Compatibility Breaks
13
********************
14
15
* ``bzr ls`` is no longer recursive by default. To recurse, use the
16
new ``-R`` option. The old ``--non-recursive`` option has been removed.
17
If you alias ``ls`` to ``ls -R``, you can disable recursion using
18
``--no-recursive`` instead. (Ian Clatworthy)
19

New Features
21
************
22
23
* Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two revisions
24
introduce the exact same line. See ``bzrlib.annotate._break_annotation_tie``
25
Be aware though that this is temporary, private (as indicated by the leading
26
'_') and a first step to address the problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #348459)
27
28
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
29
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
30
(Jelmer Vernooij)
31
32
Improvements
33
************
34
35
* ``--coverage`` works for code running in threads too.
36
(Andrew Bennets, Vincent Ladeuil)
37
38
Bug Fixes
39
*********
40
41
* Adding now works properly when path contains a symbolic link.
42
(Geoff Bache, #183831)
43
44
* ``bzr merge --weave`` will now generate a conflict if one side deletes a
45
line, and the other side modifies the line. (John Arbash Meinel, #328171)
46
47
* ``bzr send`` works to send emails again using MAPI.
48
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #346998)
49
50
* Check for missing parent inventories in StreamSink. This prevents
51
incomplete stacked branches being created by 1.13 bzr:// and
52
bzr+ssh:// clients (which have bug #354036). Instead, the server now
53
causes those clients to send the missing records. (Andrew Bennetts)
54
55
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
56
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
57
58
* Fix a bug in the pure-python ``GroupCompress`` code when handling copies
59
longer than 64KiB. (John Arbash Meinel, #364900)
60
61
* Fix TypeError in running ``bzr break-lock`` on some URLs.
62
(Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #365891)
63
64
* Non-recursive ``bzr ls`` now works properly when a path is specified.
65
(Jelmer Vernooij, #357863)
66
67
* ssh usernames (defined in ~/.ssh/config) are honoured for bzr+ssh connections.
68
(Vincent Ladeuil, #367726)
69
70
* Several bugs related to unicode symlinks have been fixed and the test suite
71
enhanced to better catch regressions for them. (Vincent Ladeuil)
72
73
Documentation
74
*************
75
76
API Changes
77
***********
78
79
* ``InterPackRepo.fetch`` and ``RepoFetcher`` now raise ``NoSuchRevision``
80
instead of ``InstallFailed`` when they detect a missing revision.
81
``InstallFailed`` itself has been deleted. (Jonathan Lange)
82
83
Internals
84
*********
85
86
* ``bzrlib.branch.Branch.set_parent`` is now present on the base branch
87
class and will call ``_set_parent_location`` after doing unicode
88
encoding. (Robert Collins)
89
90
* ``bzrlib.remote.RemoteBranch._set_parent_location`` will use a new verb
91
``Branch.set_parent_location`` removing further VFS operations.
92
(Robert Collins)
93
94
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir._get_config`` now returns a ``TransportConfig``
95
or similar when the dir supports configuration settings. The base class
96
defaults to None. There is a matching new server verb
97
``BzrDir.get-config_file`` to reduce roundtrips for getting BzrDir
98
configuration. (Robert Collins)
99
100
* ``bzrlib.tests.ExtendedTestResult`` has new methods ``startTests``
101
called before the first test is started, ``done`` called after the last
102
test completes, and a new parameter ``strict``. (Robert Collins)
103
104
* -Dlock when passed to the selftest (e.g. ``bzr -Dlock selftest``) will
105
cause mismatched physical locks to cause test errors rather than just
106
reporting to the screen. (Robert Collins)
107
108
* Fallback ``CredentialStore`` instances registered with ``fallback=True``
109
are now be able to provide credentials if obtaining credentials
110
via ~/.bazaar/authentication.conf fails. (Jelmer Vernooij,
111
Vincent Ladeuil, #321918)
112
113
* New smart server verb ``BzrDir.initialize_ex`` which implements a
114
refactoring to the core of clone allowing less round trips on new
115
branches. (Robert Collins)
116
117
* New method ``Tags.rename_revisions`` that can rename revision ids tags
118
are pointing at. (Jelmer Vernooij)
119
120
* Updated the bundled ``ConfigObj`` library to 4.6.0 (Matt Nordhoff)

*******************************
149
150
* Fix for bug 358037 Revision not in
151
bzrlib.groupcompress.GroupCompressVersionedFiles (Brian de Alwis,
152
John A Meinel)
153
154
* Fix for bug 354036 ErrorFromSmartServer - AbsentContentFactory object has no
155
attribute 'get_bytes_as' exception while pulling from Launchpad
156
(Jean-Francois Roy, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
157
158
* Fix for bug 355280 eol content filters are never loaded and thus never
159
applied (Brian de Alwis, Ian Clatworthy)
160
161
* bzr.dev -r4280 Change _fetch_uses_deltas = False for CHK repos until we can
162
write a better fix. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins)
163
164

165
(Marius Kruger, Ian Clatworthy)
166
167
* bzr.dev r4289 as cherrypicked at lp:~spiv/bzr/stacking-cherrypick-1.14
168
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
169
170
Compatibility Breaks
171
********************
172
173
* A previously disabled code path to accelerate getting configuration
174
settings from a smart server has been reinstated. We think this *may*
175
cause a incompatibility with servers older than bzr 0.15. We intend
176
to issue a point release to address this if it turns out to be a
177
problem. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
178
179
* bzr no longer autodetects nested trees as 'tree-references'. They
180
must now be explicitly added tree references. At the commandline, use
181
join --reference instead of add. (Aaron Bentley)
182
183
* The ``--long`` log format (the default) no longer shows merged
184
revisions implicitly, making it consistent with the ``short`` and
185
``line`` log formats. To see merged revisions for just a given
186
revision, use ``bzr log -n0 -rX``. To see every merged revision,
187
use ``bzr log -n0``. (Ian Clatworthy)
188
189
New Features
190
************
191
192
* New formats ``1.14`` and ``1.14-rich-root`` supporting End-Of-Line
193
(EOL) conversions, keyword templating (via the bzr-keywords plugin)
194
and generic content filtering. These formats replace the experimental
195
``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root`` formats
196
respectively, but have support for filtered views disabled.
197
(Ian Clatworthy)
198
199
* New ``mv --auto`` option recognizes renames after they occur.
200
(Aaron Bentley)
201
202
* ``bzr`` can now get passwords from stdin without requiring a controlling
203
terminal (i.e. by redirecting stdin). (Vincent Ladeuil)
204
205
* ``bzr log`` now supports filtering of multiple files and directories
206
and will show changes that touch any of them. Furthermore,
207
directory filtering now shows the changes to any children of that
208
directory, not just the directory object itself.
209
(Ian Clatworthy, #97715)
210
211
* ``bzr shelve`` can now apply changes without storing anything on the
212
shelf, via the new --destroy option. (Aaron Bentley)
213
214
* ``bzr send`` now accepts --body to specify an initial message body.
215
(Aaron bentley)
216
217
* ``bzr xxx --usage`` where xxx is a command now shows a usage
218
message and the options without the descriptive help sections
219
(like Description and Examples). A message is also given
220
explaining how to see the complete help, i.e. ``bzr help xxx``.
221
(Ian Clatworthy)
222
223
* Content filters can now be used to provide custom conversion
224
between the canonical format of content (i.e. as stored) and
225
the convenience format of content (i.e. as created in working
226
trees). See ``bzr help content-filters`` for further details.
227
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
228
229
* End-of-line conversion is now supported for formats supporting
230
content filtering. See ``bzr help eol`` for details.
231
(Ian Clatworthy)
232
233
* Newly-blessed `join` command allows combining two trees into one.
234
(Aaron Bentley)
235
236
Improvements
237
************
238
239
* A new format name alias ``default-rich-root`` has been added and
240
points at the closest relative of the default format that supports
241
rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #338061)
242
243
* Branching from a stacked branch using ``bzr*://`` will now stream
244
the data when the target repository does not need topological
245
ordering, reducing round trips and network overhead. This uses the
246
existing smart server methods added in 1.13, so will work on any
247
1.13 or newer server. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
248
249
* ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr export`` now supports a ``--filters`` option
250
that displays/saves the content after content filters are applied.
251
(Ian Clatworthy)
252
253
* ``bzr ignore`` gives a more informative message when existing
254
version controlled files match the ignore pattern. (Neil
255
Martinsen-Burrell, #248895)
256
257
* ``bzr log`` now has ``--include-merges`` as an alias for ``--levels 0``.
258
(Ian Clatworthy)
259
260
* ``bzr send`` is faster on repositories with deep histories.
261
(Ian Clatworthy)
262
263
* IPv6 literals are accepted in URLs.
264
(stlman, Martin Pool, Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
265
266
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
267
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
268
269
* Prompt for user names if they are not in the configuration.
270
(Jelmer Vernooij, #256612)
271
272
* Pushing to a stacked pack-format branch on a 1.12 or older smart server
273
now takes many less round trips. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins,
274
#294479)
275
276
* Streaming push can be done to older repository formats. This is
277
implemented using a new ``Repository.insert_stream_locked`` RPC.
278
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
279
280
* The "ignoring files outside view: .." message has been re-worded
281
to "Ignoring files outside view. View is .." to reduce confusion
282
about what was being considered and what was being ignored.
283
(Ian Clatworthy)
284
285
* The ``long`` log formatter now shows [merge] indicators. If
286
only one level of revisions is displayed and merges are found,
287
the ``long`` and ``short`` log formatters now tell the user
288
how to see the hidden merged revisions. (Ian Clatworthy)
289
290
* The ``brisbane-core`` project has delivered its beta format
291
``development6-rich-root``. This format is suitable for judicious
292
testing by early adopters. In particular if you are benchmarking bzr
293
performance please be sure to test using this format. At this stage
294
more information is best obtained by contacting the Bazaar mailing list
295
or IRC channel if you are interested in using this format. We will make
296
end user documentation available closer to blessing the format as
297
production ready. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Ian Clatworthy,
298
Vincent Ladeuil, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
299
300
* Tildes are no longer escaped. No more %7Euser/project/branch!
301
(Jonathan Lange)
302
303
Bug Fixes
304
*********
305
306
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
307
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
308
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
309
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
310
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
311
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
312
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
313
314
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
315
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
316
317
* Authentication plugins now receive all the parameters from the request
318
itself (aka host, port, realm, path, etc). Previously, only the
319
authentication section name, username and encoded password were
320
provided. (Jean-Francois Roy)
321
322
* bzr gives a better message if an invalid regexp is passed to ``bzr log
323
-m``. (Anne Mohsen, Martin Pool)
324
325
* ``bzr split`` now says "See also: join" (Aaron Bentley, #335015)
326
327
* ``bzr version-info`` now works in empty branches. (Jelmer Vernooij,
328
#313028)
329
330
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
331
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
332
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
333
334
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
335
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
336
337
* Fix 'make check-dist-tarball' failure by converting paths to unicode when
338
needed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355454)
339
340
* Fixed "Specified file 'x/y/z' is outside current view: " occurring
341
on ``bzr add x/y/z`` in formats supporting views when no view is
342
defined. (Ian Clatworthy, #344708)
343
344
* It is no longer possible to fetch between repositories while the
345
target repository is in a write group. This prevents race conditions
346
that prevent the use of RPC's to perform fetch, and thus allows
347
optimising more operations. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
348
349
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
350
351
* No more warnings are issued about ``sha`` being deprecated under python-2.6.
352
(Vincent Ladeuil, #346593)
353
354
* Pushing a new branch to a server that has a stacking policy will now
355
upgrade from the local branch format when the stacking policy points at
356
a branch which is itself stackable, because we know the client can read
357
both branches, we know that the trunk for the project can be read too,
358
so the upgrade will not inconvenience users. (Robert Collins, #345169)
359
360
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
361
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
362
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
363
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
364
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
365
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
366
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
367
368
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX. Several minor issues (mostly
369
test related) have been fixed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355273).
370
371
* The GNU Changelog formatter is slightly improved in the case where
372
the delta is empty, and now correctly claims not to support tags.
373
(Andrea Bolognani)
374
375
* Shelve can now shelve changes to a symlink target.
376
(James Westby, #341558)
377
378
* The help for the ``info`` command has been corrected.
379
(Ian Clatworthy, #351931)
380
381
* Upgrade will now use a sensible default format if the source repository
382
uses rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #252908)
383
384
Documentation
385
*************
386
387
* Expanded the index of the developer documentation. (Eric Siegerman)
388
389
* New topic `bzr help debug-flags`. (Martin Pool)
390
391
* The generated manpage now explicitly lists aliases as commands.
392
(James Westby, #336998)
393
394
API Changes
395
***********
396
397
* APIs deprecated in 1.6 and previous versions of bzr are now removed.
398
(Martin Pool)
399
400
* ``CommitReporter`` is no longer called with ``unchanged`` status during
401
commit - this was a full-tree overhead that bzr no longer performs.
402
(Robert Collins)
403
404
* New abstract ``UIFactory`` method ``get_username`` which will be called to
405
obtain the username to use when connecting to remote machines.
406
(Jelmer Vernooij)
407
408
* New API ``Inventory.filter()`` added that filters an inventory by
409
a set of file-ids so that only those fileids, their parents and
410
their children are included. (Ian Clatworthy)
411
412
* New sort order for ``get_record_stream`` ``groupcompress`` which
413
sorts optimally for use with groupcompress compressors. (John Arbash
414
Meinel, Robert Collins)
415
416
* Repository APIs ``get_deltas_for_revisions()`` and
417
``get_revision_delta()`` now support an optional ``specific_fileids``
418
parameter. If provided, the deltas are filtered so that only those
419
file-ids, their parents and their children are included.
420
(Ian Clatworthy)
421
422
* The ``get_credentials`` and ``set_credentials`` methods of
423
``AuthenticationConfig`` now accept an optional realm argument.
424
(Jean-Francois Roy)
425
426
* The ``pb`` argument to ``fetch()`` is deprecated.
427
(Martin Pool)
428
429
* The ``Serializer`` class and the serializer ``format registry`` have moved
430
from ``bzrlib.xml_serializer`` to ``bzrlib.serializer``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
431
432
* The smart server jail now hooks into BzrDir.open to prevent any BzrDir
433
that is not inside the backing transport from being opened. See the
434
module documentation for ``bzrlib.smart.request`` for details.
435
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
436
437
* ``Tree.get_symlink_target`` now always returns a unicode string result
438
or None. Previously it would return the bytes from reading the link
439
which could be in any arbitrary encoding. (Robert Collins)
440
441
Testing
442
*******
443
444
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now fails the test if its own ``setUp``
445
and ``tearDown`` weren't called. This catches faulty tests that
446
forget to upcall when overriding ``setUp`` and ``tearDown``. Those
447
faulty tests were not properly isolated.
448
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
449
450
* Fix test_msgeditor.MsgEditorTest test isolation.
451
(Vincent Ladeuil, #347130)
452
453
* ``medusa`` is not used anymore as an FTP test server starting with
454
python2.6. A new FTP test server based on ``pyftplib`` can be used
455
instead. This new server is a soft dependency as medusa which is still
456
preferred if both are available (modulo python version).

*********
461
462
* Added ``chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string maps.
463
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
464
465
* Added ``bzrlib.chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string
466
maps. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
467
468
* Added ``bzrlib.inventory_delta`` module. This will be used for
469
serializing and deserializing inventory deltas for more efficient
470
streaming on the the network. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
471
472
* ``Branch._get_config`` has been added, which splits out access to the
473
specific config file from the branch. This is used to let RemoteBranch
474
avoid constructing real branch objects to access configuration settings.
475
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
476
477
* ``Branch`` now implements ``set_stacked_on_url`` in the base class as
478
the implementation is generic and should impact foreign formats. This
479
helps performance for ``RemoteBranch`` push operations to new stacked
480
branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
481
482
* ``BtreeIndex._spill_mem_keys_to_disk()`` now generates disk index with
483
optmizations turned off. This only has effect when processing > 100,000
484
keys during something like ``bzr pack``. (John Arbash Meinel)
485
486
* ``bzr selftest`` now accepts ``--subunit`` to run in subunit output
487
mode. Requires ``lp:subunit`` installed to work, but is not a hard
488
dependency. (Robert Collins)
489
490
* ``BzrDir.open_branch`` now takes an optional ``ignore_fallbacks``
491
parameter for controlling opening of stacked branches.
492
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
493
494
* ``CommitBuilder`` has a new method, ``record_iter_changes`` which works
495
in terms of an iter_changes iterator rather than full tree scanning.
496
(Robert Collins)
497
498
* ``DirState`` can now be passed a custom ``SHA1Provider`` object
499
enabling it to store the SHA1 and stat of the canonical (post
500
content filtered) form. (Ian Clatworthy)
501
502
* New ``assertLength`` method based on one Martin has squirreled away
503
somewhere. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
504
505
* New hook ``BzrDir.pre_open`` which runs before opening ``BzrDir``
506
objects, allowing better enforcement of the smart server jail when
507
dealing with stacked branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
508
509
* New hook ``RioVersionInfoBuilder.revision``, allowing extra entries
510
to be added to the stanza that is printed for a particular revision.
511
(Jelmer Vernooij)
512
513
* New repository method ``refresh_data`` to cause any repository to
514
make visible data inserted into the repository by a smart server
515
fetch operation. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
516
517
* ``register_filter_stack_map`` now takes an optional fallback parameter,
518
a callable to invoke if a preference has a value not in the map
519
of filter stacks. This enhancement allows, for example, bzr-svn to
520
handle existing svn properties that define a list of keywords to be
521
expanded. (Ian Clatworthy)
522
523
* ``RemoteBranchConfig`` will use a new verb ``Branch.set_config_option``
524
to write config settings to smart servers that support this, saving
525
5 round trips on the stacked streaming acceptance test.
526
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
527
528
* ``RemoteBranch`` now provides ``_get_config`` for access to just the
529
branch specific configuration from a remote server, which uses the
530
already existing ``Branch.get_config_file`` smart verb.
531
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
532
533
* ``RemoteRepository`` will now negatively cache missing revisions during
534
``get_parent_map`` while read-locked. Write-locks are unaffected.
535
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
536
537
* Removed ``InterRemoteToOther``, ``InterOtherToRemote`` and
538
``InterPackToRemotePack`` classes, as they are now unnecessary.
539
(Andrew Bennetts)
540
541
* ``RepositoryFormat`` as a new attribute ``fast_deltas`` to indicate
542
whether the repository can efficiently generate deltas between trees
543
regardless of tree size. (Robert Collins)
544
545
* ``Repository.iter_files_bytes()`` now properly returns an "iterable of
546
byte strings" (aka 'chunked') for the content. It previously was
547
returning a plain string, which worked, but performed very poorly when
548
building a working tree (file.writelines(str) is very inefficient). This
549
can have a large effect on ``bzr checkout`` times. (John Arbash Meinel)
550
551
* selftest now supports a --parallel option, with values of 'fork' or
552
'subprocess' to run the test suite in parallel. Currently only linux
553
machine work, other platforms need patches submitted. (Robert Collins,
554
Vincent Ladeuil)
555
556
* ``tests.run_suite`` has a new parameter ``suite_decorators``, a list of
557
callables to use to decorate the test suite. Such decorators can add or
558
remove tests, or even remote the test suite to another machine if
559
desired. (Robert Collins)
560
561
* The smart server verb ``Repository.get_parent_map`` can now include
562
information about ghosts when the special revision ``include-missing:``
563
is in the requested parents map list. With this flag, ghosts are
564
included as ``missing:REVISION_ID``. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
565
566
* ``_walk_to_common_revisions`` will now batch up at least 50
567
revisions before calling ``get_parent_map`` on the target,
568
regardless of ``InterRepository``.

Changes From 1.13.1 to 1.13.2
585
*****************************
586
587
A regression was found in the 1.13.1 release. When bzr 1.13.1 and earlier push
588
a stacked branch they do not take care to push all the parent inventories for
589
the transferred revisions. This means that a smart server serving that branch
590
often cannot calculate inventory deltas for the branch (because smart server
591
does not/cannot open fallback repositories). Prior to 1.13 the server did not
592
have a verb to stream revisions out of a repository, so that's why this bug has
593
appeared now.

New Features
642
************
643
644
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
645
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
646
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
647
648
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
649
(Martin Pool)
650
651
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
652
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
653
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
654
(Ian Clatworthy)
655
656
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``.
657
(Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool)
658
659
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
660
(John Arbash Meinel)
661
662
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
663
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
664
665
* New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer Vernoij)
666
667
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
668
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
669
(Jonathan Lange)
670
671
* New API for getting bugs fixed by a revision: Revision.iter_bugs().
672
(Jonathan Lange)

674
Improvements
675
************
676
677
* All bzr ``Hooks`` classes are now registered in
678
``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks``. This removes the separate list from
679
``bzrlib.tests`` and ensures that all hooks registered there are
680
correctly isolated by the test suite (previously
681
``MutableTreeHooks`` were not being isolated correctly). Further,
682
documentation for hooks is now dynamically generated from the
683
present HookPoints. ``bzr hooks`` will now also report on all the
684
hooks present in the ``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks`` registry.
685
(Robert Collins)
686
687
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
688
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
689
690
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
691
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
692
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
693
694
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
695
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
696
697
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
698
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
699
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
700
(Ian Clatworthy)
701
702
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
703
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
704
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
705
706
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
707
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
708
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
709
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
710
711
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
712
(Jelmer Vernooij)
713
714
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
715
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
716
717
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
718
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
719
720
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
721
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
722
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
723
724
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)

726
Bug Fixes
727
*********
728
729
* Allows ``bzr log <FILE>`` to be called in an empty branch without
730
backtracing. (Vincent Ladeuil, #346431)
731
732
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
733
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
734
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
735
736
* ``bzr cat -r<old> <path>`` doesn't traceback anymore when <path> has a
737
file id in the working tree different from the one in revision <old>.
738
(Vincent Ladeuil, #341517, #253806)
739
740
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
741
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
742
743
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
744
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
745
Vernooij, #315048)
746
747
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
748
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
749
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
750
751
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
752
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
753
754
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
755
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
756
757
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
758
(James Westby, #174539)
759
760
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
761
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
762
763
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
764
error branching from old repositories.
765
(Martin Pool, #321695)
766
767
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
768
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
769
770
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
771
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
772
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
773
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
774
775
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
776
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko,
777
#334808)
778
779
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
780
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
781
782
* Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported.
783
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444)
784
785
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
786
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
787
when needed. (Vincent Ladeuil)
788
789
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
790
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
791
792
* shelve cleans up properly when unversioned files are specified.
793

summarizing some common ways of organizing trees, branches and
800
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
801
(Ian Clatworthy)
802
803
* Hooks can now be self documenting. ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook``
804
is the entry point for this feature. (Robert Collins)
805
806
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.

API Changes
810
***********
811
812
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
813
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
814
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
815
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
816
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
817
818
* ``bzrlib.branch.PushResult`` was renamed to
819
``bzrlib.branch.BranchPushResult``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
820
821
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
822
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
823
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
824
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
825
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
826
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
827
828
* ``Inventory.apply_delta`` now raises an AssertionError if a file-id
829
appears multiple times within the delta. (Ian Clatworthy)
830
831
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
832
"author" argument being deprecated.
833
834
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
835
836
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
837
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
838
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
839
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
840
841
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
842
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
843
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
844
845
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
846
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
847
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
848
849
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
850
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
851
852
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
853
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
854
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
855
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
856
857
Internals
858
*********
859
860
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
861
free of virtual file system methods.
862
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
863
864
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
865
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
866
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
867
868
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
869
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
870
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
871
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
872
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
873
(Robert Collins, #334187)
874
875
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
876
877
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
878
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
879
880
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
881
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
882
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
883
stream the operation.

* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
887
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
888
889
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
890
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
891
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
892
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
893
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
894
895
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
896
branch object. (Robert Collins)
897
898
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
899
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
900
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
901
902
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
903
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
904
(Robert Collins)
905
906
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
907
(Robert Collins)
908
909
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
910
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
911
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
912
913
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
914
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
915
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
916
917
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
918
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
919
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
920
921
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
922
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
923
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
924
925
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
926
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
927
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
928
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
929
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
930
931
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
932
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
933
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
934
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
935
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
936
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
937
938
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
939
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
940
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
941
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
942
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
943
944
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
945
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
946
947
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
948
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
949
950
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
951
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
952
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
953
to access private data in record to obtain content more
954
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
955
956
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
957
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.

968
This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
969
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
970
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
971
progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and
972
by showing the rate of network IO.
973
974
Changes from RC1 to Final
975
*************************
976
977
* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
978
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
979
980
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
981
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)
982
983
Compatibility Breaks
984
********************
985
986
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
987
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
988
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
989
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
990
991
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
992
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
993
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
994
(Ian Clatworthy)
995
996
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
997
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
998
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
999
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1000
1001
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
1002
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
1003
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.
1004
(Ian Clatworthy)
1005
1006
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1007
1008
New Features
1009
************
1010
1011
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
1012
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
1013
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
1014
(Marius Kruger)
1015
1016
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
1017
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
1018
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
1019
1020
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
1021
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
1022
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
1023
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
1024
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
1025
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
1026
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
1027
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
1028
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
1029
(Ian Clatworthy)
1030
1031
Improvements
1032
************
1033
1034
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
1035
(Daniel Watkins)
1036
1037
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
1038
(Marius Kruger)
1039
1040
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
1041
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
1042
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
1043
1044
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
1045
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
1046
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
1047
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
1048
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
1049
1050
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
1051
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
1052
1053
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
1054
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
1055
level for better precision.
1056
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1057
1058
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
1059
rules. (Marius Kruger)
1060
1061
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
1062
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
1063
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
1064
1065
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
1066
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
1067
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
1068
(Andrew Bennetts)
1069
1070
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
1071
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
1072
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)
1073
1074
Bug Fixes
1075
*********
1076
1077
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
1078
anymore.
1079
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
1080
1081
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
1082
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
1083
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
1084
1085
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
1086
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
1087
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
1088
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
1089
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
1090
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
1091
1092
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
1093
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
1094
1095
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
1096
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
1097
1098
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
1099
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
1100
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
1101
1102
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
1103
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
1104
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
1105
(Andrew Bennetts)
1106
1107
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
1108
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
1109
1110
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
1111
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
1112
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
1113
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
1114
1115
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
1116
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
1117
handled.
1118
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
1119
1120
* Unshelve now handles deleted paths without crashing. (Robert Collins)
1121
1122

1123
*************
1124
1125
* Improved plugin developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
1126
1127
API Changes
1128
***********
1129
1130
* ``ProgressBarStack`` is deprecated; instead use
1131
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` to create new progress bars.
1132
(Martin Pool)
1133
1134
* ForeignVcsMapping() now requires a ForeignVcs object as first
1135
argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1136
1137
* ForeignVcsMapping.show_foreign_revid() has been moved to
1138
ForeignVcs. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1139
1140
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` is deprecated in favor of
1141
``read_mergeable_from_url``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1142
1143
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
1144
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
1145
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
1146
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
1147
1148
* The progress and UI classes have changed; the main APIs remain the
1149
same but code that provides a new UI or progress bar class may
1150
need to be updated. (Martin Pool)
1151
1152
Internals
1153
*********
1154
1155
* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb
1156
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
1157
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
1158
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
1159
compile buffers, are such an example).
1160
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1161
1162
* New API ``Branch.iter_merge_sorted_revisions()`` that iterates over
1163
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
1164
(Ian Clatworthy)
1165
1166
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
1167
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
1168
efficient way of doing the mapping.
1169
(Ian Clatworthy)
1170
1171
* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
1172
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)
1173
1174
* ``TreeDelta.show()`` now accepts a ``filter`` parameter allowing log
1175
formatters to retrict the output.

##############################
1181
1182
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
1183
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
1184
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
1185
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
1186
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
1187
1188
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
1189
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
1190
advice.
1191
1192
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
1193
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.

*******
1211
1212
* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
1213
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
1214
1215
New Features
1216
************
1217
1218
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
1219
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
1220
1221
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
1222
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
1223
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
1224
implement other plugins.
1225
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1226
1227
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
1228
(Aaron Bentley)

1230
Improvements
1231
************
1232
1233
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
1234
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
1235
1236
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
1237
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
1238
1239
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
1240
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
1241
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
1242
processes which drag in shell extensions.
1243
(Mark Hammond)
1244
1245
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
1246
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
1247
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
1248
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
1249
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
1250
1251
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
1252
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
1253
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
1254
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
1255
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)
1256
1257
Bug Fixes
1258
*********
1259
1260
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
1261
control directory. (#139691)
1262
1263
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
1264
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
1265
1266
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
1267
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
1268
1269
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
1270
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
1271
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
1272
1273
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
1274
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)
1275
1276
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
1277
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
1278
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
1279
1280
* Fix bogus setUp signature in UnavailableFTPServer.
1281
(Gary van der Merwe, #313498)
1282
1283
* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
1284
(Jari Aalto)
1285
1286
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
1287
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
1288
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
1289
1290
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
1291
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
1292
1293
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
1294
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
1295
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
1296
1297
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
1298
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
1299
in the appropriate sections.
1300
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
1301
1302
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
1303
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
1304
(John Arbash meinel)
1305
1306
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
1307
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
1308
1309
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
1310
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
1311
1312
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
1313
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
1314
1315
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
1316
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
1317
work better with how it splits its requests.
1318
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
1319
1320
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
1321
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
1322
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
1323
1324
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
1325
(Aaron Bentley)
1326
1327
* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley)
1328
1329
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
1330
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
1331
1332
* Allow files to be renamed or moved via remove + add-by-id. (Charles
1333
Duffy, #314251)

Documentation
1336
*************
1337
1338
* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
1339
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
1340
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
1341
(Ian Clatworthy)
1342
1343
API Changes
1344
***********
1345
1346
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
1347
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
1348
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
1349
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1350
1351
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
1352
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
1353
1354
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
1355
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
1356
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
1357
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
1358
1359
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
1360
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
1361
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
1362
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)

1366
1367
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
1368
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
1369
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
1370
1371
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
1372
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
1373
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
1374
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
1375
1376
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
1377
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
1378
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.

1385
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
1386
(John Arbash Meinel)
1387
1388
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
1389
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
1390
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
1391
(John Arbash Meinel)
1392
1393
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
1394
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
1395
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
1396
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
1397
1398
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
1399
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
1400
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
1401
1402
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
1403
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
1404
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
1405
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
1406
1407
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
1408
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
1409
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
1410
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
1411
(John Arbash Meinel)
1412
1413
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
1414
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
1415
1416
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
1417
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
1418
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
1419
1420
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
1421
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
1422
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
1423
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
1424
1425
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
1426
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
1427
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
1428
(John Arbash Meinel)
1429
1430
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
1431
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
1432
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
1433
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
1434
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
1435
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
1436
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1437
1438
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
1439
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)

Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
1447
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
1448
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
1449
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
1450
implementation.
1451

1456
1457
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the

This reverses the change that fixed #294479.

1461
1462
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
1463
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
1464
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
1465

This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
1473
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
1474
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
1475
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
1476
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.

New Features

************
1480
1481
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
1482
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1483
1484
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.

Improvements
1488
************
1489
1490
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
1491
history just to set the last revision info.
1492
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1493
1494
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
1495
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
1496
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
1497
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1498
1499
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
1500
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
1501
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
1502
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
1503
(John Arbash Meinel)
1504
1505
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
1506
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1507
1508
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
1509
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
1510
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
1511
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
1512
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
1513
1514
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
1515
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
1516
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
1517
once. (John Arbash Meinel)

1519
Bug Fixes
1520
*********
1521
1522
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
1523
(Martin Pool, #289148)
1524
1525
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
1526
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
1527
1528
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
1529
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
1530
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
1531
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
1532
1533
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
1534
starting with a dotted revno.
1535
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
1536
1537
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
1538
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
1539
(Martin Pool, #288751)
1540
1541
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
1542
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
1543
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
1544
1545
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
1546
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
1547
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
1548
1549
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
1550
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
1551
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
1552
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
1553
1554
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
1555
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
1556
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
1557
1558
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.

1561
API Changes
1562
***********
1563
1564
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
1565
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
1566
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
1567
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
1568
1569
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
1570
have changed incompatibly.
1571
1572
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
1573
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
1574
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
1575
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
1576
don't need to change.
1577
1578
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
1579
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.

This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
1594
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
1595
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
1596
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
1597
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
1598
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.

* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
1620
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
1621
1622
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
1623
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
1624
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
1625
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
1626
1627
Improvements
1628
************
1629
1630
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
1631
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
1632
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
1633
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
1634
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
1635
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
1636
1637
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
1638
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1639
1640
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
1641
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
1642
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
1643
1644
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
1645
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
1646
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
1647
(Andrew Bennetts)
1648
1649
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
1650
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
1651
1652
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
1653
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
1654
1655
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
1656
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
1657
1658
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
1659
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
1660
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
1661
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
1662
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
1663
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
1664
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
1665
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
1666
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
1667
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)

1669
Bug Fixes
1670
*********
1671
1672
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
1673
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
1674
1675
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
1676
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
1677
1678
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
1679
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
1680
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
1681
1682
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
1683
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
1684
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
1685
1686
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
1687
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
1688
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
1689
1690
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
1691
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
1692
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
1693
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
1694
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
1695
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
1696
1697
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
1698
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
1699
1700
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
1701
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
1702
1703
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
1704
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
1705
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
1706
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
1707
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
1708
1709
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
1710
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
1711
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.

1758
1759
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
1760
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
1761
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
1762
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
1763
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
1764
1765
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
1766
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)

server. (Marius Kruger)
1770
1771
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
1772
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
1773
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
1774
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
1775
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running

* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
1791
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
1792
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
1793
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
1794
1795
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
1796
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
1797
(Daniel Watkins)
1798
1799
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
1800
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.

* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
1812
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
1813
1814
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
1815
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs

branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)

2060
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
2061
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
2062
(Marius Kruger)
2063
2064
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
2065
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
2066
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
2067
(John Arbash Meinel)
2068
2069
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
2070
(Martin Pool, #261315)
2071
2072
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
2073
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
2074
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
2075
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
2076
(John Arbash Meinel)
2077
2078
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
2079
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
2080
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
2081
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
2082
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
2083
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
2084
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
2085
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
2086
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
2087
file. (John Arbash Meinel)

2095
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when

pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
2097
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
2098
2099
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
2100
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
2101
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
2102
2103
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
2104
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
2105
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
2106
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
2107
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
2108
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
2109
2110
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
2111
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
2112
2113
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
2114
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
2115
2116
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
2117
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
2118
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
2119
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
2120
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
2121
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
2122
2123
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
2124
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
2125
2126
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
2127
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
2128
2129
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
2130
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
2131
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
2132
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
2133
2134
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
2135
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
2136
2137
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
2138
assuming the host name is ascii.

2174

2192
(Robert Collins)
2193
2194
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
2195
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
2196
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
2197
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
2198
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)

* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
2201
is unknown in both source and target.
2202
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
2203
2204
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
2205
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
2206
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
2207
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2208
2209
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
2210
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
2211
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
2212
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)

2238
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
2239
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
2240
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
2241
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
2242
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
2243
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
2244
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
2245
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
2246
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
2247
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
2248
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
2249
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.

Bug Fixes
2252
*********
2253
2254
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
2255
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
2256
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
2257
start of the string (causing more copies).
2258
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
2259
especially for projects with large files.
2260
(John Arbash Meinel)
2261
2262
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
2263
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
2264
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
2265
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
2266
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
2267
2268
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
2269
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
2270
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
2271
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
2272
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.

server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
2282
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
2283
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
2284
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
2285
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
2286
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
2287
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.

* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing

``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)

2339
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
2340
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
2341
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
2342
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
2343
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
2344
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
2345
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)

2379
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
2380
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
2381
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
2382
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
2383
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
2384
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)

This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
2391
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
2392
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
2393
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
2394
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.

2396
Changes
2397
*******
2398
2399
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
2400

2401
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)

2405
2406
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
2407
check. (Daniel Watkins)
2408
2409
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
2410
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
2411
2412
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
2413
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
2414
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2415
2416
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
2417
(James Westby)
2418
2419
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
2420
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
2421
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
2422
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
2423
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
2424
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
2425
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2426
2427
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
2428
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
2429
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)

* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
2435
physical repository boundaries.

2437
2438
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
2439
(Martin Pool, #206258)

* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
2442
support stacking, even if the origin does not.

(Martin Pool)
2444
2445
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
2446
(Ian Clatworthy)
2447
2448
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
2449
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
2450
that Python is running from.
2451
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
2452
2453
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
2454
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
2455
(Robert Collins, #150438)
2456
2457
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
2458
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)

API Changes
2471
***********
2472
2473
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
2474
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
2475
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
2476
(Robert Collins)
2477
2478
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
2479
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
2480
(Robert Collins)
2481
2482
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
2483
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
2484
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
2485
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
2486
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
2487
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
2488
(Robert Collins)
2489
2490
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
2491
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
2492
2493
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
2494
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
2495
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
2496
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
2497
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
2498
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
2499
2500
Internals
2501
*********
2502
2503
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
2504
putting together a real history without having to create a full
2505
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
2506
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
2507
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
2508
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2509
2510
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
2511
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
2512
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
2513
2514
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
2515
(Ian Clatworthy)
2516
2517
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
2518
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)

This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
2528
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
2529
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
2530
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
2531

Features
2534
********
2535
2536
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
2537
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
2538
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
2539
2540
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
2541
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
2542
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
2543
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
2544
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
2545
(Ian Clatworthy)
2546
2547
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
2548
2549
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
2550
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
2551
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
2552
(Robert Collins)
2553
2554
Improvements
2555
************
2556
2557
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
2558
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
2559
(Martin Pool)
2560
2561
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
2562
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
2563
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
2564
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
2565
2566
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
2567
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
2568
(Christophe Troestler)
2569
2570
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
2571
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
2572
2573
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
2574
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
2575
faster. The new request method name is
2576
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)

Bug Fixes
2579
*********
2580
2581
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
2582
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
2583
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
2584
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
2585
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
2586
2587
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
2588
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
2589
2590
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
2591
requires a branch to be present.
2592
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
2593
2594
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
2595
loaded.
2596
(Martin Pool, #205230)
2597
2598
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
2599
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
2600
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
2601
(Martin Pool, #240161)
2602
2603
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
2604
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
2605
2606
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
2607
name contains an @.
2608
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
2609
2610
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
2611
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
2612
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
2613
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
2614
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
2615
2616
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
2617
(Martin Pool, #172870)

* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.

* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
2623
Cygwin Bazaar.

2646
2647
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
2648
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
2649
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
2650
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)

2658
Repository docstring for more details.
2659
(Robert Collins)
2660
2661
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
2662
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
2663
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
2664
2665

2666
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
2667
(Daniel Watkins)
2668
2669
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
2670
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
2671
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests

Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
2786
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
2787
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
2788
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
2789
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
2790
and future extensions.
2791
2792
2793
Notes When Upgrading
2794
********************
2795
2796
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
2797
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
2798
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
2799
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
2800
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
2801
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
2802
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.

Improvements
2819
************
2820
2821
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
2822
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
2823
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
2824
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
2825
2826
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
2827
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
2828
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
2829
2830
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
2831
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
2832
2833
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
2834
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
2835
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
2836
2837
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
2838
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
2839
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
2840
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
2841
step closer to not using full revision history.

Bugfixes
2845
********
2846
2847
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
2848
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
2849
2850
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
2851
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
2852
2853
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
2854
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
2855
2856
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
2857
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
2858
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
2859
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
2860
2861
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
2862
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
2863
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
2864
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
2865
2866
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
2867
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
2868
in use by another process.
2869
(Martin Pool)
2870
2871
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
2872
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
2873
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
2874
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
2875
2876
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
2877
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
2878
2879
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
2880
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
2881
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
2882
2883
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
2884
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
2885
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
2886
2887
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
2888
them.
2889
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
2890
2891
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
2892
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
2893
2894
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
2895
under vim on Mac OS X.
2896
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2897
2898

*********
2931
2932
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
2933
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
2934
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
2935
(John Arbash Meinel)

2937
API Changes
2938
***********
2939
2940
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
2941
instead. (Martin Pool)
2942
2943
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
2944
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
2945
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
2946
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
2947
2948
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
2949
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
2950
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
2951
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
2952
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
2953
2954
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
2955
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
2956
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
2957
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
2958
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
2959
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
2960
2961
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
2962
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
2963
(Martin Pool)
2964
2965
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
2966
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
2967
(Robert Collins)
2968
2969
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
2970
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
2971
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
2972
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
2973
2974
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
2975
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
2976
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
2977
2978
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
2979
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
2980
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
2981
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
2982
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
2983
(Martin Pool)
2984
2985
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
2986
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
2987
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
2988
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
2989
(Robert Collins)
2990
2991
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
2992
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
2993
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
2994
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
2995
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
2996
2997
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.

3227
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
3228
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
3229
3230
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
3231
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
3232
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
3233
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
3234
every revision each side had in common.

Changes
3242
*******
3243
3244
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
3245
3246
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
3247
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
3248
3249
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
3250
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
3251
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
3252
3253
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
3254
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
3255
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
3256
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
3257
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
3258
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
3259
Andrew Cowie)
3260
3261
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
3262
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
3263
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
3264
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
3265
3266
Features
3267
********
3268
3269
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
3270
3271
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
3272
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
3273
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
3274
3275
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
3276
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
3277
See the User Reference for signature details.
3278
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
3279
3280
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
3281
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
3282
3283
Improvements
3284
************
3285
3286
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
3287
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
3288
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
3289
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
3290
3291
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
3292
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
3293
3294
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
3295
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
3296
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
3297
Wouter van Heyst)
3298
3299
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
3300
(Chad Miller)
3301
3302
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
3303
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
3304
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
3305
3306
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
3307
(Aaron Bentley)
3308
3309
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
3310
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
3311
3312
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
3313
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
3314
3315
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
3316
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
3317
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
3318
3319
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
3320
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
3321
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
3322
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
3323
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
3324
3325
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
3326
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
3327
3328
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
3329
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
3330
3331
Bugfixes
3332
********
3333
3334
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
3335
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
3336
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
3337
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
3338
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
3339
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
3340
3341
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
3342
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
3343
3344
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
3345
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
3346
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
3347
3348
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
3349
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
3350
3351
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
3352
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
3353
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
3354
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3355
3356
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
3357
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
3358
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
3359
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
3360
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
3361
3362
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
3363
3364
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
3365
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
3366
3367
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
3368
3369
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
3370
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
3371
3372
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
3373
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)

Documentation
3376
*************
3377
3378
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
3379
3380
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
3381
3382
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
3383
3384
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
3385
3386
API Breaks
3387
**********
3388
3389
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
3390
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
3391
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
3392
3393
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
3394
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
3395
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
3396
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
3397
3398
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
3399
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
3400
release. (James Westby)
3401
3402
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
3403
(Andrew Bennetts)
3404
3405
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
3406
3407
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
3408
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
3409
3410
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
3411
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
3412
3413
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
3414
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
3415
3416
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
3417
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
3418
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
3419
3420
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
3421
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
3422
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
3423
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
3424
3425
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
3426
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
3427
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
3428
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
3429
3430
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
3431
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
3432
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
3433
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
3434
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
3435
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
3436
3437
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
3438
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
3439
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
3440
3441
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
3442
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
3443
3444
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
3445
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
3446
(Robert Collins)
3447
3448
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
3449
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
3450
3451
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
3452
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
3453
3454
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
3455
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
3456
3457
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
3458
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
3459
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
3460
3461
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
3462
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
3463
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
3464
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
3465
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
3466
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
3467
3468
Testing
3469
*******
3470
3471
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
3472
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
3473
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
3474
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
3475
3476
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
3477
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
3478
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
3479
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
3480
implement this).
3481
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3482
3483
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
3484
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
3485
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3486
3487
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
3488
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
3489
3490
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
3491
3492
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
3493
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
3494
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
3495
3496
Internals
3497
*********
3498
3499
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
3500
3501
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
3502
(Martin Albisetti)
3503
3504
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
3505
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
3506
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
3507
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
3508
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
3509
(Martin Pool, #109520)
3510
3511
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
3512
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
3513
3514
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
3515
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
3516
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
3517
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
3518
3519
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
3520
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
3521
3522
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
3523
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
3565
********************
3566
3567
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
3568
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
3569
3570
Changes
3571
*******
3572
3573
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
3574
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
3575
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
3576
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
3577
(Robert Collins)
3578
3579
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
3580
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
3581
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
3582
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
3583
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
3584
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
3585
3586
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
3587
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
3588
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
3589
(Alexander Belchenko)
3590
3591
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
3592
3593
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
3594
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)

Features
3597
********

3599
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
3600
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
3601
3602
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
3603
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.

Improvements
3607
************
3608
3609
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
3610
3611
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
3612
3613
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
3614
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
3615
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
3616
3617
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
3618
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
3619
3620
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
3621
to. (Daniel Watkins)
3622
3623
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
3624
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
3625
(Alexander Belchenko)
3626
3627
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
3628
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
3629
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
3630
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
3631
3632
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
3633
(Daniel Watkins)
3634
3635
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
3636
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
3637
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
3638
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
3639
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)

3646
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
3647
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)

* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
3650
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)

* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
3653

* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
3673
symlinks (James Henstridge)
3674
3675
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
3676

3682
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
3683
3684
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
3685
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
3686

3741
3742
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to

Notes When Upgrading
3761
********************
3762
3763
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
3764
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
3765
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
3766
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
3767
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
3768
(Andrew Bennetts)
3769
3770
Changes
3771
*******
3772
3773
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
3774
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
3775
3776
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
3777
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
3778
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
3779
3780
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
3781
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
3782
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
3783
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
3784
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
3785
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
3786
(Aaron Bentley)
3787
3788
Features
3789
********
3790
3791
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
3792
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3793
3794
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
3795
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
3796
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
3797
(Robert Collins)
3798
3799
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
3800
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
3801
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
3802
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
3803
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
3804
3805
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
3806
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
3807
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
3808
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
3809
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
3810
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
3811
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
3812
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)

3814
Improvements
3815
************
3816
3817
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
3818
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
3819
3820
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
3821
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
3822
3823
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
3824
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
3825
3826
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
3827
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
3828
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
3829
3830
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
3831
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.

3835
********
3836
3837
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
3838
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
3839
3840
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
3841
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
3842
3843
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
3844
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
3845
3846
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
3847
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
3848
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
3849
3850
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
3851
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
3852
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
3853
3854
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
3855
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
3856
3857
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
3858
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
3859
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
3860
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
3861
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
3862
unittest runner.
3863
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
3864
3865
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
3866
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
3867
#185907)
3868
3869
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
3870
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
3871
3872
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
3873
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
3874
3875
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
3876
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
3877
3878
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
3879
more characters which should be considered valid.
3880
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
3881
3882
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
3883
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
3884
3885
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
3886
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)

API Breaks
3889
**********
3890
3891
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
3892
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
3893
3894
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
3895
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
3896
(Martin Pool)
3897
3898
Testing
3899
*******
3900
3901
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This

speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
3903
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3904
3905
Internals
3906
*********
3907
3908
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
3909
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
3910
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
3911
3912
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
3913
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
3914
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
3915
3916
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
3917
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
3918
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
3919
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
3920
3921
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
3922
3923
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
3924
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
3925
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
3926
server. (Robert Collins)
3927
3928
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
3929
operate. (Robert Collins)
3930
3931
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
3932
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
3933
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
3934
3935
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
3936
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
3937
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
3938
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
3939
3940
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
3941
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
3942
3943
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
3944
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
3945
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
3946
3947
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
3948
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
3949
3950
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
3951
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
3952
3953
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
3954
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
3955
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
3956
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

*******
3969
3970
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
3971
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
3972
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
3973
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
3974
3975
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
3976
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
3977
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
3978
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.

3997
3998
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
3999

4000
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
4001
4002
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
4003
4004
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
4005
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
4006
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
4007
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
4008
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
4009
4010
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
4011
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
4012
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
4314
********************
4315
4316
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
4317
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
4318
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
4319
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
4320
4321
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
4322
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
4323
4324
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
4325
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
4326
4327
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
4328
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
4329
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
4330
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
4331
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
4332
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
4333
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
4334
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
4335
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
4336
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
4337
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
4338
from any tree without problems.

4347
4348

4380
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
4381
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4382
4383
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
4384
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
4385
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
4386
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)

* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some

repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
4607
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
4608
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
4609
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
4610
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
4611
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
4612
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
4613
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
4614
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
4615
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
4616
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).

it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
4659
4660
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
4661
(Robert Collins)
4662
4663
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
4664
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
4665
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
4666
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
4667
4668
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
4669
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
4670
4671
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
4672
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
4673
4674
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
4675
the contents. (Robert Collins)
4676
4677
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
4678
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)

************
4682
4683
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
4684
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
4685
4686
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
4687
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
4688
4689
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
4690
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
4691
4692
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
4693
(Martin Pool, #63894)
4694
4695
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
4696
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)

Bug Fixes
4707
*********
4708
4709
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
4710
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
4711
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
4712
4713
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
4714
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
4715
4716
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
4717
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
4718
4719
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
4720
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
4721
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
4722
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
4723
4724
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
4725
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
4726
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
4727
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
4728
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
4729
4730
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
4731
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
4732
paramiko.
4733
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
4734
4735
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
4736
4737
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
4738
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
4739
4740
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
4741
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
4742
4743
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
4744
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
4745
4746
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
4747
contains a symbolic link.
4748
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
4749
4750
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
4751
(James Westby, #140615)
4752
4753
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
4754
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
4755
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
4756
4757
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
4758
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
4759
(Martin Pool, #144633)
4760
4761
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4762
4763
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
4764
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
4765
4766
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
4767
will remain opened.
4768
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
4769
4770
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
4771
directory to detect leaking tests.
4772
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
4773
4774
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
4775
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
4776
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
4777
4778
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
4779
(Rob Weir, #141629)
4780
4781
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
4782
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
4783
4784
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
4785
Merwe)
4786
4787
API Breaks
4788
**********
4789
4790
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
4791
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
4792
4793
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
4794
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
4795
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
4796
4797
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
4798
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
4799
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
4800
4801
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
4802
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
4803
4804
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
4805
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
4806
4807
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
4808
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
4809
(Martin Pool)
4810
4811
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
4812
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
4813
4814
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
4815
class that needs it.
4816
(Martin Pool)
4817
4818
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
4819
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
4820
4821
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
4822
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
4823
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
4824
4825
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
4826
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
4827
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
4828
(Robert Collins)
4829
4830
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
4831
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
4832
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
4833
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
4834
(Robert Collins)
4835
4836
Internals
4837
*********
4838
4839
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
4840
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
4841
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
4842
4843
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
4844
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
4845
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
4846
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
4847
4848
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
4849
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
4850
(Robert Collins)
4851
4852
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
4853
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
4854
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
4855
4856
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
4857
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
4858
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
4859
4860
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
4861
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
4862
4863
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
4864
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
4865
to complete. (Robert Collins)
4866
4867
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
4868
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
4869
4870
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
4871
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
4872
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
4873
4874
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
4875
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
4876
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
4877
4878
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
4879
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
4880
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
4881
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
4882
4883
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
4884
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
4885
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
4886
returned. (Robert Collins)
4887
4888
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
4889
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
4890
4891
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
4892
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
4893
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
4894
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
4895
(Robert Collins)
4896
4897
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
4898
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)

Testing
4901
*******
4902
4903
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
4904
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
4905
4906
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
4907
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
4908
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
4909
makes this behavior available to other users.
4910
(Martin Pool)
4911
4912
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
4913
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)

4927
4928
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with

4930
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.

Changes
4949
*******
4950
4951
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
4952
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
4953
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
4954
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
4955
(Martin Pool)
4956
4957
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
4958
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
4959
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
4960
(Ian Clatworthy)
4961
4962
Features
4963
********
4964
4965
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
4966
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
4967
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
4968
(Lukáš Lalinský)
4969
4970
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
4971
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
4972
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
4973
4974
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
4975
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
4976
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
4977
4978
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
4979
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
4980
4981
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
4982
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
4983
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
4984
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
4985
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
4986
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
4987
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
4988
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
4989
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
4990
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
4991
4992
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
4993
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
4994
4995
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
4996
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
4997
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)

Bug Fixes
5000
*********
5001
5002
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
5003
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
5004
5005
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
5006
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
5007
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
5008
5009
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
5010
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
5011
5012
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
5013
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
5014
5015
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
5016
(Aaron Bentley)
5017
5018
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
5019
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
5020
5021
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
5022
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
5023
5024
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
5025
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
5026
5027
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
5028
(Blake Winton, #129299)
5029
5030
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
5031
5032
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
5033
Watkins, #106726)
5034
5035
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
5036
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
5037
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
5038
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
5039
5040
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
5041
5042
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
5043
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
5044
#133548)
5045
5046
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
5047
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
5048
5049
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
5050
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
5051
#116143)
5052
5053
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
5054
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
5055
5056
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
5057
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
5058
5059
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
5060
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
5061
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
5062
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
5063
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
5064
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
5065
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
5066
5067
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
5068
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
5069
5070
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
5071
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
5072
5073
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
5074
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
5075
5076
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
5077

* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
5080
connections.
5081
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
5082
5083
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
5084
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
5085
5086
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
5087
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
5088
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
5089
5090
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
5091
process if building of a C extension is not possible.

5099
5100
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
5101

5102
5103
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
5104

5105
5106
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
5107
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
5108
5109
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
5110
5111
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
5112
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
5113
5114
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
5115
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
5116
5117
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
5118
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
5119
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
5120
space). (Robert Collins)
5121
5122
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
5123
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
5124
(Ian Clatworthy)
5125
5126
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
5127
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
5128
5129
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
5130
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
5131
5132
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
5133
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
5134
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
5135
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
5136
5137
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
5138
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
5139
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.

* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
5150
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
5151
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
5152
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
5153
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)

5158
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
5159
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
5160
5161
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
5162
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
5163
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
5164
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
5165
affected. (Robert Collins)
5166
5167
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
5168
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
5169
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.

* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
5197
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
5198
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
5199
its version information. (Robert Collins)
5200
5201
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
5202
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
5203
5204
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
5205
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
5206
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
5207
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
5208
5209
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
5210
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
5211
present. (Robert Collins)
5212
5213
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
5214
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
5215
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
5216
API. (Robert Collins)
5217
5218
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
5219
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
5220
(Robert Collins)
5221
5222
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
5223
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
5224
5225
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
5226
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
5227
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
5228
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
5229
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
5230
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
5231
5232
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
5233
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
5234
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
5235
5236
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
5237
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
5238
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
5239
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
5240
protocol.
5241
5242
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
5243
(Aaron Bentley)
5244
5245
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
5246
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
5247
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
5248
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
5249
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
5250
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
5251
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
5252
5253
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
5254
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
5255
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
5256
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
5257
5258
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
5259
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
5260
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
5261
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
5262
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
5263
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
5264
5265
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
5266
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
5267
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
5268
5269
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
5270
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

5302
5303
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
5304
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
5305
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
5306
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
5307
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)

* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
5331
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
5332
5333
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains

* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
5352
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
5353
5354
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
5355
the repository (Robert Collins)
5356
5357
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
5358
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
5359
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
5360
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
5361
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
5362
5363
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
5364
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
5365
5366
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
5367
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
5368
(John Arbash Meinel)
5369
5370
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
5371
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
5372
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
5373
about 10%).
5374
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
5375
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
5376
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
5377
(John Arbash Meinel)
5378

* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
5390
5391
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
5392
5393
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
5394
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
5395
5396
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
5397
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
5398
Meinel)
5399
5400
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
5401
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
5402
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
5403
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
5404
5405
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
5406
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
5407
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
5408
5409
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
5410
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
5411
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
5412
5413
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
5414
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
5415
5416
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
5417
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
5418
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
5419
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
5420
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
5421
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.

5429
5430
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or

Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
5443
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
5444
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)

5448
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
5449
(Robert Collins)
5450
5451
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
5452
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
5453
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
5454
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
5455
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
5456
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)

5461
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
5462
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
5463
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
5464
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
5465
5466
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
5467
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
5468
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
5469
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
5470
tests have been refactored too.
5471
(Vincent Ladeuil)
5472
5473
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
5474
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
5475
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
5476
list, it will.
5477
(Vincent Ladeuil)
5478
5479
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
5480
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
5481
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
5482
5483
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
5484
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
5485
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
5486
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
5487
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
5488
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
5489
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
5490
5491
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
5492
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
5493
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
5494
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
5495
(John Arbash Meinel)

5497
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
5498
functionality for testing.

* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
5501

5511
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
5512
5513
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
5514
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
5515
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
5516
5517
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
5518

* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
5521
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
5522
5523
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
5524
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
5525
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
5526
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
5527
5528
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
5529
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
5530
5531
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
5532
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
5533
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
5534
5535
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
5536
(Marius Kruger)
5537
5538
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
5539
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
5540
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
5541
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
5542
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
5543
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
5544
5545
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
5546
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
5547
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
5548
many files. (Robert Collins)
5549
5550
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
5551
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
5552
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
5553
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)

5558
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
5559
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
5560
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
5561
5562
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
5563
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
5564
5565
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
5566
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
5567
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

5585
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
5586
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
5587
5588
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
5589
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
5590

5614
individually and as part of revision ranges.
5615

5616
5617
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
5618

5619
5620
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
5621
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
5622
5623
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
5624

Improvements
5631
************
5632
5633
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
5634
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
5635
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
5636
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
5637
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
5638
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
5639
5640
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
5641
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
5642
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
5643
5644
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
5645
(Elliot Murphy)
5646
5647
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
5648
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
5649
5650
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
5651
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
5652
5653
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
5654
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
5655
5656
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
5657
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
5658
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
5659
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
5660
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
5661
5662
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
5663
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
5664
5665
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
5666
can be slow it is useful feedback).
5667
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
5668
5669
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
5670
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
5671
5672
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
5673
5674
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
5675
output. (Aaron Bentley)
5676
5677
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
5678
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
5679
(Robert Collins)
5680
5681
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
5682
(Martin Pool)
5683
5684
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
5685
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
5686
5687
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
5688
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
5689
5690
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
5691

Library API Breaks
5702
******************
5703
5704
* Testing cleanups -
5705
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
5706
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
5707
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
5708
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
5709
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to

``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
5713
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
5714
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
5715
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
5716
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
5717
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
5718
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
5719
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
5720
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
5721
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
5722
(Robert Collins)
5723
5724
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
5725
5726
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
5727
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
5728
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
5729
5730
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
5731
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
5732
5733
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
5734
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5735
5736
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
5737
5738
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
5739
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
5740
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
5741
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
5742
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
5743
same location. (Robert Collins)

Internals
5746
*********
5747
5748
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
5749
5750
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
5751
5752
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
5753
5754
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
5755
(Martin Pool)
5756
5757
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
5758
(Martin Pool)
5759
5760
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
5761
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
5762
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
5763
5764
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
5765
5766
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
5767
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
5768
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
5769
5770
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
5771
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
5772
5773
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
5774
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
5775
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
5776
5777
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
5778
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
5779
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
5780
5781
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
5782
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
5783
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
5784
5785
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
5786
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
5787
Martin Pool)
5788
5789
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
5790
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
5791
5792
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
5793

Testing
5796
*******
5797
5798
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
5799
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
5800
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
5801
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
5802
5803
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
5804
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
5805
testing. (Robert Collins)
5806
5807
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
5808
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
5809
5810
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
5811
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
5812
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
5813
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
5814
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
5815
attribute during the test parameterisation in
5816
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
5817
5818
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
5819
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
5820
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
5821
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
5822
5823
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
5824
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
5825
5826
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
5827
avoid useless cloning.

Notes When Upgrading
5848
********************
5849
5850
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
5851
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
5852
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
5853
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
5854
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
5855
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
5856
and unlock() like so::
5857
5858
work_tree.lock_read()
5859
try:
5860
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
5861
finally:
5862
work_tree.unlock()
5863
5864
Internals
5865
*********
5866
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
5867
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
5868
object.
5869
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
5870
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
5871
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
5872
5873
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
5874
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
5875
too. (Robert Collins)

5877
Improvements
5878
************
5879
5880
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
5881
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
5882
Aaron Bentley)
5883
5884
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
5885
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
5886
5887
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
5888
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
5889
5890
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
5891
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
5892
understanding what changes have occurred
5893
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
5894
5895
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
5896
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
5897
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
5898
5899
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
5900
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
5901
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
5902
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
5903

********
5909
5910
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
5911
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
5912
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
5913
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
5914
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)

* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
5928
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
5929
5930
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
5931
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
5932
5933
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
5934
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
5935
5936
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
5937
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
5938
5939
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.

6009
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
6010
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
6011
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
6012
but not delete it.

``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the

revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
6042
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
6043
6044
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
6045
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
6046
Robert Collins)
6047
6048
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
6049
Pool)
6050
6051
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
6052
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
6053
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
6054
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
6055
6056
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
6057
(Robert Collins)
6058
6059
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
6060
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
6061
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
6062
(Robert Collins)
6063
6064
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
6065
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
6066
6067
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
6068
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
6069
6070
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
6071
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
6072
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
6073
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
6074
(Robert Collins)
6075
6076
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
6077
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
6078
6079
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
6080
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
6081
6082
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
6083
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
6084
(Robert Collins, #107125).
6085
6086
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
6087
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
6088
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
6089
6090
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
6091
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
6092
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
6093
6094
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
6095
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
6096
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
6097
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
6098
6099
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
6100
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
6101
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
6102
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
6103
6104
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
6105
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
6106
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
6107
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
6108
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
6109
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
6110
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
6111
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
6112
header(s).

*********
6117
6118
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
6119
code paths. (Robert Collins)
6120
6121
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
6122
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
6123
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
6124
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
6125
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
6126
6127
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
6128
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
6129
6130
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
6131
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
6132
6133
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
6134
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
6135
6136
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
6137
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
6138
6139
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
6140
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
6141
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
6142
(Robert Collins).
6143
6144
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
6145
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
6146
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
6147
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
6148
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
6149
(Robert Collins)
6150
6151
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
6152
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
6153
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
6154
6155
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
6156
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
6157
(Vincent Ladeuil).
6158
6159
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
6160
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
6161
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
6162
(Vincent Ladeuil).
6163
6164
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
6165
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
6166
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
6167
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
6168
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
6169
6170
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
6171
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
6172
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
6173
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
6174
6175
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
6176
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
6177
6178
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
6179
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
6180
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
6181
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
6182
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
6183
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
6184
6185
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
6186
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
6187
6188
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
6189
help. (Robert Collins)
6190
6191
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
6192
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
6193
6194
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
6195
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
6196
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
6197
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
6198
(John Arbash Meinel)
6199
6200
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
6201
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
6202
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
6203
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
6204
useful. (Robert Collins)
6205
6206
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".

6233
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
6234

6236
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
6237
6238
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
6239

6240
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).

6279
6280
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
6281
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
6282
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
6283
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
6284
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
6285
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
6286
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.

6292
6293
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls

6296

115
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
116
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
117
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
118
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
119
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)

* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
133
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
134
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
135
136
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
137
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
138
139
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
140
last-changed-revision for directories. The
141
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the parent_id and name,
142
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
143
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
144
145
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
146
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
147
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
148

Surprises
6456
*********
6457
6458
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
6459
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
6460
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
6461
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
6462
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
6463
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
6464
6465
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
6466
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
6467
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
6468
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
6469
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
6470
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
6471
development.
6472
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
6473
6474
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
6475
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
6476
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
6477
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
6478
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
6479
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
6480
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
6481
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
6482
6483
Improvements
6484
************
6485
6486
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
6487
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
6488
6489
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
6490
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
6491
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
6492
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
6493
does exist.
6494
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
6495
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
6496
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
6497
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
6498
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
6499
6500
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
6501
(Aaron Bentley)
6502
6503
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
6504
(Aaron Bentley)
6505
6506
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
6507
(Robert Collins)
6508
6509
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
6510
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
6511
(Aaron Bentley)
6512
6513
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
6514
(Aaron Bentley)
6515
6516
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
6517
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
6518
6519
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
6520
directory. (Martin Pool)
6521
6522
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
6523
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
6524
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
6525
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
6526
6527
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
6528
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
6529
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
6530
in docs/configuration.txt.
6531
6532
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
6533
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
6534
bind location.
6535
6536
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
6537
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
6538
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
6539
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
6540
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
6541
repositories. (Martin Pool)
6542
6543
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
6544
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
6545
6546
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
6547
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
6548
6549
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.

(Aaron Bentley)
6551
6552
Internals
6553
*********
6554
6555
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
6556
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
6557
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
6558
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
6559
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
6560
(John Arbash Meinel)
6561
6562
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
6563
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
6564
(Aaron Bentley)
6565
6566
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
6567
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
6568
(John Arbash Meinel)
6569
6570
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
6571
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
6572
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
6573
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
6574
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
6575
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
6576
6577
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
6578
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
6579
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
6580
6581
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
6582
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
6583
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
6584
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
6585
repository.
6586
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
6587
6588
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
6589
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
6590
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
6591
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
6592
6593
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
6594
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
6595
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
6596
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
6597
6598
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
6599
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
6600
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
6601
6602
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
6603
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
6604
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
6605
6606
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
6607
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
6608
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
6609
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
6610
6611
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
6612
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
6613
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
6614
6615
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
6616
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
6617
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
6618
6619
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
6620
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
6621
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
6622
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
6623
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
6624
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
6625
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
6626
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
6627
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

301
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
302
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
303
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
304
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
305
(John Arbash Meinel)
306
307
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
308
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
309
(Aaron Bentley)
310
311
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
312
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
313
(John Arbash Meinel)
314
315
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
316
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - 'set_rh',
317
'post_push', 'post_pull', 'post_commit', 'post_uncommit'. These hooks
318
fire after the matching operation on a branch has taken place, and were
319
originally added for the branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
320
321
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
322
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
323
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
324
325
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
326
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
327
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
328
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
329
repository.
330
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
331
332
* New Branch.last_revision_info method, this is being done to allow
333
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
334
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
335
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
336
337
* Allow 'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME' to work when the plugin NAME has not
338
yet been loaded by load_plugins(). This allows plugins to depend on each
339
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
340
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
341
342
* New Repository method 'gather_stats' for statistic data collection.
343
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
344
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
345
346
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
347
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
348
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
349
350
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
351
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
352
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
353
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
354
355
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
356
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
357
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
358
359
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
360
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
361
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
362
363
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
364
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
365
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
366
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
367
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
368
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
369
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
370
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
371
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

380
381

************
6708
6709
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart

6711
server, then you can write over the http connection.
6712
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
6713
6714
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
6715
(Marius Kruger)
6716
6717
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
6718
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
6719
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
6720
6721
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
6722
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
6723
6724
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
6725
(Aaron Bentley)
6726
6727
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
6728
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
6729
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
6730
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
6731
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
6732
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
6733
6734
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
6735
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
6736
should enable you to do::
6737
6738
[/home/user/project]
6739
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
6740
push_location:policy = appendpath
6741
6742
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
6743
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
6744
(James Henstridge)
6745
6746

``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
6861
(Daniel Silverstone)
6862
6863
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a

deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
6873
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
6874
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.

so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.

Improvements
7122
************
7123
7124
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
7125
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
7126
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
7127
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
7128
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
7129
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
7130
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
7131
7132
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
7133
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
7134
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
7135
7136
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
7137
7138
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
7139
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
7140
7141
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
7142
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
7143
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
7144
(Robert Collins)
7145
7146
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
7147
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
7148
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
7149
(John Arbash Meinel)
7150
7151
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
7152
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
7153
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
7154
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
7155
Pool)
7156
7157
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
7158
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
7159
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
7160

Bug Fixes
7163
*********
7164
7165
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
7166
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
7167
7168
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
7169
7170
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
7171
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
7172
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
7173
7174
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
7175
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
7176
7177
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
7178
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
7179
7180
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
7181
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
7182
7183
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
7184
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
7185
7186
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
7187
7188
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
7189
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
7190
7191
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
7192
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
7193
7194
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
7195
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
7196
7197
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
7198
(John Arbash Meinel)
7199
7200
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
7201
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
7202
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
7203
7204
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
7205
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
7206
7207
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
7208
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
7209
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
7210
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
7211
7212
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
7213
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
7214
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
7215
7216
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
7217
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)

***********
7221
7222
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
7223
7224
Internals
7225
*********
7226
7227
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
7228
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
7229
(John Arbash Meinel)
7230
7231
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
7232
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
7233
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
7234
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
7235
7236
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
7237
(Andrew Bennetts)
7238
7239
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
7240
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
7241
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
7242
7243
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
7244
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
7245
7246
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
7247
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
7248
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
7249
7250
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
7251
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
7252
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
7253
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
7254
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
7255
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
7256
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
7257
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
7258
caller to repeat their request.
7259
(John Arbash Meinel)
7260
7261
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
7262
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
7263
7264
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
7265
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
7266
7267
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
7268
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
7269
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
7270
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
7271
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
7272
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
7273
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
7274
7275
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
7276
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
7277
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
7278
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
7279
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
7280
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
7281
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
7282
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
7283
(Robert Collins)
7284
7285
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
7286
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
7287
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
7288
7289
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
7290
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
7291
7292
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
7293
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
7294
7295
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
7296
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
7297
7298
Testing
7299
*******
7300
7301
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
7302
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
7303
7304
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
7305
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
7306
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
7307
7308
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
7309
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
7310
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
832

Improvements
7316
************
7317
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
7318
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
7319
7320
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
7321
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
7322
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
7323
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
7324
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
7325
7326
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
7327
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
7328
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
7329
7330
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
7331
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
7332
7333
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
7334
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.

*********
7339
7340
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
7341
7342
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
7343
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
7344
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
7345
7346
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
7347
7348
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
7349
7350
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
7351
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
7352
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
7353
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
7354
7355
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
7356
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
7357
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
7358
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
7359
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
7360
7361
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
7362
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
7363
7364
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
7365
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
7366
7367
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
7368
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
7369
7370
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
7371
in handling of revision properties.
7372
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
7373
7374
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
7375
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
7376
7377
Internals
7378
*********
7379
7380
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
7381
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
7382
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
7383
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
7384
(John Arbash Meinel)
7385
7386
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
7387
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
7388
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
1019
1020
IMPROVEMENTS:
1021
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
1022
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
1023
1024
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
1025
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
1026
the 'action' passed to smart_add_tree() can return file_ids that
1027
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
1028
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
1029
1030
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
1031
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
1032
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
1033
1034
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
1035
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
1036
1037
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
1038
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
1039
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1040
1041
BUG FIXES:
1042
1043
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
1044
1045
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
1046
lock_write() is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
1047
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
1048
1049
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
1050
1051
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
1052
1053
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
1054
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
1055
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
1056
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
1057
1058
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
1059
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
1060
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
1061
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.

Surprises
7394
*********
7395
7396
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
7397
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
7398
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
7399
specific one '.bzrignore'.
7400
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
7401
a more conservative list than the old default.
7402
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
7403
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
7404
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
7405
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
7406
7407
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
7408
to more locations than just branch locations.
7409
(Aaron Bentley)
7410
7411
Improvements
7412
************
7413
7414
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
7415
revno:N:branch. For example,
7416
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
7417
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
7418
7419
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
7420
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
7421
the path of a file that has been versioned.
7422
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
7423
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
7424
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
7425
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
7426
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
7427
#42517, #42514)
7428
7429
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
7430
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
7431
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
7432
(Malone #3507)
7433
7434
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
7435
(Alexander Belchenko)
7436
7437
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
7438
7439
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
7440
(Robert Collins).
7441
7442
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
7443
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
7444
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
7445
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
7446
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
7447
(John Arbash Meinel)
7448
7449
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
7450
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
7451
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
7452
grained analysis of performance.
7453
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
7454
7455
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
7456
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
7457
7458
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
7459
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
7460
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
7461
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
7462
file. (Robert Collins).
7463
7464
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
7465
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
7466
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
7467
7468
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
7469
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
7470
Matthieu Moy)
7471
7472
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
7473
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
7474
7475
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
7476
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
7477
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
7478
the same way you would apply another branch.
7479
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
7480
7481
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
7482
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
7483
7484
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
7485
(Michael Ellerman)
7486
7487
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
7488
(Aaron Bentley)
7489
7490
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
7491
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
7492
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
7493
7494
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
7495
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
7496
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
7497
7498
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
7499
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
7500
7501
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
7502
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
7503
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
7504
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
7505
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
7506
7507
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
7508
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
7509
7510
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
7511
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
7512
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
7513
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
7514
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
7515
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
7516
branch is as much as 4x faster.
7517
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
7518
7519
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
7520
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
7521
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
7522
7523
Bug Fixes
7524
*********
7525
7526
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
7527
tests not to run.
7528
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
7529
7530
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
7531
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
7532
7533
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
7534
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
7535
7536
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
7537
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
7538
7539
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
7540
7541
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
7542
(John Arbash Meinel)
7543
7544
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
7545
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
7546
7547
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
7548
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
7549
and y.
7550
7551
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
7552
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
7553
7554
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
7555
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
7556
7557
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
7558
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
7559
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
7560
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
7561
7562
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
7563
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
7564
7565
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
7566
7567
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
7568
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
7569
7570
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
7571
7572
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
7573
7574
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
7575
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
7576
7577
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
7578
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
7579
7580
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
7581
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
7582
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
7583
7584
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
7585
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
7586
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
7587
7588
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
7589
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
7590
7591
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
7592
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
7593
7594
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
7595
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
7596
7597
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
7598
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
7599
7600
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
7601
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
7602
7603
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
7604
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
7605
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
7606
7607
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
7608
7609
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
7610
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
7611
7612
Internals
7613
*********
7614
7615
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
7616
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
7617
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
7618
7619
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
7620
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
7621
7622
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
7623
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
7624
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
7625
7626
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
7627
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
7628
7629
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
7630
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
7631
(Martin Pool)
7632
7633
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
7634
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
7635
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
7636
7637
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
7638
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
7639
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
7640
7641
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
7642
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
7643
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
7644
7645
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
7646
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
7647
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
7648
7649
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
7650
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
7651
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
7652
7653
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
7654
instead. (Robert Collins)
7655
7656
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
1093
1094
SURPRISES:
1095
1096
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
1097
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
1098
~/.bazaar/ignore which will apply to every tree, and the tree
1099
specific one '.bzrignore'.
1100
~/.bazaar/ignore will be created if it does not exist, but with
1101
a more conservative list than the old default.
1102
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
1103
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
1104
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
1105
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
1106
1107
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
1108
to more locations than just branch locations.
1109
(Aaron Bentley)
1110
1111
IMPROVEMENTS:
1112
1113
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
1114
revno:N:branch. For example,
1115
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
1116
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
1117
1118
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
1119
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
1120
the path of a file that has been versioned.
1121
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
1122
Branch.get_parent()/set_parent() now save a relative path if possible,
1123
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
1124
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
1125
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
1126
#42517, #42514)
1127
1128
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
1129
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
1130
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
1131
(Malone #3507)
1132
1133
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
1134
(Alexander Belchenko)
1135
1136
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
1137
1138
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
1139
(Robert Collins).
1140
1141
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
1142
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
1143
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
1144
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
1145
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
1146
(John Arbash Meinel)
1147
1148
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
1149
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
1150
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
1151
grained analysis of performance.
1152
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1153
1154
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
1155
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
1156
1157
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
1158
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
1159
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
1160
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
1161
file. (Robert Collins).
1162
1163
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
1164
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
1165
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
1166
1167
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
1168
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
1169
Matthieu Moy)
1170
1171
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
1172
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
1173
1174
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
1175
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
1176
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
1177
the same way you would apply another branch.
1178
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1179
1180
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
1181
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
1182
1183
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
1184
(Michael Ellerman)
1185
1186
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
1187
(Aaron Bentley)
1188
1189
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
1190
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
1191
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
1192
1193
* New env variable BZR_PROGRESS_BAR, sets the default progress bar type.
1194
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
1195
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
1196
1197
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
1198
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
1199
1200
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
1201
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
1202
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
1203
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
1204
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
1205
1206
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
1207
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
1208
1209
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
1210
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
1211
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
1212
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
1213
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
1214
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
1215
branch is as much as 4x faster.
1216
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
1217
1218
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
1219
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
1220
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
1221
1222
BUG FIXES:
1223
1224
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
1225
tests not to run. (#32587, Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman,
1226
Martin Pool)
1227
1228
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
1229
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1230
1231
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
1232
in connecting to the remote location. (#49742, John Arbash Meinel)
1233
1234
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
1235
(#45010, John Arbash Meinel)
1236
1237
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
1238
1239
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
1240
(John Arbash Meinel)
1241
1242
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
1243
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
1244
1245
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
1246
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
1247
and y.
1248
1249
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
1250
push. (#52227, Aaron Bentley)
1251
1252
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
1253
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
1254
1255
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
1256
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
1257
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
1258
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
1259
1260
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
1261
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
1262
1263
* Tuning iter_entries() to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
1264
1265
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
1266
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
1267
1268
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
1269
1270
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
1271
1272
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
1273
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
1274
1275
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
1276
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
1277
1278
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
1279
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
1280
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
1281
1282
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
1283
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
1284
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
1285
1286
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
1287
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
1288
1289
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
1290
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
1291
1292
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
1293
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
1294
1295
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
1296
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
1297
1298
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
1299
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
1300
1301
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
1302
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
1303
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
1304
1305
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
1306
1307
* Fix Branch.get_parent() to handle the case when the parent is not
1308
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
1309
1310
INTERNALS:
1311
1312
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
1313
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
1314
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
1315
1316
* Appending to bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE is now deprecated. Instead, use
1317
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
1318
1319
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
1320
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
1321
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1322
1323
* bzrlib.delta.compare_trees now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
1324
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1325
1326
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
1327
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
1328
(Martin Pool)
1329
1330
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
1331
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
1332
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1333
1334
* Deprecate Repository.all_revision_ids; most methods don't really need
1335
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
1336
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1337
1338
* Add a BzrDirFormat control_formats list which allows for control formats
1339
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
1340
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
1341
1342
* bzrlib.diff.external_diff can be redirected to any file-like object.
1343
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
1344
(#4047, #48914, James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel)
1345
1346
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
1347
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
1348
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
1349
1350
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use repository.revision_tree(None)
1351
instead. (Robert Collins)
1352
1353
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
7724
********************
7725
7726
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
7727
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
7728
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
7729
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
7730
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
7731
will keep the same format.
7732
7733
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
7734
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
7735
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
7736
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
7737
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
7738
7739
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
7740
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
7741
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
7742
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
7743
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
7744
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
7745
indicating the current revision of the branch.
7746
7747
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
7748
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
7749
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
7750
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
7751
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
7752
7753
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
7754
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
7755
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
7756
arrangement.

arrangement.
1443
1444
1445
IMPROVEMENTS:
1446
1447
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
1448
convention. Paths now take the form:
7765
1449
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
7766
1450
or
7767
1451
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
7768
1452
7769
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
7770
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
7771
7772
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
7773
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
7774
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
7775
7776
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
7777
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
7778
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
7779
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
7780
7781
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
7782
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
7783
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
7784
7785
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
7786
7787
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
7788
7789
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
7790
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
7791
commits::
7792
7793
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
7794
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
7795
| xargs bzr re-sign
7796
7797
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
7798
7799
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
7800
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
7801
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
7802
(Robert Collins)
7803
7804
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
7805
7806
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
7807
7808
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
7809
'.moved'.
7810
7811
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
7812
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
7813
7814
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
7815
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
7816
Daniel Silverstone)
7817
7818
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
7819
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
7820
Martin Pool)
7821
7822
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
7823
7824
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
7825
7826
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
7827
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
7828
7829
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
7830
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
7831
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
7832
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
7833
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
7834
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
7835
7836
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
7837
7838
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
7839
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
7840
(Robert Collins)
7841
7842
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
7843
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)

7846
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
7847
7848
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
7849
7850
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
7851
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
7852
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
7853
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
7854
specification by Martin Pool.
7855
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).

* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
7858
Belchenko)
7859
7860
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
7861
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
7862
7863
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
7864
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
7865
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
7866
7867
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
7868

*********
7893
7894
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
7895
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
7896
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
7897
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
7898
7899
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
7900
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
7901
tried. (Martin Pool)
7902
7903
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
7904
(Martin Pool)
7905
7906
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
7907
7908
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
7909
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
7910
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
7911
7912
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
7913
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
7914
7915
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
7916
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
7917
paths. (Robert Collins)
7918
7919
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
7920
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
7921
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
7922
7923
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
7924
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
7925
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
7926
7927
* Progress bars are now nested - see
7928
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
7929
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
7930
7931
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
7932
(Olaf Conradi)
7933
7934
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.

(Olaf Conradi)
7936
7937
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
7938
7939
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
7940
7941
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
7942
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
7943
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
7944
(Robert Collins)
7945
7946
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
7947
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
7948
7949
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
7950
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
7951
check. (Robert Collins)
7952
7953
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
7954
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)

7957
*******
7958
7959
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
7960
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
7961
7962
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
7963
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
7964
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
7965
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
7966
7967
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
7968
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
7969
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
7970
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
7971
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
7972
7973
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
7974
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
7975
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
7976
7977
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
7978
7979
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
7980
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
1453
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
1454
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
1455
1456
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
1457
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
1458
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
1459
1460
* The bzr_man.py file has been removed. To create the man page now,
1461
use ./generate_docs.py man. The new program can also create other files.
1462
Run "python generate_docs.py --help" for usage information. (Hans
1463
Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
1464
1465
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell). Help also updated to
1466
reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar (Hans Ulrich
1467
Niedermann)
1468
1469
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
1470
1471
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
1472
1473
* 'bzr re-sign' now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
1474
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
1475
commits::
1476
1477
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
1478
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
1479
| xargs bzr re-sign
1480
1481
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
1482
1483
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
1484
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
1485
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
1486
(Robert Collins)
1487
1488
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
1489
1490
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
1491
1492
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
1493
'.moved'.
1494
1495
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
1496
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
1497
1498
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
1499
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,

Changes
7986
*******
7987
7988
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
7989
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
7990
7991
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
7992
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
7993
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
7994
(Johan Rydberg)
7995
7996
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
7997
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
7998
7999
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
8000
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
8001
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
8002
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
8003
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
8004
8005
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
8006
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
8007
used. (Robert Collins)
8008
8009
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
8010
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
8011
(James Henstridge)
8012
8013
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
8014
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
8015
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
8016
8017
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
8018
ignore list.
8019
8020
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
8021
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)

Improvements
8024
************
8025
8026
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
8027
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
8028
8029
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
8030
8031
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
8032
8033
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
8034
tree. (Robert Collins)
8035
8036
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
8037
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
8038
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
8039
(Robert Collins)
8040
8041
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
8042
that they be kept.
8043
8044
* Tweaks to short log printing
8045
8046
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
8047
(Aaron Bentley)
8048
8049
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
8050
occurs. (Martin Pool)
8051
8052
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
8053
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
8054
8055
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
8056
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
8057
8058
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
8059
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
8060
settings. (Magnus Therning)
8061
8062
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
8063
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
8064
8065
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
8066
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
8067
requests.
8068
8069
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
8070
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
8071
8072
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
8073
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
8074
8075
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
8076
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
8077

8145
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
8146
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
8147
8148

8149
8150
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
8151
8152
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
8153
8154
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read

8169
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
8170
imported. (Martin Pool)
8171
8172
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
8173
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
8174
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
8175
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
8176
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
8177
(Robert Collins)
8178
8179
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
8180
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
8181
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
8182
8183
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
8184
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
8185
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
8186
8187
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
8188
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
8189
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
8190
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
8191
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
8192
(Robert Collins).
8193
8194
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
8195
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.

Internals
8199
*********
8200
8201
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
8202
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
8203
8204
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
8205
function. (Robert Collins)
8206
8207
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
8208
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
8209
if needed). (Robert Collins)
8210
8211
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
8212
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
8213
(Robert Collins)
8214
8215
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
8216
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
8217
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
8218
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
8219
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
8220
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
8221
version. (Robert Collins)
8222
8223
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
8224
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
8225
8226
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
8227
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
8228
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
8229
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
8230
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
8231
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
8232
8233
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
8234
(Robert Collins)
8235
8236
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
8237
1663
1664
CHANGES:
1665
1666
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
1667
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
1668
1669
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
1670
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
1671
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
1672
(Johan Rydberg)
1673
1674
* Under Windows configuration directory is now %APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0
1675
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
1676
1677
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by BZR_HOME
1678
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in BZR_HOME, then
1679
in HOME. Under Windows the order is: BZR_HOME, APPDATA (usually
1680
points to C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data), HOME.
1681
(John Arbash Meinel)
1682
1683
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
1684
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
1685
used. (Robert Collins)
1686
1687
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
1688
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
1689
(James Henstridge)
1690
1691
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
1692
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
1693
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
1694
1695
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
1696
ignore list.
1697
1698
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
1699
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
1700
1701
IMPROVEMENTS:
1702
1703
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
1704
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
1705
1706
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
1707
1708
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
1709
1710
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
1711
tree. (Robert Collins)
1712
1713
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
1714
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
1715
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
1716
(Robert Collins)
1717
1718
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
1719
that they be kept.
1720
1721
* Tweaks to short log printing
1722
1723
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
1724
(Aaron Bentley)
1725
1726
* If $BZR_PDB is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
1727
occurs. (Martin Pool)
1728
1729
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
1730
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
1731
1732
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
1733
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
1734
1735
* Commit editor temporary files now start with 'bzr_log.', to allow
1736
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
1737
settings. (Magnus Therning)
1738
1739
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
1740
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
1741
1742
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
1743
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
1744
requests.
1745
1746
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
1747
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
1748
1749
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
1750
(#3632, Matthieu Moy)
1751
1752
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
1753
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
1754
1755
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
1756
(Denys Duchier)
1757
1758
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
1759
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
1760
1761
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
1762
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
1763
1764
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
1765
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.

8295
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are

8297
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
8298

8314
8315
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
8316
a revision. (Robert Collins)
8317
8318
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
8319
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
8320
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
8321
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
8322
8323
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
8324
8325
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
8326

8331
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
8332
output directory, if one was supplied.
8333
8334
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
8335

8336
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as

8339
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
8340
8341
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
8342
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
8343
8344
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
8345
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
8346

regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
8364
8365
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
8366

8367
related questions. (Robert Collins)
8368
8369
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
8370

*********
8381
8382
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
8383
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
8384
representation. (Martin Pool).
8385
8386
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
8387
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
8388
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
8389
8390
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
8391
(Robert Collins)
8392
8393
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
8394
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
8395
Magnus Therning.
8396
8397
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
8398
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
8399
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
8400
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
8401
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
8402
8403
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
8404
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
8405
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
8406
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
8407
python path. (Robert Collins)
8408
8409
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
8410
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
8411
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
8412
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
8413
8414
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
8415
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
8416
8417
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
8418
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
8419
(Robert Collins)
8420
8421
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
8422
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
8423
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
8424
8425
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
8426
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
8427
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
8428
8429
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
8430
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
8431
8432
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
8433
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
8434
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
8435
(Robert Collins)
8436
8437
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
8438
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
8439
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
8440
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
8441
(Robert Collins)
8442
8443
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
8444
(Robert Collins)
8445
8446
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
8447
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
8448
(Robert Collins)
8449
8450
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
8451
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
8452
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
8453
8454
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
8455
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propagate as normal.
8456
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
8457
8458
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
8459
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
8460
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
8461
8462
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
8463
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
8464
8465
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
8466
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
8467
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
8468
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
8469
caller. (Robert Collins)
8470
8471
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
8472
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
8473
(Robert Collins).
8474
8475
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
8476
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
8477
(Aaron Bentley)
8478
8479
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
8480
8481

* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
8610
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise

8615
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
8616
8617
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
8618
8619
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
8620
we call them revisions not patches.
8621
8622
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
8623
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
8624
8625
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
8626
giving the revision *of that file*.
8627
8628
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.

NOTES:
2178
2179
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
2180

* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
2193

2195

8851
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
8852
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
8853
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.

no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
8857
8858

8859
line options must come before the command name because they
8860
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
8861
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
8862
it.

NEW FEATURES:

2440
2441
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
2442
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
2443
2444
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
2445
FOO.
2446
2447
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
2448
2449
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
2450
the Unix command.
2451
2452
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
2453
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
2454
2455
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
2456
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
2457
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)

CHANGES:
2466
2467
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
2468
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
2469
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
2470
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
2471
2472
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
2473
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
2474
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
2475
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH and DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH are then added to the
2476
standard plugins directory.
2477
2478
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
2479
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
2480
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
2481
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
2482
2483
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
2484
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
2485
2486
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
2487

8884
8885
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
8886
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
8887

8888
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
8889
