NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
11
12
CHANGES:
13
14
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
15
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
16
17
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
18
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
19
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
20
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
21
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
22
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
23
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
24
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
25
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
26
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
27
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
28
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
29
(Robert Collins)
30
31
FEATURES:
32
33
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
34
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
35
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
36
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
37
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developers/knitpack.html
38
for further details. (Robert Collins)
39
40
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
41
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
42
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
43
(Robert Collins)
44
45
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
46
47
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
48
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
49
50
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
51
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
52
(Aaron Bentley)
53
54
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
55
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
56
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
57
58
PERFORMANCE:
59
60
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
61
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
62
63
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
64
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
65
66
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
67
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
68
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
69
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
70
71
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
72
(Robert Collins, #88319)
73
74
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
75
(Robert Collins)
76
77
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
78
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
79
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
80
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
81
82
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
83
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
84
85
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
86
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
87
88
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
89
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
90
91
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
92
the contents. (Robert Collins)
93
94
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
95
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
96
97
IMPROVEMENTS:
98
99
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
100
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
101
102
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
103
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
104
105
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
106
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
107
108
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
109
(Martin Pool, #63894)
110
111
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
112
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
113
114
DOCUMENTATION:
115
116
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
117
118
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
119
(Ian Clatworthy)
120
121
BUG FIXES:
122
123
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
124
(Robert Collins, #157789)
125
126
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
127
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
128
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
129
130
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
131
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
132
133
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
134
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
135
136
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
137
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
138
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
139
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
140
141
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
142
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
143
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
144
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
145
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
146
147
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
148
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
149
paramiko.
150
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
151
152
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
153
154
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
155
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
156
157
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
158
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
159
160
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
161
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
162
163
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
164
contains a symbolic link.
165
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
166
167
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
168
(James Westby, #140615)
169
170
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
171
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
172
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
173
174
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
175
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
176
(Martin Pool, #144633)
177
178
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
179
180
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
181
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
182
183
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
184
will remain opened.
185
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
186
187
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
188
directory to detect leaking tests.
189
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
190
191
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
192
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
193
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
194
195
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
196
(Rob Weir, #141629)
197
198
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
199
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
200
201
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
202
Merwe)
203
204
API BREAKS:
205
206
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
207
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
208
209
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
210
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
211
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
212
213
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
214
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
215
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
216
217
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
218
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
219
220
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
221
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
222
223
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
224
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
225
(Martin Pool)
226
227
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
228
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
229
230
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
231
class that needs it.
232
(Martin Pool)
233
234
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
235
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
236
237
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
238
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
239
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
240
241
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
242
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
243
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
244
(Robert Collins)
245
246
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
247
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
248
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
249
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
250
(Robert Collins)
251
252
INTERNALS:
253
254
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
255
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
256
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
257
258
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
259
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
260
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
261
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
262
263
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
264
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
265
(Robert Collins)
266
267
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
268
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
269
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
270
271
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
272
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
273
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
274
275
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
276
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
277
278
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
279
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
280
to complete. (Robert Collins)
281
282
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
283
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
284
285
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
286
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
287
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
288
289
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
290
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
291
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
292
293
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
294
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
295
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
296
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
297
298
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
299
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
300
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
301
returned. (Robert Collins)
302
303
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
304
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
305
306
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
307
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
308
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
309
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
310
(Robert Collins)
311
312
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
313
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
314
315
TESTING:
316
317
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
318
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
319
320
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
321
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
322
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
323
makes this behavior available to other users.
324
(Martin Pool)
325
326
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
327
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
328
329
330
bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
331
===================
332
333
BUG FIXES:
334
335
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
336
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
337
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
338
339
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
340
341
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
342
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
343
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
344
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
345
346
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
347
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
348
(Andrew Bennetts)
349
350
351
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
352
======================
353
354
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
355
in bzrlib/remote.py.
356
357
358
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
359
======================
360
361
CHANGES:
362
363
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
364
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
365
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
366
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
367
(Martin Pool)
368
369
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
370
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
371
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
372
(Ian Clatworthy)
373
374
FEATURES:
375
376
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
377
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
378
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
379
(Lukáš Lalinský)
380
381
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
382
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
383
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
384
385
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
386
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
387
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
388
389
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
390
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
391
392
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
393
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
394
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
395
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
396
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
397
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
398
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
399
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
400
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
401
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
402
403
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
404
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
405
406
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
407
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
408
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
409
410
BUG FIXES:
411
412
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
413
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
414
415
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
416
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
417
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
418
419
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
420
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
421
422
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
423
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
424
425
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
426
(Aaron Bentley)
427
428
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
429
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
430
431
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
432
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
433
434
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
435
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
436
437
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
438
(Blake Winton, #129299)
439
440
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
441
442
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
443
Watkins, #106726)
444
445
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
446
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
447
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
448
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
449
450
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
451
452
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
453
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
454
#133548)
455
456
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
457
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
458
459
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
460
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
461
#116143)
462
463
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
464
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
465
466
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
467
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
468
469
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
470
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
471
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
472
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
473
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
474
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
475
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
476
477
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
478
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
479
480
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
481
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
482
483
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
484
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
485
486
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
487
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
488
489
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
490
connections.
491
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
492
493
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
494
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
495
496
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
497
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
498
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
499
500
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
501
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
502
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
503
504
IMPROVEMENTS:
505
506
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
507
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
508
509
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
510
(Aaron Bentley)
511
512
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
513
(Aaron Bentley)
514
515
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
516
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
517
518
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
519
520
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
521
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
522
523
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
524
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
525
526
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
527
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
528
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
529
space). (Robert Collins)
530
531
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
532
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
533
(Ian Clatworthy)
534
535
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
536
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
537
538
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
539
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
540
541
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
542
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
543
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
544
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
545
546
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
547
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
548
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
549
(Lukáš Lalinský)
550
551
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
552
(Ian Clatworthy)
553
554
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
555
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
556
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
557
558
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
559
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
560
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
561
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
562
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
563
564
API BREAKS:
565
566
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
567
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
568
569
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
570
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
571
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
572
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
573
affected. (Robert Collins)
574
575
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
576
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
577
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
578
(Robert Collins)
579
580
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
581
previous release. (Martin Pool)
582
583
TESTING:
584
585
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
586
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
587
588
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
589
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
590
591
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
592
previous release. (Martin Pool)
593
594
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
595
(Aaron Bentley)
596
597
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
598
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
599
600
INTERNALS:
601
602
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
603
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
604
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
605
its version information. (Robert Collins)
606
607
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
608
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
609
610
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
611
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
612
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
613
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
614
615
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
616
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
617
present. (Robert Collins)
618
619
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
620
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
621
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
622
API. (Robert Collins)
623
624
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
625
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
626
(Robert Collins)
627
628
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
629
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
630
631
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
632
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
633
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
634
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
635
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
636
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
637
638
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
639
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
640
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
641
642
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
643
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
644
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
645
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
646
protocol.
647
648
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
649
(Aaron Bentley)
650
651
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
652
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
653
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
654
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
655
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
656
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
657
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
658
659
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
660
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
661
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
662
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
663
664
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
665
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
666
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
667
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
668
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
669
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
670
671
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
672
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
673
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
674
675
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
676
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
677
678
679
bzr 0.90 2007-08-28
680
===================
681
682
IMPROVEMENTS:
683
684
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
685
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
686
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
687
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
688
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
689
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
690
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
691
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
692
693
694
API CHANGES:
695
696
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
697
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
698
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
699
700
701
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
702
======================
703
704
BUGFIXES:
705
706
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
707
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
708
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
709
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
710
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
711
712
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
713
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
714
715
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
716
anymore.
717
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
718
719
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
720
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
721
(Vincent Ladeuil)
722
723
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
724
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
725
#111664)
726
727
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
728
(Lukáš Lalinský)
729
730
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
731
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
732
733
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
734
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
735
736
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
737
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
738
739
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
740
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
741
742
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
743
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
744
745
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
746
(Aaron Bentley)
747
748
IMPROVEMENTS:
749
750
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
751
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
752
753
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
754
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
755
756
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
757
the repository (Robert Collins)
758
759
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
760
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
761
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
762
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
763
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
764
765
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
766
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
767
768
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
769
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
770
(John Arbash Meinel)
771
772
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
773
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
774
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
775
about 10%).
776
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
777
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
778
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
779
(John Arbash Meinel)
780
781
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
782
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
783
(Robert Collins)
784
785
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
786
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
787
788
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
789
(Ian Clatworthy)
790
791
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
792
793
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
794
795
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
796
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
797
798
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
799
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
800
Meinel)
801
802
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
803
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
804
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
805
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
806
807
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
808
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
809
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
810
811
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
812
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
813
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
814
815
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
816
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
817
818
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
819
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
820
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
821
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
822
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
823
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
824
(Ian Clatworthy)
825
826
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
827
(Alexander Belchenko)
828
829
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
830
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
831
832
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
833
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
834
835
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
836
837
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
838
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
839
840
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
841
842
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
843
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
844
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
845
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
846
847
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
848
849
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
850
(Robert Collins)
851
852
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
853
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
854
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
855
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
856
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
857
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
858
859
INTERNALS:
860
861
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
862
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
863
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
864
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
865
866
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
867
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
868
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
869
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
870
tests have been refactored too.
871
(Vincent Ladeuil)
872
873
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
874
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
875
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
876
list, it will.
877
(Vincent Ladeuil)
878
879
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
880
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
881
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
882
883
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
884
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
885
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
886
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
887
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
888
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
889
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
890
891
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
892
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
893
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
894
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
895
(John Arbash Meinel)
896
897
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
898
functionality for testing.
899
900
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
901
902
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
903
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
904
905
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
906
907
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
908
(Robert Collins)
909
910
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
911
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
912
913
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
914
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
915
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
916
917
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
918
(Aaron Bentley)
919
920
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
921
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
922
923
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
924
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
925
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
926
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
927
928
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
929
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
930
931
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
932
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
933
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
934
935
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
936
(Marius Kruger)
937
938
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
939
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
940
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
941
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
942
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
943
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
944
945
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
946
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
947
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
948
many files. (Robert Collins)
949
950
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
951
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
952
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
953
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
954
955
TESTING:
956
957
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
958
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
959
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
960
961
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
962
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
963
964
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
965
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
966
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
978
=======================
979
980
BUGFIXES:
981
982
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
983
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
984
985
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
986
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
987
(James Westby, #122656)
988
989
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
990
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
991
992
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
993
authentication header.
994
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
995
996
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
997
998
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
999
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
1000
1001
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
1002
1003
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
1004
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
1005
1006
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
1007
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
1008
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
1009
1010
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
1011
individually and as part of revision ranges.
1012
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
1013
1014
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
1015
(Martin Pool, #109169)
1016
1017
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
1018
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
1019
1020
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
1021
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
1022
1023
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1024
1025
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
1026
1027
IMPROVEMENTS:
1028
1029
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
1030
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
1031
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
1032
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
1033
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
1034
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
1035
1036
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
1037
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
1038
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
1039
1040
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
1041
(Elliot Murphy)
1042
1043
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
1044
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
1045
1046
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
1047
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
1048
1049
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
1050
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
1051
1052
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
1053
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
1054
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
1055
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
1056
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
1057
1058
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
1059
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
1060
1061
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
1062
can be slow it is useful feedback).
1063
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
1064
1065
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
1066
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
1067
1068
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
1069
1070
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
1071
output. (Aaron Bentley)
1072
1073
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
1074
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
1075
(Robert Collins)
1076
1077
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
1078
(Martin Pool)
1079
1080
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
1081
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
1082
1083
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
1084
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
1085
1086
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
1087
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
1088
1089
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
1090
1091
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
1092
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
1093
1094
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
1095
(Andrew Bennetts)
1096
1097
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
1098
1099
* Testing cleanups -
1100
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1101
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
1102
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1103
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
1104
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1105
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
1106
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1107
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
1108
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1109
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
1110
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
1111
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
1112
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1113
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
1114
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1115
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
1116
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
1117
(Robert Collins)
1118
1119
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
1120
1121
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
1122
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
1123
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
1124
1125
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
1126
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
1127
1128
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
1129
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1130
1131
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
1132
1133
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
1134
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
1135
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
1136
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
1137
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
1138
same location. (Robert Collins)
1139
1140
INTERNALS:
1141
1142
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
1143
1144
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
1145
1146
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
1147
1148
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
1149
(Martin Pool)
1150
1151
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
1152
(Martin Pool)
1153
1154
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
1155
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
1156
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
1157
1158
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
1159
1160
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
1161
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
1162
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
1163
1164
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
1165
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
1166
1167
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
1168
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
1169
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
1170
1171
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
1172
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
1173
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
1174
1175
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
1176
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
1177
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
1178
1179
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
1180
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
1181
Martin Pool)
1182
1183
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
1184
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
1185
1186
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
1187
(Alexander Belchenko)
1188
1189
TESTING:
1190
1191
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
1192
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
1193
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
1194
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1195
1196
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
1197
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
1198
testing. (Robert Collins)
1199
1200
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
1201
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
1202
1203
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
1204
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
1205
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
1206
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
1207
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
1208
attribute during the test parameterisation in
1209
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
1210
1211
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
1212
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
1213
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
1214
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
1215
1216
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
1217
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
1218
1219
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
1220
avoid useless cloning.

1239
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1240
1241
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
1242
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
1243
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
1244
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
1245
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
1246
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
1247
and unlock() like so::
1248
1249
work_tree.lock_read()
1250
try:
1251
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
1252
finally:
1253
work_tree.unlock()
1254
1255
INTERNALS:
1256
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
1257
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
1258
object.
1259
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
1260
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
1261
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
1262
1263
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
1264
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
1265
too. (Robert Collins)
1266
1267
IMPROVEMENTS:
1268
1269
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
1270
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
1271
Aaron Bentley)
1272
1273
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
1274
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
1275
1276
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
1277
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
1278
1279
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
1280
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
1281
understanding what changes have occurred
1282
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
1283
1284
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
1285
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
1286
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1287
1288
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
1289
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
1290
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
1291
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
1292
1293
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
1294
#56322)
1295
1296
BUGFIXES:
1297
1298
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
1299
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
1300
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
1301
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
1302
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
1303
1304
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
1305
based on split paths, not just string paths.
1306
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
1307
1308
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
1309
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
1310
1311
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
1312
into account.
1313
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
1314
1315
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
1316
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
1317
1318
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
1319
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
1320
1321
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
1322
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
1323
1324
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
1325
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
1326
1327
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
1328
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
1329
1330
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
1331
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
1332
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

bzr 0.16 2007-05-07
1335
====================
1336
1337
BUGFIXES:
1338
1339
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
1340
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
1341
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
1342
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
1343
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
1344
1345
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
1346
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
1347
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
1348
1349
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
1350
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
1351
1352
IMPROVEMENTS:
1353
1354
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
1355
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
1356
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
1357
1358
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
1359
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
1360
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
1361
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

1364
=======================
1365
1366
BUGFIXES:
1367
1368
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
1369
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
1370
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
1371
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
1372
1373
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
1374
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
1375
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
1376
1377
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
1378
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
1379
1380
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
1381
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
1382
1383
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
1384
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

1387
=======================
1388
1389
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1390
1391
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
1392
it could be recovered again.
1393
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
1394
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
1395
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
1396
but not delete it.
1397
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
1398
files.
1399
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
1400
(Marius Kruger, #82602)

1402
IMPROVEMENTS:
1403
1404
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
1405
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
1406
1407
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
1408
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
1409
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
1410
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
1411
1412
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
1413
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
1414
1415
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
1416
tests with names that match that regular expression.
1417
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
1418
1419
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
1420
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
1421
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
1422
1423
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
1424
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
1425
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
1426
1427
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
1428
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
1429
Robert Collins)
1430
1431
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
1432
Pool)
1433
1434
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
1435
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
1436
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
1437
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
1438
1439
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
1440
(Robert Collins)
1441
1442
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
1443
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
1444
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
1445
(Robert Collins)
1446
1447
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
1448
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
1449
1450
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
1451
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
1452
1453
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
1454
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
1455
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
1456
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
1457
(Robert Collins)
1458
1459
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
1460
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
1461
1462
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
1463
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
1464
1465
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
1466
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
1467
(Robert Collins, #107125).
1468
1469
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
1470
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
1471
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
1472
1473
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
1474
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
1475
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1476
1477
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
1478
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
1479
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
1480
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
1481
1482
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
1483
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
1484
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
1485
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
1486
1487
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
1488
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
1489
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
1490
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
1491
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
1492
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
1493
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
1494
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
1495
header(s).
1496
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1497
1498
INTERNALS:
1499
1500
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
1501
code paths. (Robert Collins)
1502
1503
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
1504
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
1505
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
1506
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
1507
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1508
1509
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
1510
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
1511
1512
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
1513
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
1514
1515
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
1516
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
1517
1518
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
1519
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
1520
1521
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
1522
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
1523
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
1524
(Robert Collins).
1525
1526
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
1527
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
1528
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
1529
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
1530
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
1531
(Robert Collins)
1532
1533
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
1534
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
1535
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
1536
1537
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
1538
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
1539
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1540
1541
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
1542
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
1543
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
1544
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1545
1546
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
1547
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
1548
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
1549
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
1550
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
1551
1552
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
1553
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
1554
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
1555
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1556
1557
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
1558
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1559
1560
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
1561
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
1562
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
1563
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
1564
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
1565
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
1566
1567
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
1568
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
1569
1570
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
1571
help. (Robert Collins)
1572
1573
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
1574
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1575
1576
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
1577
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
1578
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
1579
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
1580
(John Arbash Meinel)
1581
1582
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
1583
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
1584
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
1585
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
1586
useful. (Robert Collins)
1587
1588
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
1589
(Andrew Bennetts)
1590
1591
BUGFIXES:
1592
1593
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
1594
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
1595
1596
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
1597
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
1598
1599
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
1600
properly and is no longer beneficial.
1601
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
1602
1603
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
1604
(Aaron Bentley)
1605
1606
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
1607
the file, and does it faster.
1608
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
1609
1610
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
1611
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
1612
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
1613
1614
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
1615
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
1616
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
1617
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
1618
1619
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
1620
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
1621
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
1622
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
1623
1624
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
1625
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
1626
1627
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
1628
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
1629
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
1630
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
1631
Arbash Meinel)
1632
1633
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
1634
1635
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
1636
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
1637
1638
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
1639
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
1640
1641
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
1642
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
1643
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
1644
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
1645
security hole.
1646
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1647
1648
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
1649
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
1650
1651
TESTING:
1652
1653
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
1654
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
1655
in running it. (Robert Collins)
1656
1657
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
1658
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
1659
1660
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
1661
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
1662
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
1663
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
1664
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
1665
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
1666
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
1667
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1668
1669
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
1670
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
1671
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1672
1673
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
1674
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
1675
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
1676
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
1677
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
1678
access.
1679
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1680
1681
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
1682
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
1683
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1684
1685
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
1686
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

CHANGES:
1705
1706
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
1707
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
1708
(Martin Pool)
1709
1710
IMPROVEMENTS:
1711
1712
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
1713
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
1714
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
1715
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
1716
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
1717
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
1718
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
1719
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
1720
path. (vila)
1721
1722
INTERNALS:
1723
1724
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
1725
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
1726
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
1727
1728
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
1729
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
1730
(Martin Pool)
1731
1732
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
1733
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
1734
(John Arbash Meinel)
1735
1736
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
1737
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
1738
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
1739
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
1740
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
1741
1742
BUGFIXES:
1743
1744
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
1745
(vila, #92195)
1746
1747
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
1748
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
1749
1750
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
1751
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
1752
1753
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
1754
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
1755
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
1756
1757
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
1758
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
1759
1760
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
1761
last-changed-revision for directories. The
1762
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
1763
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
1764
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
1765
1766
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
1767
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
1768
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
1769
1770
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

1774
=======================
1775
1776
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1777
1778
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
1779
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
1780
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
1781
1782
IMPROVEMENTS:
1783
1784
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
1785
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
1786
1787
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
1788
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
1789
1790
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1791
1792
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
1793
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
1794
1795
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
1796
markers. (Aaron Bentley)

(Dmitry Vasiliev)
1802
1803
BUGFIXES:
1804
1805
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
1806
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
1807
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
1808
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
1809
1810
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
1811
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
1812
1813
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
1814
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
1815
1816
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
1817
(Marien Zwart)
1818

1824
=======================
1825
1826
SURPRISES:
1827
1828
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
1829
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
1830
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
1831
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
1832
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
1833
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
1834
1835
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
1836
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
1837
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
1838
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
1839
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
1840
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
1841
development.
1842
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1843
1844
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
1845
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
1846
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
1847
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
1848
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
1849
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
1850
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
1851
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1852
1853
IMPROVEMENTS:
1854
1855
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
1856
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
1857
1858
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
1859
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
1860
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
1861
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
1862
does exist.
1863
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
1864
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
1865
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
1866
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
1867
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
1868
1869
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
1870
(Aaron Bentley)
1871
1872
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
1873
(Aaron Bentley)
1874
1875
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
1876
(Robert Collins)
1877
1878
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
1879
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
1880
(Aaron Bentley)
1881
1882
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
1883
(Aaron Bentley)
1884
1885
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
1886
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
1887
1888
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
1889
directory. (Martin Pool)
1890
1891
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
1892
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
1893
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
1894
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
1895
1896
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
1897
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
1898
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
1899
in docs/configuration.txt.
1900
1901
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
1902
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
1903
bind location.
1904
1905
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
1906
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
1907
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
1908
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
1909
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
1910
repositories. (Martin Pool)
1911
1912
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
1913
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1914
1915
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
1916
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
1917
1918
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
1919
(Aaron Bentley)
1920
1921
INTERNALS:
1922
1923
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
1924
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
1925
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
1926
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
1927
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
1928
(John Arbash Meinel)
1929
1930
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
1931
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
1932
(Aaron Bentley)
1933
1934
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
1935
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
1936
(John Arbash Meinel)
1937
1938
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
1939
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
1940
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
1941
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
1942
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
1943
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
1944
1945
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
1946
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
1947
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
1948
1949
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
1950
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
1951
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
1952
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
1953
repository.
1954
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1955
1956
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
1957
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
1958
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
1959
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
1960
1961
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
1962
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
1963
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
1964
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
1965
1966
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
1967
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
1968
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
1969
1970
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
1971
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
1972
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
1973
1974
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
1975
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
1976
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
1977
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
1978
1979
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
1980
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
1981
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
1982
1983
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
1984
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
1985
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
1986
1987
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
1988
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
1989
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
1990
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
1991
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
1992
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
1993
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
1994
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
1995
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
1998
1999
BUGFIXES:
2000
2001
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
2002
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
2003
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
2004
2005
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
2006
(Aaron Bentley)
2007
2008
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
2009
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
2010
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
2011
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
2012
2013
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
2014
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
2015
#83954).
2016
2017
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
2018
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
2019
2020
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
2021
2022
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
2023
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
2024
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
2025
2026
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
2027
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
2028
2029
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
2030
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
2031
2032
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
2033
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
2034
2035
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
2036
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
2037
2038
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)

2041
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)

2052
IMPROVEMENTS:
2053
2054
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
2055
2056
BUG FIXES:
2057
2058
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
2059
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
2060
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
2061
2062
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
2063
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
2064
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

2067
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
2068
=======================
2069
2070
IMPROVEMENTS:
2071
2072
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
2073
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
2074
server, then you can write over the http connection.
2075
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2076
2077
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
2078
(Marius Kruger)
2079
2080
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
2081
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
2082
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2083
2084
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
2085
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
2086
2087
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
2088
(Aaron Bentley)
2089
2090
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
2091
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
2092
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
2093
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
2094
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
2095
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
2096
2097
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
2098
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
2099
should enable you to do::
2100
2101
[/home/user/project]
2102
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
2103
push_location:policy = appendpath
2104
2105
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
2106
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
2107
(James Henstridge)
2108
2109
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
2110
for each file. For example::
2111
2112
$ bzr status --short
2113
A foo
2114
A bar
2115
D baz
2116
? wooley
2117
2118
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
2119
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
2120
2121
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
2122
2123
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
2124
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
2125
2126
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
2127
2128
INTERNALS:
2129
2130
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
2131
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
2132
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
2133
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
2134
2135
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
2136
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
2137
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
2138
2139
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2140
2141
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
2142
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
2143
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
2144
(Alexander Belchenko)
2145
2146
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
2147
Pool)
2148
2149
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
2150
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
2151
2152
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
2153
2154
BUG FIXES:
2155
2156
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
2157
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
2158
2159
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
2160
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
2161
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
2162
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
2163
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
2164
2165
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
2166
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
2167
2168
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
2169
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
2170
2171
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
2172
matcher.
2173
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
2174
2175
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
2176
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
2177
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
2178
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
2179
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
2180
2181
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
2182
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
2183
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
2184
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
2185
2186
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
2187
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
2188
2189
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
2190
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
2191
2192
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
2193
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)

IMPROVEMENTS:
2208
2209
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
2210
tree from a branch.
2211
(Daniel Silverstone)
2212
2213
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
2214
operations are substantially faster.
2215
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
2216
2217
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
2218
tree from some other url. For example:
2219
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
2220
(Daniel Silverstone)
2221
2222
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
2223
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
2224
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
2225
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
2226
2227
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
2228
(Andrew Bennetts)
2229
2230
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
2231
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
2232
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
2233
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
2234
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
2235
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
2236
2237
INTERNALS:
2238
2239
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
2240
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
2241
(Martin Pool)
2242
2243
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2244
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2245
(John Arbash Meinel)
2246
2247
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
2248
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
2249
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
2250
(John Arbash Meinel)
2251
2252
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
2253
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
2254
2255
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
2256
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2257
2258
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
2259
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
2260
Bennetts)
2261
2262
BUG FIXES:
2263
2264
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
2265
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
2266
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
2267
2268
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
2269
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
2270
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
2271
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
2272
2273
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
2274
2275
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
2276
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
2277
2278
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
2279
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
2280
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
2281
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
2282
2283
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
2284
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
2285
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
2286
2287
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
2288
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
2289
them as full references rather than integers.
2290
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
2291
2292
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
2293
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
2294
2295
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
2296
2297
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
2298
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
2299
2300
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
2301
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
2302
2303
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
2304
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
2305
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
2306
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
2307
2308
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
2309
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
2310
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
2311
2312
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
2313
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
2314
2315
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
2316
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
2317
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
2318
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
2319
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
2320
2321
TESTING:
2322
2323
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
2324
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

2327
====================
2328
2329
INTERNALS:
2330
2331
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2332
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2333
(John Arbash Meinel)
2334
2335
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
2336
=======================
2337
2338
IMPROVEMENTS:
2339
2340
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
2341
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
2342
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
2343
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
2344
2345
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
2346
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
2347
2348
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
2349
2350
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
2351
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
2352
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
2353
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2354
2355
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
2356
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
2357
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
2358
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
2359
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
2360
2361
API INCOMPATABILITY:
2362
2363
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
2364
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
2365
2366
INTERNALS:
2367
2368
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
2369
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
2370
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2371
2372
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
2373
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
2374
(John Arbash Meinel)
2375
2376
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
2377
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
2378
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
2379
2380
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
2381
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
2382
(Aaron Bentley)
2383
2384
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
2385
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
2386
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2387
2388
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
2389
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
2390
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
2391
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
2392
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
2393
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2394
2395
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
2396
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
2397
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
2398
(Robert Collins)
2399
2400
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
2401
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
2402
2403
BUG FIXES:
2404
2405
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
2406
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
2407
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
2408
#63360, #66349)
2409
2410
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
2411
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
2412
2413
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
2414
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
2415
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
2416
2417
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
2418
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
2419
2420
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
2421
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
2422
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
2423
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
2424
2425
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
2426
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
2427
2428
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
2429
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
2430
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
2431
2432
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
2433
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
2434
2435
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2436
2437
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
2438
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
2439
#32054)
2440
2441
TESTING:
2442
2443
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
2444
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
2445
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
2446
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
2447
2448
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
2449
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
2450
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2451
2452
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

====================
2454
2455

2458
=======================
2459
2460
BUG FIXES:
2461
2462
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
2463
2464
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
2465
Arbash Meinel).
2466
2467
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
2468
=======================
2469
2470
IMPROVEMENTS:
2471
2472
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
2473
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
2474
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
2475
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
2476
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
2477
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
2478
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
2479
2480
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
2481
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
2482
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
2483
2484
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
2485
2486
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
2487
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
2488
2489
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
2490
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
2491
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
2492
(Robert Collins)
2493
2494
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
2495
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
2496
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
2497
(John Arbash Meinel)
2498
2499
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
2500
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
2501
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
2502
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
2503
Pool)
2504
2505
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
2506
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
2507
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
2508
(John Arbash Meinel)
2509
2510
BUG FIXES:
2511
2512
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
2513
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
2514
2515
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
2516
2517
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
2518
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
2519
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
2520
2521
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
2522
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
2523
2524
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
2525
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
2526
2527
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
2528
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
2529
2530
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
2531
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
2532
2533
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
2534
2535
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
2536
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
2537
2538
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
2539
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
2540
2541
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
2542
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
2543
2544
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
2545
(John Arbash Meinel)
2546
2547
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
2548
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
2549
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
2550
2551
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
2552
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2553
2554
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
2555
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
2556
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
2557
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
2558
2559
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
2560
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
2561
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
2562
2563
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
2564
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
2565
2566
PORTABILITY:
2567
2568
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
2569
2570
INTERNALS:
2571
2572
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
2573
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
2574
(John Arbash Meinel)
2575
2576
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
2577
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
2578
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
2579
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2580
2581
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
2582
(Andrew Bennetts)
2583
2584
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
2585
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
2586
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
2587
2588
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
2589
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
2590
2591
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
2592
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
2593
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
2594
2595
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
2596
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
2597
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
2598
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
2599
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
2600
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
2601
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
2602
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
2603
caller to repeat their request.
2604
(John Arbash Meinel)
2605
2606
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
2607
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
2608
2609
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
2610
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
2611
2612
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
2613
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
2614
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
2615
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
2616
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
2617
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
2618
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
2619
2620
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
2621
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
2622
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
2623
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
2624
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
2625
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
2626
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
2627
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
2628
(Robert Collins)
2629
2630
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
2631
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
2632
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
2633
2634
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
2635
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
2636
2637
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
2638
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
2639
2640
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
2641
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2642
2643
TESTING:
2644
2645
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
2646
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
2647
2648
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
2649
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
2650
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2651
2652
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
2653
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
2654
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2655
2656
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
2657
====================
2658
2659
IMPROVEMENTS:
2660
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
2661
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
2662
2663
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
2664
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
2665
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
2666
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
2667
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
2668
2669
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
2670
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
2671
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
2672
2673
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
2674
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
2675
2676
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
2677
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
2678
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2679
2680
BUG FIXES:
2681
2682
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
2683
2684
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
2685
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
2686
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
2687
2688
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
2689
2690
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
2691
2692
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
2693
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
2694
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
2695
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
2696
2697
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
2698
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
2699
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
2700
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
2701
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
2702
2703
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
2704
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
2705
2706
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
2707
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
2708
2709
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
2710
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
2711
2712
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
2713
in handling of revision properties.
2714

2716
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
2717
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
2718
2719
INTERNALS:
2720
2721
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
2722
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
2723
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
2724
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
2725
(John Arbash Meinel)
2726
2727
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
2728
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
2729
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
2730
2731
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
2732
=====================
2733
2734
SURPRISES:
2735
2736
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
2737
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
2738
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
2739
specific one '.bzrignore'.
2740
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
2741
a more conservative list than the old default.
2742
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
2743
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
2744
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
2745
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
2746
2747
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
2748
to more locations than just branch locations.
2749
(Aaron Bentley)
2750
2751
IMPROVEMENTS:
2752
2753
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
2754
revno:N:branch. For example,
2755
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
2756
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
2757
2758
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
2759
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
2760
the path of a file that has been versioned.
2761
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
2762
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
2763
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
2764
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
2765
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
2766
#42517, #42514)
2767
2768
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
2769
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
2770
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
2771
(Malone #3507)
2772
2773
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
2774
(Alexander Belchenko)
2775
2776
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
2777
2778
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
2779
(Robert Collins).
2780
2781
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
2782
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
2783
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
2784
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
2785
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
2786
(John Arbash Meinel)
2787
2788
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
2789
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
2790
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
2791
grained analysis of performance.
2792
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2793
2794
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
2795
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
2796
2797
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
2798
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
2799
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
2800
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
2801
file. (Robert Collins).
2802
2803
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
2804
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
2805
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
2806
2807
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
2808
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
2809
Matthieu Moy)
2810
2811
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
2812
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
2813
2814
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
2815
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
2816
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
2817
the same way you would apply another branch.
2818
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
2819
2820
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
2821
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
2822
2823
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
2824
(Michael Ellerman)
2825
2826
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
2827
(Aaron Bentley)
2828
2829
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
2830
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
2831
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
2832
2833
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
2834
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
2835
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
2836
2837
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
2838
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
2839
2840
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
2841
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
2842
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
2843
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
2844
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
2845
2846
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
2847
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
2848
2849
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
2850
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
2851
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
2852
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
2853
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
2854
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
2855
branch is as much as 4x faster.
2856
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
2857
2858
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
2859
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
2860
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
2861
2862
BUG FIXES:
2863
2864
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
2865
tests not to run.
2866
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
2867
2868
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
2869
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2870
2871
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
2872
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
2873
2874
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
2875
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
2876
2877
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
2878
2879
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
2880
(John Arbash Meinel)
2881
2882
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
2883
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
2884
2885
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
2886
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
2887
and y.
2888
2889
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
2890
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
2891
2892
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
2893
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
2894
2895
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
2896
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
2897
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
2898
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
2899
2900
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
2901
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
2902
2903
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
2904
2905
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
2906
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
2907
2908
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
2909
2910
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
2911
2912
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
2913
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
2914
2915
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
2916
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
2917
2918
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
2919
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
2920
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
2921
2922
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
2923
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
2924
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
2925
2926
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
2927
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
2928
2929
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
2930
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
2931
2932
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
2933
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
2934
2935
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
2936
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
2937
2938
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
2939
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
2940
2941
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
2942
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
2943
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
2944
2945
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
2946
2947
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
2948
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
2949
2950
INTERNALS:
2951
2952
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
2953
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
2954
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
2955
2956
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
2957
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
2958
2959
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
2960
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
2961
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2962
2963
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
2964
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2965
2966
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
2967
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
2968
(Martin Pool)
2969
2970
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
2971
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
2972
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2973
2974
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
2975
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
2976
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2977
2978
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
2979
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
2980
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
2981
2982
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
2983
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
2984
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
2985
2986
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
2987
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
2988
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
2989
2990
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
2991
instead. (Robert Collins)
2992
2993
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

3050
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
3051
===================
3052
3053
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3054
3055
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
3056
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
3057
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
3058
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
3059
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
3060
will keep the same format.
3061
3062
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
3063
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
3064
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
3065
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
3066
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
3067
3068
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
3069
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
3070
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
3071
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
3072
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
3073
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
3074
indicating the current revision of the branch.
3075
3076
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
3077
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
3078
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
3079
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
3080
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
3081
3082
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
3083
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
3084
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
3085
arrangement.
3086
3087
3088
IMPROVEMENTS:
3089
3090
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
3091
convention. Paths now take the form::
3092
3093
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
3094
or
3095
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
3096
3097
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
3098
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
3099
3100
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
3101
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
3102
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
3103
3104
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
3105
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
3106
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
3107
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
3108
3109
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
3110
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
3111
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
3112
3113
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
3114
3115
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
3116
3117
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
3118
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
3119
commits::
3120
3121
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
3122
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
3123
| xargs bzr re-sign
3124
3125
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
3126
3127
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
3128
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
3129
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
3130
(Robert Collins)
3131
3132
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
3133
3134
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
3135
3136
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
3137
'.moved'.
3138
3139
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
3140
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
3141
3142
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
3143
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
3144
Daniel Silverstone)
3145
3146
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
3147
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
3148
Martin Pool)
3149
3150
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
3151
3152
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
3153
3154
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
3155
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
3156
3157
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
3158
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
3159
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
3160
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
3161
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
3162
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
3163
3164
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
3165
3166
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
3167
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
3168
(Robert Collins)
3169
3170
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
3171
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
3172
3173
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
3174
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
3175
3176
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
3177
3178
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
3179
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
3180
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
3181
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
3182
specification by Martin Pool.
3183
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
3184
3185
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
3186
Belchenko)
3187
3188
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
3189
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3190
3191
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
3192
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
3193
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
3194
3195
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
3196
3197
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
3198
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
3199
(Robert Collins)
3200
3201
CHANGES:
3202
3203
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
3204
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3205
3206
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
3207
3208
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
3209
3210
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
3211
(Olaf Conradi)
3212
3213
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
3214
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
3215
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
3216
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
3217
3218
INTERNALS:
3219
3220
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
3221
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
3222
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
3223
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3224
3225
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
3226
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
3227
tried. (Martin Pool)
3228
3229
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
3230
(Martin Pool)
3231
3232
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
3233
3234
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
3235
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
3236
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
3237
3238
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
3239
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
3240
3241
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
3242
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
3243
paths. (Robert Collins)
3244
3245
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
3246
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
3247
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
3248
3249
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
3250
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
3251
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
3252
3253
* Progress bars are now nested - see
3254
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
3255
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3256
3257
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
3258
(Olaf Conradi)
3259
3260
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
3261
(Olaf Conradi)
3262
3263
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
3264
3265
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
3266
3267
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
3268
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
3269
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
3270
(Robert Collins)
3271
3272
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
3273
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
3274
3275
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
3276
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
3277
check. (Robert Collins)
3278
3279
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
3280
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
3281
3282
TESTING:
3283
3284
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
3285
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
3286
3287
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
3288
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
3289
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
3290
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
3291
3292
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
3293
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
3294
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
3295
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
3296
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
3297
3298
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
3299
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
3300
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
3301
3302
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
3303
3304
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
3305
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
3306

bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
3308
==================
3309
3310
CHANGES:
3311
3312
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
3313
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
3314
3315
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
3316
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
3317
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
3318
(Johan Rydberg)
3319
3320
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
3321
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
3322
3323
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
3324
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
3325
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
3326
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
3327
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3328
3329
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
3330
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
3331
used. (Robert Collins)
3332
3333
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
3334
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
3335
(James Henstridge)
3336
3337
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
3338
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
3339
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
3340
3341
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
3342
ignore list.
3343
3344
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
3345
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
3346
3347
IMPROVEMENTS:
3348
3349
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
3350
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
3351
3352
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
3353
3354
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
3355
3356
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
3357
tree. (Robert Collins)
3358
3359
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
3360
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
3361
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
3362
(Robert Collins)
3363
3364
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
3365
that they be kept.
3366
3367
* Tweaks to short log printing
3368
3369
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
3370
(Aaron Bentley)
3371
3372
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
3373
occurs. (Martin Pool)
3374
3375
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
3376
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
3377
3378
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
3379
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
3380
3381
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
3382
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
3383
settings. (Magnus Therning)
3384
3385
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
3386
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3387
3388
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
3389
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
3390
requests.
3391
3392
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
3393
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
3394
3395
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
3396
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
3397
3398
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
3399
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
3400
3401
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
3402
(Denys Duchier)
3403
3404
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
3405
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
3406
3407
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
3408
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
3409
3410
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
3411
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
3412
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
3413
3414
BUG FIXES:
3415
3416
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
3417
3418
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3419
3420
* Error when run with -OO
3421
3422
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
3423
(Martin Pool)
3424
3425
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
3426
3427
* Change status to 3 for all errors
3428
3429
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
3430
ignored by diff and status
3431
3432
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
3433
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
3434
3435
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
3436
3437
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
3438
3439
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
3440
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
3441
3442
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
3443
email address. (Marien Zwart)
3444
3445
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
3446
(Harald Meland)
3447
3448
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
3449
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3450
3451
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
3452
3453
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
3454
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
3455
3456
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
3457
(Martin Pool)
3458
3459
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
3460
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
3461
3462
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
3463
3464
TESTING:
3465
3466
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
3467
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
3468
3469
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3470
3471
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3472
3473
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
3474
3475
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
3476
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
3477
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3478
3479
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3480
3481
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
3482
(John Arbash Meinel)
3483
3484
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
3485
3486
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
3487
If adding a new test script please add that to
3488
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
3489
3490
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
3491
imported. (Martin Pool)
3492
3493
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
3494
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
3495
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
3496
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
3497
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
3498
(Robert Collins)
3499
3500
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
3501
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
3502
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
3503
3504
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
3505
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
3506
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3507
3508
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
3509
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
3510
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
3511
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
3512
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
3513
(Robert Collins).
3514
3515
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
3516
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
3517
(Robert Collins).
3518
3519
INTERNALS:
3520
3521
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
3522
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
3523
3524
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
3525
function. (Robert Collins)
3526
3527
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
3528
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
3529
if needed). (Robert Collins)
3530
3531
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
3532
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
3533
(Robert Collins)
3534
3535
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
3536
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
3537
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
3538
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
3539
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
3540
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
3541
version. (Robert Collins)
3542
3543
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
3544
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
3545
3546
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
3547
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
3548
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
3549
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
3550
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
3551
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
3552
3553
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
3554
(Robert Collins)
3555
3556
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
3557
3558
add()
3559
commit()
3560
move()
3561
rename_one()
3562
unknowns()
3563
3564
(Robert Collins)
3565
3566
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
3567
3568
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
3569
3570
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
3571
Pool)
3572
3573
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
3574
query method. (Robert Collins)
3575
3576
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
3577
(Denys Duchier)
3578
3579
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
3580
(Michael Ellerman)
3581
3582
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
3583
(Michael Ellerman)
3584
3585
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
3586
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
3587
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
3588
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
3589
3590
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
3591
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
3592
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
3593
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
3594
3595
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
3596
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
3597

bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
3599
==================
3600
3601
IMPROVEMENTS:
3602
3603
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
3604
(John A Meinel)
3605
3606
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
3607
conflicts.
3608
(Aaron Bentley)
3609
3610
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
3611
a separator, not ':'.
3612
(Aaron Bentley)
3613
3614
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
3615
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
3616
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
3617
3618
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
3619
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
3620
(Robert Collins)
3621
3622
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
3623
has been added that suppresses all output.
3624
3625
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
3626
Adams.
3627
3628
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
3629
Goffredo Baroncelli.
3630
3631
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
3632
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
3633
3634
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
3635
a revision. (Robert Collins)
3636
3637
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
3638
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
3639
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
3640
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
3641
3642
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
3643
3644
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
3645
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
3646
3647
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
3648
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
3649
3650
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
3651
output directory, if one was supplied.
3652
3653
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
3654
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
3655
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
3656
parameters. (Robert Collins)
3657
3658
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
3659
3660
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
3661
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
3662
3663
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
3664
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
3665
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
3666
3667
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
3668
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
3669
3670
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
3671
(Aaron Bentley)
3672
3673
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
3674
3675
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
3676
3677
TESTING:
3678
3679
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
3680
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
3681
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
3682
3683
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
3684
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
3685
related questions. (Robert Collins)
3686
3687
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
3688
is given. (Martin Pool)
3689
3690
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
3691
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
3692
file. (Robert Collins)
3693
3694
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
3695
(Martin Pool)
3696
3697
INTERNALS:
3698
3699
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
3700
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
3701
representation. (Martin Pool).
3702
3703
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
3704
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
3705
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
3706
3707
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3708
(Robert Collins)
3709
3710
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
3711
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
3712
Magnus Therning.
3713
3714
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3715
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
3716
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
3717
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
3718
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
3719
3720
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
3721
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
3722
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
3723
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
3724
python path. (Robert Collins)
3725
3726
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
3727
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
3728
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
3729
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
3730
3731
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
3732
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
3733
3734
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
3735
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
3736
(Robert Collins)
3737
3738
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
3739
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
3740
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
3741
3742
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
3743
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
3744
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
3745
3746
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3747
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3748
3749
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
3750
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
3751
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
3752
(Robert Collins)
3753
3754
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
3755
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
3756
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
3757
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
3758
(Robert Collins)
3759
3760
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
3761
(Robert Collins)
3762
3763
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
3764
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
3765
(Robert Collins)
3766
3767
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
3768
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
3769
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
3770
3771
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
3772
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
3773
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
3774
3775
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
3776
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
3777
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
3778
3779
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3780
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3781
3782
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
3783
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
3784
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
3785
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
3786
caller. (Robert Collins)
3787
3788
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
3789
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
3790
(Robert Collins).
3791
3792
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
3793
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
3794
(Aaron Bentley)
3795
3796
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
3797
3798
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
3799
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
3800
3801
BUG FIXES:
3802
3803
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
3804
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
3805
3806
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
3807
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
3808
3809
3810
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
3811
====================
3812
3813
BUG FIXES:
3814
3815
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
3816
allow directories to be listed.
3817
3818
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
3819
upgrading branch format.
3820
3821
PERFORMANCE:
3822
3823
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
3824
3825
3826
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
3827
==================
3828
3829
NOTES:
3830
3831
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
3832
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
3833
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
3834
high-latency connections.
3835
3836
BUG FIXES:
3837
3838
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
3839
Rob Weir.
3840
3841
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
3842
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
3843
3844
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
3845
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
3846
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
3847
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3848
3849
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
3850
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
3851
3852
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
3853
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
3854
3855
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
3856
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
3857
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3858
3859
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
3860
for files with only a change to their executable status.
3861
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
3862
Robert Collins
3863
3864
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
3865
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
3866
3867
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
3868
different partial views of history.
3869
3870
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
3871
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
3872
3873
IMPROVEMENTS:
3874
3875
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
3876
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
3877
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3878
3879
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
3880
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
3881
'bzr upgrade'.
3882
3883
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
3884
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
3885
3886
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
3887
Niemeyer.
3888
3889
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
3890
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
3891
3892
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
3893
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
3894
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
3895
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3896
3897
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
3898
3899
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
3900
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
3901
Gustavo Niemeyer.
3902
3903
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
3904
Contributed by Robert Collins.
3905
3906
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
3907
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
3908
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
3909
3910
3911
INTERNALS:
3912
3913
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
3914
for your viewing pleasure.
3915
3916
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
3917
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
3918
3919
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
3920
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
3921
handling of such circumstances.
3922
3923
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
3924
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
3925
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
3926
3927
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
3928
3929
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
3930
we call them revisions not patches.
3931
3932
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
3933
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
3934
3935
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
3936
giving the revision *of that file*.
3937
3938
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
3939
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
3940
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
3941
3942
TESTING:
3943
3944
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
3945
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
3946
3947
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
3948
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
3949
3950
3951
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
3952
====================
3953
3954
BUG FIXES:
3955
3956
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
3957
3958
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
3959
(Robert Collins).
3960
3961
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
3962
3963
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
3964
3965
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
3966
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3967
3968
IMPROVEMENTS:
3969
3970
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
3971
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
3972
3973
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
3974
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
3975
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
3976
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
3977
Robey Pointer
3978
3979
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
3980
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3981
3982
INTERNALS:
3983
3984
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
3985
3986
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
3987
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
3988
3989
3990
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
3991
====================
3992
3993
IMPROVEMENTS:
3994
3995
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
3996
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
3997
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
3998
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
3999
Michael Ellerman.
4000
4001
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
4002
(Nir Soffer)
4003
4004
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
4005
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
4006
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
4007
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
4008
for the operating system is still tried.
4009
4010
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
4011
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
4012
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
4013
4014
4015
INTERNALS:
4016
4017
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
4018
4019
BUG FIXES:
4020
4021
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
4022
4023
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
4024
branch.
4025
4026
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
4027
read.
4028
4029
4030
PORTABILITY:
4031
4032
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
4033
4034
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
4035
4036
4037
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
4038
====================
4039
4040
NEW FEATURES:
4041
4042
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
4043
help with intelligent shell completion.
4044
4045
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
4046
4047
4048
ENHANCEMENTS:
4049
4050
* Much better merge support.
4051
4052
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
4053
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
4054
like emacs smerge.
4055
4056
4057
BUG FIXES:
4058
4059
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
4060
mention revisions that are not present.
4061
4062
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
4063
4064
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
4065
4066
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
4067
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
4068
4069
4070
CHANGES:
4071
4072
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
4073
4074
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
4075
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
4076
--help themselves.
4077
4078
4079
LIBRARY:
4080
4081
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
4082
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
4083
libraries.
4084
4085
4086
4087
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
4088
====================
4089
4090
NEW FEATURES:
4091
4092
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
4093
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
4094
4095
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
4096
4097
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
4098
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
4099
4100
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
4101
FOO.
4102
4103
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
4104
4105
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
4106
the Unix command.
4107
4108
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
4109
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
4110
4111
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
4112
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
4113
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
4114
4115
4116
ENHANCEMENTS:
4117
4118
* Faster working tree operations.
4119
4120
4121
CHANGES:
4122
4123
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
4124
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
4125
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
4126
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
4127
4128
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
4129
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
4130
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
4131
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
4132
standard plugins directory.
4133
4134
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
4135
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
4136
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
4137
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
4138
4139
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
4140
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
4141
4142
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
4143
disk.
4144
4145
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
4146
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
4147
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
4148
4149
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
4150
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
4151
4152
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
4153
line options must come before the command name because they
4154
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
4155
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
4156
it.
4157
4158
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
4159
4160
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
4161
is available with ``--short``.
4162
4163
4164
BUG FIXES:
4165
4166
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.

bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
4170
=====================
4171
4172
CHANGES:
4173
4174
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
4175
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4176
4177
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
4178
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
4179
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
4180
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
4181
4182
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
4183
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
4184
with the ``--forward`` option.
4185
4186
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
4187
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
4188
field.
4189
4190
4191
ENHANCEMENTS:
4192
4193
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
4194
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
4195
4196
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
4197
4198
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
4199
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
4200
4201
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
4202
4203
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
4204
either read or write mode.
4205
4206
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
4207
4208
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
4209
affected that file.
4210
4211
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
4212
4213
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
4214
suggested by LarstiQ.
4215
4216
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
4217
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
4218
4219
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
4220
a filename.
4221
4222
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
4223
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
4224
4225
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
4226
haven't changed since the previous time.
4227
4228
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
4229
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
4230
4231
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
4232
4233
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
4234
4235
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
4236
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
4237
4238
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
4239
options through to an external GNU diff.
4240
4241
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
4242
their contents.
4243
4244
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
4245
from a branch.
4246
4247
4248
BUG FIXES:
4249
4250
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
4251
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
4252
4253
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
4254
metacharacters.
4255
4256
4257
TESTING:
4258
4259
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
4260
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
4261
the tests.
4262
4263
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
4264
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
4265
4266
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
4267
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
4268
4269
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
4270
under a different version.
4271
4272
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
4273
4274
4275
INTERNAL:
4276
4277
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
4278
4279
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
4280
Scott James Remnant.
4281
4282
* Better help messages for many commands.
4283
4284
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
4285
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
4286
4287
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
4288
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
4289
4290
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
4291
4292
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
4293
4294
* New AtomicFile class.
4295
4296
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
4297
4298
4299
PORTABILITY:
4300
4301
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
4302
2.4 is now only recommended.

4319
4320

CHANGES:
4327
4328
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
4329
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
4330
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
4331
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
4332
there are DNS problems.
4333
4334
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
