for
342
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
343
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
344
needs_tree_write_lock is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
345
needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock decorators this allows static
346
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
347
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
349
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
350
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
351
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
352
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
353
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
354
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
355
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
356
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
359
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
360
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
361
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
363
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
364
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
366
* New methods mkdir and put_file_bytes_non_atomic on MutableTree that
367
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
369
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
370
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
374
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
375
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
377
* Add start_bzr_subprocess and stop_bzr_subprocess to allow test code to
378
continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr. (Andrew Bennetts,
381
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
382
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
383
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
388
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
389
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
391
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
392
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
393
the 'action' passed to smart_add_tree() can return file_ids that
394
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
395
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
397
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
398
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
399
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
401
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
402
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
404
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
405
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
406
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
410
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
412
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
413
lock_write() is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
414
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
416
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
418
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
420
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
421
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
422
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
423
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
425
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
426
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
427
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
428
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
429
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
431
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
432
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
434
* Use GPG_TTY to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
435
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
437
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
438
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
440
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
441
in handling of revision properties. (John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel,
444
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
445
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
449
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
450
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
451
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
452
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
455
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
456
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
457
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
463
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
464
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
465
~/.bazaar/ignore which will apply to every tree, and the tree
466
specific one '.bzrignore'.
467
~/.bazaar/ignore will be created if it does not exist, but with
468
a more conservative list than the old default.
469
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
470
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
471
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
472
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
474
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
475
to more locations than just branch locations.
480
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
481
revno:N:branch. For example,
482
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
483
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
485
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
486
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
487
the path of a file that has been versioned.
488
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
489
Branch.get_parent()/set_parent() now save a relative path if possible,
490
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
491
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
492
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
495
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
496
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
497
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
500
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
501
(Alexander Belchenko)
503
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
505
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
508
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
509
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
510
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
511
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
512
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
515
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
516
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
517
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
518
grained analysis of performance.
519
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
521
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
522
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
524
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
525
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
526
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
527
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
528
file. (Robert Collins).
530
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
531
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
532
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
534
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
535
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
538
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
539
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
541
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
542
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
543
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
544
the same way you would apply another branch.
545
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
547
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
548
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
550
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
553
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
556
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
557
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
558
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
560
* New env variable BZR_PROGRESS_BAR, sets the default progress bar type.
561
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
562
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
564
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
565
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
567
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
568
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
569
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
570
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
571
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
573
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
574
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
576
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
577
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
578
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
579
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
580
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
581
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
582
branch is as much as 4x faster.
583
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
585
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
586
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
587
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
591
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
592
tests not to run. (#32587, Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman,
595
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
596
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
598
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
599
in connecting to the remote location. (#49742, John Arbash Meinel)
601
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
602
(#45010, John Arbash Meinel)
604
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
606
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
609
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
610
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
612
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
613
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
616
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
617
push. (#52227, Aaron Bentley)
619
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
620
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
622
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
623
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
624
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
625
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
627
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
628
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
630
* Tuning iter_entries() to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
632
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
633
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
635
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
637
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
639
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
640
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
642
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
643
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
645
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
646
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
647
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
649
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
650
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
651
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
653
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
654
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
656
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
657
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
659
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
660
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
662
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
663
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
665
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
666
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
668
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
669
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
670
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
672
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
674
* Fix Branch.get_parent() to handle the case when the parent is not
675
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
679
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
680
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
681
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
683
* Appending to bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE is now deprecated. Instead, use
684
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
686
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
687
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
688
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
690
* bzrlib.delta.compare_trees now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
691
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
693
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
694
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
697
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
698
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
699
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
701
* Deprecate Repository.all_revision_ids; most methods don't really need
702
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
703
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
705
* Add a BzrDirFormat control_formats list which allows for control formats
706
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
707
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
709
* bzrlib.diff.external_diff can be redirected to any file-like object.
710
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
711
(#4047, #48914, James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel)
713
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
714
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
715
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
717
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use repository.revision_tree(None)
718
instead. (Robert Collins)
720
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
726
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
732
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
733
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
735
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
736
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
738
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
739
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
740
(#44443, Olaf Conradi)
744
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
746
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
747
(#44155, Olaf Conradi)
749
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (#44284, Olaf Conradi)
753
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
754
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
755
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
756
list of editors. (#42904, Olaf Conradi)
760
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
761
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
762
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
766
* New public api in InventoryEntry - 'describe_change(old, new)' which
767
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
768
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
772
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
773
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
777
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
779
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
780
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
781
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
782
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
783
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
784
will keep the same format.
786
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
787
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
788
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
789
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
790
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
792
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
793
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
794
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
795
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
796
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
797
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
798
indicating the current revision of the branch.
800
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
801
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
802
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
803
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
804
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
806
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
807
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
808
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
814
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
815
convention. Paths now take the form:
816
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
818
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
820
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
821
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
823
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
824
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
825
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
827
* The bzr_man.py file has been removed. To create the man page now,
828
use ./generate_docs.py man. The new program can also create other files.
829
Run "python generate_docs.py --help" for usage information. (Hans
830
Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
832
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell). Help also updated to
833
reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar (Hans Ulrich
836
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
838
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
840
* 'bzr re-sign' now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
841
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old commits.
842
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
843
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
846
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
848
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
849
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
850
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
853
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
855
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
857
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
860
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
861
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
863
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
864
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
867
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
868
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
871
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
873
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
875
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
876
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
878
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
879
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
880
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
881
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
882
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
883
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
885
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
887
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
888
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
891
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
892
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
894
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
895
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
897
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
899
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
900
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
901
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
902
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
903
specification by Martin Pool.
904
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
906
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
909
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
910
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
912
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
913
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
914
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
916
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
918
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
919
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
924
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
925
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
927
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (#5379, Matthew Fuller)
929
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (#35940, Martin Pool, Ian Bicking)
931
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
934
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
935
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
936
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
937
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
941
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
942
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
943
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
944
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
946
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
947
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
950
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
953
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
955
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, WorkingTree.create_standalone,
956
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see BzrDir.create_* for
957
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
959
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
960
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
962
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
963
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
964
paths. (Robert Collins)
966
* bzrlib.fetch.fetch and bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch are now deprecated,
967
please use 'branch.fetch' or 'repository.fetch' depending on your
968
needs. (Robert Collins)
970
* deprecated methods now have a 'is_deprecated' flag on them that can
971
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
972
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
974
* Progress bars are now nested - see
975
bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
977
* New API call get_format_description() for each type of format.
980
* Changed branch.set_parent() to accept None to remove parent.
983
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
985
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
987
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a bar_type parameter which
988
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
989
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
992
* New API method get_physical_lock_status() to query locks present on a
993
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
995
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
996
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
997
check. (Robert Collins)
999
* bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol now supports 'get_boolean' to prompt
1000
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
1004
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
1005
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
1007
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see bzrlib.
1008
tests.branch_implementations. This is analagous to the transport
1009
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
1010
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
1012
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
1013
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
1014
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
1015
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
1016
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
1018
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
1019
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
1020
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
1022
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
1024
* run_bzr and run_bzr_captured now accept a 'stdin="foo"' parameter which
1025
will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
1031
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
1032
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
1034
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
1035
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
1036
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
1039
* Under Windows configuration directory is now %APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0
1040
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
1042
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by BZR_HOME
1043
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in BZR_HOME, then
1044
in HOME. Under Windows the order is: BZR_HOME, APPDATA (usually
1045
points to C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data), HOME.
1046
(John Arbash Meinel)
1048
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
1049
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
1050
used. (Robert Collins)
1052
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
1053
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
1056
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
1057
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
1058
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
1060
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
1063
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
1064
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
1068
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
1069
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
1071
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
1073
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
1075
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
1076
tree. (Robert Collins)
1078
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
1079
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
1080
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
1083
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
1086
* Tweaks to short log printing
1088
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
1091
* If $BZR_PDB is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
1092
occurs. (Martin Pool)
1094
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
1095
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
1097
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
1098
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
1100
* Commit editor temporary files now start with 'bzr_log.', to allow
1101
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
1102
settings. (Magnus Therning)
1104
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
1105
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
1107
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
1108
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
1111
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
1112
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
1114
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
1115
(#3632, Matthieu Moy)
1117
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
1118
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
1120
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
1123
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
1124
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
1126
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
1127
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
1129
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
1130
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
1131
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
1135
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
1137
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
1139
* Error when run with -OO
1141
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
1144
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
1146
* Change status to 3 for all errors
1148
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
1149
ignored by diff and status
1151
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
1152
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
1154
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
1156
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
1158
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
1159
status' output. (#4503, Daniel Silverstone)
1161
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
1162
email address. (Marien Zwart)
1164
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages. (Harald
1167
* List of plugin directories in BZR_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable is
1168
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
1170
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
1172
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
1173
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
1175
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters. (Martin
1178
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list. (#6413, Tollef Fog
1181
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
1185
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
1186
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
1188
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
1190
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
1192
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
1194
* Updated build_tree to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
1195
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
1196
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
1198
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
1200
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
1201
(John Arbash Meinel)
1203
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
1205
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
1206
If adding a new test script please add that to
1207
bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__. (Robert Collins)
1209
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
1210
imported. (Martin Pool)
1212
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
1213
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
1214
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
1215
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
1216
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
1219
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
1220
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
1221
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
1223
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
1224
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
1225
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
1227
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
1228
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
1229
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
1230
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
1231
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
1234
* TestCase.build_tree uses the transport interface to build trees, pass
1235
in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
1240
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
1241
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
1243
* commands.display_command now returns the result of the decorated
1244
function. (Robert Collins)
1246
* LocationConfig now has a set_user_option(key, value) call to save
1247
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
1248
if needed). (Robert Collins)
1250
* Branch has two new methods, get_push_location and set_push_location
1251
to respectively, get and set the push location. (Robert Collins)
1253
* commands.register_command now takes an optional flag to signal that
1254
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
1255
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
1256
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
1257
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
1258
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
1259
version. (Robert Collins)
1261
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
1262
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
1264
* Branch.read_working_inventory has moved to
1265
WorkingTree.read_working_inventory. This necessitated changes to
1266
Branch.get_root_id, and a move of Branch.set_inventory to WorkingTree
1267
as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always be obtained
1268
Branch.working_tree() will raise 'errors.NoWorkingTree' if one cannot
1269
be obtained. (Robert Collins)
1271
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
1274
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree:
1282
* bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch is now smart_add_tree. (Robert Collins)
1284
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
1286
* Rename selftests to `bzrlib.tests.test_foo`. (John A Meinel, Martin
1289
* bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins has been changed from an attribute to a
1290
query method. (Robert Collins)
1292
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
1295
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
1298
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in cmd_pull().
1302
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
1303
is exposed as Branch().control_files. Also this has been altered with the
1304
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
1305
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
1307
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
1308
bzrlib.symbol_versioning module. Marked method have their docstring
1309
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
1310
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
1312
* bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode now exists to provide parameter coercion
1313
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
1319
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
1322
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
1326
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
1327
a separator, not ':'.
1330
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
1331
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
1332
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
1334
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
1335
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
1338
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
1339
has been added that suppresses all output.
1341
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
1344
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
1345
Goffredo Baroncelli.
1347
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
1348
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
1350
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
1351
a revision. (Robert Collins)
1353
* If you set check_signatures=require for a path in
1354
~/.bazaar/branches.conf then bzr will invoke your
1355
gpg_signing_command (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
1356
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
1358
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
1360
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
1361
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
1363
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
1364
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
1366
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
1367
output directory, if one was supplied.
1369
* If the option 'post_commit' is set to one (or more) python function
1370
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
1371
after the commit has completed, with the branch and revision_id as
1372
parameters. (Robert Collins)
1374
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
1376
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
1377
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
1379
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
1380
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
1381
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
1383
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
1384
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
1386
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
1389
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
1391
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
1395
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
1396
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
1397
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
1399
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
1400
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
1401
related questions. (Robert Collins)
1403
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
1404
is given. (Martin Pool)
1406
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
1407
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
1408
file. (Robert Collins)
1410
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
1415
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
1416
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
1417
representation. (Martin Pool).
1419
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
1420
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
1421
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
1423
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
1426
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
1427
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
1430
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
1431
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
1432
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
1433
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
1434
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
1436
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
1437
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
1438
import other plugins during the __init__ of your plugin though, as
1439
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
1440
python path. (Robert Collins)
1442
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
1443
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
1444
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
1445
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
1447
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
1448
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
1450
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
1451
lock_read, lock_write and unlock methods for convenience. (Robert
1454
* Two decorators, needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock have been added
1455
to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
1456
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
1458
* Branch.open_containing now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
1459
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
1460
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
1462
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
1463
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
1465
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as WorkingTree.pull().
1466
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
1467
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
1470
* config.Config has a 'get_user_option' call that accepts an option name.
1471
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
1472
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
1473
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
1476
* merge.merge_inner now has tempdir as an optional parameter. (Robert
1479
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
1480
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
1483
* WorkingTree.__del__ has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
1484
doing what it was intended to. See WorkingTree.__init__ for a comment
1485
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
1487
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
1488
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
1489
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
1491
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
1492
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
1493
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
1495
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
1496
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
1498
* 'merge_flex' no longer calls conflict_handler.finalize(), instead that
1499
is called by merge_inner. This is so that the conflict count can be
1500
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
1501
of merge_inner. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
1502
caller. (Robert Collins)
1504
* 'revision.revision_graph can handle having only partial history for
1505
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
1508
* New builtins.branch_files uses the standard file_list rules to produce
1509
a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch (Aaron Bentley)
1511
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
1513
* New bzrlib.version_info tuple (similar to sys.version_info), which can
1514
be used by programs importing bzrlib.
1518
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
1519
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
1521
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
1522
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
1525
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
1529
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
1530
allow directories to be listed.
1532
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
1533
upgrading branch format.
1537
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
1544
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
1545
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
1546
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
1547
high-latency connections.
1551
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
1554
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
1555
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
1557
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
1558
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
1559
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
1560
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
1562
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
1563
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
1565
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
1566
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
1568
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
1569
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
1570
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
1572
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
1573
for files with only a change to their executable status.
1574
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
1577
* HTTP tests now force off the use of http_proxy for the duration.
1578
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
1580
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
1581
different partial views of history.
1583
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
1584
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
1588
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
1589
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
1590
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
1592
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
1593
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
1596
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
1597
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
1599
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
1602
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
1603
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
1605
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
1606
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
1607
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
1608
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
1610
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
1612
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
1613
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
1616
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
1617
Contributed by Robert Collins.
1619
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
1620
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
1621
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
1626
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
1627
for your viewing pleasure.
1629
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
1630
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
1632
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
1633
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
1634
handling of such circumstances.
1639
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
1640
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
1642
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
1643
of tests to run, e.g. 'bzr selftest test_weave'
1646
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
1650
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
1652
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
1655
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
1657
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
1659
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
1660
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
1664
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
1665
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
1667
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
1668
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
1669
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
1670
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
1673
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
1674
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
1678
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
1680
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
1681
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
1684
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
1688
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
1689
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
1690
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
1691
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
1694
* Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default. Patch from
1697
* If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
1698
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
1699
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
1700
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
1701
for the operating system is still tried.
1703
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
1704
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
1705
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
1710
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
1714
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
1716
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
1719
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
1725
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
1727
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.

1734
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
6
1735
help with intelligent shell completion.
1737
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
1742
* Much better merge support.
1744
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
1745
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
11
1751
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
12
1752
mention revisions that are not present.
1754
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
1756
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
1758
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
1759
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
1764
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
1766
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
1767
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
1773
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
1774
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
