5
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
6
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
7
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
8
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
9
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
11
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
12
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
14
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
16
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
18
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
19
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
22
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
23
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
26
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
29
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
30
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
32
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
33
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
37
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
38
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
40
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
41
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
43
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
44
the repository (Robert Collins)
46
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
47
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
48
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
49
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
50
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
52
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
53
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
55
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
56
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
59
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
60
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
61
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
63
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
64
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
65
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
68
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
69
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
72
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
73
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
75
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
78
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
79
more robust against email mangling. (Aaron Bentley)
81
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
83
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
84
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
88
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
89
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
90
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
91
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
93
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
97
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
98
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
99
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
100
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
102
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
103
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
104
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
105
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
106
tests have been refactored too.
109
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
110
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
111
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
115
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
116
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
117
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
119
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
120
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
121
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
122
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
123
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
124
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
125
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
127
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
128
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
129
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
130
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
133
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
134
functionality for testing.
136
* New ``file_names.FileNames`` support class which mananges names
137
for unlistable transport situations. (Robert Collins)
139
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
141
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
142
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
144
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
146
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
149
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
150
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
152
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
153
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
154
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
158
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
159
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
160
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
162
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
163
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
170
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
173
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
177
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
178
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
180
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
181
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
182
(James Westby, #122656)
184
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
185
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
187
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
188
authentication header.
189
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
191
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
193
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
194
Windows. (Martin_, #119330)
196
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
198
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
199
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
201
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
202
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
203
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
205
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
206
individually and as part of revision ranges.
209
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
210
(Martin Pool, #109169)
212
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
213
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
215
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
216
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
218
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
220
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
224
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
225
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
226
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
227
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
228
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
229
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
231
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
232
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
233
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
235
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
238
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
239
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
241
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
242
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
244
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
245
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
247
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
248
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
249
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
250
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
251
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
253
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
254
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
256
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
257
can be slow it is useful feedback).
258
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
260
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
261
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
263
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
265
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
266
output. (Aaron Bentley)
268
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
269
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
272
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
275
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
276
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
278
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
279
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
281
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
282
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
284
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
286
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
287
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
289
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
295
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
296
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
297
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
298
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
299
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
300
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.

``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
302
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
303
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
304
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
305
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
306
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
307
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
308
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
309
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
310
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
311
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
314
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
316
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
317
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
318
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
320
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
321
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
323
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
324
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
326
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
328
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
329
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
330
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
331
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
332
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
333
same location. (Robert Collins)
337
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
339
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
341
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
343
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
346
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
349
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
350
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
351
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
353
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
355
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
356
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
357
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
359
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
360
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
362
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
363
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
364
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
366
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
367
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
368
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
370
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
371
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
372
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
374
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
375
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
378
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
379
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
381
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
382
(Alexander Belchenko)
386
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
387
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
388
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
389
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
391
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
392
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
393
testing. (Robert Collins)
395
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
396
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
398
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
399
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
400
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
401
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
402
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
403
attribute during the test parameterisation in
404
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
406
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
407
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
408
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
409
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
411
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
412
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
414
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
415
avoid useless cloning.
416
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
423
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
424
(Colin Watson, #120647)
426
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.
427
(Aaron Bentley, Ian Clatworthy, #120930)

bzr 0.17rc1 2007-06-12
432
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
434
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
435
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
436
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
437
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
438
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
439
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
440
and unlock() like so::
442
work_tree.lock_read()
444
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
449
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
450
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
452
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
453
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
454
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
456
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
457
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
458
too. (Robert Collins)
462
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
463
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
466
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
469
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
470
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
472
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
473
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
474
understanding what changes have occurred
475
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
477
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
478
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
479
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
481
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
482
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
483
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
484
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
486
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
491
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
492
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
493
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
494
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
495
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
497
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
498
based on split paths, not just string paths.
499
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
501
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
502
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
504
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
506
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
508
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
509
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
511
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
512
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
514
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
515
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
517
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
518
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
520
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
521
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
523
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
524
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
525
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
531
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
532
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
533
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
534
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
535
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
537
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
538
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
539
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
541
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
542
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
546
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
547
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
548
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
550
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
551
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
552
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
553
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
555
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
559
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
560
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
561
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
562
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
564
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
565
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
566
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
568
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
569
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
571
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
572
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
574
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
575
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
577
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
579
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
581
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
582
it could be recovered again.
583
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
584
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
585
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
587
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
589
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
590
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
594
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
595
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
597
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
598
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
599
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
600
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
602
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
603
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
605
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
606
tests with names that match that regular expression.
607
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
609
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
610
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
611
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
613
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
614
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
615
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
617
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
618
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
621
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
624
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
625
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
626
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
627
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
629
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
632
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
633
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
634
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
637
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
638
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
640
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
641
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
643
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
644
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
645
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
646
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
649
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
650
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
652
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
653
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
655
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
656
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
657
(Robert Collins, #107125).
659
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
660
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
661
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
663
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
664
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
665
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
667
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
668
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
669
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
670
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
672
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
673
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
674
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
675
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
677
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
678
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
679
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
680
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
681
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
682
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
683
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
684
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
690
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
691
code paths. (Robert Collins)
693
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
694
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
695
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
696
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
697
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
699
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
700
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
702
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
703
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
705
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
706
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
708
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
709
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
711
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
712
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
713
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
716
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
717
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
718
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
719
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
720
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
723
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
724
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
725
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
727
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
728
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
731
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
732
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
733
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
736
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
737
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
738
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
739
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
740
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
742
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
743
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
744
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
745
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
747
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
748
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
750
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
751
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
752
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
753
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
754
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
755
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
757
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
758
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
760
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
761
help. (Robert Collins)
763
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
764
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
766
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
767
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
768
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
769
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
772
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
773
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
774
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
775
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
776
useful. (Robert Collins)
778
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
783
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
784
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
786
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
787
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
789
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
790
properly and is no longer beneficial.
791
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
793
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
796
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
797
the file, and does it faster.
798
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
800
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
801
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
802
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
804
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
805
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
806
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
807
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
809
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
810
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
811
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
812
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
814
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
815
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
817
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
818
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
819
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
820
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
823
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
825
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
826
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
828
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
829
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
831
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
832
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
833
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
834
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
838
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
839
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
843
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
844
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
845
in running it. (Robert Collins)
847
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
848
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
850
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
851
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
852
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
853
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
854
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
855
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
856
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
857
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
859
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
860
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
861
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
863
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
864
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
865
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
866
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
867
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
869
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
871
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
872
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
873
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
875
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
876
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
883
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
886
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
887
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
890
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
894
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
895
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
900
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
901
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
902
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
903
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
904
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
905
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
906
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
907
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
912
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
913
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
914
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
916
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
917
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
920
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
921
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
924
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
925
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
926
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
927
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
928
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
932
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
935
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
936
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
938
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
939
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
941
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
942
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
943
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
945
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
946
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
948
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
949
last-changed-revision for directories. The
950
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
951
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
952
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
954
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
955
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
956
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
958
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
961
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
963
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
965
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
966
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
967
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
971
5
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
