:2.3.b2: NOT RELEASED YET
19
* Add ``mainline`` revision specifier, which selects the revision that
20
merged a specified revision into the mainline. (Aaron Bentley)
22
* Add ``annotate`` revision specifier, which selects the revision that
23
introduced a specified line of a file. (Aaron Bentley)
25
* ``bzr status`` now displays a summary of existing shelves after
26
the other status information. This is done using a ``post_status``
28
(Parth Malwankar, #403687)
32
* Skip tests that needs a bzr source tree when there isn't one. This is
33
needed to succesfully run the test suite for installed versions.
34
(Vincent Ladeuil, #644855).
36
* Skip the tests that requires respecting the chmod bits when running as root.
37
(Vincent Ladeuil, #646133)
51
* When running ``bzr selftest --subunit`` the subunit stream will no
52
longer include the "log" information for tests which are considered to
53
be 'successes' (success, xfail, skip, etc) (John Arbash Meinel)
58
* Fix tests that failed when run under ``LANG=C``.
59
(Andrew Bennetts, #632387)
61
* Use tests.TestCaseInTempDir for tests that requires disk resources.
62
(Vincent Ladeuil, #650001)
69
This is the first beta of the 2.3 series, leading up to a 2.3.0
70
release in January or February. Beta releases are suitable for everyday use
71
but may cause some incompatibilities with plugins. Some plugins may need
72
small updates to work with 2.3b1.
74
2.3b1 includes some performance improvements in both speed and memory
75
consumption, some preliminary support for generating a texinfo version of
76
the doc and better support for launchpad. Many changes were made to make
77
our test suite more robust as well as numerous documentation fixes. It
78
improves the common infrastructure for dealing with colocated named
79
branches and foreign branches. We plan to continue with these themes
80
through the 2.3 series.
82
It also includes bug fixes for 2.0.6, 2.1.3 and 2.2.1 and over 40 fixes of
89
* BzrError subclasses no longer support the name "message" to be used
90
as an argument for __init__ or in _fmt format specification as this
91
breaks in some Python versions. errors.LockError.__init__ argument
92
is now named "msg" instead of earlier "message".
93
(Parth Malwankar, #603461)
95
* Additional merges after an unrelated branch has been merged with its
96
history no longer crash when deleted files are involved.
97
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel, #375898)
99
* ``bzr add SYMLINK/FILE`` now works properly when the symlink points to a
100
previously-unversioned directory within the tree: the directory is
101
marked versioned too.
102
(Martin Pool, #192859)
104
* ``bzr commit SYMLINK`` now works, rather than trying to commit the
105
target of the symlink.
106
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel, #128562)
108
* ``bzr upgrade`` now creates the ``backup.bzr`` directory with the same
109
permissions as ``.bzr`` directory on a POSIX OS.
110
(Parth Malwankar, #262450)
112
* ``bzrlib.transform.TreeTransformBase.final_kind``,
113
``bzrlib.transform.TreeTransform.tree_kind`` and
114
``bzrlib.transform.TransformPreview.tree_kind`` now return None instead
115
of raising NoSuchFile. (Vincent Ladeuil)
117
* CommitBuilder now uses the committer instead of _config.username to generate
118
the revision-id. (Aaron Bentley, #614404)
120
* Configuration files in ``${BZR_HOME}`` are now written in an atomic
121
way which should help avoid problems with concurrent writers.
122
(Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
124
* `ControlDirFormat` and `ControlDir` have been split out of `BzrDirFormat`
125
and `BzrDir`, respectively. `ControlDirFormat`
126
and `ControlDir` should be used as the base classes for new non-.bzr
129
`BzrDirFormat.register_control_format` has been renamed to
130
`ControlDirFormat.register_format`.
132
`BzrDirFormat.register_server_control_format` has been removed.
134
Probing for control directories is now done by separate objects derived
135
from `bzrlib.controldir.Prober` and registered using
136
`bzrlib.controldir.ControlDirFormat.register_prober` or
137
`bzrlib.controldir.ControlDirFormat.register_server_prober`.
138
`BzrDirFormat.probe_transport` has been moved onto `Prober`.
140
`BzrDirFormat.register_format` has been renamed to
141
`BzrProber.register_bzrdir_format`.
143
`bzrlib.bzrdir.network_format_registry` has been moved to
148
* Cope with Microsoft FTP server that returns reply '250 Directory
149
created' when mkdir succeeds. (Martin Pool, #224373)
151
* Don't traceback when a lockdir's ``held/info`` file is corrupt (e.g.
152
contains only NUL bytes). Instead warn the user, and allow ``bzr
153
break-lock`` to remove it. (Andrew Bennetts, #619872)
155
* `decode` parameter to get() method in FtpTransport and GioTransport classes
156
is deprecated. (Alexander Belchenko)
158
* `FileInWrongBranch` is deprecated in favour of `PathNotChild` and no
162
* Fix ``AttributeError on parent.children`` when adding a file under a
163
directory that was a symlink in the previous commit.
164
(Martin Pool, #192859)
166
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'close'`` in
167
``_close_ssh_proc`` when using ``bzr+ssh://``. This was causing
168
connections to pre-1.6 bzr+ssh servers to fail, and causing warnings on
169
stderr in some other circumstances. (Andrew Bennetts, #633745)
171
* Only call ``setlocale`` in the bzr startup script on posix systems. This
172
avoids an issue with the newer windows C runtimes used by Python 2.6 and
173
later which can mangle bytestrings printed to the console.
174
(Martin [gz], #631350)
176
* Prevent ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` from generating non-canonical CHK maps,
177
which can result in "missing referenced chk root keys" errors when
178
fetching from repositories with affected revisions.
179
(Andrew Bennetts, #522637)
181
* Raise ValueError instead of a string exception.
182
(John Arbash Meinel, #586926)
184
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
185
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
187
* Repositories accessed via a smart server now reject being stacked on a
188
repository in an incompatible format, as is the case when accessing them
189
via other methods. This was causing fetches from those repositories via
190
a smart server (e.g. using ``bzr branch``) to receive invalid data.
191
(Andrew Bennetts, #562380)
193
* Selftest with versions of subunit that support ``stopTestRun`` will no longer
194
error. This error was caused by 2.0 not being updated when upstream
195
python merged the end of run patch, which chose ``stopTestRun`` rather than
196
``done``. (Robert Collins, #571437)
198
* Stop ``AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'ElementTree'``
199
being thrown from ``xml_serializer`` on certain cElementTree setups.
200
(Martin [gz], #254278)
202
* The old ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` option has been removed.
203
<https://launchpad.net/bzr-usertest> is an actively-maintained
204
macrobenchmark suite.
207
* `tree_files` and `internal_tree_files` are now deprecated in favor of
208
`WorkingTree.open_containing_paths`.
211
* Upgrading or fetching from a non-rich-root repository to a rich-root
212
repository (e.g. from pack-0.92 to 2a) no longer fails with
213
``'Inter1and2Helper' object has no attribute 'source_repo'``. This was
214
a regression from Bazaar 2.1. (Andrew Bennetts, #636930)
216
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
217
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
218
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.
219
(John Arbash Meinel, #583486)
224
* Added ``pre_status`` and ``post_status`` hooks. This allows plugins
225
to register custom handlers which will be invoked before/after the
226
standard status output is displayed. (Parth Malwankar)
228
* ``bzr break-lock --config [location]`` can now break config files
229
locks. (Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
231
* ``bzrlib.config.LockableConfig`` is a base class for config files that
232
needs to be protected against multiple writers. All methods that
233
change a configuration variable value must be decorated with
234
@needs_write_lock (set_option() for example).
235
(Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
237
* The ``lp:`` prefix will now use your known username (from
238
``bzr launchpad-login``) to expand ``~`` to your username. For example:
239
``bzr launchpad-login user && bzr push lp:~/project/branch`` will now
240
push to ``lp:~user/project/branch``. (John Arbash Meinel)
242
* New development format ``development8-subtree`` which is similar to the
243
``2a`` format and adds subtree support. (Jelmer Vernooij)
248
* Fix traceback with python-2.7's xmlrpclib
249
(Toshio Kuratomi, #612096)
251
* Allow using both --using and --diff-options.
252
(Matthäus G. Chajdas, #234708)
254
* Allow using non-integer bug ID with generic bug trackers.
255
(Alexandre Garnier, #440472)
257
* ``bzr add SYMLINK/FILE`` now works properly when the symlink points to a
258
previously-unversioned directory within the tree: the directory is
259
marked versioned too.
260
(Martin Pool, #192859)
262
* ``bzr ignore PATTERNS`` exits with error if a bad pattern is supplied.
263
``InvalidPattern`` exception error message now shows faulting
265
(Parth Malwankar #300062)
267
* ``clean-tree`` issues a warning if it is unable to delete a file
268
due to ``errno.EACCES`` instead of exiting with an error on Windows.
269
(Parth Malwankar, #430785)
271
* CommitBuilder now uses the committer instead of _config.username to generate
272
the revision-id. (Aaron Bentley, #614404)
274
* Configuration files in ``${BZR_HOME}`` are now protected against
275
concurrent writers by using a lock. (Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
277
* Cope with Microsoft FTP Server and VSFTPd that return reply '250
278
Directory created' when mkdir succeeds. (Martin Pool, #224373)
280
* Decrease peak memory during ``bzr send``. The old code was caching all
281
text content and all inventory strings for all revisions before
282
computing the diffs. Now we only cache as long as there is a child that
283
will need them. Sending 2000 bzr revisions drops from 1.2GB peak to
284
256MB peak. (John Arbash Meinel, #614576)
286
* Don't print internal object name when print an invalid revision spec
287
error. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #598701)
289
* Don't traceback when a lockdir's ``held/info`` file is corrupt (e.g.
290
contains only NUL bytes). Instead warn the user, and allow ``bzr
291
break-lock`` to remove it. (Andrew Bennetts, #619872)
293
* ``EPIPE`` can be raised during test server shutdown. This happened on
294
gentoo only so far. (Vincent Ladeuil, #627277)
296
* Errors occurring during http(s) test server starts should now be
297
handled cleanly. (Vincent Ladeuil, #392402)
299
* Fix ``AttributeError on parent.children`` when adding a file under a
300
directory that was a symlink in the previous commit.
301
(Martin Pool, #192859)
303
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'close'`` in
304
``_close_ssh_proc`` when using ``bzr+ssh://``. This was causing
305
connections to pre-1.6 bzr+ssh servers to fail, and causing warnings on
306
stderr in some other circumstances. (Andrew Bennetts, #633745)
308
* Fix spurious paramiko warning on hardy by ensuring that ``selftest``
309
properly remove its warning filter. (Vincent Ladeuil, #625686)
311
* ``HTTP/1.1`` test servers now set a ``Content-Length`` header to comply
312
with pedantic ``HTTP/1.1`` clients. (Vincent Ladeuil, #568421)
314
* Most of the leaked threads during selftest are now fixed, allowing the
315
full test suite to pass on gentoo.
316
(Vincent Ladeuil, #392127)
318
* Only call ``setlocale`` in the bzr startup script on posix systems. This
319
avoids an issue with the newer windows C runtimes used by Python 2.6 and
320
later which can mangle bytestrings printed to the console.
321
(Martin [gz], #631350)
323
* `PathNotChild` should not give a traceback.
324
(Martin Pool, #98735)
326
* ``PQM`` will no longer ignore syntax errors in submissions.
327
(Vincent Ladeuil, #626667)
329
* Prevent ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` from generating non-canonical CHK maps,
330
which can result in "missing referenced chk root keys" errors when
331
fetching from repositories with affected revisions.
332
(Andrew Bennetts, #522637)
334
* strace test-helper tests cope with the new Ubuntu policy of not allowing
335
users to attach to their own processes by default.
336
(Martin Pool, #626679)
338
* Test classes like ``TestCase``, ``TestLoader``, and ``TestSuite`` should
339
be available from ``bzrlib.tests.*``. They used to be, but were
340
accidentally removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #627438)
342
* Treat all IO, OS, and socket errors consistently when establishing
343
SSH/SFTP connections via a subprocess. (Andrew Bennetts)
345
* ``Transport.stat`` on a symlink, including a transport pointing directly
346
to a symlink, now returns information about the symlink.
349
* Upgrading or fetching from a non-rich-root repository to a rich-root
350
repository (e.g. from pack-0.92 to 2a) no longer fails with
351
``'Inter1and2Helper' object has no attribute 'source_repo'``.
352
(Andrew Bennetts, #636930)
354
* Wait for the SSH server to actually finish, rather than just waiting for
355
it to negotiate the key exchange. (John Arbash Meinel, #626876)
360
* ``bzr remove`` now just backs up changed files instead of exiting,
361
forcing you to choose to either keep or delete them. Bazaar will now delete
362
the files if they can easily be recovered using revert, otherwise they
363
will be backed up (adding an extention of the form .~#~).
364
(Marius Kruger, #400554)
366
* ``bzr revert`` and ``bzr status`` are up to 15% faster on large trees
367
with many changes by not repeatedly building a list of all file-ids.
370
* Decrease memory consumption when many chk index pages are loaded. (Such
371
as during ``bzr co`` or ``bzr ls -R`` of a large tree.) Often we need to
372
read many chk pages because the individual chk map nodes will be spread
373
randomly. Peak memory for 'bzr ls -R' on a large tree dropped from 396MB
374
down to 247MB, expect even more significant savings on 64-bit platforms.
377
* ``DirState`` internals use a little bit less memory. For bzr.dev it
378
drops the memory from 1MB down to about 800kB. And replaces a few
379
thousand tuples and sets with StaticTuple. (John Arbash Meinel)
381
* Inventory entries now consume less memory (on 32-bit Ubuntu file entries
382
have dropped from 68 bytes to 40, and directory entries from 120 bytes
383
to 48). (Andrew Bennetts)
385
* When building new working trees, default to reading from the repository
386
rather than the source tree unless explicitly requested. (via
387
``--files-from`` and ``--hardlink`` for ``bzr branch`` and
388
``bzr checkout``. Generally, 2a format repositories extract
389
content faster than seeking and reading content from another tree,
390
especially in cold-cache situations. (John Arbash Meinel, #607298)
392
* Add ``__pycache__`` to the default ``ignores`` file. Future releases of
393
Python will use this directory to store bytecodes.
394
(Andrea Corbellini, #626687)
399
* Added a builder/writer sphinx extension that can generate texinfo files. The
400
generated files are syntactically correct but the info navigation nodes
401
needs more work. (Vincent Ladeuil, #219334)
403
* First tests defined for sphinx, including a new bzrlib.tests.features.sphinx
404
to make the tests conditional.
407
* Fix a lot of references in the docs to the old http://bazaar-vcs.org to
408
the new http://bazaar.canonical.com or http://wiki.bazaar.canonical.com
409
(John Arbash Meinel, #617503)
411
* Suggest ``bzr revert`` for restoring locally deleted files in help text
412
for ``bzr update``. (John C Barstow, #191466)
417
* Configuration files should now use the ``from_string`` constructor rather
418
than the ``file`` parameter of the ``_get_parser`` method. The later has
419
been deprecated. ``from_string`` also accept a ``save=True`` parameter to
420
have the configuration file immediately written to disk.
423
* Deprecate treating a `PushResult` and `PullResult` as an integer for the
424
relative change in revno.
427
* ``IniBaseConfig`` objects should now use the ``from_string`` constructor
428
the rather than the ``file`` parameter of the ``_get_parser`` method. The
429
later has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
431
* InventoryEntry instances now raise AttributeError if you try to assign
432
to attributes that are irrelevant to that kind of entry. e.g. setting
433
``symlink_target`` on an InventoryFile will fail. It is still okay to
434
read those attributes on any kind of InventoryEntry. The complete list
435
of affected attributes is: ``executable``, ``text_id``, ``text_sha1``,
436
``text_size`` (only valid for kind == file); ``symlink_target`` (only
437
valid for kind == link); and ``reference_revision`` (only valid for kind
438
== tree-reference). (Andrew Bennetts)
440
* InventoryEntry objects no longer have ``_put_in_tar`` or
441
``_put_on_disk`` methods. (Andrew Bennetts)
443
* The ``get_filename`` parameter in the ``config.IniBaseConfig``
444
constructor has been deprecated, use the ``file_name`` parameter instead.
450
* Remove used and broken code path in ``BranchInitHookParams.__repr__``.
456
* ``build_tree_contents`` can create symlinks.
457
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
459
* Catch socket errors to avoid
460
bt.test_sftp_transport.SSHVendorBadConnection.test_bad_connection_ssh
461
random failures. (Vincent Ladeuil, #601804)
463
* HTTP test servers will leak less threads (and sockets) and will not hang on
464
AIX anymore. (Vincent Ladeuil, #405745)
466
* On platforms that don't support forking give a nice error message saying so
467
when ``bzr selftest --parallel=fork`` is used. (Martin [gz], #528730)
469
* Rearrange thread leak detection code to eliminate global state and make it
470
possible to extend the reporting. (Marting [gz], #633462)
472
* Suppress the "maximum recursion depth exceeded in __subclasscheck__"
473
warning on stderr emitted during ``test_dict_deepnested`` in
474
``bzrlib/tests/test__bencode.py``. (Andrew Bennetts)
476
* The test suite now simply holds log files in memory, rather than writing them
477
out to disk and then reading them back in and deleting them.
480
* The way ``bzr selftest --parallel`` generates N partitions of tests to
481
run in parallel has changed. Instead of splitting the list of tests at
482
N-1 points, it distributes the tests one-by-one into the partitions in a
483
round robin fashion. This reduces the total time to run the tests in
484
parallel because a series of slow tests in the test suite will be
485
distributed evenly among the parallel test suites, rather than slowing
486
down just one suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
488
* Tracebacks from a parameterized test are no longer reported against every
489
parameterization of that test. This was done by adding a hack to
490
``bzrlib.tests.clone_test`` so that it no longer causes
491
testtools.TestCase instances to share a details dict.
492
(Andrew Bennetts, #625574)
498
:2.2.2: NOT RELEASED YET
509
* Skip tests that needs a bzr source tree when there isn't one. This is
510
needed to succesfully run the test suite for installed versions.
511
(Vincent Ladeuil, #644855).
513
* Skip the tests that requires respecting the chmod bits when running as root.
514
(Vincent Ladeuil, #646133)
531
* Fix tests that failed when run under ``LANG=C``.
532
(Andrew Bennetts, #632387)
540
This is a bugfix release which also includes bugfixes from 2.0.6 and
541
2.1.3. None are critical, but upgrading is recommended for all users on
542
earlier 2.2 releases.
547
* Additional merges after an unrelated branch has been merged with its
548
history no longer crash when deleted files are involved.
549
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel, #375898)
551
* ``bzr add SYMLINK/FILE`` now works properly when the symlink points to a
552
previously-unversioned directory within the tree: the directory is
553
marked versioned too.
554
(Martin Pool, #192859)
556
* ``bzr commit SYMLINK`` now works, rather than trying to commit the
557
target of the symlink.
558
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel, #128562)
560
* ``bzr upgrade`` now creates the ``backup.bzr`` directory with the same
561
permissions as ``.bzr`` directory on a POSIX OS.
562
(Parth Malwankar, #262450)
564
* CommitBuilder now uses the committer instead of _config.username to generate
565
the revision-id. (Aaron Bentley, #614404)
567
* Configuration files in ``${BZR_HOME}`` are now written in an atomic
568
way which should help avoid problems with concurrent writers.
569
(Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
571
* Cope with Microsoft FTP server that returns reply '250 Directory
572
created' when mkdir succeeds. (Martin Pool, #224373)
574
* Don't traceback trying to unversion children files of an already
575
unversioned directory. (Vincent Ladeuil, #494221)
577
* Don't traceback when a lockdir's ``held/info`` file is corrupt (e.g.
578
contains only NUL bytes). Instead warn the user, and allow ``bzr
579
break-lock`` to remove it. (Andrew Bennetts, #619872)
581
* Fix ``AttributeError on parent.children`` when adding a file under a
582
directory that was a symlink in the previous commit.
583
(Martin Pool, #192859)
585
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'close'`` in
586
``_close_ssh_proc`` when using ``bzr+ssh://``. This was causing
587
connections to pre-1.6 bzr+ssh servers to fail, and causing warnings on
588
stderr in some other circumstances. (Andrew Bennetts, #633745)
590
* Only call ``setlocale`` in the bzr startup script on posix systems. This
591
avoids an issue with the newer windows C runtimes used by Python 2.6 and
592
later which can mangle bytestrings printed to the console.
593
(Martin [gz], #631350)
595
* Prevent ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` from generating non-canonical CHK maps,
596
which can result in "missing referenced chk root keys" errors when
597
fetching from repositories with affected revisions.
598
(Andrew Bennetts, #522637)
600
* Raise ValueError instead of a string exception.
601
(John Arbash Meinel, #586926)
603
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
604
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
606
* Repositories accessed via a smart server now reject being stacked on a
607
repository in an incompatible format, as is the case when accessing them
608
via other methods. This was causing fetches from those repositories via
609
a smart server (e.g. using ``bzr branch``) to receive invalid data.
610
(Andrew Bennetts, #562380)
612
* Selftest with versions of subunit that support ``stopTestRun`` will no longer
613
error. This error was caused by 2.0 not being updated when upstream
614
python merged the end of run patch, which chose ``stopTestRun`` rather than
615
``done``. (Robert Collins, #571437)
617
* Stop ``AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'ElementTree'``
618
being thrown from ``xml_serializer`` on certain cElementTree setups.
619
(Martin [gz], #254278)
621
* Upgrading or fetching from a non-rich-root repository to a rich-root
622
repository (e.g. from pack-0.92 to 2a) no longer fails with
623
``'Inter1and2Helper' object has no attribute 'source_repo'``. This was
624
a regression from Bazaar 2.1. (Andrew Bennetts, #636930)
626
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
627
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
628
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.
629
(John Arbash Meinel, #583486)
634
* Fix a lot of references in the docs to the old http://bazaar-vcs.org to
635
the new http://bazaar.canonical.com or http://wiki.bazaar.canonical.com
636
(John Arbash Meinel, #617503)
641
* Remove used and broken code path in ``BranchInitHookParams.__repr__``.
647
* ``build_tree_contents`` can create symlinks.
648
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
650
* Tracebacks from a parameterized test are no longer reported against every
651
parameterization of that test. This was done by adding a hack to
652
``bzrlib.tests.clone_test`` so that it no longer causes
653
testtools.TestCase instances to share a details dict.
654
(Andrew Bennetts, #625574)
660
:2.1.4: NOT RELEASED YET
671
* Skip tests that needs a bzr source tree when there isn't one. This is
672
needed to succesfully run the test suite for installed versions.
673
(Vincent Ladeuil, #644855).
675
* Skip the tests that requires respecting the chmod bits when running as root.

:Codename: Do run run
700
The third release in our 2.1 series addresses several user-inconvenience bugs
701
(and includes the fixes done in 2.0.6). None are critical, but upgrading is
702
recommended for all users on earlier 2.1 releases.
707
* Additional merges after an unrelated branch has been merged with its
708
history no longer crash when deleted files are involved.
709
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel, #375898)
711
* ``bzr add SYMLINK/FILE`` now works properly when the symlink points to a

713
marked versioned too.

718
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel, #128562)
720

721
permissions as ``.bzr`` directory on a POSIX OS.
722
(Parth Malwankar, #262450)
724
* Configuration files in ``${BZR_HOME}`` are now written in an atomic
725
way which should help avoid problems with concurrent writers.
726
(Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
728
* Don't traceback trying to unversion children files of an already
729
unversioned directory. (Vincent Ladeuil, #494221)
731
* Don't traceback when a lockdir's ``held/info`` file is corrupt (e.g.
732
contains only NUL bytes). Instead warn the user, and allow ``bzr
733
break-lock`` to remove it. (Andrew Bennetts, #619872)
735
* Fix ``AttributeError on parent.children`` when adding a file under a
736
directory that was a symlink in the previous commit.
737
(Martin Pool, #192859)

853
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
862
This release marks the start of another long-term-stable series. From
863
here, we will only make bugfix releases on the 2.2 series (2.2.1, etc),
864
while 2.3 will become our new development series. The 2.0 and 2.1 series
865
will also continue to get bugfixes. (Currently 2.0 is planned to be
866
supported for another 6 months.)
868
This is primarily a bugfix and polish release over the 2.1 series, with
869
a large number of bugs fixed (>120), and some performance improvements.
871
There are some compatibility changes in this release. For users of bzrlib
872
as a library, we now request that they call ``bzrlib.initialize`` and use
873
the returned context manager appropriately. For commandline users we no
874
longer guess user identity for ``bzr commit``, users must specify their
875
identity using ``bzr whoami`` (you don't need to specify your identity for
876
readonly operations).
878
Users are encouraged to upgrade from the other stable series.
883
* BzrError subclasses no longer support the name "message" to be used
884
as an argument for __init__ or in _fmt format specification as this
885
breaks in some Python versions. errors.LockError.__init__ argument
886
is now named "msg" instead of earlier "message".
887
(Parth Malwankar, #603461)
889
* The old ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` option has been removed.
890
<https://launchpad.net/bzr-usertest> is an actively-maintained
891
macrobenchmark suite.
897
* ``bzr ignore PATTERNS`` exits with error if a bad pattern is supplied.
898
``InvalidPattern`` exception error message now shows faulting
900
(Parth Malwankar #300062)
902
* Configuration files in ``${BZR_HOME}`` are now written in an atomic
903
way which should help avoid problems with concurrent writers.
904
(Vincent Ladeuil, #525571)
906
* Don't traceback trying to unversion children files of an already
907
unversioned directory. (Vincent Ladeuil, #494221)
909
* ``HTTP/1.1`` test servers now set a ``Content-Length`` header to comply
910
with pedantic ``HTTP/1.1`` clients. (Vincent Ladeuil, #568421)
912
* Progress bars prefer to truncate the text message rather than the
913
counters. The spinner is shown between the network transfer indicator
914
and the progress message. Progress bars are correctly cleared off when
915
they finish. (Martin Pool, #611127)
917
* Recursive binding for checkouts is now detected by bzr. A clear error
918
message is shown to the user. (Parth Malwankar, #405192)
923
* Add ``bzrlib.merge.MergeIntoMerger``, which can merge part or all of a
924
tree, and works with unrelated branches. (Andrew Bennetts)
926
* Add py2exe windows target ``bzrw.exe``. This allow for starting a Bazaar
927
GUI with out have a console open in the background.
928
(Gary van der Merwe, #433781)
933
* ``bzr help patterns`` now explains case insensitive patterns and
934
points to Python regular expression documentation.
935
(Parth Malwankar, #594386)
940
* Delete ``ProgressTask.note``, which was deprecated in 2.1.
945
* Unit test added to ensure that "message" is not uses as a format variable
946
name in BzrError subclasses as this conflicts with some Python versions.
947
(Parth Malwankar, #603461)
952
:Codename: Monkey Magic
956
This fourth and final beta in the 2.2 series now stabilizes the internal
957
APIs. Plugin authors are recommended to ensure their releases are
958
compatible, so that 2.2rc1 can be a true release candidate, containing
959
stable and compatible plugin versions.
961
For users of bzrlib as a library, one of the primary changes is to request
962
that they call ``bzrlib.initialize`` and use the returned context manager
965
Better interaction with ``bzr-loom`` to make sure branching from a loom
966
even over a smart server still yields a local loom. Not to mention lots of
972
* bzrlib library users now need to call ``__enter__`` and ``__exit__`` on
973
the result of ``bzrlib.initialize``. This change was made when fixing
974
the bad habit recent bzr versions have had of leaving progress bars
975
behind on the screen. That required calling another function before
976
exiting the program, and it made sense to provide a full context
977
manager at the same time. (Robert Collins)
979
* The ``bzr`` front end now requires a ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory`` which is a
980
context manager in the Python 2.5 and above sense. The bzrlib base class
981
is such a manager, but third party UI factories which do not derive from
982
``bzrlib.ui.UIFactory`` will be incompatible with the command line front
985
* URLs like ``foo:bar/baz`` are now always parsed as a URL with scheme "foo"
986
and path "bar/baz", even if bzr does not recognize "foo" as a known URL
987
scheme. Previously these URLs would be treated as local paths.
994
* Support ``--directory`` option for a number of additional commands:
995
conflicts, merge-directive, missing, resolve, shelve, switch,
996
unshelve, whoami. (Martin von Gagern, #527878)
1001
* ``bzr branch`` to a new repository with a default stacking policy no
1002
longer transfers the full history unnecessarily.
1003
(Andrew Bennetts, #597942)
1005
* ``bzr init`` does not recursively scan directory contents anymore
1006
leading to faster init for directories with existing content.
1007
(Martin [gz], Parth Malwankar, #501307)
1009
* ``bzr log --exclude-common-ancestry`` is now taken into account for
1010
linear ancetries. (Vincent Ladeuil, #575631)
1012
* ``bzr log -r branch:REMOTE`` can now properly log the remote branch,
1013
rather than trying to fetch the data locally and failing because of a
1014
readonly error. (Martin von Gagern, #149270)
1016
* ``bzr pull`` now works when a lp: URL is explicitly defined as the parent
1017
or pull location in locations.conf or branch.conf.
1018
(Gordon Tyler, #534787)
1020
* ``bzr reconfigure --unstacked`` now works with branches accessed via a
1021
smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #551525)
1023
* ``BzrDir.find_branches`` should ignore branches with missing repositories.
1024
(Marius Kruger, Robert Collins)
1026
* ``BzrDir.find_bzrdirs`` should ignore dirs that raises PermissionDenied.
1027
(Marius Kruger, Robert Collins)
1029
* Ensure that wrong path specifications in ``BZR_PLUGINS_AT`` display
1030
proper error messages. (Vincent Ladeuil, #591215)
1032
* Explicitly removing ``--profile-imports`` option from parsed command-line
1033
arguments on Windows, because bzr script does the same.
1034
(Alexander Belchenko, #588277)
1036
* Fetching was slightly confused about the best code to use and was
1037
using a new code path for all branches, resulting in more lookups than
1038
necessary on old branches. (Robert Collins, #593515)
1040
* Final fix for 'no help for command' issue. We now show a clean message
1041
when a command has no help, document how to set help more clearly, and
1042
test that all commands available to the test suite have help.
1043
(Robert Collins, #177500)
1045
* Invalid patterns supplied to ``Globster`` or ``lazy_regex`` now raise
1046
``InvalidPattern`` exception showing clear error message to the user.
1047
(Parth Malwankar #300062)
1049
* Progress output is cleaned up when exiting. (Aaron Bentley)
1051
* Raise ValueError instead of a string exception.
1052
(John Arbash Meinel, #586926)
1054
* Relative imports in plugins are now handled correctly when using
1055
BZR_PLUGINS_AT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #588959)
1057
* ``ScriptRunner`` now strips off leading indentation from test scripts,
1058
which previously caused "SyntaxError: No command for line".
1061
* Show unicode filenames in diff headers using terminal encoding.
1062
(Alexander Belchenko, Bug #382699)
1063
NOTE for Windows users: If user need to save diff to file then user need to
1064
change encoding of the terminal to ANSI encoding with command ``chcp XXX``
1065
(e.g. ``chcp 1251`` for Russian Windows).
1067
* URL displayed for use with ``break-lock`` when smart server sees lock
1068
contention are now valid. Default timeout for lock contention retry is
1069
now 30 seconds instead of 300 seconds.
1070
(Parth Malwankar, #250451)
1072
* ``walkdirs`` now raises a useful message when the filenames are not using
1073
the filesystem encoding. (Eric Moritz, #488519)
1075
* Enable debugging of bzr on windows with pdb and other tools. This was
1076
broken because we call GetCommandLineW on windows. The fix adjusts the
1077
command line we get to be the same length as sys.argv.
1078
(Jason Spashett, Alexander Belchenko, #587868)
1083
* Bazaar now reads data from SSH connections more efficiently on platforms
1084
that provide the ``socketpair`` function, and when using paramiko.
1085
(Andrew Bennetts, #590637)
1087
* ``Branch.copy_content_into`` is now a convenience method dispatching to
1088
a ``InterBranch`` multi-method. This permits ``bzr-loom`` and other
1089
plugins to intercept this even when a ``RemoteBranch`` proxy is in use.
1090
(Robert Collins, #201613)
1092
* ``Branch`` formats can now be loaded lazily by registering a
1093
``MetaDirBranchFormatFactory`` rather than an actual format. This will
1094
cause the named format class to be loaded only when an enumeration of
1095
formats is needed or when the format string for the object is
1096
encountered. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij)
1098
* The encoding that bzr uses to output things other than file content can
1099
now be overridden via the output_encoding configuration option.
1100
(Martin Pool, #340394)
1102
* Use lazy imports in ``bzrlib/merge.py`` so that plugins like ``news_merge``
1103
do not cause modules to be loaded unnecessarily just because the plugin
1104
registers a merge hook. This improves ``bzr rocks`` time by about 25%
1105
in a default installation (with just the core plugins).
1111
* Added ``regression`` tag to our tags list. (Robert Collins)
1113
* Improved our release checklist to have a bit less churn and leave things
1114
ready-to-go for the next action (including other people doing
1115
development). (Robert Collins)
1117
* Remove obsolete discussion of PQM in documentation about how to
1118
contribute to Bazaar. (Martin Pool, #588444)
1123
* ``bzrlib.branch.InterBranch._get_branch_formats_to_test`` now returns
1124
an iterable of format pairs, rather than just a single pair, permitting
1125
InterBranch objects that work with multiple permutations to be
1126
comprehensively tested. (Robert Collins)
1128
* ``bzrlib.lsprof.profile`` will no longer silently generate bad threaded
1129
profiles when concurrent profile requests are made. Instead the profile
1130
requests will be serialised. Reentrant requests will now deadlock.
1133
* ``bzrlib.knit.KnitSequenceMatcher``, which has been deprecated since
1134
2007, has been deleted. Use ``PatienceSequenceMatcher`` from
1135
``bzrlib.patiencediff`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
1137
* ``bzrlib.re_compile_checked`` is now deprecated. Caller should handle
1138
``bzrlib.errors.InvalidPattern`` exception thrown by ``re.match`` in
1139
case the default error message not suitable for the use case.
1142
* ``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.ExternalBase`` is deprecated. It provided only
1143
one method ``check_output``, and we now recommend checking command
1144
output using ``run_script``. (Martin Pool)
1146
* ``bzrlib.transport.ssh.SSHVendor.connect_ssh`` now returns an object
1147
that implements the interface of ``bzrlib.transport.ssh.SSHConnection``.
1148
Third-party implementations of ``SSHVendor`` may need to be updated
1149
accordingly. Similarly, any code using ``SSHConnection`` directly will
1150
need to be updated. (Andrew Bennetts)
1152
* The constructor of ``bzrilb.smart.medium.SmartSSHClientMedium`` has
1153
changed to take an ``SSHParams`` instance (replacing many individual
1154
values). (Andrew Bennetts)
1159
* ``bzrlib.osutils.get_terminal_encoding`` will now only mutter its
1160
selection when explicitly requested; this avoids many duplicate calls
1161
being logged when helpers, wrappers and older code that manually calls
1162
it are executed it is now logged deliberately by the ui setup code.
1165
* Improved ``bzrlib.urlutils`` to handle lp:foo/bar URLs. (Gordon Tyler)
1167
* ``bzrlib._c_static_tuple.StaticTuple`` now implements ``__sizeof__``, so
1168
that ``sys.getsizeof`` and other memory analysis tools will report more
1169
accurate results. (Andrew Bennetts)
1171
* The symbol_versioning module can now cleanup after itself -
1172
``suppress_deprecation_warnings`` now returns a cleanup function.
1178
* Add ``bzrlib.tests.fixtures`` to hold code for setting up objects
1179
to test. (Martin Pool)
1181
* ``test_import_tariff`` now respects BZR_PLUGINS_AT and BZR_PLUGINS_DISABLE.
1182
(Vincent Ladeuil, #595587)
1189
This third beta in the 2.2 series brings with it all the goodness of 2.1.2
1190
and 2.0.6 (though it preceeds 2.0.6 slightly). Of particular note for
1191
users are compatibility fixes with bzr 1.5 and below servers, a hopeful
1192
end to the EINTR errors caused by SIGWINCH interactions, a shiny new
1193
bash completion script and bzr will no longer guess at identity details -
1194
it was too unreliable in reality. Use ``bzr whoami`` on every new install.
1195
For developers we have some API changes which may impact plugins as well
1196
as a bunch of our regular improvements to internal clarity and test
1199
Compatibility Breaks
1200
********************
1202
* An API break has been made to the lock_write method of ``Branch`` and
1203
``Repository`` objects; they now return ``branch.BranchWriteLockResult``
1204
and ``repository.RepositoryWriteLockResult`` objects. This makes
1205
changing the API in future easier and permits some cleaner calling code.
1206
The lock_read method has also changed from having no defined return
1207
value to returning ``LogicalLockResult`` objects.
1210
* ``bzr`` does not try to guess the username as ``username@hostname``
1211
and requires it to be explictly set. This can be set using ``bzr
1212
whoami``. (Parth Malwankar, #549310)
1214
* ``bzrlib.commands.Command`` will now raise ValueError during
1215
construction if there is no __doc__ set. (Note, this will be reverted in
1216
2.2b4) (Robert Collins)
1218
* The source tree no longer contains a contrib/zsh/_bzr completion
1219
script. The new file contrib/zsh/README suggests alternatives.
1220
(Martin von Gagern, #560030)
1225
* ``bzr commit`` accepts ``-p`` (for "patch") as a shorter name for
1227
(Parth Malwankar, #571467)
1229
* ``bzr ignore`` now supports a ``--default-rules`` option that displays
1230
the default ignore rules used by bzr. The flag ``--old-default-rules``
1231
is no longer supported by ``ignore``.
1232
(Parth Malwankar, #538703)
1234
* ``bzr pack`` now supports a ``--clean-obsolete-packs`` option that
1235
can save disk space by deleting obsolete pack files created during the
1237
(Parth Malwankar, #304320)
1239
* New command line option ``--authors`` to ``bzr log`` allows users to
1240
select which of the apparent authors and committer should be
1241
included in the log. Defaults depend on format. (Martin von Gagern, #513322)
1243
* Support ``--directory`` option for a number of additional commands:
1244
added, annotate, bind, cat, cat-revision, clean-tree, deleted,
1245
export, ignore, ignored, lookup-revision, ls, modified, nick,
1246
re-sign, unbind, unknowns.
1247
(Martin von Gagern, #527878)
1249
* The bash_completion plugin from the bzr-bash-completion project has
1250
been merged into the tree. It provides a bash-completion command and
1251
replaces the outdated ``contrib/bash/bzr`` script with a version
1252
using the plugin. (Martin von Gagern, #560030)
1254
* A new transport based on GIO (the gnome i/o library) provides access to
1255
samba shares, webdav using gio+smb and gio+dav. It is also possible to
1256
use gio for some already existing transport methods as gio+file,
1263
* Alias information shown by ``bzr help`` is now accurate. This
1264
was showing an internal object name for some plugin aliases.
1265
(Parth Malwankar, #584650)
1267
* ``.bazaar``, ``.bazaar/bazaar.conf`` and ``.bzr.log`` inherit user and
1268
group ownership from the containing directory. This allow bzr to work
1270
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, Parth Malwankar, #376388)
1272
* ``bzr clean-tree`` should not delete nested bzrdirs. Required for proper
1273
support of bzr-externals and scmproj plugins.
1274
(Alexander Belchenko, bug #572098)
1276
* ``bzr ignore`` will no longer add duplicate patterns to .bzrignore.
1277
(Gordon Tyler, #572092)
1279
* ``bzr log --exclude-common-ancestry -r X..Y`` displays the revisions that
1280
are part of Y ancestry but not part of X ancestry (aka the graph
1282
(Vincent Ladeuil, #320119)
1284
* ``bzr lp-propose`` which was switched to use production Launchpad API
1285
servers a few commits ago has been reverted to use edge: there is a
1286
problem with using production which isn't trivially obvious, so we've
1287
filed a bug to track it, and until thats fixed will be using edge.
1288
(Robert Collins, #583667)
1290
* ``bzr rm`` should not refuse to delete directories which contained a file
1291
which has been moved elsewhere in the tree after the previous commit.
1292
(Marius Kruger, Daniel Watkins, #129880)
1294
* ``bzr selftest --parallel=fork`` wait for its children avoiding zombies.
1295
(Vincent Ladeuil, #566670)
1297
* ``bzr selftest`` should not use ui.note() since it's not unicode safe.
1298
(Vincent Ladeuil, #563997)
1300
* CommitBuilder refuses to create revisions whose trees have no root.
1303
* Do not register a SIGWINCH signal handler, instead just poll for the
1304
terminal width as needed. This avoids the "Interrupted System Call"
1305
problems that occur on POSIX with all currently released versions of
1307
(Andrew Bennetts, #583941)
1309
* Don't mention --no-strict when we just issue the warning about unclean trees.
1310
(Vincent Ladeuil, #401599)
1312
* Fixed ``AssertionError`` when accessing smart servers running Bazaar
1313
versions before 1.6.
1314
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
1316
* Improved progress bar for fetch (2a format only). Bazaar now shows an
1317
estimate of the number of records to be fetched vs actually fetched.
1318
(Parth Malwankar, #374740, #538868)
1320
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
1321
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
1323
* ``RemoteBranch.lock_write`` raises ``ReadOnlyError`` if called during a
1324
read lock, rather than causing an ``AttributeError``.
1325
(Andrew Bennetts, Данило Шеган, #582781)
1327
* Selftest was failing with testtools 0.9.3, which caused an
1328
AssertionError raised from a cleanUp to be reported as a Failure, not an
1329
Error, breaking on of our test hygiene tests.
1330
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil).
1332
* ``set_user_option`` with a dict on remote branches no longer fails with
1333
an AttributeError. There is a new ``Branch.set_config_option_dict`` RPC
1334
to support this efficiently.
1335
(Andrew Bennetts, #430382)
1337
* Show the filenames when a file rename fails so that the error will be
1338
more comprehensible.
1339
(Martin Pool, #491763)
1341
* Support Pyrex 0.9.9, required changing how we handle exceptions in Pyrex.
1342
(John Arbash Meinel, #582656)
1344
* Unicode characters in aliases are now handled correctly and do not cause
1345
UnicodeEncodeError exception. (Parth Malwankar, #529930)
1347
* Unicode commit messages that are the same as a file name no longer cause
1348
UnicodeEncodeError. ``ui.text.show_warning`` now handles unicode
1350
(Parth Malwankar, #563646)
1352
* Using bzr with `lp:` urls behind an http proxy should work.
1353
(Robert Collins, #558343)
1355
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
1356
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
1357
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.
1358
(John Arbash Meinel, #583486)
1363
* ``append_revisions_only`` will now be interpreted as a boolean and a
1364
warning emitted if illegal values are used. Note that for projects
1365
that needs to maintain compatibility with previsous bzr versions,
1366
only 'True' and 'False' strings must be used (previous versions of
1367
bzr will interpret all strings differing from 'True'
1368
(case-sensitive) as false.
1369
(Brian de Alwis, Vincent Ladeuil)
1371
* ``bzr ls`` now supports short options for existing long options.
1372
``-k/--kind``, ``-i/--ignored``, ``-u/--unknown`` and ``-0/--null``.
1373
(Parth Malwankar, #181124)
1375
* ``Config.get_user_option_as_bool`` will now warn if a value cannot
1376
be interpreted as a boolean.
1379
* The all-in-one Windows installer will now be built with docstrings stripped
1380
from the library zip, reducing the size and slightly improving cold startup
1381
time. Bundled plugins are unchanged for the moment, but if adding other new
1382
plugins to an all-in-one installation, ensure they are compiled and
1383
installed with -O1 or help may not work. (Martin [gz])
1388
* Added ``bzrlib.merge.PerFileMerger``, a more convenient way to write
1389
some kinds of ``merge_file_content`` hook functions.
1392
* `BzrDir`, `Branch`, `Repository` and `WorkingTree` now all support `user_url`,
1393
`user_transport`, `control_url` and `control_transport` members pointing
1394
respectively to the directory containing the ``.bzr`` control directory,
1395
and to the directory within ``.bzr`` used for the particular component.
1396
All of them inherit from `ControlComponent` which provides default
1400
* Lock methods on ``Tree``, ``Branch`` and ``Repository`` are now
1401
expected to return an object which can be used to unlock them. This reduces
1402
duplicate code when using cleanups. The previous 'tokens's returned by
1403
``Branch.lock_write`` and ``Repository.lock_write`` are now attributes
1404
on the result of the lock_write. ``repository.RepositoryWriteLockResult``
1405
and ``branch.BranchWriteLockResult`` document this. (Robert Collins)
1407
* ``Repository.refresh_data`` may now be called in a write group on
1408
pack-based repositories. Older repositories will still raise an error
1409
in this case. Subclasses of ``Repository`` can still override
1410
``Repository._refresh_data``, but are now responsible for raising
1411
``bzrlib.repository.IsInWriteGroupError`` if they do not support
1412
``refresh_data`` during a write group.
1413
(Andrew Bennetts, #574236)
1418
* ``chk_map._bytes_to_text_key`` is now an optimized function to extract
1419
the (file-id, revision-id) key from a CHKInventory entry. This can
1420
potentially shave 5-10% time off during a large fetch. Related to bug
1421
#562666. (John Arbash Meinel)
1423
* ``log._get_info_for_log_files`` now takes an add_cleanup callable.
1426
* ``_remember_remote_is_before`` no longer raises AssertionError when
1427
suboptimal network behaviour is noticed; instead it just mutters to the
1428
log file (and warns the user if they have set the ``hpss`` debug flag).
1429
This was causing unnecessary aborts for performance bugs that are minor
1431
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
1433
* Permit bzr to run under ``python -OO`` which reduces the size of bytecode
1434
files loaded from disk. To ensure docstrings needed for help are never
1435
stripped, the prefix ``__doc__ =`` should now be used.
1436
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>)
1438
* No longer require zlib headers to build extensions, and remove the need
1439
for seperate copy of zlib library on windows.
1440
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #566923)
1445
* Added ``bzrlib.tests.matchers`` as a place to put matchers, along with
1446
our first in-tree matcher. See the module docstring for details.
1449
* ``bzr selftest --parallel=subprocess`` now works correctly on win32.
1450
(Gordon Tyler, #551332)
1452
* Workaround ``Crypto.Random`` check leading to spurious test
1453
failures on Lucid, FreeBSD and gentoo.
1454
(Vincent Ladeuil, #528436)
1456
* New class ``ExecutableFeature`` for checking the availability of
1457
executables on the ``PATH``. Migrated from bash_completion plugin.
1465
This release fixes two critical networking issues with older servers and
1466
with interrupted system call errors when pushing or pulling. We recommend
1467
upgrading to anyone running a 2.1.x version of bzr.
1472
* ``bzr clean-tree`` should not delete nested bzrdirs. Required for proper
1473
support of bzr-externals and scmproj plugins.
1474
(Alexander Belchenko, bug #572098)
1476
* ``bzr switch`` does not die if a ConfigurableFileMerger is used.
1477
(Aaron Bentley, #559436)
1479
* Do not register a SIGWINCH signal handler, instead just poll for the
1480
terminal width as needed. This avoids the "Interrupted System Call"
1481
problems that occur on POSIX with all currently released versions of
1483
(Andrew Bennetts, #583941)
1485
* Fixed ``AssertionError`` when accessing smart servers running Bazaar
1486
versions before 1.6.
1487
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
1489
* Reset ``siginterrupt`` flag to False every time we handle a signal
1490
installed with ``set_signal_handler(..., restart_syscall=True)`` (from
1491
``bzrlib.osutils``. Reduces the likelihood of "Interrupted System Call"
1492
errors compared to registering ``signal.signal`` directly.
1495
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
1496
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
1498
* Support Pyrex 0.9.9, required changing how we handle exceptions in Pyrex.
1499
(John Arbash Meinel, #582656)
1501
* When passing a file to ``UTF8DirReader`` make sure to close the current
1502
directory file handle after the chdir fails. Otherwise when passing many
1503
filenames into a command line ``bzr status`` we would leak descriptors.
1504
(John Arbash Meinel, #583486)
1509
* ``_remember_remote_is_before`` no longer raises AssertionError when
1510
suboptimal network behaviour is noticed; instead it just mutters to the
1511
log file (and warns the user if they have set the ``hpss`` debug flag).
1512
This was causing unnecessary aborts for performance bugs that are minor
1514
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
1522
This is a somewhat early second beta of the 2.2 series, to fix a python2.4
1523
incompatibility in the 2.2b1 release. It also includes a swag of
1524
performance, usability and correctness improvements: test feedback on all
1525
of these would be welcome.
1531
* ``bzr diff`` now supports a --format option, which can be used to
1532
select alternative diff formats. (Jelmer Vernooij, #555994)
1537
* ``bzr dpush``, ``bzr push`` and ``bzr send`` will now issue a warning
1538
instead of failing when dirty trees are involved. The corresponding
1539
``dpush_strict``, ``push_strict`` and ``send_strict`` should be set to
1540
True explicitly to get the previous behaviour.
1541
(Vincent Ladeuil, #519319)
1543
* ``bzr export`` to tar file does not fail if any parent directory
1544
contains unicode characters. This works around upstream Python bug
1545
http://bugs.python.org/issue8396 .
1546
(Parth Malwankar, #413406)
1548
* ``bzr switch`` does not die if a ConfigurableFileMerger is used.
1549
(Aaron Bentley, #559436)
1551
* ``bzr update`` when a pending merge in the working tree has been merged
1552
into the master branch will no longer claim that old commits have become
1553
pending merges. (Robert Collins, #562079)
1555
* ``bzrlib.mutabletree.MutableTree.commit`` will now support a passed in
1556
config as in previous versions of bzrlib. (Robert Collins)
1558
* Fix glitch in the warning about unclean trees display.
1559
(Vincent Ladeuil, #562665)
1561
* Fixed Python2.4 incompatibilities in the bzr2.2b1 source tarball.
1564
* Help messages generated by ``RegistryOption.from_kwargs`` list the
1565
switches in alphabetical order, rather than in an undefined order.
1566
(Martin von Gagern, #559409)
1568
* Make sure the ``ExecutablePath`` and ``InterpreterPath`` are set in
1569
Apport crash reports, to avoid "This problem report applies to a program
1570
which is not installed any more" error.
1571
(Martin Pool, James Westby, #528114)
1573
* Reset ``siginterrupt`` flag to False every time we handle a signal
1574
installed with ``set_signal_handler(..., restart_syscall=True)`` (from
1575
``bzrlib.osutils``. Reduces the likelihood of "Interrupted System Call"
1576
errors compared to registering ``signal.signal`` directly.
1579
* When invoked with a range revision, ``bzr log`` doesn't show revisions
1580
that are not part of the Y revisions ancestry anymore when invoked with
1582
(Vincent Ladeuil, #474807)
1584
* Properly handle ``param_name`` attribute for ``ListOption``.
1585
(Martin von Gagern, #387117)
1590
* ``bzr commit`` will prompt before using a commit message that was
1591
generated by a template and not edited by the user.
1592
(Robert Collins, #530265)
1594
* ``bzr diff`` read-locks the trees and branches only once, saving about
1595
10-20ms on ``bzr diff`` in a bzr.dev tree.
1598
* ``bzr missing`` read-locks the branches only once.
1601
* ``bzr pull`` locks the branches and tree only once.
1604
* Index lookups in pack repositories search recently hit pack files first.
1605
In repositories with many pack files this can greatly reduce the
1606
number of files accessed, the number of bytes read, and the number of
1607
read calls. An incremental pull via plain HTTP takes half the time and
1608
bytes for a moderately large repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
1610
* Index lookups only re-order the indexes when the hit files aren't
1611
already first. Reduces the cost of reordering
1612
(John Arbash Meinel, #562429)
1614
* Less code is loaded at startup. (Cold-cache start time is about 10-20%
1616
(Martin Pool, #553017)
1621
* ``bzrlib.diff.get_trees_and_branches_to_diff`` is deprecated. Use
1622
``get_trees_and_branches_to_diff_locked`` instead.
1625
* ``TreeTransform.commit`` supports the full set of commit parameters, and
1626
auto-determines branch nick if not supplied. (Aaron Bentley)
1631
* ``bzrlib.commands.Command.run_direct`` is no longer needed - the pre
1632
2.1 method of calling run() to perform testing or direct use via the API
1633
is now possible again. As part of this, the _operation attribute on
1634
Command is now transient and only exists for the duration of ``run()``.
1642
This is the first beta of the 2.2 series, leading up to a 2.2.0
1643
release in July or August. Beta releases are suitable for everyday use
1644
but may cause some incompatibilities with plugins. Some plugins may need
1645
small updates to work with 2.2b1.
1647
2.2b1 includes some changes to make merge conflicts easier to understand
1648
and resolve. It also removes some old unnecessary code, and loads
1649
somewhat less code at startup. It starts adding a common infrastructure
1650
for dealing with colocated named branches, which can be implemented in
1651
various ways in either bzr native or foreign formats. On Ubuntu and
1652
other platforms with the apport bug-reporting library, there's an easier
1653
path to report problems with bzr. We plan to continue with these themes
1654
through the 2.2 series.
1656
Over thirty bugs have been fixed, including in the log command, exporting
1657
to tarballs, restarting interrupted system calls, portability of compiled
1658
extensions, making backups during upgrade, and locking on ftp.
1660
Compatibility Breaks
1661
********************
1663
* BTreeGraphIndex can now take an offset to indicate that the data starts
1664
somewhere other than then beginning of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
1666
* Deleted very old hidden commands ``versionedfile-list``,
1667
``weave-plan-merge``, ``weave-merge-text``.
1670
* ``Repository.get_inventory_sha1()`` and ``Repository.get_revision_xml()``
1671
have been removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1673
* ``Repository.get_revision_inventory()`` has been removed in favor of
1674
``Repository.get_inventory()``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1676
* All test servers have been moved out of the bzrlib.transport hierarchy to
1677
bzrlib.tests.test_server *except* for MemoryServer, ChrootServer and
1678
PathFilteringServer. ``bzrlib`` users may encounter test failures that can
1679
be fixed by updating the related imports from ``bzrlib.transport.xxx`` to
1680
``bzrlib.tests.test_server``.
1683
* ``BranchReferenceFormat.initialize()`` now takes an optional name argument
1684
as its second parameter, for consistency with the initialize() method of
1685
other formats. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1690
* Added ``bzr remove-branch`` command that can remove a local or remote
1691
branch. (Jelmer Vernooij, #276295)
1693
* ``bzr export`` now takes an optional argument ``--per-file-timestamps``
1694
to set file mtimes to the last timestamp of the last revision in which
1695
they were changed rather than the current time. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1697
* If the Apport crash-reporting tool is available, bzr crashes are now
1698
stored into the ``/var/crash`` apport spool directory, and the user is
1699
invited to report them to the developers from there, either
1700
automatically or by running ``apport-bug``. No information is sent
1701
without specific permission from the user. (Martin Pool, #515052)
1703
* Parsing of command lines, for example in ``diff --using``, no longer
1704
treats backslash as an escape character on Windows.
1705
(Gordon Tyler, #392428)
1707
* Plugins can be disabled by defining ``BZR_DISABLE_PLUGINS`` as
1708
a list of plugin names separated by ':' (';' on windows).
1709
(Vincent Ladeuil, #411413)
1711
* Plugins can be loaded from arbitrary locations by defining
1712
``BZR_PLUGINS_AT`` as a list of name@path separated by ':' (';' on
1713
windows). This takes precedence over ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` for the
1714
specified plugins. This is targeted at plugin developers for punctual
1715
needs and *not* intended to replace ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH``.
1716
(Vincent Ladeuil, #82693)
1718
* Tag names can now be determined automatically by ``automatic_tag_name``
1719
hooks on ``Branch`` if they are not specified on the command line.
1722
* Tree-shape conflicts can be resolved by providing ``--take-this`` and
1723
``--take-other`` to the ``bzr resolve`` command. Just marking the conflict
1724
as resolved is still accessible via the ``--done`` default action.
1727
* Merges can be proposed on Launchpad with the new lp-propose-merge command.
1728
(Aaron Bentley, Jonathan Lange)
1733
* Added docstring for ``Tree.iter_changes``
1734
(John Arbash Meinel, #304182)
1736
* Allow additional arguments to
1737
``RemoteRepository.add_inventory_by_delta()``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #532631)
1739
* Allow exporting a single file using ``bzr export``.
1740

* Allow syscalls to automatically restart when ``TextUIFactory``'s
1743
SIGWINCH handler is invoked, avoiding ``EINTR`` errors during blocking
1744
IO, which are often poorly handled by Python's libraries and parts of
1745
bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
1747
* Avoid infinite recursion when probing for apport.
1748
(Vincent Ladeuil, #516934)
1750
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
1751
(Martin Pool, #331095)
1753
* Avoid truncating svn URLs.
1754
(Martin Pool, Martin von Gagern, #545185)
1756
* ``bzr add`` will not add conflict related files unless explicitly required.
1757
(Vincent Ladeuil, #322767, #414589)
1759
* ``bzr dump-btree`` now works on ``*.cix`` and ``*.six`` files. Those
1760
indices do not have reference lists, so ``dump-btree`` will simply show
1761
``None`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts, #488607)
1763
* ``bzr help`` will no longer trigger the get_missing_command hook when
1764
doing a topic lookup. This avoids prompting (like 'no command plugins/loom,
1765
did you mean log?') when getting help. In future we may trigger the hook
1766
deliberately when no help topics match from any help index.
1767
(Robert Collins, #396261)
1769
* ``bzr log -n0 -r..A.B.C`` should not crash but just consider the None
1770
revspec as representing the first revision of the branch.
1771
(Vincent Ladeuil, #519862)
1773
* ``bzr remove-tree`` can now remove multiple working trees.
1774
(Jared Hance, Andrew Bennetts, #253137)
1776
* ``bzr resolve --take-this`` and ``--take-other`` now correctly renames
1777
the kept file on content conflicts where one side deleted the file.
1778
(Vincent Ladeuil, #529968)
1780
* ``bzr upgrade`` now creates the ``backup.bzr`` directory with the same
1781
permissions as ``.bzr`` directory on a POSIX OS.
1782
(Parth Malwankar, #262450)
1784
* ``bzr upgrade`` now names backup directory as ``backup.bzr.~N~`` instead
1785
of ``backup.bzr``. This directory is ignored by bzr commands such as
1787
(Parth Malwankar, #335033, #300001)
1789
* Cope with non-utf8 characters inside ``.bzrignore``.
1790
(Jason Spashett, #183504)
1792
* Correctly interpret "451 Rename/move failure: Directory not empty" from
1793
ftp servers while trying to take a lock.
1794
(Martin Pool, #528722)
1796
* DirStateRevisionTree.kind() was returning wrong result when 'kind'
1797
changes occured between the workingtree and one of its parents.
1798
(Vincent Ladeuil, #535547)
1800
* Fix ``log`` to better check ancestors even if merged revisions are involved.
1801
(Vincent Ladeuil, #476293)
1803
* Loading a plugin from a given path with ``BZR_PLUGINS_AT`` doesn't depend
1804
on os.lisdir() order and is now reliable.
1805
(Vincent Ladeuil, #552922).
1807
* Many IO operations that returned ``EINTR`` were retried even if it
1808
wasn't safe to do so via careless use of ``until_no_eintr``. Bazaar now
1809
only retries operations that are safe to retry, and in some cases has
1810
switched to operations that can be retried (e.g. ``sock.send`` rather than
1812
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #496813)
1814
* Path conflicts now support --take-this and --take-other even when a
1815
deletion is involved.
1816
(Vincent Ladeuil, #531967)
1818
* Network transfer amounts and rates are now displayed in SI units according
1819
to the Ubuntu Units Policy <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UnitsPolicy>.
1820
(Gordon Tyler, #514399)
1822
* Support kind markers for socket and fifo filesystem objects. This
1823
prevents ``bzr status --short`` from crashing when those files are
1824
present. (John Arbash Meinel, #303275)
1826
* ``bzr mkdir DIR`` will not create DIR unless DIR's parent is a versioned
1827
directory. (Parth Malwankar, #138600)
1829
* SSH child processes will now ignore SIGQUIT on nix systems so breaking into
1830
the debugger won't kill the session.
1831
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #162502)
1833
* Tolerate patches with leading noise in ``bzr-handle-patch``.
1834
(Toshio Kuratomi, Martin Pool, #502076)
1836
* ``update -r`` now supports updating to revisions that are not on
1837
mainline (i.e. it supports dotted revisions).
1838
(Parth Malwankar, #517800)
1840
* Use first apparent author not committer in GNU Changelog format.
1841
(Martin von Gagern, #513322)
1846
* ``bzrlib.merge_directive._BaseMergeDirective`` has been renamed to
1847
``bzrlib.merge_directive.BaseMergeDirective`` and is now public.
1850
* ``BranchFormat.initialize`` now takes an optional ``name`` of the colocated
1851
branch to create. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1853
* ``BzrDir.get_branch_transport`` now takes an optional ``name`` of the
1854
colocated branch to open. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1856
* Added ``bzrlib.osutils.set_signal_handler``, a convenience function that
1857
can set a signal handler and call ``signal.siginterrupt(signum,
1858
False)`` for it, if the platform and Python version supports it.
1859
(Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
1861
* New ``bzrlib.initialize`` is recommended for programs using bzrlib to
1862
run when starting up; it sets up several things that previously needed
1863
to be done separately.
1864
(Martin Pool, #507710)
1866
* Exporters now support a ``per_file_timestamps`` argument to write out the
1867
timestamp of the commit in which a file revision was introduced.
1870
* New method ``BzrDir.list_branches()`` that returns a sequence of branches
1871
present in a control directory. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1873
* New method ``Repository.get_known_graph_ancestry()``.
1874
(Jelmer Vernooij, #495502)
1876
* New transport methods ``readlink``, ``symlink`` and ``hardlink``.
1879
* Remove unused ``CommandFailed`` exception.
1885
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` now accepts a
1886
``message_callback`` in the same way that commit does. (Robert Collins)
1888
* ``bzrlib.builtins.Commit.run`` raises ``bzrlib.errors.BoundBranchOutOfDate``
1889
rather than ``bzrlib.errors.BzrCommandError`` when the bound branch is out
1890
of date. (Gary van der Merwe)
1892
* ``bzrlib.commands.run_bzr`` is more extensible: callers can supply the
1893
functions to load or disable plugins if they wish to use a different
1894
plugin mechanism; the --help, --version and no-command name code paths
1895
now use the generic pluggable command lookup infrastructure.
1898
* ``bzrlib.errors.BoundBranchOutOfDate`` has a new field ``extra_help``
1899
which can be set to add extra help to the error. (Gary van der Merwe)
1901
* New method ``Branch.automatic_tag_name`` that can be used to find the
1902
tag name for a particular revision automatically. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1904
* The methods ``BzrDir.create_branch()``, ``BzrDir.destroy_branch()`` and
1905
``BzrDir.open_branch()`` now take an optional ``name`` argument.
1911
* bzr now has a ``.testr.conf`` file in its source tree configured
1912
appropriately for running tests with Testrepository
1913
(``https://launchpad.net/testrepository``). (Robert Collins)
1915
* Documentation about testing with ``subunit`` has been tweaked.
1918
* Known failures has been added for resolve --take-other on ParentLoop
1919
conflicts. This reflects bug #537956 without fixing it.
1922
* New ``bzrlib.tests.test_import_tariff`` can make assertions about what
1923
Python modules are loaded, to guard against startup time or library
1924
dependency regressions.
1927
* PQM will now run with subunit output. To analyze a PQM error use
1928
tribunal, or cat log | subunit-filter | subunit2pyunit. (Robert Collins)
1930
* Stop sending apport crash files to ``.cache`` in the directory from
1931
which ``bzr selftest`` was run. (Martin Pool, #422350)
1933
* Tests no longer fail if "close() called during concurrent
1934
operation on the same file object" occurs when closing the log file
1935
(which can happen if a thread tries to write to the log file at the
1936
wrong moment). An warning will be written to ``stderr`` when this
1937
happens, and another warning will be written if the log file could not
1938
be closed after retrying 100 times. (Andrew Bennetts, #531746)
1945
This is a small bugfix release. Upgrading is recommended for anyone
1946
running 2.1.0 or earlier.
1951
* Allow syscalls to automatically restart when ``TextUIFactory``'s
1952
SIGWINCH handler is invoked, avoiding ``EINTR`` errors during blocking
1953
IO, which are often poorly handled by Python's libraries and parts of
1954
bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
1956
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
1957
(Martin Pool, #331095)
1959
* Fix plugin packaging on Windows. (Ian Clatworthy, #524162)
1961
* Fix stub sftp test server to call os.getcwdu().
1962
(Vincent Ladeuil, #526221, #526353)
1964
* Fixed CHM generation by moving the NEWS section template into
1965
a separate file. (Ian Clatworthy, #524184)
1967
* Merge correctly when this_tree is not a WorkingTree. (Aaron Bentley)
1969
* Register SIGWINCH handler only when creating a ``TextUIFactory``; avoids
1970
problems importing bzrlib from a non-main thread.
1971
(Elliot Murphy, #521989)
1973
* Repositories accessed via a smart server now reject being stacked on a
1974
repository in an incompatible format, as is the case when accessing them
1975
via other methods. This was causing fetches from those repositories via
1976
a smart server (e.g. using ``bzr branch``) to receive invalid data.
1977
(Andrew Bennetts, #562380)
1979
* Standardize the error handling when creating a new ``StaticTuple``
1980
(problems will raise TypeError). (Matt Nordhoff, #457979)
1982
* Warn if pyrex is too old to compile the new ``SimpleSet`` and
1983
``StaticTuple`` extensions, rather than having the build fail randomly.
1984
(John Arbash Meinel, #449776)
1989
* Added a link to the Desktop Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1991
* Added What's New in Bazaar 2.1 document. (Ian Clatworthy)
1993
* Drop Google Analytics from the core docs as they caused problems
1994
in the CHM files. (Ian Clatworthy, #502010)
1999
* Added ``bzrlib.osutils.set_signal_handler``, a convenience function that
2000
can set a signal handler and call ``signal.siginterrupt(signum,
2001
False)`` for it, if the platform and Python version supports it.
2002
(Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
2010
This fifth release in our 2.0 series addresses several user-inconvenience
2011
bugs. None are critical, but upgrading is recommended for all users on
2012
earlier 2.0 releases.
2017
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
2018
(Martin Pool, #331095)
2020
* Concurrent autopacking is more resilient to already-renamed pack files.
2021
If we find that a file we are about to obsolete is already obsoleted, we
2022
do not try to rename it, and we leave the file in ``obsolete_packs``.
2023
The code is also fault tolerant if a file goes missing, assuming that
2024
another process already removed the file.
2025
(John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507557)
2027
* Cope with the lockdir ``held/info`` file being empty, which seems to
2028
happen fairly often if the process is suddenly interrupted while taking
2030
(Martin Pool, #185103)
2032
* Give the warning about potentially slow cross-format fetches much
2033
earlier on in the fetch operation. Don't show this message during
2034
upgrades, and show the correct format indication for remote
2036
(Martin Pool, #456077, #515356, #513157)
2038
* Handle renames correctly when there are files or directories that
2039
differ only in case. (Chris Jones, Martin Pool, #368931)
2041
* If ``bzr push --create-prefix`` triggers an unexpected ``NoSuchFile``
2042
error, report that error rather than failing with an unhelpful
2043
``UnboundLocalError``.
2044
(Andrew Bennetts, #423563)
2046
* Running ``bzr`` command without any arguments now shows bzr
2047
version number along with rest of the help text.
2048
(Parth Malwankar, #369501)
2050
* Use osutils.O_NOINHERIT for some files on win32 to avoid PermissionDenied
2052
(Inada Naoki, #524560)
2057
* Added ``location-alias`` help topic.
2058
(Andrew Bennetts, #337834)
2060
* Fixed CHM generation by moving the NEWS section template into
2061
a separate file. (Ian Clatworthy, #524184)
2067
:Codename: Strasbourg
2070
This release marks our second long-term-stable series. The Bazaar team
2071
has decided that we will continue to make bugfix-only 2.0.x and 2.1.x
2072
releases, along with 2.2 development releases.
2074
This is a fairly incremental update, focusing on polish and bugfixing.
2075
There are no changes for supported disk formats. Key updates include
2076
reduced memory consumption for many operations, a new per-file merge
2077
hook, ignore patterns can now include '!' to exclude files, globbing
2078
support for all commands on Windows, and support for addressing home
2079
directories via ``bzr+ssh://host/~/`` syntax.
2081
Users are encouraged to upgrade from the 2.0 stable series.
2086
* Don't require testtools to use sftp.
2087
(Vincent Ladeuil, #516183)
2089
* Fix "AttributeError in Inter1and2Helper" during fetch.
2090
(Martin Pool, #513432)
2092
* ``bzr update`` performs the two merges in a more logical order and will stop
2093
when it encounters conflicts.
2094
(Gerard Krol, #113809)
2096
* Give a better error message when doing ``bzr bind`` in an already bound
2097
branch. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #513063)
2099
* Ignore ``KeyError`` from ``remove_index`` during ``_abort_write_group``
2100
in a pack repository, which can happen harmlessly if the abort occurs during
2101
finishing the write group. Also use ``bzrlib.cleanup`` so that any
2102
other errors that occur while aborting the individual packs won't be
2103
hidden by secondary failures when removing the corresponding indices.
2104
(Andrew Bennetts, #423015)
2106
* Set the mtime of files exported to a directory by ``bzr export`` all to
2107
the same value to avoid confusing ``make`` and other date-based build
2108
systems. (Robert Collins, #515631)
2113
* Fetching into experimental formats will now print a warning. (Jelmer
2119
* ``Repository.deserialise_inventory`` has been renamed to
2120
``Repository._deserialise_inventory`` to indicate it is private.
2123
* ``Repository.get_inventory_xml`` has been renamed to
2124
``Repository._get_inventory_xml`` to indicate it is private.
2127
* ``Repository.serialise_inventory`` has been renamed to
2128
``Repository._serialise_inventory`` to indicate it is private.
2130
* Using the ``bzrlib.chk_map`` module from within multiple threads at the
2131
same time was broken due to race conditions with a module level page
2132
cache. This shows up as a KeyError in the ``bzrlib.lru_cache`` code with
2133
``bzrlib.chk_map`` in the backtrace, and can be triggered without using
2134
the same high level objects such as ``bzrlib.repository.Repository``
2135
from different threads. chk_map now uses a thread local cache which may
2136
increase memory pressure on processes using threads.
2137
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #514090)
2139
* The new ``merge_file_content`` should now be ok with tests to avoid
2141
(Vincent Ladeuil, #515597)
2146
* Use ``bzrlib.cleanup`` rather than less robust ``try``/``finally``
2147
blocks in several places in ``bzrlib.merge``. This avoids masking prior
2148
errors when errors like ``ImmortalPendingDeletion`` occur during cleanup
2150
(Andrew Bennetts, #517275)
2155
* The ``remove_index`` method of
2156
``bzrlib.repofmt.pack_repo.AggregateIndex`` no longer takes a ``pack``
2157
argument. This argument was always ignored.
2158
(Andrew Bennetts, #423015)
2163
:Codename: after the bubbles
2164
:2.1.0rc2: 2010-01-29
2166
This is a quick-turn-around to update a small issue with our new per-file
2167
merge hook. We expect no major changes from this to the final 2.1.0.
2172
* The new ``merge_file_content`` hook point has been altered to provide a
2173
better API where state for extensions can be stored rather than the
2174
too-simple function based approach. This fixes a performance regression
2175
where branch configuration would be parsed per-file during merge. As
2176
part of this the included news_merger has been refactored into a base
2177
helper class ``bzrlib.merge.ConfigurableFileMerger``.
2178
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #513822)
2184
:Codename: the 'new' stable
2185
:2.1.0rc1: 2009-01-21
2187
This is the first stable release candidate for Bazaar's 2.1 series. From
2188
this point onwards, the 2.1 series will be considered stable (as the 2.0
2189
series) and only bugfixes are expected to be incorporated. The dozen or so
2190
bugfixes in the 2.0.4 release are also included in this release (along
2191
with more than 15 more bugfixes). Some of the interesting features are
2192
support for per-file merge hooks, ``bzr unshelve --preview``, support
2193
for using ! in ignore files to exclude files from being ignored, a small
2194
memory leak was squashed, and many ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors were fixed.
2195
This looks to be a very good start for a new stable series.
2201
* Add bug information to log output when available.
2202
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, Guillermo Gonzalez, #251729)
2204
* Added ``merge_file_content`` hook point to ``Merger``, allowing plugins
2205
to register custom merge logic, e.g. to provide smarter merging for
2208
* Bazaar now includes the ``news_merge`` plugin. It is disabled by
2209
default, to enable it add a ``news_merge_files`` option to your
2210
configuration. Consult ``bzr help news_merge`` for more information.
2213
* ``bzr branch`` now takes a ``--bind`` option. This lets you
2214
branch and bind all in one command. (Ian Clatworthy)
2216
* ``bzr switch`` now takes a ``--revision`` option, to allow switching to
2217
a specific revision of a branch. (Daniel Watkins, #183559)
2219
* ``bzr unshelve --preview`` can now be used to show how a patch on the
2220
shelf would be applied to the working tree.
2221
(Guilherme Salgado, #308122)
2223
* ``bzr update`` now takes a ``--revision`` argument. This lets you
2224
change the revision of the working tree to any revision in the
2225
ancestry of the current or master branch. (Matthieu Moy, Mark Hammond,
2226
Martin Pool, #45719)
2228
* ``-Dbytes`` can now be used to display the total number of bytes
2229
transferred for the current command. This information is always logged
2230
to ``.bzr.log`` for later inspection. (John Arbash Meinel)
2232
* New ignore patterns. Patterns prefixed with '!' are exceptions to
2233
ignore patterns and take precedence over regular ignores. Such
2234
exceptions are used to specify files that should be versioned which
2235
would otherwise be ignored. Patterns prefixed with '!!' act as regular
2236
ignore patterns, but have highest precedence, even over the '!'
2237
exception patterns. (John Whitley, #428031)
2239
* The ``supress_warnings`` configuration option has been introduced to disable
2240
various warnings (it currently only supports the ``format_deprecation``
2241
warning). The new option can be set in any of the following locations:
2242
``bazaar.conf``, ``locations.conf`` and/or ``branch.conf``.
2243
(Ted Gould, Matthew Fuller, Vincent Ladeuil)
2248
* Always show a message if an OS error occurs while trying to run a
2249
user-specified commit message editor.
2250
(Martin Pool, #504842)
2252
* ``bzr diff`` will now use the epoch when it is unable to determine
2253
the timestamp of a file, if the revision it was introduced in is a
2254
ghost. (Jelmer Vernooij, #295611)
2256
* ``bzr switch -b`` can now create branches that are located using directory
2257
services such as ``lp:``, even when the branch name doesn't contain a
2258
'/'. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #495263)
2260
* ``bzr unshelve`` has improved messages about what it is doing.
2261
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #496917)
2263
* Concurrent autopacking is more resilient to already-renamed pack files.
2264
If we find that a file we are about to obsolete is already obsoleted, we
2265
do not try to rename it, and we leave the file in ``obsolete_packs``.
2266
The code is also fault tolerant if a file goes missing, assuming that
2267
another process already removed the file.
2268
(John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507557)
2270
* Fix "Too many concurrent requests" in reconcile when network connection
2271
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #503878)
2273
* Fixed a side effect mutation of ``RemoteBzrDirFormat._network_name``
2274
that caused some tests to fail when run in a non-default order.
2275
Probably no user impact. (Martin Pool, #504102)
2277
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` error in ``bzr cat -rbranch:../foo FILE``.
2278
(Andrew Bennetts, #506274)
2280
* FTP transports support Unicode paths by encoding/decoding them as utf8.
2281
(Vincent Ladeuil, #472161)
2283
* Listen to the SIGWINCH signal to update the terminal width.
2284
(Vincent Ladeuil, #316357)
2286
* Progress bars are now hidden when ``--quiet`` is given.
2287
(Martin Pool, #320035)
2289
* ``SilentUIFactory`` now supports ``make_output_stream`` and discards
2290
whatever is written to it. This un-breaks some plugin tests that
2291
depended on this behaviour.
2292
(Martin Pool, #499757)
2294
* When operations update the working tree, all affected files should end
2295
up with the same mtime. (eg. when versioning a generated file, if you
2296
update the source and the generated file together, the generated file
2297
should appear up-to-date.)
2298
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin <gzlist>, #488724)
2303
* Added ``add_cleanup`` and ``cleanup_now`` to ``bzrlib.command.Command``.
2304
All the builtin commands now use ``add_cleanup`` rather than
2305
``try``/``finally`` blocks where applicable as it is simpler and more
2306
robust. (Andrew Bennetts)
2308
* All except a small number of storage formats are now hidden, making
2309
the help for numerous commands far more digestible. (Ian Clatworthy)
2311
* Attempts to open a shared repository as a branch (e.g. ``bzr branch
2312
path/to/repo``) will now include "location is a repository" as a hint in
2313
the error message. (Brian de Alwis, Andrew Bennetts, #440952)
2315
* Push will now inform the user when they are trying to push to a foreign
2316
VCS for which roundtripping is not supported, and will suggest them to
2317
use dpush. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2319
* The version of bzr being run is now written to the log file.
2320
(__monty__, #257170)
2322
* Transport network activity indicator is shown more of the time when
2323
Bazaar is doing network IO.
2329
* Add documentation on creating merges with more than one parent.
2330
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #481526)
2332
* Better explain the --uncommitted option of merge.
2333
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #505088)
2335
* Improve discussion of pending merges in the documentation for
2336
``revert``. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #505093)
2338
* Improved help for ``bzr send``.
2339
(Martin Pool, Bojan Nikolic)
2341
* There is a System Administrator's Guide in ``doc/en/admin-guide``,
2342
including discussions of installation, relevant plugins, security and
2343
backup. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2345
* The ``conflicts`` help topic has been renamed to ``conflict-types``.
2348
* The User Reference is now presented as a series of topics.
2349
Many of the included topics have link and format tweaks applied.
2355
* Added ``cachedproperty`` decorator to ``bzrlib.decorators``.
2358
* Many test features were renamed from ``FooFeature`` to ``foo_feature``
2359
to be consistent with instances being lower case and classes being
2360
CamelCase. For the features that were more likely to be used, we added a
2361
deprecation thunk, but not all. (John Arbash Meinel)
2363
* Merger classes (such as ``Merge3Merger``) now expect a ``this_branch``
2364
parameter in their constructors, and provide ``this_branch`` as an
2365
attribute. (Andrew Bennetts)
2367
* The Branch hooks pre_change_branch_tip no longer masks exceptions raised
2368
by plugins - the original exceptions are now preserved. (Robert Collins)
2370
* The Transport ``Server.tearDown`` method is now renamed to
2371
``stop_server`` and ``setUp`` to ``start_server`` for consistency with
2372
our normal naming pattern, and to avoid confusion with Python's
2373
``TestCase.tearDown``. (Martin Pool)
2375
* ``WorkingTree.update`` implementations must now accept a ``revision``
2381
* Added ``BzrDir.open_branchV3`` smart server request, which can receive
2382
a string of details (such as "location is a repository") as part of a
2383
``nobranch`` response. (Andrew Bennetts, #440952)
2385
* New helper osutils.UnicodeOrBytesToBytesWriter which encodes unicode
2386
objects but passes str objects straight through. This is used for
2387
selftest but may be useful for diff and other operations that generate
2388
mixed output. (Robert Collins)
2390
* New exception ``NoRoundtrippingSupport``, for use by foreign branch
2391
plugins. (Jelmer Vernooij)
2396
* ``bzrlib.tests.permute_for_extension`` is a helper that simplifies
2397
running all tests in the current module, once against a pure python
2398
implementation, and once against an extension (pyrex/C) implementation.
2399
It can be used to dramatically simplify the implementation of
2400
``load_tests``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2402
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now subclasses ``testtools.testcase.TestCase``.
2403
This permits features in testtools such as getUniqueInteger and
2404
getUniqueString to be used. Because of this, testtools version 0.9.2 or
2405
newer is now a dependency to run bzr selftest. Running with versions of
2406
testtools less than 0.9.2 will cause bzr to error while loading the test
2407
suite. (Robert Collins)
2409
* Shell-like tests now support the command "mv" for moving files. The
2410
syntax for ``mv file1 file2``, ``mv dir1 dir2`` and ``mv file dir`` is
2411
supported. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2413
* The test progress bar no longer distinguishes tests that 'errored' from
2414
tests that 'failed' - they're all just failures.
2420
:Codename: smooth sailing
2423
The fourth bugfix-only release in the 2.0 series contains more than a
2424
dozen bugfixes relative to 2.0.3. The primary focus is on handling
2425
interruptions and concurrent operations more cleanly, there is also a fair
2426
improvement to ``bzr export`` when exporting a remote branch.
2432
* ``bzr annotate`` on another branch with ``-r branch:...`` no longer
2433
fails with an ``ObjectNotLocked`` error. (Andrew Bennetts, #496590)
2435
* ``bzr export dir`` now requests all file content as a record stream,
2436
rather than requsting the file content one file-at-a-time. This can make
2437
exporting over the network significantly faster (54min => 9min in one
2438
case). (John Arbash Meinel, #343218)
2440
* ``bzr serve`` no longer slowly leaks memory. The compiled
2441
``bzrlib.bencode.Encoder()`` class was using ``__del__`` to cleanup and
2442
free resources, and it should have been using ``__dealloc__``.
2443
This will likely have an impact on any other process that is serving for
2444
an extended period of time. (John Arbash Meinel, #494406)
2446
* Check for SIGINT (Ctrl-C) and other signals immediately if ``readdir``
2447
returns ``EINTR`` by calling ``PyErr_CheckSignals``. This affected the
2448
optional ``_readdir_pyx`` extension. (Andrew Bennetts, #495023)
2450
* Concurrent autopacks will no longer lose a newly created pack file.
2451
There was a race condition, where if the reload happened at the right
2452
time, the second packer would forget the name of the newly added pack
2453
file. (John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507566)
2455
* Give a clearer message if the lockdir disappears after being apparently
2456
successfully taken. (Martin Pool, #498378)
2458
* Give a warning when fetching between repositories (local or remote) with
2459
sufficiently different formats that the content will need to be
2460
serialized (ie ``InterDifferingSerializer`` or ``inventory-deltas``), so
2461
the user has a clue that upgrading could make it faster.
2462
(Martin Pool, #456077)
2464
* If we fail to open ``~/.bzr.log`` write a clear message to stderr rather
2465
than using ``warning()``. The log file is opened before logging is set
2466
up, and it leads to very confusing: 'no handlers for "bzr"' messages for
2467
users, rather than something nicer.
2468
(John Arbash Meinel, Barry Warsaw, #503886)
2470
* Refuse to build with any Pyrex 0.9.4 release, as they have known bugs.
2471
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel, #449372)
2473
* ``setup.py bdist_rpm`` now properly finds extra files needed for the
2474
build. (there is still the distutils bug
2475
http://bugs.python.org/issue644744) (Joe Julian, #175839)
2477
* The 2a format wasn't properly restarting autopacks when something
2478
changed underneath it (like another autopack). Now concurrent
2479
autopackers will properly succeed. (John Arbash Meinel, #495000)
2481
* ``TreeTransform`` can now handle when a delta says that the file id for
2482
the tree root changes. Rather than trying to rename your working
2483
directory, or failing early saying that you can't have multiple
2484
tree roots. This also fixes revert, update, and pull when the root id
2485
changes. (John Arbash Meinel, #494269, #504390)
2487
* ``_update_current_block`` no longer suppresses exceptions, so ^C at just
2488
the right time will get propagated, rather than silently failing to move
2489
the block pointer. (John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #495023)
2494
* We have a new ``test_source`` that ensures all pyrex ``cdef`` functions
2495
handle exceptions somehow. (Possibly by setting ``# cannot_raise``
2496
rather than an ``except ?:`` clause.) This should help prevent bugs like
2497
bug #495023. (John Arbash Meinel)

:2.1.0b4: 2009-12-14
2506
The fourth beta release in the 2.1 series brings with it a significant
2507
number of bugfixes (~20). The test suite is once again (finally) "green"
2508
on Windows, and should remain that way for future releases. There are a
2509
few performance related updates (faster upgrade and log), and several UI
2510
tweaks. There has also been a significant number of tweaks to the runtime
2511
documentation. 2.1.0b4 include everything from the 2.0.3 release.
2514
Compatibility Breaks
2515
********************
2517
* The BZR_SSH environmental variable may now be set to the path of a secure
2518
shell client. If currently set to the value ``ssh`` it will now guess the
2519
vendor of the program with that name, to restore the old behaviour that
2520
indicated the SSH Corporation client use ``sshcorp`` instead as the magic
2521
string. (Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #176292)
2526
* ``bzr commit`` now has a ``--commit-time`` option.
2527
(Alexander Sack, #459276)
2529
* ``-Dhpss`` now increases logging done when run on the bzr server,
2530
similarly to how it works on the client. (John Arbash Meinel)
2532
* New option ``bzr unshelve --keep`` applies the changes and leaves them
2533
on the shelf. (Martin Pool, Oscar Fuentes, #492091)
2535
* The ``BZR_COLUMNS`` envrionment variable can be set to force bzr to
2536
respect a given terminal width. This can be useful when output is
2537
redirected or in obscure cases where the default value is not
2538
appropriate. Pagers can use it to get a better control of the line
2542
* The new command ``bzr lp-mirror`` will request that Launchpad update its
2543
mirror of a local branch. This command will only function if launchpadlib
2551
* After renaming a file, the dirstate could accidentally reference
2552
``source\\path`` rather than ``source/path`` on Windows. This might be a
2553
source of some dirstate-related failures. (John Arbash Meinel)
2555
* ``bzr commit`` now detects commit messages that looks like file names
2556
and issues a warning.
2557
(Gioele Barabucci, #73073)
2559
* ``bzr ignore /`` no longer causes an IndexError. (Gorden Tyler, #456036)
2561
* ``bzr log -n0 -rN`` should not return revisions beyond its merged revisions.
2562
(#325618, #484109, Marius Kruger)
2564
* ``bzr merge --weave`` and ``--lca`` will now create ``.BASE`` files for
2565
files with conflicts (similar to ``--merge3``). The contents of the file
2566
is a synthesis of all bases used for the merge.
2567
(John Arbash Meinel, #40412)
2569
* ``bzr mv --quiet`` really is quiet now. (Gordon Tyler, #271790)
2571
* ``bzr serve`` is more clear about the risk of supplying --allow-writes.
2572
(Robert Collins, #84659)
2574
* ``bzr serve --quiet`` really is quiet now. (Gordon Tyler, #252834)
2576
* Fix bug with redirected URLs over authenticated HTTP.
2577
(Glen Mailer, Neil Martinsen-Burrell, Vincent Ladeuil, #395714)
2579
* Interactive merge doesn't leave branch locks behind. (Aaron Bentley)
2581
* Lots of bugfixes for the test suite on Windows. We should once again
2582
have a test suite with no failures on Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2584
* ``osutils.terminal_width()`` obeys the BZR_COLUMNS environment
2585
variable but returns None if the terminal is not a tty (when output is
2586
redirected for example). Also fixes its usage under OSes that doesn't
2587
provide termios.TIOCGWINSZ. Make sure the corresponding tests runs on
2589
(Joke de Buhr, Vincent Ladeuil, #353370, #62539)
2590
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #492561)
2592
* Terminate ssh subprocesses when no references to them remain, fixing
2593
subprocess and file descriptor leaks. (Andrew Bennetts, #426662)
2595
* The ``--hardlink`` option of ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr checkout`` now
2596
works for 2a format trees. Only files unaffected by content filters
2597
will be hardlinked. (Andrew Bennetts, #408193)
2599
* The new glob expansion on Windows would replace all ``\`` characters
2600
with ``/`` even if it there wasn't a glob to expand, the arg was quoted,
2601
etc. Now only change slashes if there is something being glob expanded.
2602
(John Arbash Meinel, #485771)
2604
* Use our faster ``KnownGraph.heads()`` functionality when computing the
2605
new rich-root heads. This can cut a conversion time in half (mysql from
2606
13.5h => 6.2h) (John Arbash Meinel, #487632)
2608
* When launching a external diff tool via bzr diff --using, temporary files
2609
are no longer created, rather, the path to the file in the working tree is
2610
passed to the external diff tool. This allows the file to be edited if the
2611
diff tool provides for this. (Gary van der Merwe, #490738)
2613
* The launchpad-open command can now be used from a subdirectory of a
2614
branch, not just from the root of the branch.
2615
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #489102)
2621
* ``bzr log`` is now faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
2623
* ``bzr update`` provides feedback on which branch it is up to date with.
2624
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
2626
* ``bzr upgrade`` from pre-2a to 2a can be significantly faster (4x).
2627
For details see the xml8 patch and heads() improvements.
2628
(John Arbash Meinel)
2630
* ``bzrlib.urlutils.local_path_from_url`` now accepts
2631
'file://localhost/' as well as 'file:///' URLs on POSIX. (Michael
2634
* The progress bar now shows only a spinner and per-operation counts,
2635
not an overall progress bar. The previous bar was often not correlated
2636
with real overall operation progress, either because the operations take
2637
nonlinear time, or because at the start of the operation Bazaar couldn't
2638
estimate how much work there was to do. (Martin Pool)
2643
* Lots of documentation tweaks for inline help topics and command help
2649
* ``bzrlib.textui`` (vestigial module) removed. (Martin Pool)
2651
* The Launchpad plugin now has a function ``login`` which will log in to
2652
Launchpad with launchpadlib, and ``load_branch`` which will return the
2653
Launchpad Branch object corresponding to a given Bazaar Branch object.
2659
* New test Feature: ``ModuleAvailableFeature``. It is designed to make it
2660
easier to handle what tests you want to run based on what modules can be
2661
imported. (Rather than lots of custom-implemented features that were
2662
basically copy-and-pasted.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2664
* ``osutils.timer_func()`` can be used to get either ``time.time()`` or
2665
``time.clock()`` when you want to do performance timing.
2666
``time.time()`` is limited to 15ms resolution on Windows, but
2667
``time.clock()`` gives CPU and not wall-clock time on other platforms.
2668
(John Arbash Meinel)
2670
* Several code paths that were calling ``Transport.get().read()`` have
2671
been changed to the equalivent ``Transport.get_bytes()``. The main
2672
difference is that the latter will explicitly call ``file.close()``,
2673
rather than expecting the garbage collector to handle it. This helps
2674
with some race conditions on Windows during the test suite and sftp
2675
tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
2680
* TestCaseWithMemoryTransport no longer sets $HOME and $BZR_HOME to
2681
unicode strings. (Michael Hudson, #464174)
2687
:Codename: little italy
2691
The third stable release of Bazaar has a small handful of bugfixes. As
2692
expected, this has no internal or external compatibility changes versus
2698
* ``bzr push --use-existing-dir`` no longer crashes if the directory
2699
exists but contains an invalid ``.bzr`` directory.
2700
(Andrew Bennetts, #423563)
2702
* Content filters are now applied correctly after pull, merge and switch.
2703
(Ian Clatworthy, #385879)
2705
* Fix a potential segfault in the groupcompress hash map handling code.
2706
When inserting new entries, if the final hash bucket was empty, we could
2707
end up trying to access if ``(last_entry+1)->ptr == NULL``.
2708
(John Arbash Meinel, #490228)
2710
* Improve "Binary files differ" hunk handling. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)
2716
:Codename: after sprint recovery
2717
:2.1.0b3: 2009-11-16
2719
This release was pushed up from its normal release cycle due to a
2720
regression in python 2.4 compatibility in 2.1.0b2. Since this regression
2721
was caught before 2.1.0b2 was officially announced, the full changelog
2722
includes both 2.1.0b3 and 2.1.0b2 changes.
2724
Highlights of 2.1.0b3 are: new globbing code for all commands on Windows,
2725
the test suite now conforms to python's trunk enhanced semantics (skip,
2726
etc.), and ``bzr info -v`` will now report the correct branch and repo
2727
formats for Remote objects.
2733
* Users can define a shelve editor to provide shelf functionality at a
2734
granularity finer than per-patch-hunk. (Aaron Bentley)
2739
* Fix for shell completion and short options. (Benoît PIERRE)
2741
* Fix ``bzr --profile-imports`` with Python 2.6. (Martin Pool)
2743
* Hooks daughter classes should always call the base constructor.
2744
(Alexander Belchenko, Vincent Ladeuil, #389648)
2746
* Improve "Binary files differ" hunk handling. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)
2748
* On Windows, do glob expansion at the command-line level (as is usually
2749
done in bash, etc.) This means that *all* commands get glob expansion
2750
(bzr status, bzr add, bzr mv, etc). It uses a custom command line
2751
parser, which allows us to know if a given section was quoted. It means
2752
you can now do ``bzr ignore "*.py"``.
2753
(John Arbash Meinel, #425510, #426410, #194450)
2755
* Sanitize commit messages that come in from the '-m' flag. We translate
2756
'\r\n' => '\n' and a plain '\r' => '\n'. The storage layer doesn't
2757
allow those because XML store silently translate it anyway. (The parser
2758
auto-translates \r\n => \n in ways that are hard for us to catch.)
2760
* Show correct branch and repository format descriptions in
2761
``bzr info -v`` on a smart server location. (Andrew Bennetts, #196080)
2763
* The fix for bug #186920 accidentally broke compatibility with python
2764
2.4. (Vincent Ladeuil, #475585)
2766
* Using ``Repository.get_commit_builder().record_iter_changes()`` now
2767
correctly sets ``self.inv_sha1`` to a sha1 string and
2768
``self.new_inventory`` to an Inventory instance after calling
2769
``self.finish_inventory()``. (Previously it accidently set both values
2770
as a tuple on ``self.inv_sha1``. This was missed because
2771
``repo.add_revision`` ignores the supplied inventory sha1 and recomputes
2772
the sha1 from the repo directly. (John Arbash Meinel)
2774
* Shelve command refuse to run if there is no real terminal.
2775
(Alexander Belchenko)
2777
* Avoid unnecessarily flushing of trace file; it's now unbuffered at the
2778
Python level. (Martin Pool)
2783
* Include Japanese translations for documentation (Inada Naoki)
2785
* New API ``ui_factory.make_output_stream`` to be used for sending bulk
2786
(rather than user-interaction) data to stdout. This automatically
2787
coordinates with progress bars or other terminal activity, and can be
2789
(Martin Pool, 493944)
2794
* Some of the core groupcompress functionality now releases the GIL before
2795
operation. Similar to how zlib and bz2 operate without the GIL in the
2796
core compression and decompression routines. (John Arbash Meinel)
2801
* -Dhpssvfs will now trigger on ``RemoteBzrDir._ensure_real``, providing
2802
more debugging of VFS access triggers. (Robert Collins)
2804
* KnownFailure is now signalled to ``ExtendedTestResult`` using the same
2805
method that Python 2.7 uses - ``addExpectedFailure``. (Robert Collins)
2807
* ``--parallel=fork`` is now compatible with --subunit.
2808
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #419776)
2810
* Reporting of failures shows test ids not descriptions and thus shows
2811
parameterised tests correctly. (Robert Collins)
2813
* TestNotApplicable is now handled within the TestCase.run method rather
2814
than being looked for within ``ExtendedTestResult.addError``. This
2815
provides better handling with other ``TestResult`` objects, degrading to
2816
sucess rather than error. (Robert Collins)
2818
* The private method ``_testConcluded`` on ``ExtendedTestResult`` has been
2819
removed - it was empty and unused. (Robert Collins)
2821
* UnavailableFeature is now handled within the TestCase.run method rather
2822
than being looked for within addError. If the Result object does not
2823
have an addNotSupported method, addSkip is attempted instead, and
2824
failing that addSuccess. (Robert Collins)
2826
* When a TestResult does not have an addSkip method, skipped tests are now
2827
reported as successful tests, rather than as errors. This change is
2828
to make it possible to get a clean test run with a less capable
2829
TestResult. (Robert Collins)
2836
:Codename: a load off my mind
2837
:2.1.0b2: 2009-11-02
2839
This is our second feature-filled release since 2.0, pushing us down the
2840
path to a 2.1.0. Once again, all bugfixes in 2.0.2 are present in 2.1.0b2.
2842
Key highlights in this release are: improved handling of
2843
failures-during-cleanup for commit, fixing a long-standing bug with
2844
``bzr+http`` and shared repositories, all ``lp:`` urls to be resolved
2845
behind proxies, and a new StaticTuple datatype, allowing us to reduce
2846
memory consumption (50%) and garbage collector overhead (40% faster) for
2849
* A new ``--concurrency`` option has been added as well as an associated
2850
BZR_CONCURRENCY environment variable to specify the number of
2851
processes that can be run concurrently when running ``bzr selftest``. The
2852
command-line option overrides the environment variable if both are
2853
specified. If none is specified. the number of processes is obtained
2854
from the OS as before. (Matt Nordhoff, Vincent Ladeuil)
2859
* ``bzr+http`` servers no longer give spurious jail break errors when
2860
serving branches inside a shared repository. (Andrew Bennetts, #348308)
2862
* Errors during commit are handled more robustly so that knock-on errors
2863
are less likely to occur, and will not obscure the original error if
2864
they do occur. This fixes some causes of ``TooManyConcurrentRequests``
2865
and similar errors. (Andrew Bennetts, #429747, #243391)
2867
* Launchpad urls can now be resolved from behind proxies.
2868
(Gordon Tyler, Vincent Ladeuil, #186920)
2870
* Reduce the strictness for StaticTuple, instead add a debug flag
2871
``-Dstatic_tuple`` which will change apis to be strict and raise errors.
2872
This way, most users won't see failures, but developers can improve
2873
internals. (John Arbash Meinel, #471193)
2875
* TreeTransform.adjust_path updates the limbo paths of descendants of adjusted
2876
files. (Aaron Bentley)
2878
* Unicode paths are now handled correctly and consistently by the smart
2879
server. (Andrew Bennetts, Michael Hudson, #458762)
2884
* When reading index files, we now use a ``StaticTuple`` rather than a
2885
plain ``tuple`` object. This generally gives a 20% decrease in peak
2886
memory, and can give a performance boost up to 40% on large projects.
2887
(John Arbash Meinel)
2889
* Peak memory under certain operations has been reduced significantly.
2890
(eg, 'bzr branch launchpad standalone' is cut in half)
2891
(John Arbash Meinel)
2896
* Filtered views user documentation upgraded to refer to format 2a
2897
instead of pre-2.0 formats. (Ian Clatworthy)
2902
* Remove deprecated ``CLIUIFactory``. (Martin Pool)
2904
* ``UIFactory`` now has new ``show_error``, ``show_message`` and
2905
``show_warning`` methods, which can be hooked by non-text UIs.
2911
* Added ``bzrlib._simple_set_pyx``. This is a hybrid between a Set and a
2912
Dict (it only holds keys, but you can lookup the object located at a
2913
given key). It has significantly reduced memory consumption versus the
2914
builtin objects (1/2 the size of Set, 1/3rd the size of Dict). This is
2915
used as the interning structure for StaticTuple objects.
2916
(John Arbash Meinel)
2918
* ``bzrlib._static_tuple_c.StaticTuple`` is now available and used by
2919
the btree index parser and the chk map parser. This class functions
2920
similarly to ``tuple`` objects. However, it can only point to a limited
2921
collection of types. (Currently StaticTuple, str, unicode, None, bool,
2922
int, long, float, but not subclasses). This allows us to remove it from
2923
the garbage collector (it cannot be in a cycle), it also allows us to
2924
intern the objects. In testing, this can reduce peak memory by 20-40%,
2925
and significantly improve performance by removing objects from being
2926
inspected by the garbage collector. (John Arbash Meinel)
2928
* ``GroupCompressBlock._ensure_content()`` will now release the
2929
``zlib.decompressobj()`` when the first request is for all of the
2930
content. (Previously it would only be released if you made a request for
2931
part of the content, and then all of it later.) This turns out to be a
2932
significant memory savings, as a ``zstream`` carries around approx 260kB
2933
of internal state and buffers. (For branching bzr.dev this drops peak
2934
memory from 382MB => 345MB.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2936
* When streaming content between ``2a`` format repositories, we now clear
2937
caches from earlier versioned files. (So 'revisions' is cleared when we
2938
start reading 'inventories', etc.) This can have a significant impact on
2939
peak memory for initial copies (~200MB). (John Arbash Meinel)
2945
:Codename: after the scare
2948
The second in our "let's keep the stable bugfixes flowing" series. As
2949
expected this has a few (~9) bugfixes relative to 2.0.1, and no major api
2950
changes or features.
2955
* Avoid "NoneType has no attribute st_mode" error when files disappear
2956
from a directory while it's being read. (Martin Pool, #446033)
2958
* Content filters are now applied correctly after revert.
2961
* Diff parsing handles "Binary files differ" hunks. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)
2963
* Fetching from stacked pre-2a repository via a smart server no longer
2964
fails intermittently with "second push failed to complete".
2965
(Andrew Bennetts, #437626)
2967
* Fix typos left after test_selftest refactoring.
2968
(Vincent Ladeuil, Matt Nordhoff, #461149)
2970
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors during ``bzr log -r NNN somefile``.
2971
(Andrew Bennetts, #445171)
2973
* PreviewTree file names are not limited by the encoding of the temp
2974
directory's filesystem. (Aaron Bentley, #436794)
2979
* ``bzr log`` now read-locks branches exactly once, so makes better use of
2980
data caches. (Andrew Bennetts)
2985
* Filtered views user documentation upgraded to refer to format 2a
2986
instead of pre-2.0 formats. (Ian Clatworthy)
2992
:Codename: While the cat is away
2993
:2.1.0b1: 2009-10-14
2995
This is the first development release in the new split "stable" and
2996
"development" series. As such, the release is a snapshot of bzr.dev
2997
without creating a release candidate first. This release includes a
2998
fair amount of internal changes, with deprecated code being removed,
2999
and several new feature developments. People looking for a stable code
3000
base with only bugfixes should focus on the 2.0.1 release. All bugfixes
3001
present in 2.0.1 are present in 2.1.0b1.
3003
Highlights include support for ``bzr+ssh://host/~/homedir`` style urls,
3004
finer control over the plugin search path via extended BZR_PLUGIN_PATH
3005
syntax, visible warnings when extension modules fail to load, and improved
3006
error handling during unlocking.
3012
* Bazaar can now send mail through Apple OS X Mail.app.
3015
* ``bzr+ssh`` and ``bzr`` paths can now be relative to home directories
3016
specified in the URL. Paths starting with a path segment of ``~`` are
3017
relative to the home directory of the user running the server, and paths
3018
starting with ``~user`` are relative to the home directory of the named
3019
user. For example, for a user "bob" with a home directory of
3020
``/home/bob``, these URLs are all equivalent:
3022
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/~/repo``
3023
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/~bob/repo``
3024
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/home/bob/repo``
3026
If ``bzr serve`` was invoked with a ``--directory`` argument, then no
3027
home directories outside that directory will be accessible via this
3030
This is a feature of ``bzr serve``, so pre-2.1 clients will
3031
automatically benefit from this feature when ``bzr`` on the server is
3032
upgraded. (Andrew Bennetts, #109143)
3034
* Extensions can now be compiled if either Cython or Pyrex is available.
3035
Currently Pyrex is preferred, but that may change in the future.
3038
* Give more control on BZR_PLUGIN_PATH by providing a way to refer to or
3039
disable the user, site and core plugin directories.
3040
(Vincent Ladeuil, #412930, #316192, #145612)
3045
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
3046
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
3047
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
3048
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
3049
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
3050
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
3051
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
3053
* ``bzr add`` in a tree that has files with ``\r`` or ``\n`` in the
3054
filename will issue a warning and skip over those files.
3055
(Robert Collins, #3918)
3057
* ``bzr dpush`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
3058
are present in the working tree. The configuration option ``dpush_strict``
3059
can be used to set the default for this behavior.
3060
(Vincent Ladeuil, #438158)
3062
* ``bzr merge`` and ``bzr remove-tree`` now requires --force if pending
3063
merges are present in the working tree.
3064
(Vincent Ladeuil, #426344)
3066
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
3067
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
3069
* Don't give a warning on Windows when failing to import ``_readdir_pyx``
3070
as it is never built. (John Arbash Meinel, #430645)
3072
* Don't restrict the command name used to run the test suite.
3073
(Vincent Ladeuil, #419950)
3075
* ftp transports were built differently when the kerberos python module was
3076
present leading to obscure failures related to ASCII/BINARY modes.
3077
(Vincent Ladeuil, #443041)
3079
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
3080
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
3082
* PreviewTree behaves correctly when get_file_mtime is invoked on an unmodified
3083
file. (Aaron Bentley, #251532)
3085
* Registry objects should not use iteritems() when asked to use items().
3086
(Vincent Ladeuil, #430510)
3088
* Weave based repositories couldn't be cloned when committers were using
3089
domains or user ids embedding '.sig'. Now they can.
3090
(Matthew Fuller, Vincent Ladeuil, #430868)
3095
* Revision specifiers can now be given in a more DWIM form, without
3096
needing explicit prefixes for specifiers like tags or revision id's.
3097
See ``bzr help revisionspec`` for full details. (Matthew Fuller)
3099
* Bazaar gives a warning before exiting, and writes into ``.bzr.log``, if
3100
compiled extensions can't be loaded. This typically indicates a
3101
packaging or installation problem. In this case Bazaar will keep
3102
running using pure-Python versions, but this may be substantially
3103
slower. The warning can be disabled by setting
3104
``ignore_missing_extensions = True`` in ``bazaar.conf``.
3105
See also <https://answers.launchpad.net/bzr/+faq/703>.
3106
(Martin Pool, #406113, #430529)
3108
* Secondary errors that occur during Branch.unlock and Repository.unlock
3109
no longer obscure the original error. These methods now use a new
3110
decorator, ``only_raises``. This fixes many causes of
3111
``TooManyConcurrentRequests`` and similar errors.
3112
(Andrew Bennetts, #429747)
3117
* Describe the new shell-like test feature. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3119
* Help on hooks no longer says 'Not deprecated' for hooks that are
3120
currently supported. (Ian Clatworthy, #422415)
3125
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` has been removed; use
3126
``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding`` instead. (Martin Pool)
3128
* ``bzrlib.tests`` now uses ``stopTestRun`` for its ``TestResult``
3129
subclasses - the same as python's unittest module. (Robert Collins)
3131
* ``diff._get_trees_to_diff`` has been renamed to
3132
``diff.get_trees_and_branches_to_diff``. It is now a public API, and it
3133
returns the old and new branches. (Gary van der Merwe)
3135
* ``bzrlib.trace.log_error``, ``error`` and ``info`` have been deprecated.
3138
* ``MutableTree.has_changes()`` does not require a tree parameter anymore. It
3139
now defaults to comparing to the basis tree. It now checks for pending
3140
merges too. ``Merger.check_basis`` has been deprecated and replaced by the
3141
corresponding has_changes() calls. ``Merge.compare_basis``,
3142
``Merger.file_revisions`` and ``Merger.ensure_revision_trees`` have also
3144
(Vincent Ladeuil, #440631)
3146
* ``ProgressTask.note`` is deprecated.
3152
* Added ``-Drelock`` debug flag. It will ``note`` a message every time a
3153
repository or branch object is unlocked then relocked the same way.
3156
* ``BTreeLeafParser.extract_key`` has been tweaked slightly to reduce
3157
mallocs while parsing the index (approx 3=>1 mallocs per key read).
3158
This results in a 10% speedup while reading an index.
3159
(John Arbash Meinel)
3161
* The ``bzrlib.lsprof`` module has a new class ``BzrProfiler`` which makes
3162
profiling in some situations like callbacks and generators easier.
3168
* Passing ``--lsprof-tests -v`` to bzr selftest will cause lsprof output to
3169
be output for every test. Note that this is very verbose! (Robert Collins)
3171
* Setting ``BZR_TEST_PDB=1`` when running selftest will cause a pdb
3172
post_mortem to be triggered when a test failure occurs. (Robert Collins)
3174
* Shell-like tests can now be written. Code in ``bzrlib/tests/script.py`` ,
3175
documentation in ``developers/testing.txt`` for details.
3178
* Some tests could end up with the same id, that was dormant for
3180
(Vincent Ladeuil, #442980)
3182
* Stop showing the number of tests due to missing features in the test
3183
progress bar. (Martin Pool)
3185
* Test parameterisation now does a shallow copy, not a deep copy of the test
3186
to be parameterised. This is not expected to break external use of test
3187
parameterisation, and is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
3189
* Tests that try to open a bzr dir on an arbitrary transport will now
3190
fail unless they have explicitly permitted the transport via
3191
``self.permit_url``. The standard test factories such as ``self.get_url``
3192
will permit the urls they provide automatically, so only exceptional
3193
tests should need to do this. (Robert Collins)
3195
* The break-in test no longer cares about clean shutdown of the child,
3196
instead it is happy if the debugger starts up. (Robert Collins)
3198
* The full test suite is expected to pass when the C extensions are not
3199
present. (Vincent Ladeuil, #430749)
3205
:Codename: Stability First
3208
The first of our new ongoing bugfix-only stable releases has arrived. It
3209
includes a collection of 12 bugfixes applied to bzr 2.0.0, but does not
3210
include any of the feature development in the 2.1.0 series.
3216
* ``bzr add`` in a tree that has files with ``\r`` or ``\n`` in the
3217
filename will issue a warning and skip over those files.
3218
(Robert Collins, #3918)
3220
* bzr will attempt to authenticate with SSH servers that support
3221
``keyboard-interactive`` auth but not ``password`` auth when using
3222
Paramiko. (Andrew Bennetts, #433846)
3224
* Fixed fetches from a stacked branch on a smart server that were failing
3225
with some combinations of remote and local formats. This was causing
3226
"unknown object type identifier 60" errors. (Andrew Bennetts, #427736)
3228
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when doing some log and diff operations
3229
on branches via a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #389413)
3231
* Handle things like ``bzr add foo`` and ``bzr rm foo`` when the tree is
3232
at the root of a drive. ``osutils._cicp_canonical_relpath`` always
3233
assumed that ``abspath()`` returned a path that did not have a trailing
3234
``/``, but that is not true when working at the root of the filesystem.
3235
(John Arbash Meinel, Jason Spashett, #322807)
3237
* Hide deprecation warnings for 'final' releases for python2.6.
3238
(John Arbash Meinel, #440062)
3240
* Improve the time for ``bzr log DIR`` for 2a format repositories.
3241
We had been using the same code path as for <2a formats, which required
3242
iterating over all objects in all revisions.
3243
(John Arbash Meinel, #374730)
3245
* Make sure that we unlock the tree if we fail to create a TreeTransform
3246
object when doing a merge, and there is limbo, or pending-deletions
3247
directory. (Gary van der Merwe, #427773)
3249
* Occasional IndexError on renamed files have been fixed. Operations that
3250
set a full inventory in the working tree will now go via the
3251
apply_inventory_delta code path which is simpler and easier to
3252
understand than dirstates set_state_from_inventory method. This may
3253
have a small performance impact on operations built on _write_inventory,
3254
but such operations are already doing full tree scans, so no radical
3255
performance change should be observed. (Robert Collins, #403322)
3257
* Retrieving file text or mtime from a _PreviewTree has good performance when
3258
there are many changes. (Aaron Bentley)
3260
* The CHK index pages now use an unlimited cache size. With a limited
3261
cache and a large project, the random access of chk pages could cause us
3262
to download the entire cix file many times.
3263
(John Arbash Meinel, #402623)
3265
* When a file kind becomes unversionable after being added, a sensible
3266
error will be shown instead of a traceback. (Robert Collins, #438569)
3271
* Improved README. (Ian Clatworthy)
3273
* Improved upgrade documentation for Launchpad branches.
3281
:Codename: Instant Karma
3283
This release of Bazaar makes the 2a (previously 'brisbane-core') format
3284
the default when new branches or repositories are created. This format is
3285
substantially smaller and faster for many operations. Most of the work in
3286
this release focuses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a and
3287
previous formats. (See the Upgrade Guide for information on migrating
3290
This release also improves the documentation content and presentation,
3291
including adding Windows HtmlHelp manuals.
3293
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
3294
with bugfix-only 2.0.x releases based on it, continuing for at least six
3295
months or until the following stable release.
3297
Changes from 2.0.0rc2 to final
3298
******************************
3300
* Officially branded as 2.0.0 rather than 2.0 to clarify between things
3301
that "want to happen on the 2.0.x stable series" versus things that want
3302
to "land in 2.0.0". (Changes how bzrlib._format_version_tuple() handles
3303
micro = 0.) (John Arbash Meinel)
3309
:2.0.0rc2: 2009-09-10
3314
* Added post_commit hook for mutable trees. This allows the keywords
3315
plugin to expand keywords on files changed by the commit.
3316
(Ian Clatworthy, #408841)
3321
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
3322
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
3323
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
3324
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
3325
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
3326
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
3327
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
3329
* ``bzr check`` in pack-0.92, 1.6 and 1.9 format repositories will no
3330
longer report incorrect errors about ``Missing inventory ('TREE_ROOT', ...)``
3331
(Robert Collins, #416732)
3333
* ``bzr info -v`` on a 2a format still claimed that it was a "Development
3334
format" (John Arbash Meinel, #424392)
3336
* ``bzr log stacked-branch`` shows the full log including
3337
revisions that are in the fallback repository. (Regressed in 2.0rc1).
3338
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
3340
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
3341
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
3343
* Conversion to 2a will create a single pack for all the new revisions (as
3344
long as it ran without interruption). This improves both ``bzr upgrade``
3345
and ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from local branches in older formats.
3346
The autopack logic that occurs every 100 revisions during local
3347
conversions was not returning that pack's identifier, which resulted in
3348
the partial packs created during the conversion not being consolidated
3349
at the end of the conversion process. (Robert Collins, #423818)
3351
* Fetches from 2a to 2a are now again requested in 'groupcompress' order.
3352
Groups that are seen as 'underutilized' will be repacked on-the-fly.
3353
This means that when the source is fully packed, there is minimal
3354
overhead during the fetch, but if the source is poorly packed the result
3355
is a fairly well packed repository (not as good as 'bzr pack' but
3356
good-enough.) (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #402652)
3358
* Fix a potential segmentation fault when doing 'log' of a branch that had
3359
ghosts in its mainline. (Evaluating None as a tuple is bad.)
3360
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
3362
* ``groupcompress`` sort order is now more stable, rather than relying on
3363
``topo_sort`` ordering. The implementation is now
3364
``KnownGraph.gc_sort``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3366
* Local data conversion will generate correct deltas. This is a critical
3367
bugfix vs 2.0rc1, and all 2.0rc1 users should upgrade to 2.0rc2 before
3368
converting repositories. (Robert Collins, #422849)
3370
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
3371
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
3373
* Prevent some kinds of incomplete data from being committed to a 2a
3374
repository, such as revisions without inventories, a missing chk_bytes
3375
record for an inventory, or a missing text referenced by an inventory.
3376
(Andrew Bennetts, #423506, #406687)
3381
* Fix assertion error about "_remember_remote_is_before" when pushing to
3382
older smart servers.
3383
(Andrew Bennetts, #418931)
3385
* Help on hooks no longer says 'Not deprecated' for hooks that are
3386
currently supported. (Ian Clatworthy, #422415)
3388
* PDF and CHM (Windows HtmlHelp) formats are now supported for the
3389
user documentation. The HTML documentation is better broken up into
3390
topics. (Ian Clatworthy)
3392
* The developer and foreign language documents are now separated
3393
out so that searching in the HTML and CHM files produces more

Compatibility Breaks
3407
********************
3409
* The default format for bzr is now ``2a``. This format brings many
3410
significant performance and size improvements. bzr can pull from
3411
any existing repository into a ``2a`` one, but can only transfer
3412
from ``2a`` into ``rich-root`` repositories. The Upgrade guide
3413
has more information about this change. (Robert Collins)
3415
* On Windows auto-detection of Putty's plink.exe is disabled.
3416
Default SSH client for Windows is paramiko. User still can force
3417
usage of plink if explicitly set environment variable BZR_SSH=plink.
3418
(#414743, Alexander Belchenko)
3423
* ``bzr branch --switch`` can now switch the checkout in the current directory
3424
to the newly created branch. (Lukáš Lalinský)
3429
* Further tweaks to handling of ``bzr add`` messages about ignored files.
3430
(Jason Spashett, #76616)
3432
* Fetches were being requested in 'groupcompress' order, but weren't
3433
recombining the groups. Thus they would 'fragment' to get the correct
3434
order, but not 'recombine' to actually benefit from it. Until we get
3435
recombining to work, switching to 'unordered' fetches avoids the
3436
fragmentation. (John Arbash Meinel, #402645)
3438
* Fix a pycurl related test failure on karmic by recognizing an error
3439
raised by newer versions of pycurl.
3440
(Vincent Ladeuil, #306264)
3442
* Fix a test failure on karmic by making a locale test more robust.
3443
(Vincent Ladeuil, #413514)
3445
* Fix IndexError printing CannotBindAddress errors.
3446
(Martin Pool, #286871)
3448
* Fix "Revision ... not present" errors when upgrading stacked branches,
3449
or when doing fetches from a stacked source to a stacked target.
3450
(Andrew Bennetts, #399140)
3452
* ``bzr branch`` of 2a repositories over HTTP is much faster. bzr now
3453
batches together small fetches from 2a repositories, rather than
3454
fetching only a few hundred bytes at a time.
3455
(Andrew Bennetts, #402657)
3460
* A better description of the platform is shown in crash tracebacks, ``bzr
3461
--version`` and ``bzr selftest``.
3462
(Martin Pool, #409137)
3464
* bzr can now (again) capture crash data through the apport library,
3465
so that a single human-readable file can be attached to bug reports.
3466
This can be disabled by using ``-Dno_apport`` on the command line, or by
3467
putting ``no_apport`` into the ``debug_flags`` section of
3469
(Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #389328)
3471
* ``bzr push`` locally on windows will no longer give a locking error with
3472
dirstate based formats. (Robert Collins)
3474
* ``bzr shelve`` and ``bzr unshelve`` now work on windows.
3475
(Robert Collins, #305006)
3477
* Commit of specific files no longer prevents using the iter_changes
3478
codepath. On 2a repositories, commit of specific files should now be as
3479
fast, or slightly faster, than a full commit. (Robert Collins)
3481
* The internal core code that handles specific file operations like
3482
``bzr st FILENAME`` or ``bzr commit FILENAME`` has been changed to
3483
include the parent directories if they have altered, and when a
3484
directory stops being a directory its children are always included. This
3485
fixes a number of causes for ``InconsistentDelta`` errors, and permits
3486
faster commit of specific paths. (Robert Collins, #347649)
3491
* New developer documentation for content filtering.
3497
* ``bzrlib.shelf_ui`` has had the ``from_args`` convenience methods of its
3498
classes changed to manage lock lifetime of the trees they open in a way
3499
consistent with reader-exclusive locks. (Robert Collins, #305006)
3507
:Codename: nein nein nein!
3510
This release fixes two small but worthwhile bugs relevant to users on
3511
Microsoft Windows: some commands that failed on with locking errors will
3512
now work, and a bug that caused poor performance after committing a file
3513
with line-ending conversion has now been fixed. It also fixes a bug in
3514
pushing to older servers.
3519
* Fixed a problem where using content filtering and especially end-of-line
3520
conversion will commit too many copies a file.
3521
(Martin Pool, #415508)
3523
* Fix assertion error about ``_remember_remote_is_before`` in
3524
``set_tags_bytes`` when pushing to older smart servers.
3525
(Andrew Bennetts, Alexander Belchenko, #418931)
3530
* ``bzr push`` locally on Windows will no longer give a locking error with
3531
dirstate based formats. (Robert Collins)
3533
* ``bzr shelve`` and ``bzr unshelve`` now work on Windows.
3534
(Robert Collins, #305006)
3539
* ``bzrlib.shelf_ui`` has had the ``from_args`` convenience methods of its
3540
classes changed to manage lock lifetime of the trees they open in a way
3541
consistent with reader-exclusive locks. (Robert Collins, #305006)
3543
* ``Tree.path_content_summary`` may return a size of None, when called on
3544
a tree with content filtering where the size of the canonical form
3545
cannot be cheaply determined. (Martin Pool)
3547
* When manually creating transport servers in test cases, a new helper
3548
``TestCase.start_server`` that registers a cleanup and starts the server
3549
should be used. (Robert Collins)
3554
Compatibility Breaks
3555
********************
3557
* Committing directly to a stacked branch from a lightweight checkout will
3558
no longer work. In previous versions this would appear to work but would
3559
generate repositories with insufficient data to create deltas, leading
3560
to later errors when branching or reading from the repository.
3561
(Robert Collins, bug #375013)
3569
* Fetching from 2a branches from a version-2 bzr protocol would fail to
3570
copy the internal inventory pages from the CHK store. This cannot happen
3571
in normal use as all 2a compatible clients and servers support the
3572
version-3 protocol, but it does cause test suite failures when testing
3573
downlevel protocol behaviour. (Robert Collins)
3575
* Fix a test failure on karmic by making a locale test more robust.
3576
(Vincent Ladeuil, #413514)
3578
* Fixed "Pack ... already exists" error when running ``bzr pack`` on a
3579
fully packed 2a repository. (Andrew Bennetts, #382463)
3581
* Further tweaks to handling of ``bzr add`` messages about ignored files.
3582
(Jason Spashett, #76616)
3584
* Properly handle fetching into a stacked branch while converting the
3585
data, especially when there are also ghosts. The code was filling in
3586
parent inventories incorrectly, and also not handling when one of the
3587
parents was a ghost. (John Arbash Meinel, #402778, #412198)
3589
* ``RemoteStreamSource.get_stream_for_missing_keys`` will fetch CHK
3590
inventory pages when appropriate (by falling back to the vfs stream
3591
source). (Andrew Bennetts, #406686)
3593
* StreamSource generates rich roots from non-rich root sources correctly
3594
now. (Andrew Bennetts, #368921)
3596
* When deciding whether a repository was compatible for upgrading or
3597
fetching, we previously incorrectly checked the default repository
3598
format for the bzrdir format, rather than the format that was actually
3599
present on disk. (Martin Pool, #408824)
3604
* A better description of the platform is shown in crash tracebacks, ``bzr
3605
--version`` and ``bzr selftest``.
3606
(Martin Pool, #409137)
3608
* Cross-format fetches (such as between 1.9-rich-root and 2a) via the
3609
smart server are more efficient now. They send inventory deltas rather
3610
than full inventories. The smart server has two new requests,
3611
``Repository.get_stream_1.19`` and ``Repository.insert_stream_1.19`` to
3612
support this. (Andrew Bennetts, #374738, #385826)
3614
* Extracting the full ancestry and computing the ``merge_sort`` is now
3615
significantly faster. This effects things like ``bzr log -n0``. (For
3616
example, ``bzr log -r -10..-1 -n0 bzr.dev`` is 2.5s down to 1.0s.
3617
(John Arbash Meinel)
3628
* ``-Dstrict_locks`` can now be used to check that read and write locks
3629
are treated properly w.r.t. exclusivity. (We don't try to take an OS
3630
read lock on a file that we already have an OS write lock on.) This is
3631
now set by default for all tests, if you have a test which cannot be
3632
fixed, you can use ``self.thisFailsStrictLockCheck()`` as a
3633
compatibility knob. (John Arbash Meinel)
3635
* InterDifferingSerializer is now only used locally. Other fetches that
3636
would have used InterDifferingSerializer now use the more network
3637
friendly StreamSource, which now automatically does the same
3638
transformations as InterDifferingSerializer. (Andrew Bennetts)
3640
* ``KnownGraph`` now has a ``.topo_sort`` and ``.merge_sort`` member which
3641
are implemented in pyrex and significantly faster. This is exposed along
3642
with ``CombinedGraphIndex.find_ancestry()`` as
3643
``VersionedFiles.get_known_graph_ancestry(keys)``.
3644
(John Arbash Meinel)
3646
* RemoteBranch.open now honours ignore_fallbacks correctly on bzr-v2
3647
protocols. (Robert Collins)
3649
* The index code now has some specialized routines to extract the full
3650
ancestry of a key in a more efficient manner.
3651
``CombinedGraphIndex.find_ancestry()``. (Time to get ancestry for
3652
bzr.dev drops from 1.5s down to 300ms. For OOo from 33s => 10.5s) (John
3658
* Install the test ssl certificate and key so that installed bzr
3659
can run the https tests. (Denys Duchier, #392401)

3667
:1.18rc1: 2009-08-10
3669
This release of Bazaar marches on towards the 2.0 release in which the 2a
3670
'brisbane-core' format becomes generally recommended. Most of the work in
3671
this release now focusses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a
3672
and previous formats. There is a new text-mode interactive merge feature,
3673
a new guide to migration to 2a format in the user documentation, and
3674
pushing branches to a smart server is now much faster.
3676
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
3677
with bugfix-only releases based on it continuing for at least six months
3678
or until the following stable release.
3680
There are no changes from 1.18rc1 to 1.18.
3685
* ``bzr merge --interactive`` applies a user-selected portion of the
3686
merge. The UI is similar to ``shelve``. (Aaron Bentley)
3688
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now takes options ``--stacked-on URL`` and
3689
``--unstacked`` to change stacking of a branch.
3690
(Martin Pool, #391411)
3695
* Annotating on a stacked branch will now succeed in simple scenarios.
3696
There are still some complex scenarios where it will fail (bug #399884)
3697
(John Arbash Meinel, #393366)
3699
* A progress bar is no longer left dangling when ``bzr selftest``
3700
completes, and the progress bar updates with zero latency so the
3701
displayed test name is always the one that's actually running.
3702
(Martin Pool, #123688)
3704
* Authenticating against an ssh server now uses ``auth_none`` to determine
3705
if password authentication is even supported. This fixes a bug where
3706
users would be prompted for a launchpad password, even though launchpad
3707
only supports publickey authentication. (John Arbash Meinel, #375867)
3709
* BranchBuilder now accepts timezone to avoid test failures in countries far
3710
from GMT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #397716)
3712
* ``bzr commit`` no longer saves the unversioning of missing files until
3713
the commit has completed on the branch. This means that aborting a
3714
commit that found a missing file will leave the tree unedited.
3715
(Robert Collins, #282402)
3717
* ``bzr mv`` no longer takes out branch locks, which allows it to work
3718
when the branch is readonly. (Robert Collins, #216541)
3720
* ``bzr revert .`` no longer generates an InconsistentDelta error when
3721
there are missing subtrees. (Robert Collins, #367632)
3723
* ``bzr send`` now generates valid bundles with ``--2a`` formats. However,
3724
do to internal changes necessary to support this, older clients will
3725
fail when trying to insert them. For newer clients, the bundle can be
3726
used to apply the changes to any rich-root compatible format.
3727
(John Arbash Meinel, #393349)
3729
* Cope with FTP servers that don't support restart/append by falling back
3730
to reading and then rewriting the whole file, such as TahoeLAFS. (This
3731
fallback may be slow for some access patterns.) (Nils Durner, #294709)
3733
* Encode the paths in ``mbcs`` encoding on Windows when spawning an
3734
external diff client. This at least allows supporting filenames that are
3735
not ascii, but are present in the current locale. Ideally we would be
3736
able to pass the Unicode path, but that would be client dependent.
3737
(John Arbash Meinel, #382709)
3739
* Fix a compile bug on Solaris having to do with const and
3740
pointer-to-pointers. (John Arbash Meinel, #408441)
3742
* Fixed a NameError that occurs when merging or pulling from a URL that
3743
causes a redirection loop when bzr tries to read a URL as a bundle.
3744
(Andrew Bennetts, #400847)
3746
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'TestUIFactory' object has no attribute 'tick'``
3747
running send and similar commands on 2a formats.
3748
(Martin Pool, #408201)
3750
* Fix crash in some invocations of ``bzr status`` in format 2a.
3751
(Martin Pool, #403523)
3753
* Fixed export to existing directory: if directory is empty then export
3754
will succeed, otherwise it fails with error.
3755
(Alexander Belchenko, #406174)
3757
* Fixed spurious "Source branch does not support stacking" warning when
3758
pushing. (Andrew Bennetts, #388908)
3760
* Fixed spurious transport activity indicator appearing while tests are
3761
running. (Martin Pool, #343532)
3763
* Merge now correctly handles empty right-hand revision specs.
3764
(Aaron Bentley, #333961)
3766
* Renames to lexographically lower basenames in trees that have never been
3767
committed to will no longer corrupt the dirstate. This was caused by an
3768
bug in the dirstate update_minimal method. (Robert Collins, #395556)
3770
* Requests for unknown methods no longer cause the smart server to log
3771
lots of backtraces about ``UnknownSmartMethod``, ``do_chunk`` or
3772
``do_end``. (Andrew Bennetts, #338561)
3774
* Shelve will not shelve the initial add of the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
3776
* Streaming from bzr servers where there is a chain of stacked branches
3777
(A stacked on B stacked on C) will now work. (Robert Collins, #406597)
3779
* The environment variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` set to either ``text`` or ``none``
3780
always forces progress bars either on or off respectively. Otherwise,
3781
they're turned on if ``TERM`` is not ``dumb`` and stderr is a terminal.
3782
bzr always uses the 'text' user interface when run as a command, so
3783
``BZR_USE_TEXT_UI`` is no longer needed.
3784
(Martin Pool, #339385, #387717)
3786
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
3787
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
3788
repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)
3790
* The ``--hardlink`` option to ``branch`` and ``checkout`` is not
3791
supported at the moment on workingtree formats that can do content
3792
filtering. (See <https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/408193>.)
3793
bzr now says so, rather than just ignoring the option. (Martin Pool)
3795
* There was a bug in ``osutils.relpath`` that was only triggered on
3796
Windows. Essentially if you were at the root of a drive, and did
3797
something to a branch/repo on another drive, we would go into an
3798
infinite loop while trying to find a 'relative path'.
3799
(John Arbash Meinel, #394227)
3801
* ``WorkingTree4.unversion`` will no longer fail to unversion ids which
3802
were present in a parent tree but renamed in the working tree.
3803
(Robert Collins, #187207)
3808
* Can now rename/move files even if they have been removed from the inventory.
3811
* Pushing branches with tags via ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` is much
3812
faster, using a new ``Branch.set_tags_bytes`` smart server verb rather
3813
than VFS methods. For example, pushes of small branches with tags take
3814
11 rather than 18 smart server requests. (Andrew Bennetts, #398608)
3816
* Sending Ctrl-Break on Windows will now drop you into the debugger, in
3817
the same way that sending Ctrl-\\ does on other platforms.
3818
(John Arbash Meinel)
3823
* Added Bazaar 2.0 Upgrade Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
3828
* ``CLIUIFactory`` is deprecated; use ``TextUIFactory`` instead if you
3829
need to subclass or create a specific class, or better yet the existing
3830
``make_ui_for_terminal``. ``SilentUIFactory`` is clarified to do no
3831
user interaction at all, rather than trying to read from stdin but not
3832
writing any output, which would be strange if reading prompts or
3833
passwords. (Martin Pool)
3835
* New TransformPreview.commit() allows committing without a working tree.
3838
* ``pb`` parameter to ``TextTestResult`` is deprecated and ignored.
3841
* ProgressTasks now prefer to talk direct to their ProgressView not to the
3845
* ``WorkingTree._check`` now requires a references dict with keys matching
3846
those returned by ``WorkingTree._get_check_refs``. (Robert Collins)
3851
* ``CHKInventory.path2id`` uses the parent_id to basename hash to avoid
3852
reading the entries along the path, reducing work to lookup ids from
3853
paths. (Robert Collins)
3855
* ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` now raises ``InconsistentDelta`` if a delta adds
3856
as new a key which was already mapped. (Robert Collins)
3858
* Inventory delta application catches more cases of corruption and can
3859
prevent corrupt deltas from affecting consistency of data structures on
3860
disk. (Robert Collins)
3862
* --subunit support now adds timestamps if the subunit version supports
3863
it. (Robert Collins)
3865
* The Windows all-in-one installer now bundles the PyQt image format
3866
plugins, which allows previewing more images as part of 'qdiff'.
3867
(Alexander Belchenko)
3873
* Merge directive cherrypick tests must use the same root id.
3874
(Martin Pool, #409684)
3876
* Spurious failure in ``check`` tests on rich-root formats fixed.
3877
(Martin Pool, #408199)
3879
* The ``bzrlib.tests.TextTestRunner`` will no longer call
3880
``countTestsCases`` on the test being run. Progress information is
3881
instead handled by having the test passed in call ``result.progress``
3882
before running its contents. This improves the behaviour when using
3883
``TextTestRunner`` with test suites that don't support
3884
``countTestsCases``. (Robert Collins)
3887
bzr 1.17.1 (unreleased)
3888
#######################
3893
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
3894
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
3895
knit format repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)

:Codename: so-late-its-brunch
3901
:1.17rc1: 2009-07-13
3905
Bazaar continues to blaze a straight and shining path to the 2.0 release and
3906
the elevation of the ``2a`` beta format to the full glory of "supported and
3909
Highlights in this release include greatly reduced memory consumption during
3910
commits, faster ``ls``, faster ``annotate``, faster network operations if
3911
you're specifying a revision number and the final destruction of those
3912
annoying progress bar artifacts.
3915
Changes from 1.17rc1 to 1.17final
3916
*********************************
3918
* Change an extension to call the python ``frozenset()`` rather than the C
3919
api ``PyFrozenSet_New``. It turns out that python2.4 did not expose the
3920
C api. (John Arbash Meinel, #399366)
3922
* Fixes for the Makefile and the rename of ``generate_docs.py`` to
3923
``tools/generate_docs.py`` to allow everything to be built on Windows.
3924
(John Arbash Meinel, #399356)
3926
* ``bzr serve`` once again applies a ``ChrootServer`` to the given
3927
directory before serving it. (Andrew Bennetts, #400535)
3930
Compatibility Breaks
3931
********************
3933
* ``bzr register-branch`` from the Launchpad plugin now refers to "project"
3934
instead of "product" which is the correct Launchpad terminology. The
3935
--product option is deprecated and users should switch to using --project.
3936
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #238764)
3942
* ``bzr push`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
3943
are present in the working tree (if one is present) and no revision is
3944
specified. The configuration option ``push_strict`` can be used to set the
3945
default for this behavior. (Vincent Ladeuil, #284038, #322808, #65286)
3947
* ``bzr revno`` and ``bzr revision-info`` now have a ``--tree`` option to
3948
show revision info for the working tree instead of the branch.
3949
(Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
3951
* ``bzr send`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
3952
are present in the working tree and no revision is specified. The
3953
configuration option ``send_strict`` can be used to set the default for this
3955
(Vincent Ladeuil, #206577)
3957
* ``bzr switch --create-branch/-b`` can now be used to create and switch
3958
to a new branch. Supplying a name without a ``/`` will create the branch
3959
relative to the existing branch. (similar to how ``bzr switch name``
3960
works when the branch already exists.) (John Arbash Meinel)
3966
* Accept uppercase "Y/N" to prompts such as from break lock.
3967
(#335182, Tim Powell, Martin Pool)
3969
* Add documentation about diverged branches and how to fix them in the
3970
centralized workflow with local commits. Mention ``bzr help
3971
diverged-branches`` when a push fails because the branches have
3972
diverged. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #269477)
3974
* Annotate would sometimes 'latch on' to trivial lines, causing important
3975
lines to be incorrectly annotated. (John Arbash Meinel, #387952)
3977
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
3978
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
3979
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
3981
* Avoid progress bar artifacts being left behind on the screen.
3982
(Martin Pool, #321935)
3984
* Better message in ``bzr split`` error suggesting a rich root format.
3985
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #220067)
3987
* ``Branch.set_append_revisions_only`` now works with branches on a smart
3988
server. (Andrew Bennetts, #365865)
3990
* By default, ``bzr branch`` will fail if the target directory exists, but
3991
does not already have a control directory. The flag ``--use-existing-dir``
3992
will allow operation to proceed. (Alexander Belchenko, #307554)
3994
* ``bzr ls DIR --from-root`` now shows only things in DIR, not everything.
3997
* Fetch between repositories does not error if they have inconsistent data
3998
that should be irrelevant to the fetch operation. (Aaron Bentley)
4000
* Fix ``AttributeError`` exception when reconfiguring lightweight checkout
4001
of a remote repository.
4002
(Jelmer Vernooij, #332194)
4004
* Fix bug in decoding v3 smart server messages when receiving multiple
4005
lots of excess bytes after an end-of-message.
4008
* Force deletion of readonly files during merge, update and other tree
4010
(Craig Hewetson, Martin Pool, #218206)
4012
* Force socket shutdown in threaded http test servers to avoid client hangs
4013
(pycurl). (Vincent Ladeuil, #383920).
4015
* ``LRUCache`` will maintain the linked list pointers even if a nodes
4016
cleanup function raises an exception. (John Arbash Meinel, #396838)
4018
* Progress bars are now suppressed again when the environment variable
4019
``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` is set to ``none``.
4020
(Martin Pool, #339385)
4022
* Reduced memory consumption during ``bzr commit`` of large files. For
4023
pre 2a formats, should be down to ~3x the size of a file.
4024
For ``--2a`` format repositories, it is down to the size of the file
4025
content plus the size of the compressed text. Related to bug #109114.
4026
(John Arbash Meinel)
4028
* Set hidden attribute on .bzr directory below unicode path should never
4029
fail with error. The operation should succeed even if bzr unable to set
4030
the attribute. (Alexander Belchenko, related to bug #335362).
4032
* Stacking will no longer accept requests to stack on the same
4033
branch/repository. Existing branches that incorrectly reference the same
4034
repository in a stacking configuration will now raise
4035
UnstackableLocationError when the branch is opened. This can be fixed by
4036
removing the stacking location inside ``.bzr/branch``.
4037
(Robert Collins, #376243)
4039
* The ``log+`` decorator, useful in debugging or profiling, could cause
4040
"AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'next'". This is now
4041
fixed. The log decorator no longer shows the elapsed time or transfer
4042
rate because they're available in the log prefixes and the transport
4043
activity display respectively.
4044
(Martin Pool, #340347)
4046
* Unshelve works correctly when multiple zero-length files are present on
4047
the shelf. (Aaron Bentley, #363444)
4049
* Progress bars no longer show the network transport scheme or direction.
4052
* launchpad-login now respects the 'verbose' option.
4053
(Jonathan Lange, #217031)
4059
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is now officially deprecated. It is not
4060
possible to write a deprecation wrapper, but the variable will be
4061
removed in the near future. Use ``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding()``
4062
instead. (Alexander Belchenko)
4064
* Command lookup has had hooks added. ``bzrlib.Command.hooks`` has
4065
three new hook points: ``get_command``, ``get_missing_command`` and
4066
``list_commands``, which allow just-in-time command name provision
4067
rather than requiring all command names be known a-priori.
4070
* ``get_app_path`` from win32utils.py now supports REG_EXPAND_SZ data type
4071
and can read path to wordpad.exe. (Alexander Belchenko, #392046)
4073
* ``graph.KnownGraph`` has been added. This is a class that can give
4074
answers to ``heads()`` very quickly. However, it has the assumption that
4075
the whole graph has already been loaded. This is true during
4076
``annotate`` so it is used there with good success (as much as 2x faster
4077
for files with long ancestry and 'cherrypicked' changes.)
4078
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
4080
* OS file locks are now taken out using ``CreateFile`` rather than
4081
``LockFileEx`` on Windows. The locking remains exclusive with
4082
``LockFileEx`` but now it also works on older versions of Windows (such
4083
as Win98). (Martin <gzlist>)
4085
* pack <=> pack fetching is now done via a ``PackStreamSource`` rather
4086
than the ``Packer`` code. The user visible change is that we now
4087
properly fetch the minimum number of texts for non-smart fetching.
4088
(John Arbash Meinel)
4091
* ``VersionedFiles._add_text`` is a new api that lets us insert text into
4092
the repository as a single string, rather than a list of lines. This can
4093
improve memory overhead and performance of committing large files.
4094
(Currently a private api, used only by commit). (John Arbash Meinel)
4100
* ``bzr annotate`` can now be significantly faster. The time for
4101
``bzr annotate NEWS`` is down to 7s from 22s in 1.16. Files with long
4102
histories and lots of 'duplicate insertions' will be improved more than
4103
others. (John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
4105
* ``bzr ls`` is now faster. On OpenOffice.org, the time drops from 2.4
4106
to 1.1 seconds. The improvement for ``bzr ls -r-1`` is more
4107
substantial dropping from 54.3 to 1.1 seconds. (Ian Clatworthy)
4109
* Improve "Path(s) are not versioned" error reporting for some commands.
4112
* Initial commit performance in ``--2a`` repositories has been improved by
4113
making it cheaper to build the initial CHKMap. (John Arbash Meinel)
4115
* Resolving a revno to a revision id on a branch accessed via ``bzr://``
4116
or ``bzr+ssh://`` is now much faster and involves no VFS operations.
4117
This speeds up commands like ``bzr pull -r 123``. (Andrew Bennetts)
4119
* ``revision-info`` now properly aligns the revnos/revids in the output
4120
and doesn't traceback when given revisions not in the current branch.
4121
Performance is also significantly improved when requesting multiple revs
4122
at once. (Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
4124
* Tildes are no longer escaped by Transports. (Andy Kilner)
4130
* Avoid bad text wrapping in generated documentation. Slightly better
4131
formatting in the user reference.
4132
(Martin Pool, #249908)
4134
* Minor clarifications to the help for End-Of-Line conversions.
4140
* Removed overspecific error class ``InvalidProgressBarType``.
4143
* The method ``ProgressView._show_transport_activity`` is now
4144
``show_transport_activity`` because it's part of the contract between
4145
this class and the UI. (Martin Pool)
4151
:Released: 2009-06-26
4153
End user testing of the 2a format revealed two serious bugs. The first,
4154
#365615, caused bzr to raise AbsentContentFactory errors when autopacking.
4155
This meant that commits or pushes to 2a-format repositories failed
4158
The second bug, #390563, caused the smart server to raise AbsentContentFactory
4159
when streaming 2a stacked 2a-format branches. This particularly affected
4160
branches stored on Launchpad in the 2a format.
4162
Both of these bugs cause command failures only, neither of them cause data
4163
corruption or data loss. And, of course, both of these bugs are now fixed.
4168
* We now properly request a more minimal set of file texts when fetching
4169
multiple revisions. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
4171
* Repositories using CHK pages (which includes the new 2a format) will no
4172
longer error during commit or push operations when an autopack operation
4173
is triggered. (Robert Collins, #365615)
4175
* ``chk_map.iter_interesting_nodes`` now properly uses the *intersection*
4176
of referenced nodes rather than the *union* to determine what
4177
uninteresting pages we still need to look at. Prior to this,
4178
incrementally pushing to stacked branch would push the minimal data, but
4179
fetching everything would request extra texts. There are some unhandled
4180
cases wrt trees of different depths, but this fixes the common cases.
4181
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
4183
* ``GroupCompress`` repositories now take advantage of the pack hints
4184
parameter to permit cross-format fetching to incrementally pack the
4185
converted data. (Robert Collins)
4187
* ``Repository.commit_write_group`` now returns opaque data about what
4188
was committed, for passing to the ``Repository.pack``. Repositories
4189
without atomic commits will still return None. (Robert Collins)
4191
* ``Repository.pack`` now takes an optional ``hint`` parameter
4192
which will support doing partial packs for repositories that can do
4193
that. (Robert Collins)
4195
* RepositoryFormat has a new attribute 'pack_compresses' which is True
4196
when doing a pack operation changes the compression of content in the
4197
repository. (Robert Collins)
4199
* ``StreamSink`` and ``InterDifferingSerialiser`` will call
4200
``Repository.pack`` with the hint returned by
4201
``Repository.commit_write_group`` if the formats were different and the
4202
repository can increase compression by doing a pack operation.

:1.16rc1: 2009-06-11
4212
This version of Bazaar contains the beta release of the new ``2a`` repository
4213
format, suitable for testing by fearless, advanced users. This format or an
4214
updated version of it will become the default format in Bazaar 2.0. Please
4215
read the NEWS entry before even thinking about upgrading to the new format.
4217
Also included are speedups for many operations on huge projects, a bug fix for
4218
pushing stacked new stacked branches to smart servers and the usual bevy of
4219
bug fixes and improvements.
4222
Changes from 1.16rc1 to 1.16final
4223
*********************************
4225
* Fix the nested tree flag check so that upgrade from development formats to
4226
2a can work correctly.
4227
(Jelmer Vernooij, #388727)
4229
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
4230
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
4231
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
4234
Compatibility Breaks
4235
********************
4237
* Display prompt on stderr (instead of stdout) when querying users so
4238
that the output of commands can be safely redirected.
4239
(Vincent Ladeuil, #376582)
4245
* A new repository format ``2a`` has been added. This is a beta release
4246
of the brisbane-core (aka group-compress) project. This format now
4247
suitable for wider testing by advanced users willing to deal with some
4248
bugs. We would appreciate test reports, either positive or negative.
4249
Format 2a is substantially smaller and faster for many operations on
4250
many trees. This format or an updated version will become the default
4253
This is a rich-root format, so this repository format can be used with
4254
bzr-svn. Bazaar branches in previous non-rich-root formats can be
4255
converted (including by merge, push and pull) to format 2a, but not vice
4256
versa. We recommend upgrading previous development formats to 2a.
4258
Upgrading to this format can take considerable time because it expands
4259
and more concisely repacks the full history.
4261
If you use stacked branches, you must upgrade the stacked branches
4262
before the stacked-on branches. (See <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/374735>)
4264
* ``--development7-rich-root`` is a new dev format, similar to ``--dev6``
4265
but using a Revision serializer using bencode rather than XML.
4266
(Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
4268
* mail_client=claws now supports --body (and message body hooks). Also uses
4269
configured from address. (Barry Warsaw)
4275
* ``--development6-rich-root`` can now stack. (Modulo some smart-server
4276
bugs with stacking and non default formats.)
4277
(John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
4279
* ``--development6-rich-root`` delays generating a delta index for the
4280
first object inserted into a group. This has a beneficial impact on
4281
``bzr commit`` since each committed texts goes to its own group. For
4282
committing a 90MB file, it drops peak memory by about 200MB, and speeds
4283
up commit from 7s => 4s. (John Arbash Meinel)
4285
* Numerous operations are now faster for huge projects, i.e. those
4286
with a large number of files and/or a large number of revisions,
4287
particularly when the latest development format is used. These
4288
operations (and improvements on OpenOffice.org) include:
4290
* branch in a shared repository (2X faster)
4291
* branch --no-tree (100X faster)
4297
* Pyrex version of ``bencode`` support. This provides optimized support
4298
for both encoding and decoding, and is now found at ``bzrlib.bencode``.
4299
``bzrlib.utils.bencode`` is now deprecated.
4300
(Alexander Belchenko, Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
4306
* Bazaar can now pass attachment files to the mutt email client.
4307
(Edwin Grubbs, #384158)
4309
* Better message in ``bzr add`` output suggesting using ``bzr ignored`` to
4310
see which files can also be added. (Jason Spashett, #76616)
4312
* ``bzr pull -r 123`` from a stacked branch on a smart server no longer fails.
4313
Also, the ``Branch.revision_history()`` API now works in the same
4314
situation. (Andrew Bennetts, #380314)
4316
* ``bzr serve`` on Windows no longer displays a traceback simply because a
4317
TCP client disconnected. (Andrew Bennetts)
4319
* Clarify the rules for locking and fallback repositories. Fix bugs in how
4320
``RemoteRepository`` was handling fallbacks along with the
4321
``_real_repository``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #375496)
4323
* Fix a small bug with fetching revisions w/ ghosts into a new stacked
4324
branch. Not often triggered, because it required ghosts to be part of
4325
the fetched revisions, not in the stacked-on ancestry.
4326
(John Arbash Meinel)
4328
* Fix status and commit to work with content filtered trees, addressing
4329
numerous bad bugs with line-ending support. (Ian Clatworthy, #362030)
4331
* Fix problem of "directory not empty" when contending for a lock over
4332
sftp. (Martin Pool, #340352)
4334
* Fix rule handling so that eol is optional, not mandatory.
4335
(Ian Clatworthy, #379370)
4337
* Pushing a new stacked branch to a 1.15 smart server was broken due to a
4338
bug in the ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` smart verb. This is fixed in
4339
1.16, but required changes to the network protocol, so the
4340
``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` verb has been removed and replaced with a
4341
corrected ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex_1.16`` verb. 1.15 clients will
4342
still work with a 1.16 server as they will fallback to slower (and
4344
(Jonathan Lange, Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts, #385132)
4346
* Reconcile can now deal with text revisions that originated in revisions
4347
that are ghosts. (Jelmer Vernooij, #336749)
4349
* Support cloning of branches with ghosts in the left hand side history.
4350
(Jelmer Vernooij, #248540)
4352
* The ''bzr diff'' now catches OSError from osutils.rmtree and logs a
4353
helpful message to the trace file, unless the temp directory really was
4354
removed (which would be very strange). Since the diff operation has
4355
succeeded from the user's perspective, no output is written to stderr
4356
or stdout. (Maritza Mendez, #363837)
4358
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
4359
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
4360
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
4361
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)
4366
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in Russian.
4367
(Alexey Shtokalo, Alexander Iljin, Alexander Belchenko, Dmitry Vasiliev,
4368
Volodymyr Kotulskyi)
4373
* Added osutils.parent_directories(). (Ian Clatworthy)
4375
* ``bzrlib.progress.ProgressBar``, ``ChildProgress``, ``DotsProgressBar``,
4376
``TTYProgressBar`` and ``child_progress`` are now deprecated; use
4377
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` instead. (Martin Pool)
4379
* ``graph.StackedParentsProvider`` is now a public API, replacing
4380
``graph._StackedParentsProvider``. The api is now considered stable and ready
4381
for external users. (Gary van der Merwe)
4383
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is deprecated in favor of
4384
``get_user_encoding``. (Alexander Belchenko)
4386
* TreeTransformBase no longer assumes that limbo is provided via disk.
4387
DiskTreeTransform now provides disk functionality. (Aaron Bentley)
4392
* Remove ``weave.py`` script for accessing internals of old weave-format
4393
repositories. (Martin Pool)
4398
* ``make check`` no longer repeats the test run in ``LANG=C``.
4399
(Martin Pool, #386180)
4401
* The number of cores is now correctly detected on OSX. (John Szakmeister)
4403
* The number of cores is also detected on Solaris and win32. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4405
* The number of cores is also detected on FreeBSD. (Matthew Fuller)
4410
:1.15rc1: 2009-05-16
4414
The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming content
4415
with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search. New command ``bzr
4416
dpush``. Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two
4417
revisions introduce the exact same line.
4419
Changes from 1.15.1 to 1.15.2
4420
*****************************
4422
* Use zdll on Windows to build ``_chk_map_pyx`` extension.
4423
(Alexander Belchenko)
4425
Changes from 1.15final to 1.15.1
4426
*********************************
4428
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
4429
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
4430
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
4431
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)
4433
Changes from 1.15rc1 to 1.15final
4434
*********************************
4438
Compatibility Breaks
4439
********************
4441
* ``bzr ls`` is no longer recursive by default. To recurse, use the
4442
new ``-R`` option. The old ``--non-recursive`` option has been removed.
4443
If you alias ``ls`` to ``ls -R``, you can disable recursion using
4444
``--no-recursive`` instead. (Ian Clatworthy)
4449
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
4450
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
4453
* The new development format ``--development6-rich-root`` now supports
4454
stacking. We chose not to use a new format marker, since old clients
4455
will just fail to open stacked branches, the same as if we used a new
4456
format flag. (John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
4458
* Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two revisions
4459
introduce the exact same line. See ``bzrlib.annotate._break_annotation_tie``
4460
Be aware though that this is temporary, private (as indicated by the leading
4461
'_') and a first step to address the problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #348459)
4463
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
4464
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
4467
* ``bzr send`` will now check the ``child_submit_format`` setting in
4468
the submit branch to determine what format to use, if none was
4469
specified on the command-line. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4474
* -Dhpss output now includes the number of VFS calls made to the remote
4475
server. (Jonathan Lange)
4477
* ``--coverage`` works for code running in threads too.
4478
(Andrew Bennets, Vincent Ladeuil)
4480
* ``bzr pull`` now has a ``--local`` option to only make changes to the
4481
local branch, and not the bound master branch.
4482
(Gary van der Merwe, #194716)
4484
* ``bzr rm *`` is now as fast as ``bzr rm * --keep``. (Johan Walles, #180116)
4489
* Adding now works properly when path contains a symbolic link.
4490
(Geoff Bache, #183831)
4492
* An error is now raised for unknown eol values. (Brian de Alwis, #358199)
4494
* ``bzr merge --weave`` will now generate a conflict if one side deletes a
4495
line, and the other side modifies the line. (John Arbash Meinel, #328171)
4497
* ``bzr reconfigure --standalone`` no longer raises IncompatibleRepositories.
4498
(Martin von Gagern, #248932)
4500
* ``bzr send`` works to send emails again using MAPI.
4501
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #346998)
4503
* Check for missing parent inventories in StreamSink. This prevents
4504
incomplete stacked branches being created by 1.13 bzr:// and
4505
bzr+ssh:// clients (which have bug #354036). Instead, the server now
4506
causes those clients to send the missing records. (Andrew Bennetts)
4508
* Correctly handle http servers proposing multiple authentication schemes.
4509
(Vincent Ladeuil, #366107)
4511
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
4512
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
4514
* Fix a bug in the pure-python ``GroupCompress`` code when handling copies
4515
longer than 64KiB. (John Arbash Meinel, #364900)
4517
* Fix TypeError in running ``bzr break-lock`` on some URLs.
4518
(Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #365891)
4520
* Non-recursive ``bzr ls`` now works properly when a path is specified.
4521
(Jelmer Vernooij, #357863)
4523
* ssh usernames (defined in ~/.ssh/config) are honoured for bzr+ssh connections.

* Several bugs related to unicode symlinks have been fixed and the test suite
4527
enhanced to better catch regressions for them. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4529
* The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming
4530
content with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search: it assumes
4531
that the client will make sure it is happy with what it got, and this
4532
sort of mismatch is normal for stacked environments.
4533
bzr 1.13.0/1 will stream from unstacked branches only - in that case not
4534
getting all the content expected would be a bug. However the graph
4535
search is how we figured out what we wanted, so a mismatch is both odd
4536
and unrecoverable without starting over, and starting over will end up
4537
with the same data as if we just permitted the mismatch. If data is
4538
gc'd, doing a new search will find only the truncated data, so sending
4539
only the truncated data seems reasonable. bzr versions newer than this
4540
will stream from stacked branches and check the stream to find missing
4541
content in the stacked-on branch, and thus will handle the situation
4542
implicitly. (Robert Collins, #360791)
4544
* Upgrading to, or fetching into a 'rich-root' format will now correctly
4545
set the root data the same way that reconcile does.
4546
(Robert Collins, #368921)
4548
* Using unicode Windows API to obtain command-line arguments.
4549
(Alexander Belchenko, #375934)
4557
* ``InterPackRepo.fetch`` and ``RepoFetcher`` now raise ``NoSuchRevision``
4558
instead of ``InstallFailed`` when they detect a missing revision.
4559
``InstallFailed`` itself has been deleted. (Jonathan Lange)
4561
* Not passing arguments to ``bzrlib.commands.main()`` will now grab the
4562
arguments from ``osutils.get_unicode_argv()`` which has proper support
4563
for unicode arguments on windows. Further, the supplied arguments are now
4564
required to be unicode strings, rather than user_encoded strings.
4565
(Alexander Belchenko)
4570
* ``bzrlib.branch.Branch.set_parent`` is now present on the base branch
4571
class and will call ``_set_parent_location`` after doing unicode
4572
encoding. (Robert Collins)
4574
* ``bzrlib.remote.RemoteBranch._set_parent_location`` will use a new verb
4575
``Branch.set_parent_location`` removing further VFS operations.
4578
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir._get_config`` now returns a ``TransportConfig``
4579
or similar when the dir supports configuration settings. The base class
4580
defaults to None. There is a matching new server verb
4581
``BzrDir.get-config_file`` to reduce roundtrips for getting BzrDir
4582
configuration. (Robert Collins)
4584
* ``bzrlib.tests.ExtendedTestResult`` has new methods ``startTests``
4585
called before the first test is started, ``done`` called after the last
4586
test completes, and a new parameter ``strict``. (Robert Collins)
4588
* ``-Dhpss`` when passed to bzr will cause a backtrace to be printed when
4589
VFS operations are started on a smart server repository. This should not
4590
occur on regular push and pull operations, and is a key indicator for
4591
performance regressions. (Robert Collins)
4593
* ``-Dlock`` when passed to the selftest (e.g. ``bzr -Dlock selftest``) will
4594
cause mismatched physical locks to cause test errors rather than just
4595
reporting to the screen. (Robert Collins)
4597
* -Dprogress will cause pdb to start up if a progress view jumps
4598
backwards. (Robert Collins)
4600
* Fallback ``CredentialStore`` instances registered with ``fallback=True``
4601
are now be able to provide credentials if obtaining credentials
4602
via ~/.bazaar/authentication.conf fails. (Jelmer Vernooij,
4603
Vincent Ladeuil, #321918)
4605
* New hook ``Lock.lock_broken`` which runs when a lock is
4606
broken. This is mainly for testing that lock/unlock are
4607
balanced in tests. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4609
* New MergeDirective hook 'merge_request_body' allows hooks to supply or
4610
alter a body for the message produced by ``bzr send``.
4612
* New smart server verb ``BzrDir.initialize_ex`` which implements a
4613
refactoring to the core of clone allowing less round trips on new
4614
branches. (Robert Collins)
4616
* New method ``Tags.rename_revisions`` that can rename revision ids tags
4617
are pointing at. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4619
* Updated the bundled ``ConfigObj`` library to 4.6.0 (Matt Nordhoff)
4624
* ``bzr selftest`` will now fail if lock/unlock are not correctly balanced in
4625
tests. Using ``-Dlock`` will turn the related failures into warnings.

Compatibility Breaks
4676
********************
4678
* A previously disabled code path to accelerate getting configuration
4679
settings from a smart server has been reinstated. We think this *may*
4680
cause a incompatibility with servers older than bzr 0.15. We intend
4681
to issue a point release to address this if it turns out to be a
4682
problem. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4684
* bzr no longer autodetects nested trees as 'tree-references'. They
4685
must now be explicitly added tree references. At the commandline, use
4686
join --reference instead of add. (Aaron Bentley)
4688
* The ``--long`` log format (the default) no longer shows merged
4689
revisions implicitly, making it consistent with the ``short`` and
4690
``line`` log formats. To see merged revisions for just a given
4691
revision, use ``bzr log -n0 -rX``. To see every merged revision,
4692
use ``bzr log -n0``. (Ian Clatworthy)
4697
* New formats ``1.14`` and ``1.14-rich-root`` supporting End-Of-Line
4698
(EOL) conversions, keyword templating (via the bzr-keywords plugin)
4699
and generic content filtering. These formats replace the experimental
4700
``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root`` formats
4701
respectively, but have support for filtered views disabled.
4704
* New ``mv --auto`` option recognizes renames after they occur.
4707
* ``bzr`` can now get passwords from stdin without requiring a controlling
4708
terminal (i.e. by redirecting stdin). (Vincent Ladeuil)
4710
* ``bzr log`` now supports filtering of multiple files and directories
4711
and will show changes that touch any of them. Furthermore,
4712
directory filtering now shows the changes to any children of that
4713
directory, not just the directory object itself.
4714
(Ian Clatworthy, #97715)
4716
* ``bzr shelve`` can now apply changes without storing anything on the
4717
shelf, via the new --destroy option. (Aaron Bentley)
4719
* ``bzr send`` now accepts --body to specify an initial message body.
4722
* ``bzr xxx --usage`` where xxx is a command now shows a usage
4723
message and the options without the descriptive help sections
4724
(like Description and Examples). A message is also given
4725
explaining how to see the complete help, i.e. ``bzr help xxx``.
4728
* Content filters can now be used to provide custom conversion
4729
between the canonical format of content (i.e. as stored) and
4730
the convenience format of content (i.e. as created in working
4731
trees). See ``bzr help content-filters`` for further details.
4732
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
4734
* End-of-line conversion is now supported for formats supporting
4735
content filtering. See ``bzr help eol`` for details.
4738
* Newly-blessed `join` command allows combining two trees into one.
4744
* A new format name alias ``default-rich-root`` has been added and
4745
points at the closest relative of the default format that supports
4746
rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #338061)
4748
* Branching from a stacked branch using ``bzr*://`` will now stream
4749
the data when the target repository does not need topological
4750
ordering, reducing round trips and network overhead. This uses the
4751
existing smart server methods added in 1.13, so will work on any
4752
1.13 or newer server. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4754
* ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr export`` now supports a ``--filters`` option
4755
that displays/saves the content after content filters are applied.
4758
* ``bzr ignore`` gives a more informative message when existing
4759
version controlled files match the ignore pattern. (Neil
4760
Martinsen-Burrell, #248895)
4762
* ``bzr log`` now has ``--include-merges`` as an alias for ``--levels 0``.
4765
* ``bzr send`` is faster on repositories with deep histories.
4768
* IPv6 literals are accepted in URLs.
4769
(stlman, Martin Pool, Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
4771
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
4772
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
4774
* Prompt for user names if they are not in the configuration.
4775
(Jelmer Vernooij, #256612)
4777
* Pushing to a stacked pack-format branch on a 1.12 or older smart server
4778
now takes many less round trips. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins,
4781
* Streaming push can be done to older repository formats. This is
4782
implemented using a new ``Repository.insert_stream_locked`` RPC.
4783
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4785
* The "ignoring files outside view: .." message has been re-worded
4786
to "Ignoring files outside view. View is .." to reduce confusion
4787
about what was being considered and what was being ignored.
4790
* The ``long`` log formatter now shows [merge] indicators. If
4791
only one level of revisions is displayed and merges are found,
4792
the ``long`` and ``short`` log formatters now tell the user
4793
how to see the hidden merged revisions. (Ian Clatworthy)
4795
* The ``brisbane-core`` project has delivered its beta format
4796
``development6-rich-root``. This format is suitable for judicious
4797
testing by early adopters. In particular if you are benchmarking bzr
4798
performance please be sure to test using this format. At this stage
4799
more information is best obtained by contacting the Bazaar mailing list
4800
or IRC channel if you are interested in using this format. We will make
4801
end user documentation available closer to blessing the format as
4802
production ready. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Ian Clatworthy,
4803
Vincent Ladeuil, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4805
* Tildes are no longer escaped. No more %7Euser/project/branch!
4811
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
4812
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
4813
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
4814
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
4815
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
4816
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
4817
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4819
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
4820
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
4822
* Authentication plugins now receive all the parameters from the request
4823
itself (aka host, port, realm, path, etc). Previously, only the
4824
authentication section name, username and encoded password were
4825
provided. (Jean-Francois Roy)
4827
* bzr gives a better message if an invalid regexp is passed to ``bzr log
4828
-m``. (Anne Mohsen, Martin Pool)
4830
* ``bzr split`` now says "See also: join" (Aaron Bentley, #335015)
4832
* ``bzr version-info`` now works in empty branches. (Jelmer Vernooij,
4835
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
4836
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
4837
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
4839
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
4840
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
4842
* Fix 'make check-dist-tarball' failure by converting paths to unicode when
4843
needed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355454)
4845
* Fixed "Specified file 'x/y/z' is outside current view: " occurring
4846
on ``bzr add x/y/z`` in formats supporting views when no view is
4847
defined. (Ian Clatworthy, #344708)
4849
* It is no longer possible to fetch between repositories while the
4850
target repository is in a write group. This prevents race conditions
4851
that prevent the use of RPC's to perform fetch, and thus allows
4852
optimising more operations. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4854
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
4856
* No more warnings are issued about ``sha`` being deprecated under python-2.6.
4857
(Vincent Ladeuil, #346593)
4859
* Pushing a new branch to a server that has a stacking policy will now
4860
upgrade from the local branch format when the stacking policy points at
4861
a branch which is itself stackable, because we know the client can read
4862
both branches, we know that the trunk for the project can be read too,
4863
so the upgrade will not inconvenience users. (Robert Collins, #345169)
4865
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
4866
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
4867
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
4868
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
4869
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
4870
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
4871
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4873
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX. Several minor issues (mostly
4874
test related) have been fixed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355273).
4876
* The GNU Changelog formatter is slightly improved in the case where
4877
the delta is empty, and now correctly claims not to support tags.
4880
* Shelve can now shelve changes to a symlink target.
4881
(James Westby, #341558)
4883
* The help for the ``info`` command has been corrected.
4884
(Ian Clatworthy, #351931)
4886
* Upgrade will now use a sensible default format if the source repository
4887
uses rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #252908)
4892
* Expanded the index of the developer documentation. (Eric Siegerman)
4894
* New topic `bzr help debug-flags`. (Martin Pool)
4896
* The generated manpage now explicitly lists aliases as commands.
4897
(James Westby, #336998)
4902
* APIs deprecated in 1.6 and previous versions of bzr are now removed.
4905
* ``CommitReporter`` is no longer called with ``unchanged`` status during
4906
commit - this was a full-tree overhead that bzr no longer performs.
4909
* New abstract ``UIFactory`` method ``get_username`` which will be called to
4910
obtain the username to use when connecting to remote machines.
4913
* New API ``Inventory.filter()`` added that filters an inventory by
4914
a set of file-ids so that only those fileids, their parents and
4915
their children are included. (Ian Clatworthy)
4917
* New sort order for ``get_record_stream`` ``groupcompress`` which
4918
sorts optimally for use with groupcompress compressors. (John Arbash
4919
Meinel, Robert Collins)
4921
* Repository APIs ``get_deltas_for_revisions()`` and
4922
``get_revision_delta()`` now support an optional ``specific_fileids``
4923
parameter. If provided, the deltas are filtered so that only those
4924
file-ids, their parents and their children are included.
4927
* The ``get_credentials`` and ``set_credentials`` methods of
4928
``AuthenticationConfig`` now accept an optional realm argument.
4931
* The ``pb`` argument to ``fetch()`` is deprecated.
4934
* The ``Serializer`` class and the serializer ``format registry`` have moved
4935
from ``bzrlib.xml_serializer`` to ``bzrlib.serializer``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4937
* The smart server jail now hooks into BzrDir.open to prevent any BzrDir
4938
that is not inside the backing transport from being opened. See the
4939
module documentation for ``bzrlib.smart.request`` for details.
4940
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4942
* ``Tree.get_symlink_target`` now always returns a unicode string result
4943
or None. Previously it would return the bytes from reading the link
4944
which could be in any arbitrary encoding. (Robert Collins)
4949
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now fails the test if its own ``setUp``
4950
and ``tearDown`` weren't called. This catches faulty tests that
4951
forget to upcall when overriding ``setUp`` and ``tearDown``. Those
4952
faulty tests were not properly isolated.
4953
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4955
* Fix test_msgeditor.MsgEditorTest test isolation.
4956
(Vincent Ladeuil, #347130)
4958
* ``medusa`` is not used anymore as an FTP test server starting with
4959
python2.6. A new FTP test server based on ``pyftplib`` can be used
4960
instead. This new server is a soft dependency as medusa which is still
4961
preferred if both are available (modulo python version).
4967
* Added ``chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string maps.
4968
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
4970
* Added ``bzrlib.chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string
4971
maps. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
4973
* Added ``bzrlib.inventory_delta`` module. This will be used for
4974
serializing and deserializing inventory deltas for more efficient
4975
streaming on the network. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4977
* ``Branch._get_config`` has been added, which splits out access to the
4978
specific config file from the branch. This is used to let RemoteBranch
4979
avoid constructing real branch objects to access configuration settings.
4980
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4982
* ``Branch`` now implements ``set_stacked_on_url`` in the base class as
4983
the implementation is generic and should impact foreign formats. This
4984
helps performance for ``RemoteBranch`` push operations to new stacked
4985
branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4987
* ``BtreeIndex._spill_mem_keys_to_disk()`` now generates disk index with
4988
optmizations turned off. This only has effect when processing > 100,000
4989
keys during something like ``bzr pack``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4991
* ``bzr selftest`` now accepts ``--subunit`` to run in subunit output
4992
mode. Requires ``lp:subunit`` installed to work, but is not a hard
4993
dependency. (Robert Collins)
4995
* ``BzrDir.open_branch`` now takes an optional ``ignore_fallbacks``
4996
parameter for controlling opening of stacked branches.
4997
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4999
* ``CommitBuilder`` has a new method, ``record_iter_changes`` which works
5000
in terms of an iter_changes iterator rather than full tree scanning.
5003
* ``DirState`` can now be passed a custom ``SHA1Provider`` object
5004
enabling it to store the SHA1 and stat of the canonical (post
5005
content filtered) form. (Ian Clatworthy)
5007
* New ``assertLength`` method based on one Martin has squirreled away
5008
somewhere. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
5010
* New hook ``BzrDir.pre_open`` which runs before opening ``BzrDir``
5011
objects, allowing better enforcement of the smart server jail when
5012
dealing with stacked branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5014
* New hook ``RioVersionInfoBuilder.revision``, allowing extra entries
5015
to be added to the stanza that is printed for a particular revision.
5018
* New repository method ``refresh_data`` to cause any repository to
5019
make visible data inserted into the repository by a smart server
5020
fetch operation. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5022
* ``register_filter_stack_map`` now takes an optional fallback parameter,
5023
a callable to invoke if a preference has a value not in the map
5024
of filter stacks. This enhancement allows, for example, bzr-svn to
5025
handle existing svn properties that define a list of keywords to be
5026
expanded. (Ian Clatworthy)
5028
* ``RemoteBranchConfig`` will use a new verb ``Branch.set_config_option``
5029
to write config settings to smart servers that support this, saving
5030
5 round trips on the stacked streaming acceptance test.
5031
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5033
* ``RemoteBranch`` now provides ``_get_config`` for access to just the
5034
branch specific configuration from a remote server, which uses the
5035
already existing ``Branch.get_config_file`` smart verb.
5036
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5038
* ``RemoteRepository`` will now negatively cache missing revisions during
5039
``get_parent_map`` while read-locked. Write-locks are unaffected.
5040
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5042
* Removed ``InterRemoteToOther``, ``InterOtherToRemote`` and
5043
``InterPackToRemotePack`` classes, as they are now unnecessary.
5046
* ``RepositoryFormat`` as a new attribute ``fast_deltas`` to indicate
5047
whether the repository can efficiently generate deltas between trees
5048
regardless of tree size. (Robert Collins)
5050
* ``Repository.iter_files_bytes()`` now properly returns an "iterable of
5051
byte strings" (aka 'chunked') for the content. It previously was
5052
returning a plain string, which worked, but performed very poorly when
5053
building a working tree (file.writelines(str) is very inefficient). This
5054
can have a large effect on ``bzr checkout`` times. (John Arbash Meinel)
5056
* selftest now supports a --parallel option, with values of 'fork' or
5057
'subprocess' to run the test suite in parallel. Currently only Linux
5058
machines work, other platforms need patches submitted. (Robert Collins,
5061
* ``tests.run_suite`` has a new parameter ``suite_decorators``, a list of
5062
callables to use to decorate the test suite. Such decorators can add or
5063
remove tests, or even remote the test suite to another machine if
5064
desired. (Robert Collins)
5066
* The smart server verb ``Repository.get_parent_map`` can now include
5067
information about ghosts when the special revision ``include-missing:``
5068
is in the requested parents map list. With this flag, ghosts are
5069
included as ``missing:REVISION_ID``. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5071
* ``_walk_to_common_revisions`` will now batch up at least 50
5072
revisions before calling ``get_parent_map`` on the target,
5073
regardless of ``InterRepository``.

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

Changes From 1.13.1 to 1.13.2
5090
*****************************
5092
A regression was found in the 1.13.1 release. When bzr 1.13.1 and earlier push
5093
a stacked branch they do not take care to push all the parent inventories for
5094
the transferred revisions. This means that a smart server serving that branch
5095
often cannot calculate inventory deltas for the branch (because smart server
5096
does not/cannot open fallback repositories). Prior to 1.13 the server did not
5097
have a verb to stream revisions out of a repository, so that's why this bug has
5103
* Fix for bug 354036 ErrorFromSmartServer - AbsentContentFactory object has no
5104
attribute 'get_bytes_as' exception while pulling from Launchpad
5105
(Jean-Francois Roy, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5107
Changes From 1.13final to 1.13.1
5108
********************************
5110
A couple regessions where found in the 1.13 release. The pyrex-generated C
5111
extensions are missing from the .tar.gz and .zip files. Documentation on how
5112
to generate GNU ChangeLogs is wrong.
5117
* Change ``./bzr``'s ``_script_version`` to match ./bzrlib/__init__.py
5118
version_info. (Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, #345232)
5120
* Distribution archives for 1.13 do not contain generated C extension modules
5121
(Jean-Francois Roy, Bob Tanner, #344465)
5123
* GNU ChangeLog output can now be produced by bzr log --format gnu-changelog is
5124
incorrect (Deejay, Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #343928)
5126
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
5128
Changes From 1.13rc1 to 1.13final
5129
*********************************
5131
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
5132
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
5133
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
5135
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
5136
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
5138
Compatibility Breaks
5139
********************
5141
* ``bzr log --line`` now indicates which revisions are merges with
5142
`[merge]` after the date. Scripts which parse the output of this
5143
command may need to be adjusted.
5144
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
5149
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
5150
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
5151
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
5153
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
5156
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
5157
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
5158
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
5161
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``.
5162
(Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool)
5164
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
5165
(John Arbash Meinel)
5167
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
5168
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
5170
* New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer Vernooij)
5172
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
5173
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
5176
* New API for getting bugs fixed by a revision: Revision.iter_bugs().
5182
* All bzr ``Hooks`` classes are now registered in
5183
``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks``. This removes the separate list from
5184
``bzrlib.tests`` and ensures that all hooks registered there are
5185
correctly isolated by the test suite (previously
5186
``MutableTreeHooks`` were not being isolated correctly). Further,
5187
documentation for hooks is now dynamically generated from the
5188
present HookPoints. ``bzr hooks`` will now also report on all the
5189
hooks present in the ``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks`` registry.
5192
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
5193
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
5195
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
5196
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
5197
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
5199
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
5200
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
5202
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
5203
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
5204
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
5207
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
5208
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
5209
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5211
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
5212
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
5213
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
5214
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
5216
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
5219
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
5220
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
5222
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
5223
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
5225
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
5226
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
5227
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
5229
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
5234
* Allows ``bzr log <FILE>`` to be called in an empty branch without
5235
backtracing. (Vincent Ladeuil, #346431)
5237
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
5238
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
5239
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
5241
* ``bzr cat -r<old> <path>`` doesn't traceback anymore when <path> has a
5242
file id in the working tree different from the one in revision <old>.
5243
(Vincent Ladeuil, #341517, #253806)
5245
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
5246
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
5248
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
5249
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
5252
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
5253
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
5254
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
5256
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
5257
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
5259
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
5260
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
5262
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
5263
(James Westby, #174539)
5265
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
5266
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
5268
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
5269
error branching from old repositories.
5270
(Martin Pool, #321695)
5272
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
5273
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
5275
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
5276
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
5277
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
5278
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5280
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
5281
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko,
5284
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
5285
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
5287
* Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported.
5288
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444)
5290
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
5291
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
5292
when needed. (Vincent Ladeuil)
5294
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
5295
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
5297
* shelve cleans up properly when unversioned files are specified.
5298
(Benoît Pierre, Aaron Bentley)
5303
* Added ``Organizing your workspace`` to the User Guide appendices,
5304
summarizing some common ways of organizing trees, branches and
5305
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
5308
* Hooks can now be self documenting. ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook``
5309
is the entry point for this feature. (Robert Collins)
5311
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.
5312
(Daniel Watkins, #327421, #327425)
5317
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
5318
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
5319
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
5320
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
5321
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
5323
* ``bzrlib.branch.PushResult`` was renamed to
5324
``bzrlib.branch.BranchPushResult``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5326
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
5327
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
5328
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
5329
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
5330
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
5331
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
5333
* ``Inventory.apply_delta`` now raises an AssertionError if a file-id
5334
appears multiple times within the delta. (Ian Clatworthy)
5336
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
5337
"author" argument being deprecated.
5339
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
5341
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
5342
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
5343
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
5344
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
5346
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
5347
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
5348
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
5350
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
5351
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
5352
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
5354
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
5355
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
5357
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
5358
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
5359
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
5360
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
5365
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
5366
free of virtual file system methods.
5367
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5369
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
5370
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
5371
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
5373
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
5374
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
5375
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
5376
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
5377
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
5378
(Robert Collins, #334187)
5380
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
5382
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
5383
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
5385
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
5386
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
5387
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
5388
stream the operation.
5389
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5391
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
5392
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
5394
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
5395
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
5396
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
5397
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
5398
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
5400
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
5401
branch object. (Robert Collins)
5403
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
5404
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
5405
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
5407
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
5408
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
5411
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
5414
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
5415
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
5416
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5418
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
5419
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
5420
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5422
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
5423
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
5424
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5426
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
5427
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
5428
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
5430
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
5431
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
5432
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
5433
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
5434
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
5436
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
5437
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
5438
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
5439
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
5440
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
5441
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
5443
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
5444
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
5445
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
5446
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
5447
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5449
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
5450
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
5452
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
5453
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
5455
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
5456
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
5457
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
5458
to access private data in record to obtain content more
5459
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
5461
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
5462
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.

:1.12rc1: 2009-02-10
5473
This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
5474
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
5475
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
5476
progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and
5477
by showing the rate of network IO.
5479
Changes from RC1 to Final
5480
*************************
5482
* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
5483
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
5485
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
5486
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)
5488
Compatibility Breaks
5489
********************
5491
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
5492
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
5493
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
5494
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
5496
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
5497
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
5498
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
5501
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
5502
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
5503
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
5504
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
5506
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
5507
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
5508
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.
5511
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
5516
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
5517
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
5518
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
5521
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
5522
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
5523
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
5525
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
5526
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
5527
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
5528
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
5529
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
5530
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
5531
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
5532
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
5533
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
5539
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
5542
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
5545
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
5546
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
5547
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
5549
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
5550
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
5551
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
5552
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
5553
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
5555
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
5556
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
5558
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
5559
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
5560
level for better precision.
5563
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
5564
rules. (Marius Kruger)
5566
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
5567
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
5568
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
5570
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
5571
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
5572
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
5575
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
5576
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
5577
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)
5582
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
5584
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
5586
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
5587
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
5588
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
5590
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
5591
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
5592
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
5593
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
5594
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
5595
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
5597
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
5598
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
5600
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
5601
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
5603
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
5604
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
5605
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
5607
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
5608
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
5609
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
5612
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
5613
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
5615
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
5616
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
5617
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
5618
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
5620
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
5621
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
5623
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
5625
* Unshelve now handles deleted paths without crashing. (Robert Collins)
5630
* Improved plugin developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
5635
* ``ProgressBarStack`` is deprecated; instead use
5636
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` to create new progress bars.
5639
* ForeignVcsMapping() now requires a ForeignVcs object as first
5640
argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5642
* ForeignVcsMapping.show_foreign_revid() has been moved to
5643
ForeignVcs. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5645
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` is deprecated in favor of
5646
``read_mergeable_from_url``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
5648
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
5649
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
5650
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
5651
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
5653
* The progress and UI classes have changed; the main APIs remain the
5654
same but code that provides a new UI or progress bar class may
5655
need to be updated. (Martin Pool)
5660
* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb
5661
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
5662
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
5663
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
5664
compile buffers, are such an example).
5667
* New API ``Branch.iter_merge_sorted_revisions()`` that iterates over
5668
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
5671
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
5672
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
5673
efficient way of doing the mapping.
5676
* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
5677
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)
5679
* ``TreeDelta.show()`` now accepts a ``filter`` parameter allowing log
5680
formatters to retrict the output.

:Released: 2009-01-19
5690
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
5691
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
5692
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
5693
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
5694
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
5696
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
5697
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
5700
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
5701
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.
5706
* Fix failing test when CompiledChunksToLines is not available.
5709
* Stacked branches don't repeatedly open their transport connection.

5718
:Released: 2009-01-09
5723
* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
5724
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
5729
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
5730
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
5732
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
5733
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
5734
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
5735
implement other plugins.
5738
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
5744
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
5745
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
5747
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
5748
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
5750
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
5751
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
5752
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
5753
processes which drag in shell extensions.
5756
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
5757
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
5758
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
5759
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
5760
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
5762
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
5763
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
5764
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
5765
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
5766
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)
5771
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
5772
control directory. (#139691)
5774
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
5775
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
5777
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
5778
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
5780
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
5781
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
5782
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
5784
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
5785
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)
5787
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
5788
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
5789
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
5791
* Fix bogus setUp signature in UnavailableFTPServer.
5792
(Gary van der Merwe, #313498)
5794
* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
5797
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
5798
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
5799
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
5801
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
5802
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
5804
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
5805
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
5806
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
5808
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
5809
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
5810
in the appropriate sections.
5811
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
5813
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
5814
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
5815
(John Arbash meinel)
5817
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
5818
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
5820
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
5821
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
5823
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
5824
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
5826
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
5827
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
5828
work better with how it splits its requests.
5829
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
5831
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
5832
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
5833
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
5835
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
5838
* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley)
5840
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
5841
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
5843
* Allow files to be renamed or moved via remove + add-by-id. (Charles
5849
* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
5850
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
5851
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
5857
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
5858
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
5859
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
5860
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5862
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
5863
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
5865
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
5866
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
5867
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
5868
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
5870
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
5871
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
5872
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
5873
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
5878
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
5879
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
5880
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
5882
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
5883
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
5884
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
5885
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
5887
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
5888
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
5889
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
5895
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
5896
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
5897
(John Arbash Meinel)
5899
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
5900
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
5901
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
5902
(John Arbash Meinel)
5904
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
5905
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
5906
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
5907
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
5909
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
5910
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
5911
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
5913
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
5914
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
5915
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
5916
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
5918
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
5919
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
5920
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
5921
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
5922
(John Arbash Meinel)
5924
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
5925
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
5927
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
5928
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
5929
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
5931
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
5932
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
5933
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
5934
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
5936
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
5937
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
5938
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
5939
(John Arbash Meinel)
5941
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
5942
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
5943
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
5944
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
5945
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
5946
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
5947
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
5949
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
5950
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)
5957
:Released: 2008-12-05
5959
Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
5960
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
5961
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
5962
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
5965
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.
5970
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
5971
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
5972
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
5973
(Martin Pool, #303856)
5975
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
5976
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
5977
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
5978
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
5979
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)
5985
:Released: 2008-11-28
5987
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
5988
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
5989
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
5990
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
5991
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
5996
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
5997
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5999
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
6005
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
6006
history just to set the last revision info.
6007
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
6009
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
6010
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
6011
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
6012
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
6014
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
6015
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
6016
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
6017
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
6018
(John Arbash Meinel)
6020
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
6021
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
6023
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
6024
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
6025
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
6026
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
6027
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
6029
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
6030
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
6031
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
6032
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
6037
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
6038
(Martin Pool, #289148)
6040
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
6041
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
6043
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
6044
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
6045
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
6046
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
6048
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
6049
starting with a dotted revno.
6050
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
6052
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
6053
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
6054
(Martin Pool, #288751)
6056
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
6057
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
6058
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
6060
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
6061
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
6062
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
6064
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
6065
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
6066
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
6067
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
6069
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
6070
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
6071
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
6073
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
6074
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
6079
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
6080
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
6081
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
6082
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
6084
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
6085
have changed incompatibly.
6087
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
6088
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
6089
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
6090
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
6091
don't need to change.
6093
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
6094
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
6099
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
6100
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
6102
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)
6108
:Released: 2008-11-07
6110
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
6111
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
6112
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
6113
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
6114
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
6115
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
6120
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
6121
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
6123
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
6125
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` had a bug when requests were out-of-order.
6126
This only triggers some-of-the-time on Knit format repositories.
6127
(John Arbash Meinel, #293746)
6133
:Released: 2008-10-31
6138
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
6139
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
6141
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
6142
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
6143
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
6144
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
6149
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
6150
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
6151
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
6152
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
6153
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
6154
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
6156
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
6157
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
6159
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
6160
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
6161
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
6163
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
6164
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
6165
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
6168
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
6169
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
6171
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
6172
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
6174
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
6175
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
6177
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
6178
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
6179
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
6180
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
6181
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
6182
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
6183
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
6184
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
6185
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
6186
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
6191
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
6192
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
6194
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
6195
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
6197
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
6198
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
6199
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
6201
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
6202
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
6203
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
6205
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
6206
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
6207
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
6209
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
6210
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
6211
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
6212
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
6213
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
6214
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
6216
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
6217
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
6219
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
6220
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
6222
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
6223
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
6224
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
6225
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
6226
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
6228
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
6229
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
6230
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
6231
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
6236
* Improved hook documentation. (Michael Ernst)
6241
* commands.plugins_cmds is now a CommandRegistry, not a dict.
6246
* New AuthenticationConfig.set_credentials method allows easy programmatic
6247
configuration of authetication credentials.
6253
:Released: 2008-10-16
6255
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
6256
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
6257
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
6258
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
6259
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.
6264
* Fix "Must end write group" error when another error occurs during
6265
``bzr push``. (Andrew Bennetts, #230902)
6270
* Some Pyrex versions require the WIN32 macro defined to compile on
6271
that platform. (Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #277481)
6277
:Released: 2008-10-07
6282
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
6283
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
6284
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
6285
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
6286
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
6288
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
6289
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
6291
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
6292
server. (Marius Kruger)
6294
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
6295
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
6296
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
6297
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
6298
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
6299
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
6304
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
6305
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
6306
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
6308
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
6313
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
6314
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
6315
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
6316
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
6318
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
6319
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
6322
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
6323
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
6326
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
6329
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
6331
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
6332
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
6334
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
6335
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
6337
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
6338
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
6339
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
6340
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
6341
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
6342
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
6343
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
6344
operations. (Robert Collins)
6346
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
6348
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
6349
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
6350
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
6355
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
6356
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
6357
(Martin Pool, #279381)
6359
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
6360
repository now preserves the repository format.
6361
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
6363
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
6364
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
6366
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
6367
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
6369
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
6371
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
6373
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
6376
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
6377
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
6378
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
6380
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
6381
is in a different repository than the current one.
6382
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
6384
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
6385
(David Futcher, #242106)
6387
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
6388
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
6390
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
6391
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
6392
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
6393
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
6395
* Trivial documentation fix.
6396
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
6398
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
6399
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
6400
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
6401
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
6406
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
6411
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
6412
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
6413
to use. (Robert Collins)
6415
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
6416
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
6417
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
6419
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
6420
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
6421
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
6422
they want. (Robert Collins)
6427
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
6428
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
6429
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
6431
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
6432
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
6435
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
6438
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
6439
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
6441
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
6447
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
6448
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
6450
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
6451
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
6452
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
6454
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
6455
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
6456
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
6458
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
6459
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
6461
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
6462
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
6464
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
6465
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
6467
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
6468
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
6469
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
6470
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept
6478
:Released: 2008-10-01
6480
No changes from 1.7.1rc1.
6486
:Released: 2008-09-24
6488
This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
6489
file paths when we encounter complex history.
6494
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
6495
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
6496
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
6497
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.
6498
(John Arbash Meinel)
6504
:Released: 2008-09-23
6506
This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
6507
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
6508
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
6509
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
6510
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.
6511
There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.
6516
* Some small updates to the win32 installer. Include localization
6517
files found in plugins, and include the builtin distutils as part of
6518
packaging qbzr. (Mark Hammond)
6524
:Released: 2008-09-17
6526
A few bug fixes from 1.7rc1. The biggest change is a new
6527
``RemoteBranch.get_stacked_on_url`` rpc. This allows clients that are
6528
trying to access a Stacked branch over the smart protocol, to properly
6529
connect to the stacked-on location.
6534
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
6535
repository now preserves the repository format.
6536
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
6538
* Branching from a stacked branch via ``bzr+ssh`` can properly connect
6539
to the stacked-on branch. (Martin Pool, #261315)
6541
* ``bzr init`` no longer re-opens the BzrDir multiple times.
6544
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
6551
:Released: 2008-09-09
6553
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
6554
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
6555
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
6556
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
6557
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
6558
it in a future repository format.
6564
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
6567
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
6568
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
6569
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
6571
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
6572
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
6573
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
6578
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
6579
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
6581
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
6586
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
6587
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
6590
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
6591
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
6593
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
6594
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
6597
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
6598
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
6599
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
6600
(John Arbash Meinel)
6602
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
6603
(Martin Pool, #261315)
6605
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
6606
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
6607
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
6608
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
6609
(John Arbash Meinel)
6611
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
6612
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
6613
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
6614
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
6615
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
6616
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
6617
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
6618
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
6619
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
6620
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
6625
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
6626
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
6628
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
6629
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
6630
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
6632
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
6633
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
6634
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
6636
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
6637
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
6638
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
6639
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
6640
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
6641
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
6643
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
6644
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
6646
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
6647
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
6649
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
6650
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
6651
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
6652
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
6653
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
6654
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #255204)
6656
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
6657
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
6659
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
6660
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
6662
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
6663
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
6664
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
6665
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
6667
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
6668
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
6670
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
6671
assuming the host name is ascii.
6672
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
6674
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
6675
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
6680
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
6685
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
6687
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
6688
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
6689
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
6692
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
6693
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
6695
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
6696
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
6698
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
6699
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
6704
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
6705
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
6706
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
6707
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
6709
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
6713
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
6714
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
6715
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
6717
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
6723
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
6724
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
6727
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
6728
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
6729
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
6730
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
6731
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6733
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
6734
is unknown in both source and target.
6735
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
6737
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
6738
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
6739
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
6740
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
6742
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
6743
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
6744
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
6745
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
6751
:Released: 2008-09-05
6753
A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
6754
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
6755
and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
6761
:Released: 2008-09-03
6766
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
6767
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
6768
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
6769
(John Arbash Meinel, #264321)
6775
:Released: 2008-08-29
6777
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
6778
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
6779
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
6780
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
6781
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
6782
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
6783
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
6784
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
6785
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
6786
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
6787
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
6788
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
6793
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
6794
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
6795
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
6796
start of the string (causing more copies).
6797
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
6798
especially for projects with large files.
6799
(John Arbash Meinel)
6801
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
6802
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
6803
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
6804
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
6805
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
6807
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
6808
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
6809
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
6810
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
6811
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.

Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
6821
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
6822
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
6823
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
6824
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
6825
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
6826
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
6827
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
6828
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
6834
:Released: 2008-08-19
6839
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
6840
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
6841
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
6842
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
6843
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
6849
:Released: 2008-08-18
6854
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
6855
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
6856
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
6862
:Released: 2008-08-14
6867
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
6868
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
6874
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
6875
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
6876
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
6882
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
6883
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
6884
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
6886
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
6887
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
6888
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
6889
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
6890
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
6891
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
6892
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
6898
:Released: 2008-08-13
6900
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
6906
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
6907
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
6909
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
6910
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
6913
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
6914
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
6915
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
6916
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
6917
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
6919
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
6920
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
6922
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
6923
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
6925
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
6926
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
6928
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
6929
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
6930
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
6931
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
6932
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
6933
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
6939
:Released: 2008-08-06
6941
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
6942
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
6943
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
6944
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
6945
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
6950
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
6951
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
6952
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
6957
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
6958
check. (Daniel Watkins)
6960
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
6961
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
6963
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
6964
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
6965
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6967
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
6970
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
6971
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
6972
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
6973
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
6974
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
6975
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
6976
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
6978
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
6979
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
6980
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
6985
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
6986
physical repository boundaries.
6987
(Martin Pool, #252428)
6989
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
6990
(Martin Pool, #206258)
6992
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
6993
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
6996
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
6999
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
7000
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
7001
that Python is running from.
7002
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
7004
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
7005
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
7006
(Robert Collins, #150438)
7008
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
7009
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
7011
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
7012
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
7013
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
7015
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
7016
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
7018
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
7019
(James Westby, #248448)
7024
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
7025
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
7026
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
7029
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
7030
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
7033
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
7034
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
7035
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
7036
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
7037
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
7038
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
7041
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
7042
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
7044
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
7045
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
7046
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
7047
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
7048
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
7049
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
7054
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
7055
putting together a real history without having to create a full
7056
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
7057
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
7058
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
7059
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
7061
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
7062
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
7063
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
7065
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
7068
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
7069
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
7071
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
7078
:Released: 2008-07-17
7080
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
7081
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
7082
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
7083
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
7089
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
7090
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
7091
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
7093
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
7094
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
7095
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
7096
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
7097
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
7100
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
7102
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
7103
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
7104
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
7110
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
7111
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
7114
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
7115
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
7116
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
7117
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
7119
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
7120
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
7121
(Christophe Troestler)
7123
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
7124
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
7126
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
7127
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
7128
faster. The new request method name is
7129
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
7134
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
7135
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
7136
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
7137
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
7138
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
7140
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
7141
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
7143
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
7144
requires a branch to be present.
7145
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
7147
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
7149
(Martin Pool, #205230)
7151
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
7152
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
7153
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
7154
(Martin Pool, #240161)
7156
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
7157
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
7159
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
7161
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
7163
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
7164
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
7165
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
7166
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
7167
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
7169
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
7170
(Martin Pool, #172870)
7172
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
7173
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
7175
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
7177
(Matt McClure, #209281)
7179
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
7180
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
7182
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
7183
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
7188
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
7191
* Updated developer documentation.
7197
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
7198
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
7200
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
7201
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
7202
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
7203
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
7208
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
7209
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
7210
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
7211
Repository docstring for more details.
7214
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
7215
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
7216
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
7218
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
7219
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
7222
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
7223
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
7224
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
7225
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
7230
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
7231
(Alexander Belchenko)
7233
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
7234
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
7235
containing a given location.
7238
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
7239
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
7240
storage. (Robert Collins)
7242
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
7245
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
7246
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
7253
:Released: 2008-06-10
7255
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
7256
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
7257
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
7263
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
7264
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
7265
reading from the repository.)
7266
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
7268
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
7269
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
7271
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
7272
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
7275
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
7276
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
7277
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
7279
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
7280
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
7281
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
7283
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
7284
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
7286
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
7287
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
7288
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
7289
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
7294
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
7296
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
7297
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
7298
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
7301
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
7302
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
7307
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
7312
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
7313
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
7318
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
7319
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
7320
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
7321
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
7322
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
7324
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
7325
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
7330
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
7331
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
7333
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
7334
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
7339
:Released: 2008-06-02
7341
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
7342
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
7343
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
7344
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
7345
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
7346
and future extensions.
7349
Notes When Upgrading
7350
********************
7352
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
7353
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
7354
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
7355
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
7356
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
7357
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
7358
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
7359
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
7364
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
7365
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
7366
(John Arbash Meinel)
7371
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
7372
load. (James Westby)
7377
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
7378
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
7379
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
7380
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
7382
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
7383
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
7384
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
7386
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
7387
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
7389
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
7390
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
7391
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
7393
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
7394
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
7395
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
7396
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
7397
step closer to not using full revision history.
7398
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
7403
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
7404
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
7406
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
7407
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
7409
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
7410
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
7412
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
7413
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
7414
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
7415
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
7417
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
7418
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
7419
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
7420
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
7422
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
7423
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
7424
in use by another process.
7427
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
7428
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
7429
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
7430
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
7432
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
7433
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
7435
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
7436
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
7437
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
7439
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
7440
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
7441
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
7443
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
7445
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
7447
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
7448
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
7450
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
7451
under vim on Mac OS X.
7452
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
7454
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
7455
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
7460
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
7461
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
7463
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
7464
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
7467
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
7468
and about use of Python reprs.
7469
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
7471
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
7476
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
7479
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
7480
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
7482
* New helper function for splitting test suites
7483
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
7488
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
7489
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
7490
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
7491
(John Arbash Meinel)
7496
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
7497
instead. (Martin Pool)
7499
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
7500
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
7501
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
7502
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
7504
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
7505
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
7506
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
7507
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
7508
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
7510
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
7511
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
7512
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
7513
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
7514
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
7515
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
7517
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
7518
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
7521
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
7522
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
7525
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
7526
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
7527
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
7528
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
7530
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
7531
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
7532
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
7534
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
7535
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
7536
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
7537
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
7538
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
7541
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
7542
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
7543
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
7544
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
7547
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
7548
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
7549
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
7550
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
7551
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
7553
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
7560
:Released: 2008-05-16
7562
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
7563
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
7564
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
7569
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
7570
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
7571
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
7576
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
7577
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
7584
:Released: 2008-05-09
7589
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
7590
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
7591
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
7592
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
7597
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
7598
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
7600
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
7601
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
7603
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
7609
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
7610
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
7612
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
7613
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
7615
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
7616
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
7617
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
7619
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
7620
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
7621
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
7623
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
7626
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
7627
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
7629
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
7630
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
7632
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
7633
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
7635
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
7636
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
7638
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
7639
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
7640
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
7642
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
7643
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
7645
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
7646
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
7648
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
7649
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
7650
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
7651
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
7653
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
7654
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
7657
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
7658
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
7659
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
7661
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
7662
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
7663
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
7664
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
7665
every revision each side had in common.
7666
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
7668
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
7669
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
7671
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
7672
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
7673
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
7674
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
7679
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
7680
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
7681
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
7682
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
7684
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
7686
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
7688
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
7689
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
7694
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
7695
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
7696
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
7698
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
7699
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the -D
7700
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
7701
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
7703
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
7704
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
7706
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
7707
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
7708
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
7709
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
7711
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
7712
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
7713
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
7714
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
7719
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
7720
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
7721
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
7723
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
7725
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
7726
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
7728
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
7729
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
7731
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
7732
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
7737
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
7738
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
7739
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
7741
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
7742
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
7743
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
7746
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
7747
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
7750
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.
7757
:Released: 2008-04-28
7759
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
7760
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
7761
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
7762
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
7763
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
7764
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
7765
and faster performance.
7770
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
7771
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
7772
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.

7784
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
7785
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
7786
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
7788
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
7789
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
7791
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
7792
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
7794
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
7795
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
7796
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
7797

(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
7805
:Released: 2008-04-11
7810
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
7812
* On GNU/Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
7813
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
7815
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
7816
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
7817
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
7819
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
7820
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
7821
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
7822
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
7823
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
7824
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
7827
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
7828
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
7829
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
7830
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
7835
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
7837
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
7838
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
7839
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
7841
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
7842
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
7843
See the User Reference for signature details.
7844
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
7846
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
7847
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
7852
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
7853
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
7854
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
7855
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
7857
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
7858
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
7860
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
7861
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
7862
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
7865
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
7868
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
7869
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
7870
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
7872
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
7875
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
7876
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
7878
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
7879
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
7881
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
7882
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
7883
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
7885
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
7886
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
7887
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
7888
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
7889
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
7891
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
7892
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
7894
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
7895
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
7900
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
7901
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
7902
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
7903
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
7904
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
7905
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
7907
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
7908
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
7910
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
7911
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
7912
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
7914
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
7915
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
7917
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
7918
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
7919
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
7920
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
7922
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
7923
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
7924
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
7925
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
7926
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
7928
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
7930
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
7931
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
7933
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
7935
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
7936
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
7938
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
7939
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
7944
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
7946
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
7948
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
7950
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
7955
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
7956
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
7957
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
7959
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
7960
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
7961
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
7962
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
7964
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
7965
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
7966
release. (James Westby)
7968
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
7971
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
7973
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
7974
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
7976
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
7977
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
7979
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
7980
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
7982
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
7983
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
7984
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
7986
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
7987
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
7988
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
7989
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
7991
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
7992
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
7993
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
7994
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
7996
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
7997
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
7998
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
7999
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
8000
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
8001
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
8003
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
8004
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
8005
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
8007
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
8008
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
8010
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
8011
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
8014
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
8015
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
8017
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
8018
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
8020
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
8021
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
8023
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
8024
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
8025
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
8027
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
8028
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
8029
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
8030
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
8031
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
8032
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
8037
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
8038
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
8039
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
8040
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
8042
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
8043
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
8044
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
8045
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
8049
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
8050
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
8053
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
8054
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
8056
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
8058
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
8059
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
8060
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
8065
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
8067
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
8070
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
8071
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
8072
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
8073
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
8074
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
8075
(Martin Pool, #109520)
8077
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
8078
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
8080
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
8081
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
8082
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
8083
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
8085
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
8086
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
8088
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
8089
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
8139
********************
8141
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
8142
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
8147
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
8148
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
8149
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
8150
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
8153
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
8154
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
8155
filename (on Unix) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
8156
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
8157
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
8158
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
8160
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
8161
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
8162
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
8163
(Alexander Belchenko)
8165
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
8167
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
8168
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
8173
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
8174
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
8176
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
8177
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
8183
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
8185
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
8187
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
8188
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
8189
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
8191
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
8192
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
8194
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
8195
to. (Daniel Watkins)
8197
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
8198
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
8199
(Alexander Belchenko)
8201
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
8202
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
8203
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
8204
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
8206
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
8209
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
8210
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
8211
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
8212
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
8213
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
8218
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
8219
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
8220
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
8221
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
8223
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
8224
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
8226
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
8227
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
8229
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
8230
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
8231
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
8233
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
8234
(#198793, John Ferlito)
8236
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
8239
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
8240
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
8242
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
8244
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
8246
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
8247
symlinks (James Henstridge)
8249
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
8250
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
8252
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
8253
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
8255
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
8256
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
8258
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
8259
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
8261
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
8262
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
8267
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
8268
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
8273
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
8274
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
8275
(Alexander Belchenko)
8280
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
8282
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
8283
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
8289
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
8290
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
8291
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
8293
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
8294
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
8295
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
8296
(Alexander Belchenko)
8298
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
8299
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
8300
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
8301
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
8303
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
8304
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
8305
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
8308
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
8309
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
8310
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
8312
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
8313
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
8314
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
8316
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
8317
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
8318
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
8319
format. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
8339
********************
8341
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
8342
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
8343
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
8344
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
8345
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
8351
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
8352
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
8354
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
8355
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
8356
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
8358
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
8359
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
8360
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
8361
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
8362
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
8363
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
8369
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
8370
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
8372
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
8373
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
8374
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
8377
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
8378
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
8379
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
8380
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
8381
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
8383
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
8384
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
8385
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
8386
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
8387
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
8388
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
8389
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
8390
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
8395
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
8396
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
8398
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
8399
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
8401
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
8402
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
8404
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
8405
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
8406
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
8408
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
8409
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
8410
(John Arbash Meinel)
8415
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
8416
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
8418
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
8419
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
8421
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
8422
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
8424
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
8425
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
8426
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
8428
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
8429
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
8430
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
8432
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
8433
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
8435
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
8436
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
8437
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
8438
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
8439
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
8441
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
8443
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
8444
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
8447
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
8448
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
8450
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
8451
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
8453
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
8454
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123363)
8456
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
8457
more characters which should be considered valid.
8458
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
8460
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
8461
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
8463
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
8464
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
8469
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
8470
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
8472
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
8473
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
8479
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
8480
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
8486
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
8487
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
8488
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
8490
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
8491
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
8492
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
8494
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
8495
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
8496
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
8497
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
8499
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
8501
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
8502
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
8503
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
8504
server. (Robert Collins)
8506
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
8507
operate. (Robert Collins)
8509
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
8510
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
8511
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
8513
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
8514
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
8515
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
8516
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
8518
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
8519
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
8521
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
8522
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
8523
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
8525
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
8526
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
8528
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
8529
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
8531
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
8532
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
8533
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
8534
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

(no changes from 1.1rc1)
8547
:Released: 2008-01-05
8552
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
8553
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
8554
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
8555
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
8557
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
8558
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
8559
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
8560
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
8565
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
8568
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
8571
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
8572
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
8577
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
8580
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
8581
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
8582
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
8584
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
8586
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
8587
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
8588
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
8589
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
8590
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
8592
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
8593
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
8594
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
8596
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
8597
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
8599
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
8602
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
8604
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
8606
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
8609
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
8610
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
8615
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
8616
(Martin Pool, #180208)
8618
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
8619
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
8621
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
8624
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
8625
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
8627
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
8628
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
8630
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
8631
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
8633
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
8634
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
8636
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
8637
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
8638
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
8640
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
8641
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
8643
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
8644
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
8647
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
8649
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
8650
user:pass embedded in the urls.
8651
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
8653
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
8654
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
8656
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
8659
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
8662
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
8663
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
8665
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
8668
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
8669
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
8672
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
8673
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
8674
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
8679
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
8682
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
8683
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
8684
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
8685
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
8686
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
8687
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
8689
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
8694
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
8697
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
8698
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
8700
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
8702
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
8703
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
8704
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
8707
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
8708
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
8710
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
8719
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
8720
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
8721
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
8723
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
8724
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
8727
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
8728
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
8730
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
8731
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
8733
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
8734
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
8736
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
8737
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
8738
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
8740
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
8741
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
8743
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
8744
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
8746
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
8747
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
8750
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
8751
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
8753
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
8754
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
8767
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
8770
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
8772
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
8773
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.

:Released: 2007-12-11
8785
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
8786
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
8787
by mail to the mailing list.
8793
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
8795
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
8796
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
8797
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
8798
feedback but also incur more latency.
8799
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
8801
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
8802
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
8807
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
8809
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
8815
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
8816
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
8817
wraps its output in a StringIO.
8824
:Released: 2007-12-07
8829
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
8831
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
8834
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
8837
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
8838
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
8839
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
8840
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
8842
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
8845
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
8846
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
8848
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
8849
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
8850
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
8852
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
8853
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
8854
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
8855
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
8856
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
8857
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
8858
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
8859
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
8860
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
8865
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
8868
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
8873
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
8874
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
8876
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
8878
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
8880
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
8881
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are

(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
8885
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.

(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)

* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
8889
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)

* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
8895
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)

Notes When Upgrading
8904
********************
8906
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
8907
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
8908
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
8909
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
8911
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
8912
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
8914
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
8915
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
8917
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
8918
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
8919
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
8920
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
8921
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
8922
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
8923
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
8924
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
8925
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
8926
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
8927
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
8928
from any tree without problems.
8929
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
8934
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
8935
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
8936
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
8938
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
8939
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
8945
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
8946
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
8947
supported transports.
8950
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
8951
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
8952
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
8954
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
8955
(Robert Collins, #154173)
8957
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
8958
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
8959
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
8960
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
8962
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
8963
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
8968
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
8969
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
8970
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
8971
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
8973
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
8974
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
8975
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
8976
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
8978
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
8979
(Robert Collins, #88319)
8981
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
8982
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
8984
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
8985
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
8987
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
8988
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
8994
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
8997
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
8998
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
9001
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
9002
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
9003
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
9004
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
9006
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
9007
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
9008
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
9009
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
9017
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
9018
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
9020
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
9021
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
9023
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
9024
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
9026
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
9027
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
9029
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
9030
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
9032
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
9033
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
9035
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
9036
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
9038
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
9041
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
9042
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
9044
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
9045
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
9046
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
9048
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
9049
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
9051
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
9052
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
9054
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
9055
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
9057
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
9058
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
9060
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
9061
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
9062
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
9063
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
9065
(Martin Pool, #164637)
9067
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
9068
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
9069
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
9071
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
9072
(Robert Collins, #161240)
9074
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
9076
(Martin Pool, #164443)
9078
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
9079
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
9081
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
9082
specify a port in urls.
9083
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
9085
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
9086
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
9088
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
9089
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
9091
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
9092
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
9094
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
9095
(Robert Collins, #153789)
9097
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
9098
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
9099
(Robert Collins, #165304).
9101
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
9103
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
9104
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
9106
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
9109
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
9110
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
9112
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
9113
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
9115
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
9116
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
9117
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
9119
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
9120
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
9122
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
9123
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
9124
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
9125
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
9127
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
9128
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
9130
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
9131
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
9132
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
9134
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
9135
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
9137
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
9138
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
9140
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
9141
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
9146
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
9147
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
9149
* The return value of
9150
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
9151
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
9152
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
9153
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
9155
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
9158
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
9159
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
9166
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
9167
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
9168
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
9171
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
9172
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
9174
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
9180
:Released: 2007-11-05
9185
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
9191
:Released: 2007-10-29
9196
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
9197
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
9199
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
9200
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
9201
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
9202
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
9203
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
9204
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
9205
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
9206
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
9207
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
9208
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
9209
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
9210
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
9216
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
9217
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
9218
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
9219
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
9220
commands. (Robert Collins)
9222
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
9223
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
9224
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
9227
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
9229
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
9230
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
9232
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
9233
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
9236
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
9237
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
9238
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
9243
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
9244
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
9246
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
9247
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
9249
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
9250
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
9251
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
9252
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
9254
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
9257
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
9258
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
9259
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
9260
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
9262
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
9263
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
9265
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
9266
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
9268
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
9269
the contents. (Robert Collins)
9271
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
9272
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
9277
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
9278
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
9280
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
9281
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
9283
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
9284
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
9286
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
9287
(Martin Pool, #63894)
9289
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
9290
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
9295
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
9297
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
9303
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
9304
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
9305
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
9307
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
9308
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
9310
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
9311
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
9313
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
9314
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
9315
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
9316
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
9318
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
9319
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
9320
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
9321
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
9322
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
9324
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
9325
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
9327
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
9329
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
9331
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
9332
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
9334
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
9335
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
9337
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
9338
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
9340
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
9341
contains a symbolic link.
9342
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
9344
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
9345
(James Westby, #140615)
9347
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
9348
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
9349
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
9351
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
9352
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
9353
(Martin Pool, #144633)
9355
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
9357
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
9358
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
9360
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
9362
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
9364
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
9365
directory to detect leaking tests.
9366
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
9368
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
9369
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
9370
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
9372
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
9375
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
9376
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
9378
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
9384
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
9385
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
9387
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
9388
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
9389
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
9391
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
9392
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
9393
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
9395
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
9396
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
9398
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
9399
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
9401
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
9402
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
9405
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
9406
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
9408
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
9409
class that needs it.
9412
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
9413
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
9415
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
9416
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
9417
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
9419
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
9420
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
9421
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
9424
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
9425
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
9426
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
9427
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
9433
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
9434
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
9435
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
9437
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
9438
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
9439
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
9440
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
9442
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
9443
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
9446
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
9447
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
9448
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
9450
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
9451
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
9452
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
9454
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
9455
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
9457
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
9458
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
9459
to complete. (Robert Collins)
9461
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
9462
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
9464
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
9465
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
9466
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
9468
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
9469
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
9470
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
9472
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
9473
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
9474
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
9475
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
9477
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
9478
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
9479
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
9480
returned. (Robert Collins)
9482
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
9483
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
9485
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
9486
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
9487
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
9488
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
9491
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
9492
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
9497
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
9498
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
9500
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
9501
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
9502
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
9503
makes this behavior available to other users.
9506
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
9507
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
9513
:Released: 2007-09-26
9518
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
9519
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
9520
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
9522
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
9524
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
9525
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
9526
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
9527
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
9529
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
9530
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
9537
:Released: 2007-09-11
9539
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
9540
in bzrlib/remote.py.
9546
:Released: 2007-09-11
9551
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
9552
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
9553
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
9554
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
9557
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
9558
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
9559
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
9565
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
9566
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
9567
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
9570
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
9571
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
9572
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
9574
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
9575
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
9576
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
9578
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
9579
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
9581
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
9582
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
9583
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
9584
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
9585
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
9586
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
9587
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
9588
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
9589
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
9590
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
9592
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
9593
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
9595
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
9596
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
9597
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
9602
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
9603
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
9605
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
9606
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
9607
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
9609
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
9610
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
9612
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
9613
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
9615
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
9618
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
9619
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
9621
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
9622
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
9624
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
9625
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
9627
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
9628
(Blake Winton, #129299)
9630
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
9632
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
9635
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
9636
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
9637
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
9638
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
9640
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
9642
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
9643
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
9646
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
9647
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
9649
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
9650
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
9653
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
9654
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
9656
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
9657
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
9659
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
9660
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
9661
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
9662
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
9663
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
9664
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
9665
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
9667
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
9668
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
9670
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
9671
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
9673
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
9674
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
9676
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
9677
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
9679
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
9681
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
9683
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
9684
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
9686
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
9687
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
9688
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
9690
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
9691
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
9692
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
9697
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
9698
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
9700
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
9703
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
9706
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
9707
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
9709
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
9711
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
9712
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
9714
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
9715
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
9717
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
9718
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
9719
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
9720
space). (Robert Collins)
9722
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
9723
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
9726
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
9727
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
9729
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
9730
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
9732
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
9733
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
9734
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
9735
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
9737
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
9738
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
9739
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
9742
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
9745
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
9746
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
9747
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
9749
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
9750
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
9751
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
9752
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
9753
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
9758
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
9759
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
9761
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
9762
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
9763
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
9764
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
9765
affected. (Robert Collins)
9767
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
9768
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
9769
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
9772
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
9773
previous release. (Martin Pool)
9778
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
9779
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
9781
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
9782
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
9784
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
9785
previous release. (Martin Pool)
9787
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
9790
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
9791
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
9796
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
9797
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
9798
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
9799
its version information. (Robert Collins)
9801
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
9802
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
9804
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
9805
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
9806
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
9807
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
9809
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
9810
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
9811
present. (Robert Collins)
9813
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
9814
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
9815
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
9816
API. (Robert Collins)
9818
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
9819
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
9822
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
9823
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
9825
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
9826
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
9827
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
9828
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
9829
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
9830
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
9832
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
9833
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
9834
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
9836
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
9837
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
9838
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
9839
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
9842
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
9845
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
9846
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
9847
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
9848
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
9849
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
9850
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
9851
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
9853
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
9854
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
9855
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
9856
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
9858
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
9859
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
9860
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
9861
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
9862
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
9863
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
9865
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
9866
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
9867
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
9869
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
9870
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
9876
:Released: 2007-08-28
9881
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
9882
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
9883
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
9884
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
9885
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
9886
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
9887
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
9888
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
9894
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
9895
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
9896
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
9902
:Released: 2007-08-14
9907
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
9908
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
9909
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
9910
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
9911
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
9913
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
9914
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
9916
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
9918
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
9920
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
9921
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
9924
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
9925
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
9928
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
9931
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
9932
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
9934
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
9935
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
9937
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
9938
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
9940
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
9941
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
9943
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
9944
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
9946
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
9952
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
9953
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
9955
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
9956
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
9958
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
9959
the repository (Robert Collins)
9961
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
9962
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
9963
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
9964
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
9965
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
9967
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
9968
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
9970
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
9971
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
9972
(John Arbash Meinel)
9974
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
9975
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
9976
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
9978
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
9979
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
9980
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
9981
(John Arbash Meinel)
9983
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
9984
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
9987
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
9988
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
9990
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
9993
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
9995
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
9997
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
9998
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
10000
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
10001
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
10004
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
10005
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
10006
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
10007
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
10009
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
10010
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
10011
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
10013
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
10014
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
10015
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
10017
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
10018
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
10020
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
10021
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
10022
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
10023
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
10024
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
10025
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
10028
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
10029
(Alexander Belchenko)
10031
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
10032
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
10034
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
10035
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
10037
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
10039
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
10040
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
10045
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
10046
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
10047
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
10048
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
10050
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
10052
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
10055
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
10056
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
10057
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
10058
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
10059
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
10060
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
10065
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
10066
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
10067
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
10068
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
10070
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
10071
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
10072
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
10073
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
10074
tests have been refactored too.
10077
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
10078
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
10079
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
10083
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
10084
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
10085
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
10087
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
10088
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
10089
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
10090
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
10091
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
10092
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
10093
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
10095
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
10096
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
10097
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
10098
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
10099
(John Arbash Meinel)
10101
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
10102
functionality for testing.
10104
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
10106
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
10107
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
10109
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
10111
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
10114
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
10115
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
10117
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
10118
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
10119
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
10121
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
10124
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
10125
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
10127
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
10128
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
10129
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
10130
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
10132
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
10133
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
10135
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
10136
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
10137
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
10139
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
10142
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
10143
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
10144
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
10145
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
10146
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
10147
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
10149
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
10150
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
10151
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
10152
many files. (Robert Collins)
10154
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
10155
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
10156
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
10157
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
10162
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
10163
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
10164
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
10166
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
10167
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
10169
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
10170
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
10171
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
10177
:Released: 2007-07-17
10182
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
10188
:Released: 2007-07-10
10193
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
10194
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
10196
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
10197
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
10198
(James Westby, #122656)
10200
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
10201
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
10203
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
10204
authentication header.
10205
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
10207
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
10209
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
10210
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
10212
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
10214
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
10215
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
10217
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
10218
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
10219
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
10221
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
10222
individually and as part of revision ranges.
10223
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
10225
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
10226
(Martin Pool, #109169)
10228
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
10229
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
10231
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
10232
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
10234
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
10236
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
10241
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
10242
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
10243
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
10244
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
10245
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
10246
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
10248
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
10249
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
10250
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
10252
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
10255
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
10256
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
10258
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
10259
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
10261
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
10262
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
10264
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
10265
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
10266
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
10267
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
10268
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
10270
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
10271
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
10273
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
10274
can be slow it is useful feedback).
10275
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
10277
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
10278
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
10280
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
10282
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
10283
output. (Aaron Bentley)
10285
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
10286
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
10289
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
10292
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
10293
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
10295
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
10296
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
10298
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
10299
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
10301
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
10303
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
10304
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
10306
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
10312
* Testing cleanups -
10313
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
10314
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
10315
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
10316
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
10317
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
10318
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
10319
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
10320
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
10321
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
10322
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
10323
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
10324
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
10325
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
10326
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
10327
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
10328
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
10329
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
10332
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
10334
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
10335
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
10336
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
10338
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
10339
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
10341
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
10342
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
10344
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
10346
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
10347
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
10348
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
10349
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
10350
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
10351
same location. (Robert Collins)
10356
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
10358
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
10360
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
10362
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
10365
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
10368
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
10369
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
10370
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
10372
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
10374
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
10375
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
10376
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
10378
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
10379
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
10381
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
10382
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
10383
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
10385
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
10386
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
10387
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
10389
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
10390
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
10391
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
10393
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
10394
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
10397
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
10398
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
10400
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
10401
(Alexander Belchenko)
10406
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
10407
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
10408
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
10409
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
10411
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
10412
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
10413
testing. (Robert Collins)
10415
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
10416
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
10418
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
10419
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
10420
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
10421
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
10422
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
10423
attribute during the test parameterisation in
10424
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
10426
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
10427
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
10428
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
10429
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
10431
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
10432
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
10434
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
10435
avoid useless cloning.

Notes When Upgrading
10460
********************
10462
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
10463
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
10464
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
10465
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
10466
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
10467
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
10468
and unlock() like so::
10470
work_tree.lock_read()
10472
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
10478
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
10479
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
10481
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
10482
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
10483
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
10485
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
10486
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
10487
too. (Robert Collins)
10492
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
10493
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
10496
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
10497
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
10499
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
10500
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
10502
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
10503
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
10504
understanding what changes have occurred
10505
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
10507
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
10508
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
10509
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
10511
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
10512
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
10513
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
10514
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
10516
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
10522
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
10523
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
10524
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
10525
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
10526
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
10528
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
10529
based on split paths, not just string paths.
10530
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
10532
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
10533
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
10535
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
10537
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
10539
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
10540
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
10542
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
10543
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
10545
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
10546
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
10548
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
10549
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
10551
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
10552
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
10554
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
10555
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
10556
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
10561
:Released: 2007-05-07
10566
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
10567
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
10568
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
10569
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
10570
(John Arbash Meinel, #111127)
10572
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
10573
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
10574
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
10576
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
10577
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
10582
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
10583
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
10584
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
10586
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
10587
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
10588
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
10589
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
10594
:Released: 2007-04-30
10599
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
10600
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
10601
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
10602
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
10604
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
10605
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
10606
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
10608
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
10609
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
10611
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
10612
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
10614
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
10615
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

:Released: 2007-04-26
10622
Notes When Upgrading
10623
********************
10625
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
10626
it could be recovered again.
10627
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
10628
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
10629
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
10631
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
10633
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
10634
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
10639
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
10640
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
10642
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
10643
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
10644
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
10645
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
10647
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
10648
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
10650
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
10651
tests with names that match that regular expression.
10652
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
10654
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
10655
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
10656
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
10658
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
10659
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
10660
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
10662
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
10663
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
10666
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
10669
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
10670
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
10671
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
10672
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
10674
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
10677
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
10678
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
10679
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
10682
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
10683
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
10685
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
10686
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
10688
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
10689
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
10690
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
10691
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
10694
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
10695
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
10697
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
10698
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
10700
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
10701
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
10702
(Robert Collins, #107125).
10704
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
10705
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
10706
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
10708
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
10709
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
10710
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
10712
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
10713
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
10714
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
10715
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
10717
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
10718
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
10719
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
10720
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
10722
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
10723
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
10724
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
10725
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
10726
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
10727
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
10728
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
10729
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
10736
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
10737
code paths. (Robert Collins)
10739
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
10740
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
10741
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
10742
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
10743
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
10745
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
10746
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
10748
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
10749
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
10751
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
10752
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
10754
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
10755
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
10757
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
10758
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
10759
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
10762
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
10763
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
10764
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
10765
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
10766
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
10769
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
10770
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
10771
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
10773
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
10774
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
10777
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
10778
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
10779
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
10782
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
10783
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
10784
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
10785
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
10786
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
10788
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
10789
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
10790
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
10791
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
10793
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
10794
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
10796
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
10797
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
10798
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
10799
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
10800
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
10801
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
10803
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
10804
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
10806
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
10807
help. (Robert Collins)
10809
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
10810
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
10812
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
10813
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
10814
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
10815
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
10816
(John Arbash Meinel)
10818
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
10819
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
10820
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
10821
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
10822
useful. (Robert Collins)
10824
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
10830
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
10831
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
10833
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
10834
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
10836
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
10837
properly and is no longer beneficial.
10838
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
10840
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
10843
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
10844
the file, and does it faster.
10845
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
10847
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
10848
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
10849
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
10851
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
10852
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
10853
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
10854
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
10856
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
10857
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
10858
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
10859
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
10861
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
10862
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
10864
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
10865
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
10866
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
10867
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
10870
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
10872
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
10873
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
10875
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
10876
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
10878
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
10879
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
10880
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
10881
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
10885
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
10886
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
10891
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
10892
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
10893
in running it. (Robert Collins)
10895
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
10896
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
10898
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
10899
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
10900
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
10901
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
10902
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
10903
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
10904
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
10905
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
10907
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
10908
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
10909
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
10911
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
10912
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
10913
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
10914
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
10915
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
10917
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
10919
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
10920
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
10921
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
10923
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
10924
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
10930
:Released: 2007-04-01
10935
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
10938
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
10939
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
10945
:Released: 2007-03-26
10950
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
10951
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
10957
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
10958
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
10959
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
10960
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
10961
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
10962
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
10963
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
10964
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
10970
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
10971
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
10972
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
10974
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
10975
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
10978
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
10979
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
10980
(John Arbash Meinel)
10982
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
10983
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
10984
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
10985
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
10986
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
10991
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
10994
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
10995
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
10997
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
10998
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
11000
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
11001
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
11002
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
11004
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
11005
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
11007
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
11008
last-changed-revision for directories. The
11009
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
11010
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
11011
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
11013
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
11014
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
11015
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
11017
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

Notes When Upgrading
11026
********************
11028
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
11029
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
11030
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
11035
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
11036
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
11038
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
11039
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
11041
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
11043
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
11044
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
11046
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
11047
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
11052
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
11058
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
11059
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
11060
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
11061
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
11063
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
11064
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
11066
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
11067
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
11069
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
11072
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
11073
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
11079
:Released: 2007-03-07
11084
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
11085
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
11086
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
11087
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
11088
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
11089
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
11091
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
11092
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
11093
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
11094
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
11095
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
11096
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
11098
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
11100
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
11101
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
11102
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
11103
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
11104
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
11105
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
11106
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
11107
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
11112
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
11113
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
11115
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
11116
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
11117
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
11118
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
11120
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
11121
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
11122
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
11123
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
11124
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
11126
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
11129
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
11132
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
11135
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
11136
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
11139
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
11142
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
11143
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
11145
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
11146
directory. (Martin Pool)
11148
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
11149
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
11150
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
11151
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
11153
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
11154
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
11155
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
11156
in docs/configuration.txt.
11158
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
11159
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
11162
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
11163
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
11164
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
11165
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
11166
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
11167
repositories. (Martin Pool)
11169
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
11170
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
11172
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
11173
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
11175
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
11181
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
11182
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
11183
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
11184
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
11185
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
11186
(John Arbash Meinel)
11188
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
11189
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
11192
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
11193
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
11194
(John Arbash Meinel)
11196
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
11197
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
11198
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
11199
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
11200
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
11201
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
11203
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
11204
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
11205
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
11207
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
11208
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
11209
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
11210
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
11212
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
11214
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
11215
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
11216
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
11217
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
11219
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
11220
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
11221
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
11222
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
11224
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
11225
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
11226
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
11228
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
11229
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
11230
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
11232
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
11233
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
11234
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
11235
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
11237
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
11238
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
11239
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
11241
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
11242
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
11243
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
11245
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
11246
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
11247
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
11248
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
11249
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
11250
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
11251
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
11252
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
11253
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
11254
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
11255
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
11260
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
11261
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
11262
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
11264
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
11267
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
11268
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
11269
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
11270
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
11272
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
11273
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
11276
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
11277
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
11279
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
11281
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
11282
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
11283
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
11285
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.

11288
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.

11306
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
11312
:Released: 2007-01-23
11317
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
11322
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
11323
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
11324
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
11326
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
11327
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
11328
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
11334
:Released: 2007-01-16
11339
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
11340
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
11341
server, then you can write over the http connection.
11342
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
11344
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
11347
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
11348
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
11349
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
11351
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
11352
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
11354
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
11357
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
11358
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
11359
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
11360
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
11361
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
11362
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
11364
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
11365
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
11366
should enable you to do::
11368
[/home/user/project]
11369
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
11370
push_location:policy = appendpath
11372
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
11373
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
11376
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
11377
for each file. For example::
11379
$ bzr status --short
11385
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
11386
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
11388
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
11390
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
11391
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
11393
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
11398
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
11399
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
11400
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
11401
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
11403
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
11404
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
11405
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
11407
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
11409
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
11410
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
11411
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
11412
(Alexander Belchenko)
11414
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
11417
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
11418
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
11420
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
11425
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
11426
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
11428
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
11429
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
11430
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
11431
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
11432
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
11434
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
11435
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
11437
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
11438
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
11440
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
11442
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
11444
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
11445
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
11446
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
11447
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
11448
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
11450
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
11451
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
11452
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
11453
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
11455
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
11456
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
11458
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
11459
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
11461
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.

* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
11485
tree from a branch.
11486
(Daniel Silverstone)
11488
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http

tree from some other url. For example:
11494
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
11495
(Daniel Silverstone)
11497
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
11498
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
11499
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
11500
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
11502
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
11505
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
11506
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
11507
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
11508
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
11509
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
11510
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
11515
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
11516
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
11519
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
11520
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
11521
(John Arbash Meinel)
11523
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
11524
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
11525
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
11526
(John Arbash Meinel)
11528
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
11529
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
11531
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
11532
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
11534
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
11535
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
11541
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
11542
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
11543
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
11545
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
11546
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
11547
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
11548
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
11550
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
11552
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
11553
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
11555
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
11556
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
11557
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
11558
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
11560
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
11561
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
11562
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
11564
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
11565
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
11566
them as full references rather than integers.
11567
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
11569
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
11570
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
11572
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
11574
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
11575
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
11577
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
11578
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
11580
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
11581
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
11582
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
11583
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
11585
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
11586
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
11587
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
11589
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
11590
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
11592
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
11593
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
11594
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
11595
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
11596
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
11601
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
11602
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
11607
:Released: 2006-10-30

* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
11613
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
11614
(John Arbash Meinel)
11619
:Released: 2006-10-23
11624
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
11625
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
11626
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
11627
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
11629
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
11630
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
11632
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
11634
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
11635
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
11636
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
11637
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
11639
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
11640
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
11641
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
11642
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
11643

11645
API Incompatability
11646
*******************
11648
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
11649
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
11654
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
11655
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
11656
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
11658
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
11659
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
11660
(John Arbash Meinel)
11662
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
11663
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
11664
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
11666
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
11667
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
11670
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
11671
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
11672
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
11674
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
11675
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
11676
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
11677
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
11678
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
11679
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
11681
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
11682
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
11683
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
11686
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
11687
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
11692
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
11693
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
11694
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
11697
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
11698
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
11700
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
11701
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
11702
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
11704
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
11705
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
11707
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
11708
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
11709
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
11710
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
11712
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
11713
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
11715
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
11716
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
11717
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
11719
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
11720
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
11722
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
11724
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
11725
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
11731
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
11732
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
11733
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
11734
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
11736
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
11737
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
11738
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
11743
:Released: 2006-10-02

* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
11750
:Released: 2006-09-27
11755
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
11757
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
11763
:Released: 2006-09-25
11768
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
11769
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
11770
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
11771
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
11772
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
11773
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
11774
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
11776
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
11777
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
11778
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
11780
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
11782
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
11783
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
11785
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
11786
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
11787
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
11790
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
11791
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
11792
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
11793
(John Arbash Meinel)
11795
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
11796
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
11797
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
11798
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
11801
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
11802
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
11803
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
11804
(John Arbash Meinel)
11809
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
11810
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
11812
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
11814
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
11815
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
11816
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
11818
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
11819
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
11821
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
11822
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
11824
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
11825
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
11827
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
11828
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
11830
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
11832
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
11833
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
11835
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
11836
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
11838
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
11839
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
11841
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
11842
(John Arbash Meinel)
11844
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
11845
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
11846
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
11848
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
11849
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
11851
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
11852
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
11853
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
11854
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #43744)
11856
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
11857
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
11858
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56815)
11860
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
11861
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
11866
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
11871
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
11872
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
11873
(John Arbash Meinel)
11875
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
11876
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
11877
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
11878
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
11880
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
11883
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
11884
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
11885
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
11887
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
11888
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
11890
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
11891
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
11892
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
11894
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
11895
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
11896
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
11897
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
11898
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
11899
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
11900
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
11901
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
11902
caller to repeat their request.
11903
(John Arbash Meinel)
11905
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
11906
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
11908
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
11909
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
11911
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
11912
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
11913
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
11914
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
11915
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
11916
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
11917
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
11919
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
11920
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
11921
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
11922
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
11923
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
11924
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
11925
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
11926
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
11929
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
11930
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
11931
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
11933
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
11934
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
11936
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
11937
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
11939
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
11940
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
11945
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
11946
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
11948
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
11949
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
11950
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
11952
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
11953
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
11954
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
11959
:Released: 2006-08-29
11963
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
11964
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
11966
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
11967
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
11968
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
11969
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
11970
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
11972
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
11973
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
11974
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
11976
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
11977
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
11979
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
11980
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
11981
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
11986
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
11988
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
11989
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
11990
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
11992
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
11994
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
11996
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
11997
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
11998
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
11999
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
12001
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
12002
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
12003
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
12004
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
12005
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)

* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
12011
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
12013
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
12014
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
12016
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
12017
in handling of revision properties.
12018
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
12020
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
12021
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
12026
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
12027
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
12028
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
12029
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
12030
(John Arbash Meinel)
12032
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
12033
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
12034
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
12039
:Released: 2006-08-11
12044
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
12045
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
12046
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
12047
specific one '.bzrignore'.
12048
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
12049
a more conservative list than the old default.
12050
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
12051
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
12052
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
12053
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
12055
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
12056
to more locations than just branch locations.
12062
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
12063
revno:N:branch. For example,
12064
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
12065
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
12067
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
12068
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
12069
the path of a file that has been versioned.
12070
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
12071
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
12072
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
12073
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
12074
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
12077
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
12078
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
12079
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
12082
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
12083
(Alexander Belchenko)
12085
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
12087
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
12090
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
12091
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
12092
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
12093
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
12094
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
12095
(John Arbash Meinel)
12097
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
12098
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
12099
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
12100
grained analysis of performance.
12101
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
12103
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
12104
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
12106
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
12107
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
12108
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
12109
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
12110
file. (Robert Collins).
12112
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
12113
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
12114
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
12116
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
12117
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
12120
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
12121
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
12123
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
12124
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
12125
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
12126
the same way you would apply another branch.
12127
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
12129
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
12130
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
12132
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
12135
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
12138
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
12139
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
12140
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
12142
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
12143
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
12144
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
12146
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
12147
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
12149
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
12150
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
12151
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
12152
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
12153
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
12155
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
12156
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
12158
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
12159
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
12160
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
12161
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
12162
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
12163
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
12164
branch is as much as 4x faster.
12165
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
12167
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
12168
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
12169
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
12174
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
12176
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
12178
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
12179
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
12181
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
12182
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
12184
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
12185
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
12187
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
12189
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
12190
(John Arbash Meinel)
12192
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
12193
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
12195
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
12196
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
12199
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
12200
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
12202
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
12203
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
12205
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
12206
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
12207
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
12208
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
12210
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
12211
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
12213
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
12215
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
12216
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
12218
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
12220
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
12222
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
12223
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
12225
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
12226
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
12228
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
12229
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
12230
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
12232
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
12233
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
12234
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
12236
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
12237
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
12239
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
12240
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
12242
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
12243
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
12245
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
12246
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
12248
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
12249
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
12251
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
12252
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
12253
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
12255
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
12257
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
12258
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
12263
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
12264
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
12265
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
12267
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
12268
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
12270
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
12271
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
12272
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
12274
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
12275
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
12277
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
12278
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
12281
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
12282
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
12283
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
12285
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
12286
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
12287
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
12289
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
12290
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
12291
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
12293
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
12294
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
12295
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
12297
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
12298
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
12299
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
12301
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
12302
instead. (Robert Collins)
12304
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
12309

12314
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)

12324
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
12325
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
12327
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
12328
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
12330
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
12331
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
12332
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
12337
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
12339
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
12340
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
12342
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
12347
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
12348
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
12349
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
12350
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
12355
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
12356
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
12357
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
12362
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
12363
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
12364
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
12369
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
12370
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)

Notes When Upgrading
12378
********************
12380
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
12381
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
12382
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
12383
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
12384
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
12385
will keep the same format.
12387
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
12388
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
12389
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
12390
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
12391
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
12393
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
12394
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
12395
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
12396
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
12397
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
12398
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
12399
indicating the current revision of the branch.
12401
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
12402
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
12403
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
12404
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
12405
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
12407
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
12408
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
12409
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
12416
* sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
12417
convention. Paths now take the form::
5
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
6
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
10
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
11
code paths. (Robert Collins)
13
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
14
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
15
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
16
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
17
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
19
* Deprecate Branch.get_root_id() because branches don't have root ids,
20
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
22
* WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta provides a better alternative to
23
WorkingTree._write_inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
27
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
28
(#98510, Ian Clatworthy)
32
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
33
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
35
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
36
properly and is no longer beneficial. Fixes #53675 and #43486.
41
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
42
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
43
in running it. (Robert Collins)
45
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
46
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
48
* Add new vfs_transport_factory attribute on tests which provides the
49
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
50
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
51
and use the existing transport_server attribute all tests know about
52
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
53
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
54
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
55
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
57
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
58
lightweight checkout for the tree if the vfs_transport_factory is not
59
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
61
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
62
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
63
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
64
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
65
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
67
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
74
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
77
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
78
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
81
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
85
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
86
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
91
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
92
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
93
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
94
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
95
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
96
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
97
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
98
bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections provide an easy transition
103
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
104
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
105
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
107
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to BzrDir.open_workingtree
108
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
111
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
112
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
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)
123
* Take smtp_server from user config into account.
126
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
127
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
129
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
130
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
132
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
133
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
134
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
136
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
137
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
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)
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)
149
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
153
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
155
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
157
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
158
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
159
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
163
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
164
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
166
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
167
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
169
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
171
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
172
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
174
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
175
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
179
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
184
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
185
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
186
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
187
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
189
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
190
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
192
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
193
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
195
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
198
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
199
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
202
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
206
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
207
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
208
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
209
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
210
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
211
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
213
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
214
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
215
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
216
lock_read/lock_write/lock_tree_write has been called, and become invalid
217
again after unlock is called. This has been done to improve performance
218
and correctness as part of the dirstate development. (Robert Collins,
219
John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
221
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
222
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
223
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
224
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
225
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
226
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
227
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
228
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
232
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
233
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
235
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
236
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
237
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
238
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
240
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
241
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
242
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
243
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
244
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
246
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
249
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
252
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
255
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
256
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
259
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
262
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
263
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
265
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
266
directory. (Martin Pool)
268
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
269
"append_history_only" mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
270
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
271
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
273
* append_only branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
274
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
275
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
276
in docs/configuration.txt.
278
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
279
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
282
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
283
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
284
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
285
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
286
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
287
repositories. (Martin Pool)
289
* The bzr:// transport now has a well-known port number, 4155, which it will
290
use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
292
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
293
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
295
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
300
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
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.
307
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
308
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
311
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
312
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
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)
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).
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
330
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
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)
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)
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)
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.
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)
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)
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)
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.
372
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
373
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
377
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
378
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
379
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
381
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
384
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
385
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
386
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
387
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
389
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
390
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
393
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
394
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
396
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
398
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable (CURL_CA_BUNDLE),
399
and on win32 along the PATH. (Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
401
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
402
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
404
* Raise DependencyNotPresent if pycurl do not support https. (Vincent
407
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
408
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
410
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
411
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
413
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
415
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
416
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
420
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
421
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
428
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
432
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
433
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
434
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
436
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
437
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
438
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
441
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
445
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
446
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
447
server, then you can write over the http connection.
448
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
450
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
453
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
454
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
455
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
457
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
458
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
460
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
463
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
464
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
465
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
466
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
467
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
468
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
470
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
471
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
472
should enable you to do::
475
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
476
push_location:policy = appendpath
478
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
479
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
482
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
483
for each file. For example::
491
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
492
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
494
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
496
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
497
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
499
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
503
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
504
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
505
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
506
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
508
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
509
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
510
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
512
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
514
* When 'encoding_type' attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
515
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
516
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
517
(Alexander Belchenko)
519
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
522
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
523
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
525
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
529
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
530
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
532
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
533
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
534
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
535
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
536
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
538
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. \\HOST\path).
539
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
541
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
542
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
544
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
546
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
548
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
549
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
550
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
551
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
552
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
554
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
555
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
556
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
557
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
559
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
560
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
562
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
563
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
565
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
566
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
568
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
569
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)
574
No changes from 0.13rc1
576
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
580
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
584
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
585
operations are substantially faster.
586
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
588
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
589
tree from some other url. For example:
590
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
593
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
594
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
595
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
596
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
598
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
601
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
602
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
603
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
604
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
605
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
606
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
610
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
611
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
614
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
615
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
618
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
619
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
620
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
623
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
624
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
626
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
627
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
632
* Now _KnitIndex properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
633
And optimize the knit index parsing code. (Dmitry Vasiliev, John
636
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
637
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
638
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
639
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
641
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
643
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
644
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
646
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
647
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
648
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
649
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
651
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
652
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
653
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
655
* _KnitIndex.add_versions() dictionary compresses revision ids as they
656
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
657
them as full references rather than integers. (John Arbash Meinel,
660
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
661
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
663
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
665
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
666
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
668
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
669
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
671
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
672
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
673
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
674
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
676
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
677
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
678
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
680
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
681
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
683
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
684
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
685
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
686
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
687
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
691
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
692
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
698
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
699
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
702
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
706
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
707
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
708
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
709
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
711
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
712
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
714
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
716
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
717
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
718
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
719
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
721
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
722
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
723
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
724
to allow modules to be loaded on request. (John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato
729
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
730
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
734
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
735
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
736
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
738
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
739
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
742
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
743
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
744
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
746
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
747
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
750
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
751
pass in inventory.ROOT_ID if you want the default root id value.
752
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
754
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
755
inventory out to disk. At the same time, read_working_inventory will
756
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
757
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
758
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
759
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
761
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
762
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
763
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
766
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
767
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
771
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
772
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
773
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
776
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
777
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
779
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
780
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
781
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
783
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
784
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
786
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
787
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
788
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
789
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
791
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
792
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
794
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
795
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
796
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
798
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
799
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
801
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
803
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
804
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
809
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
810
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
811
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
812
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
814
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
815
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
816
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
820
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
822
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
826
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
828
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
831
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
835
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
836
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
837
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
838
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
839
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
840
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
841
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
843
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
844
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
845
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
847
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
849
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
850
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
852
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
853
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
854
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
857
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
858
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
859
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
862
* Support bzr:// and bzr+ssh:// urls to work with the new RPC-based
863
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
864
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
865
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
868
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
869
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
870
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
875
* 'bzr inventory [FILE...]' allows restricting the file list to a
876
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
878
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
880
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
881
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
882
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
884
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
885
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
887
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
888
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
890
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
891
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
893
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
894
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
896
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
898
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
899
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
901
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
902
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
904
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
905
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
907
* Don't use preexec_fn on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
910
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
911
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
912
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
914
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
915
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
917
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
918
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
919
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
920
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
922
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
923
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
924
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
926
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
927
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
931
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
935
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
936
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
939
* run_bzr_subprocess() can take an optional 'env_changes={}' parameter,
940
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
941
take a 'universal_newlines=True', which helps when checking the output
942
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
944
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
947
* Transport.list_dir() and Transport.iter_files_recursive() should always
948
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
949
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
951
* New utility function symbol_versioning.deprecation_string. Returns the
952
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
954
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
955
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
956
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
958
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
959
.append_bytes, .append_file, .put_bytes, and .put_file. This removes the
960
ambiguity in what type of object the functions take.
961
Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file} has also been added. Which works
962
similarly to Transport.append() except for SFTP, it doesn't have a round
963
trip when opening the file. Also, it provides functionality for creating
964
a parent directory when trying to create a file, rather than raise
965
NoSuchFile and forcing the caller to repeat their request.
968
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
969
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
971
* WorkingTree.pending_merges is deprecated. Please use the get_parent_ids
972
(introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
974
* WorkingTree has a new lock_tree_write method which locks the branch for
975
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
976
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
977
needs_tree_write_lock is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
978
needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock decorators this allows static
979
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
980
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
982
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
983
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
984
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
985
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
986
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
987
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
988
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
989
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
992
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
993
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
994
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
996
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
997
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
999
* New methods mkdir and put_file_bytes_non_atomic on MutableTree that
1000
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
1002
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
1003
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1007
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
1008
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
1010
* Add start_bzr_subprocess and stop_bzr_subprocess to allow test code to
1011
continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr. (Andrew Bennetts,
1014
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
1015
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
1016
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1021
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
1022
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
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)
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)
1034
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
1035
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
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)
1043
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
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)
1049
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
1051
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
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)
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.
1062
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
1064
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
1065
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
1067
* Use GPG_TTY to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
1068
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
1070
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
1071
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
1073
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
1074
in handling of revision properties. (John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel,
1077
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
1078
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
1082
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
1083
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
1084
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
1085
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
1086
(John Arbash Meinel)
1088
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
1089
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
1090
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
1092
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
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)
1107
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
1108
to more locations than just branch locations.
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)
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,
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)
1133
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
1134
(Alexander Belchenko)
1136
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
1138
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
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)
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).
1154
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
1155
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
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).
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).
1167
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
1168
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
1171
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
1172
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
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)
1180
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
1181
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
1183
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
1186
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
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)
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)
1197
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
1198
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
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)
1206
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
1207
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
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)
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)
1224
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
1225
tests not to run. (#32587, Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman,
1228
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
1229
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1231
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
1232
in connecting to the remote location. (#49742, John Arbash Meinel)
1234
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
1235
(#45010, John Arbash Meinel)
1237
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
1239
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
1240
(John Arbash Meinel)
1242
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
1243
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
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
1249
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
1250
push. (#52227, Aaron Bentley)
1252
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
1253
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
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)
1260
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
1261
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
1263
* Tuning iter_entries() to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
1265
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
1266
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
1268
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
1270
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
1272
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
1273
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
1275
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
1276
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
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)
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)
1286
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
1287
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
1289
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
1290
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
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)
1295
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
1296
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
1298
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
1299
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
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)
1305
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
1307
* Fix Branch.get_parent() to handle the case when the parent is not
1308
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
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).
1316
* Appending to bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE is now deprecated. Instead, use
1317
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
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)
1323
* bzrlib.delta.compare_trees now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
1324
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1326
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
1327
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
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)
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)
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).
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)
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)
1350
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use repository.revision_tree(None)
1351
instead. (Robert Collins)
1353
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
1355
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
1359
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
1361
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
1365
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
1366
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
1368
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
1369
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1371
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
1372
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
1373
(#44443, Olaf Conradi)
1377
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
1379
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
1380
(#44155, Olaf Conradi)
1382
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (#44284, Olaf Conradi)
1386
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
1387
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
1388
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
1389
list of editors. (#42904, Olaf Conradi)
1393
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
1394
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
1395
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
1399
* New public api in InventoryEntry - 'describe_change(old, new)' which
1400
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
1401
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1405
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
1406
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
1410
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1412
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
1413
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
1414
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
1415
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
1416
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
1417
will keep the same format.
1419
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
1420
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
1421
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
1422
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
1423
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
1425
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
1426
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
1427
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
1428
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
1429
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
1430
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
1431
indicating the current revision of the branch.
1433
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
1434
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
1435
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
1436
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
1437
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
1439
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
1440
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
1441
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
1447
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
1448
convention. Paths now take the form:
12419
1449
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
12421
1451
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
12423
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
12424
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
12426
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
12427
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
12428
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
12430
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
12431
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
12432
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
12433
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
12435
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
12436
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
12437
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
12439
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
12441
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
12443
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
12444
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
12447
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
12448
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
12449
| xargs bzr re-sign
12451
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
12453
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
12454
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
12455
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
12458
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
12460
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
12462
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
12465
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
12466
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
12468
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
12469
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
12470
Daniel Silverstone)
12472
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
12473
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
12476
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
12478
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
12480
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
12481
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
12483
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
12484
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
12485
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
12486
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
12487
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
12488
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
12490
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
12492
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
12493
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
12496
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
12497
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
12499
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
12500
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
12502
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
12504
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
12505
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
12506
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
12507
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
12508
specification by Martin Pool.
12509
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
12511
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
12514
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
12515
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
12517
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
12518
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
12519
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
12521
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
12523
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
12524
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
12530
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
12531
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
12533
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
12535
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
12537
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
12540
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
12541
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
12542
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
12543
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
12548
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
12549
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
12550
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
12551
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
12553
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
12554
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
12555
tried. (Martin Pool)
12557
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
12560
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
12562
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
12563
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
12564
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
12566
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
12567
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
12569
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
12570
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
12571
paths. (Robert Collins)
12573
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
12574
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
12575
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
12577
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
12578
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
12579
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
12581
* Progress bars are now nested - see
12582
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
12583
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
12585
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
12588
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
12591
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
12593
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
12595
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
12596
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
12597
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
12600
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
12601
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
12603
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
12604
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
12605
check. (Robert Collins)
12607
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
12608
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
12613
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
12614
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
12616
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
12617
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
12618
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
12619
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
12621
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
12622
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
12623
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
12624
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
12625
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
12627
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
12628
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
12629
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
12631
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
12633
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
12634
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
12639
:Released: 2006-01-09
12644
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
12645
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
12647
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
12648
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
12649
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
12652
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
12653
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
12655
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
12656
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
12657
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
12658
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
12659
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
12661
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
12662
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
12663
used. (Robert Collins)
12665
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
12666
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
12669
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
12670
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
12671
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
12673
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
12676
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
12677
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
12682
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
12683
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
12685
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
12687
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
12689
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
12690
tree. (Robert Collins)
12692
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
12693
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
12694
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
12697
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
12700
* Tweaks to short log printing
12702
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
12705
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
12706
occurs. (Martin Pool)
12708
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
12709
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
12711
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
12712
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
12714
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
12715
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
12716
settings. (Magnus Therning)
12718
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
12719
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
12721
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
12722
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
12725
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
12726
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
12728
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
12729
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
12731
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
12732
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
12734
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
12737
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
12738
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
12740
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
12741
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
12743
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
12744
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
12745
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
12750
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
12752
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
12754
* Error when run with -OO
12756
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
12759
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
12761
* Change status to 3 for all errors
12763
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
12764
ignored by diff and status
12766
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
12767
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
12769
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
12771
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
12773
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
12774
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
12776
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
12777
email address. (Marien Zwart)
12779
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
12782
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
12783
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
12785
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
12787
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
12788
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
12790
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
12793
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.

12801
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
12802
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
12804

12806
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
12808
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
12810
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
12811
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
12812
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
12814
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)

(John Arbash Meinel)
12819
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
12821
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
12822
If adding a new test script please add that to
12823
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
12825
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
12826
imported. (Martin Pool)
12828
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
12829
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
12830
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
12831
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
12832
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
12835
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
12836
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
12837
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
12839
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
12840
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
12841
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
12843
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
12844
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
12845
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
12846
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
12847
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
12850
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
12851
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
12857
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
12858
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
12860
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
12861
function. (Robert Collins)
12863
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
12864
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
12865
if needed). (Robert Collins)
12867
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
12868
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
12871
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
12872
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
12873
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
12874
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
12875
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
12876
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
12877
version. (Robert Collins)
12879
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
12880
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
12882
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
12883
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
12884
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
12885
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
12886
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
12887
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
12889
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
12892
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
1453
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
1454
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
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)
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).
1465
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell). Help also updated to
1466
reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar (Hans Ulrich
1469
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
1471
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
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
1477
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
1478
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
1481
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
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.
1488
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
1490
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
1492
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
1495
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
1496
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
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,
1502
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
1503
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
1506
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
1508
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
1510
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
1511
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
1513
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
1514
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
1515
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
1516
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
1517
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
1518
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
1520
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
1522
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
1523
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
1526
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
1527
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
1529
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
1530
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
1532
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
1534
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
1535
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
1536
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
1537
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
1538
specification by Martin Pool.
1539
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
1541
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
1544
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
1545
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1547
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
1548
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
1549
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
1551
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
1553
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
1554
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
1559
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
1560
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1562
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (#5379, Matthew Fuller)
1564
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (#35940, Martin Pool, Ian Bicking)
1566
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
1569
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
1570
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
1571
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
1572
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
1576
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
1577
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
1578
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
1579
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1581
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
1582
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
1583
tried. (Martin Pool)
1585
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
1588
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
1590
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, WorkingTree.create_standalone,
1591
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see BzrDir.create_* for
1592
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
1594
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
1595
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
1597
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
1598
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
1599
paths. (Robert Collins)
1601
* bzrlib.fetch.fetch and bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch are now deprecated,
1602
please use 'branch.fetch' or 'repository.fetch' depending on your
1603
needs. (Robert Collins)
1605
* deprecated methods now have a 'is_deprecated' flag on them that can
1606
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
1607
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
1609
* Progress bars are now nested - see
1610
bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
1612
* New API call get_format_description() for each type of format.
1615
* Changed branch.set_parent() to accept None to remove parent.
1618
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
1620
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
1622
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a bar_type parameter which
1623
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
1624
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
1627
* New API method get_physical_lock_status() to query locks present on a
1628
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
1630
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
1631
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
1632
check. (Robert Collins)
1634
* bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol now supports 'get_boolean' to prompt
1635
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
1639
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
1640
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
1642
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see bzrlib.
1643
tests.branch_implementations. This is analagous to the transport
1644
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
1645
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
1647
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
1648
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
1649
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
1650
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
1651
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
1653
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
1654
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
1655
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
1657
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
1659
* run_bzr and run_bzr_captured now accept a 'stdin="foo"' parameter which
1660
will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
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)
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".
1674
* Under Windows configuration directory is now %APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0
1675
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
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)
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)
1687
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
1688
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
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.
1695
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
1698
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
1699
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
1703
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
1704
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
1706
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
1708
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
1710
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
1711
tree. (Robert Collins)
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.
1718
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
1721
* Tweaks to short log printing
1723
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
1726
* If $BZR_PDB is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
1727
occurs. (Martin Pool)
1729
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
1730
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
1732
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
1733
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
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)
1739
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
1740
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
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
1746
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
1747
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
1749
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
1750
(#3632, Matthieu Moy)
1752
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
1753
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
1755
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
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)
1761
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
1762
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
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.
1766
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
1770
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
1772
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
1774
* Error when run with -OO
1776
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
1779
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
1781
* Change status to 3 for all errors
1783
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
1784
ignored by diff and status
1786
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
1787
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
1789
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
1791
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
1793
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
1794
status' output. (#4503, Daniel Silverstone)
1796
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
1797
email address. (Marien Zwart)
1799
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages. (Harald
1802
* List of plugin directories in BZR_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable is
1803
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
1805
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
1807
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
1808
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
1810
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters. (Martin
1813
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list. (#6413, Tollef Fog
1816
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
1820
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
1821
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
1823
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
1825
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
1827
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
1829
* Updated build_tree to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
1830
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
1831
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
1833
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
1835
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
1836
(John Arbash Meinel)
1838
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
1840
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
1841
If adding a new test script please add that to
1842
bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__. (Robert Collins)
1844
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
1845
imported. (Martin Pool)

1858
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
1859

in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
1875
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,

1882
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
1883
if needed). (Robert Collins)
1885
* Branch has two new methods, get_push_location and set_push_location
1886
to respectively, get and set the push location. (Robert Collins)

1899
* Branch.read_working_inventory has moved to
1900
WorkingTree.read_working_inventory. This necessitated changes to
1901
Branch.get_root_id, and a move of Branch.set_inventory to WorkingTree
1902
as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always be obtained
1903
Branch.working_tree() will raise 'errors.NoWorkingTree' if one cannot
1904
be obtained. (Robert Collins)
1906
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
1909
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree:
12902
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
12904
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
12906
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
12909
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a

12915
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
12918
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
12921
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
12922
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
12923
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
12924
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
12926
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
12927
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
12928
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
12929
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
12931
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
12932
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
12937
:Released: 2005-10-28
12942
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
12945
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
12949
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
12950
a separator, not ':'.
12953
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
12954
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
12955
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
12957
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
12958
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
12961
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
12962
has been added that suppresses all output.
12964
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
12967
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
12968
Goffredo Baroncelli.
12970
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
12971
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
12973
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
12974
a revision. (Robert Collins)
12976
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
12977
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
12978
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
12979
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
12981
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
12983
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
12984
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
12986
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
12987
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
12989
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
12990
output directory, if one was supplied.
12992
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
12993
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
12994
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
12995
parameters. (Robert Collins)
12997
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
12999
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
13000
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
13002
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
13003
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
13004
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
13006
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
13007
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
13009
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
13012
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
13014
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
13019
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
13020
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
13021
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
13023
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
13024
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
13025
related questions. (Robert Collins)
13027
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
13028
is given. (Martin Pool)
13030
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
13031
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
13032
file. (Robert Collins)
13034
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
13040
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
13041
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
13042
representation. (Martin Pool).
13044
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
13045
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
13046
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
13048
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
13051
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
13052
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
13055
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
13056
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
13057
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
13058
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
13059
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
13061
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
13062
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
13063
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
13064
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
13065
python path. (Robert Collins)
13067
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
13068
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
13069
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
13070
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
13072
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
13073
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
13075
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
13076
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
13079
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
13080
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
13081
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
13083
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
13084
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
13085
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
13087
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
13088
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
13090
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
13091
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
13092
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
13095
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
13096
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
13097
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
13098
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
13101
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
13104
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
13105
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
13108
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
13109
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
13110
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
13112
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
13113
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propagate as normal.
13114
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
13116
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
13117
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
13118
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
13120
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
13121
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
13123
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
13124
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
13125
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
13126
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
13127
caller. (Robert Collins)
13129
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
13130
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
13133
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
13134
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
13137
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
13139
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
13140
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
13145
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
13146
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
13148
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
13149
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
13155
:Released: 2005-10-12
13160
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
13161
allow directories to be listed.
13163
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
13164
upgrading branch format.
13169
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
13175
:Released: 2005-10-11
13180
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
13181
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
13182
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
13183
high-latency connections.
13188
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
13191
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
13192
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
13194
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
13195
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
13196
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
13197
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
13199
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
13200
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
13202
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
13203
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
13205
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
13206
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
13207
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
13209
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
13210
for files with only a change to their executable status.
13211
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
13214
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
13215
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
13217
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
13218
different partial views of history.
13220
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
13221
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
13226
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
13227
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
13228
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
13230
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
13231
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
13234
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
13235
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
13237
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
13240
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
13241
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
13243
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
13244
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
13245
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
13246
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
13248
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
13250
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
13251
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
13254
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
13255
Contributed by Robert Collins.
13257
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
13258
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
13259
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
13265
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
13266
for your viewing pleasure.
13268
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
13269
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
13271
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
13272
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
13273
handling of such circumstances.
13275
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
13276
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
13277
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
13279
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
13281
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
13282
we call them revisions not patches.
13284
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
13285
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
13287
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
13288
giving the revision *of that file*.
13290
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
13291
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
13292
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
13297
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
13298
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
13300
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
13301
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
13307
:Released: 2005-09-23
13312
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
13314
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
13317
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
13319
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
13321
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
13322
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
13327
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
13328
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
13330
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
13331
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
13332
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
13333
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
13336
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
13337
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
13342
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
13344
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
13345
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
13351
:Released: 2005-09-20
13357
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
13358
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
13359
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
13360
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
13363
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
13366
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
13367
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
13368
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
13369
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
13370
for the operating system is still tried.
13372
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
13373
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
13374
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
13380
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
13385
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
13387
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
13390
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
13397
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
13399
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
13405
:Released: 2005-09-02
13410
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
13411
help with intelligent shell completion.
13413
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
13419
* Much better merge support.
13421
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
13422
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
13429
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
13430
mention revisions that are not present.
13432
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
13434
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
13436
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
13437
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
13443
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
13445
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
13446
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
13453
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
13454
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
13462
:Released: 2005-08-18
13467
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
13468
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
13470
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
13472
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
13473
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
13475
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
13478
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
13480
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
13483
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
13484
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
13486
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
13487
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
13488
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
13494
* Faster working tree operations.
13500
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
13501
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
13502
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
13503
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
13505
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
13506
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
13507
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
13508
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
13509
standard plugins directory.
13511
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
13512
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
13513
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
13514
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
13516
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
13517
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
13519
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
13522
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
13523
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
13524
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
13526
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
13527
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
13529
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
13530
line options must come before the command name because they
13531
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
13532
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
13535
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
13537
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
13538
is available with ``--short``.
13544
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
13550
:Released: 2005-06-15
13555
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
13556
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
13558
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
13559
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
13560
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
13561
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
13563
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
13564
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
13565
with the ``--forward`` option.
13567
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
13568
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
13575
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
13576
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
13578
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
13580
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
13581
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
13583
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
13585
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
13586
either read or write mode.
13588
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
13590
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
13591
affected that file.
13593
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
13595
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
13596
suggested by LarstiQ.
13598
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
13599
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
13601
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
13604
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
13605
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
13607
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
13608
haven't changed since the previous time.
13610
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
13611
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
13613
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
13615
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
13617
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
13618
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
13620
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing

options through to an external GNU diff.
13623
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
13626
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
13633
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
13634
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
13636
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
13643
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
13644
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
13647
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
13648
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
13650
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
13651
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
13653
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
13654
under a different version.
13656
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
13662
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
13664
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
13665
Scott James Remnant.
13667
* Better help messages for many commands.
13669
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
13670
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
13672
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
13673
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
13675
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
13677
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
13679
* New AtomicFile class.
13681
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
13687
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
13688
2.4 is now only recommended.
13694
:Released: 2005-04-22
13699
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
13700
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
13702
* More default ignore patterns.
13704
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
13705
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
13707
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
13709
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
13712
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
13718
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
13719
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
13720
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
13721
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
13722
there are DNS problems.
13724
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
13730
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
13732
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
13734
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
13735
trailing newlines properly.
13741
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
13744
* More tests in test.sh.
13746
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
13747
directory and delete it when done.
13749
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
13755
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
13758
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
13765
:Released: 2005-04-06
13770
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
13773
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
13775
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
13778
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
13781
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
13783
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
13788
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
13789
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
13795
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
13796
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
13802
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
13807
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
1917
* bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch is now smart_add_tree. (Robert Collins)
1919
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
1921
* Rename selftests to `bzrlib.tests.test_foo`. (John A Meinel, Martin
1924
* bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins has been changed from an attribute to a
1925
query method. (Robert Collins)
1927
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
1930
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
1933
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in cmd_pull().
1937
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
1938
is exposed as Branch().control_files. Also this has been altered with the
1939
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
1940
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
1942
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
1943
bzrlib.symbol_versioning module. Marked method have their docstring
1944
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
1945
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
1947
* bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode now exists to provide parameter coercion
1948
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
1954
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
1957
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
1961
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
1962
a separator, not ':'.
1965
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
1966
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
1967
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
1969
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
1970
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
1973
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
1974
has been added that suppresses all output.
1976
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
1979
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
1980
Goffredo Baroncelli.
1982
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
1983
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
1985
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
1986
a revision. (Robert Collins)
1988
* If you set check_signatures=require for a path in
1989
~/.bazaar/branches.conf then bzr will invoke your
1990
gpg_signing_command (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
1991
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
1993
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
1995
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
1996
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
1998
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
1999
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
2001
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
2002
output directory, if one was supplied.
2004
* If the option 'post_commit' is set to one (or more) python function
2005
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
2006
after the commit has completed, with the branch and revision_id as
2007
parameters. (Robert Collins)
2009
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
2011
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
2012
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
2014
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
2015
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
2016
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
2018
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
2019
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
2021
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
2024
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
2026
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
2030
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
2031
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
2032
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
2034
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
2035
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
2036
related questions. (Robert Collins)
2038
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
2039
is given. (Martin Pool)
2041
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
2042
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
2043
file. (Robert Collins)
2045
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
2050
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
2051
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
2052
representation. (Martin Pool).
2054
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
2055
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
2056
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
2058
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2061
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
2062
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
2065
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2066
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
2067
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
2068
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
2069
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
2071
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
2072
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
2073
import other plugins during the __init__ of your plugin though, as
2074
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
2075
python path. (Robert Collins)
2077
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
2078
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
2079
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
2080
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
2082
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
2083
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
2085
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
2086
lock_read, lock_write and unlock methods for convenience. (Robert
2089
* Two decorators, needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock have been added
2090
to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
2091
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
2093
* Branch.open_containing now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
2094
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
2095
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
2097
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
2098
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2100
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as WorkingTree.pull().
2101
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
2102
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
2105
* config.Config has a 'get_user_option' call that accepts an option name.
2106
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
2107
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
2108
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
2111
* merge.merge_inner now has tempdir as an optional parameter. (Robert
2114
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
2115
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
2118
* WorkingTree.__del__ has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
2119
doing what it was intended to. See WorkingTree.__init__ for a comment
2120
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
2122
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
2123
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
2124
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
2126
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
2127
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
2128
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
2130
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
2131
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2133
* 'merge_flex' no longer calls conflict_handler.finalize(), instead that
2134
is called by merge_inner. This is so that the conflict count can be
2135
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
2136
of merge_inner. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
2137
caller. (Robert Collins)
2139
* 'revision.revision_graph can handle having only partial history for
2140
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
2143
* New builtins.branch_files uses the standard file_list rules to produce
2144
a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch (Aaron Bentley)
2146
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
2148
* New bzrlib.version_info tuple (similar to sys.version_info), which can
2149
be used by programs importing bzrlib.
2153
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
2154
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
2156
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
2157
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
2160
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
2164
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
2165
allow directories to be listed.
2167
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
2168
upgrading branch format.
2172
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
2179
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
2180
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
2181
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
2182
high-latency connections.
2186
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
2189
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
2190
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
2192
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
2193
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
2194
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
2195
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2197
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
2198
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
2200
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
2201
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
2203
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
2204
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
2205
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2207
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
2208
for files with only a change to their executable status.
2209
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
2212
* HTTP tests now force off the use of http_proxy for the duration.
2213
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
2215
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
2216
different partial views of history.
2218
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
2219
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
2223
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
2224
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
2225
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2227
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
2228
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
2231
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
2232
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
2234
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
2237
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
2238
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
2240
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
2241
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
2242
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
2243
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2245
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
2247
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
2248
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
2251
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
2252
Contributed by Robert Collins.
2254
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
2255
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
2256
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
2261
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
2262
for your viewing pleasure.
2264
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
2265
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
2267
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
2268
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
2269
handling of such circumstances.
2271
* Remove RevisionReference class; Revision.parent_ids is now simply a
2272
list of their ids and parent_sha1s is a list of their corresponding
2273
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
2275
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
2277
* Renamed Branch.last_patch() to Branch.last_revision(), since
2278
we call them revisions not patches.
2280
* Move copy_branch to bzrlib.clone.copy_branch. The destination
2281
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
2283
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
2284
giving the revision *of that file*.
2286
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
2287
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
2288
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
2292
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
2293
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
2295
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
2296
of tests to run, e.g. 'bzr selftest test_weave'
2299
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
2303
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
2305
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
2308
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
2310
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
2312
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
2313
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2317
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
2318
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
2320
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
2321
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
2322
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
2323
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
2326
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
2327
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2331
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
2333
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
2334
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
2337
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
2341
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
2342
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
2343
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
2344
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
2347
* Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default. Patch from
2350
* If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
2351
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
2352
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
2353
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
2354
for the operating system is still tried.
2356
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
2357
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
2358
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
2363
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
2367
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
2369
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
2372
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
2378
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
2380
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
2383
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
2387
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
2388
help with intelligent shell completion.
2390
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
2395
* Much better merge support.
2397
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
2398
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
2404
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
2405
mention revisions that are not present.
2407
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
2409
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
2411
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
2412
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
2417
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
2419
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
2420
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
2426
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
2427
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
2432
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
2436
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
2437
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH or ~/.bzr.conf/plugins by default.
2439
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
2441
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
2442
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
2444
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
2447
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
2449
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
2452
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
2453
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
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.)
2462
* Faster working tree operations.
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.)
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.
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.
2483
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
2484
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
2486
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
2489
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
2490
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
2491
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
2493
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
2494
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
2496
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
2497
line options must come before the command name because they
2498
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
2499
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
2502
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
2504
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
2505
is available with ``--short``.
2510
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
2513
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
2517
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
2518
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2520
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
2521
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
2522
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
2523
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
2525
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
2526
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
2527
with the ``--forward`` option.
2529
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
2530
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
2536
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
2537
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
2539
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
2541
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
2542
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
2544
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
2546
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
2547
either read or write mode.
2549
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
2551
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
2554
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
2556
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
2557
suggested by LarstiQ.
2559
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
2560
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
2562
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
2565
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
2566
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
2568
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
2569
haven't changed since the previous time.
2571
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
2572
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
2574
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
2576
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
2578
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
2579
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
2581
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
2582
options through to an external GNU diff.
2584
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
2587
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
2593
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
2594
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
2596
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
2602
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
2603
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
2606
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
2607
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
2609
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
2610
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
2612
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
2613
under a different version.
2615
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
2620
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
2622
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
2623
Scott James Remnant.
2625
* Better help messages for many commands.
2627
* Expose bzrlib.open_tracefile() to start the tracefile; until
2628
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
2630
* New internal function find_touching_revisions() and hidden
2631
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
2633
* Simpler and faster compare_inventories() function.
2635
* bzrlib.open_tracefile() takes a tracefilename parameter.
2637
* New AtomicFile class.
2639
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
2644
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
2645
2.4 is now only recommended.
2648
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
2652
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
2653
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
2655
* More default ignore patterns.
2657
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
2658
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
2660
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
2662
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
2665
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
2670
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
2671
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
2672
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
2673
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
2674
there are DNS problems.
2676
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
2681
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
2683
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
2685
* Partial workaround for difflib.unified_diff not handling
2686
trailing newlines properly.
2691
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
2694
* More tests in test.sh.
2696
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
2697
directory and delete it when done.
2699
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
2704
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
2707
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
2711
bzr-0.0.3 2005-04-06
2715

2720
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
2723
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
2726
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
2728
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
2732
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
2733
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
2738
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
2739
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
2744
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
2748
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
13816
* Win32 fixes from Steve Brown.
