BUGFIXES:
4
5
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
6
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
7
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
8
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
9
10
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
11
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
18
19
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
20
it could be recovered again.
21
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
22
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
23
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
24
but not delete it.
25
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
26
files.
27
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.

IMPROVEMENTS:

31
5
32
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
6
33
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
7
34
35
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
36
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
37
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
38
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
39
40
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
41
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
42
43
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
44
tests with names that match that regular expression.
45
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
46
47
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
48
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
49
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
50
51
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
52
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
53
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
54
55
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
56
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
57
Robert Collins)
58
59
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
60
Pool)
61
62
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
63
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
64
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
65
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
66
67
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
68
(Robert Collins)
69
70
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
71
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
72
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
73
(Robert Collins)
74
75
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
76
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
77
78
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
79
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
80
81
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
82
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
83
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
84
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
85
(Robert Collins)
86
87
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
88
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
89
90
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
91
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
92
93
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
94
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
95
(Robert Collins, #107125).
96
97
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
98
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
99
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
100
101
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
102
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
103
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
104
105
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
106
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
107
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
108
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
109
110
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
111
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
112
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
113
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
114
115
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
116
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
117
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
118
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
119
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
120
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
121
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
122
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
123
header(s).
124

INTERNALS:
9
127
10
128
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
16
134
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
17
135
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
18
136
19
* Deprecate Branch.get_root_id() because branches don't have root ids,
137
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
20
138
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
21
139
22
* WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta provides a better alternative to
23
WorkingTree._write_inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
140
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
141
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
24
142
25
* Convenience method TestCase.expectFailure ensures that known failures
143
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
26
144
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
27
145
146
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
147
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
148
28
149
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
29
in bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks. The two initial hooks allow
150
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
30
151
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
31
152
(Robert Collins).
32
153
40
161
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
41
162
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
42
163
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
164
165
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
166
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
167
(Vincent Ladeuil).
168
169
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
170
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
171
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
172
(Vincent Ladeuil).
173
174
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
175
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
176
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
177
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
178
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
43
179
180
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
181
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
182
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
183
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
184
185
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
186
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
187
188
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
189
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
190
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
191
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
192
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
193
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
194
195
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
196
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
197
198
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
199
help. (Robert Collins)
200
201
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
202
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
203
204
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
205
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
206
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
207
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
208
(John Arbash Meinel)
209
210
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
211
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
212
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
213
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
214
useful. (Robert Collins)
215
216
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
217

50
225
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
51
226
52
227

53
properly and is no longer beneficial. Fixes #53675 and #43486.

231
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
57
232
(Aaron Bentley)
58
233
234
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
235
the file, and does it faster.
236
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
237
238
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
239
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
240
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
241
59
242
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
60
243
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
61
244
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
66
249
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
67
250
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
68
251
252
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
253
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
254
255
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
256
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
257
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
258
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
259
Arbash Meinel)
260
261
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
262
263
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
264
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
265
266
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
267
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
268
269
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
270
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
271
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
272
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
273
security hole.
274
(Vincent Ladeuil)
275
276
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
277
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).

TESTING:
70
280
71
281
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
75
285
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
76
286
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
77
287
78
* Add new vfs_transport_factory attribute on tests which provides the
288
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
79
289
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
80
290
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
81
and use the existing transport_server attribute all tests know about
291
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
82
292
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
83
293
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
84
294
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
85
295
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
86
296
87
297
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
88
lightweight checkout for the tree if the vfs_transport_factory is not
298
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
89
299
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
90

97
307
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
98
308
309
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
310
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
311
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
312
313
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
314
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree

api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
245
461
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
246
lock_read/lock_write/lock_tree_write has been called, and become invalid
247
again after unlock is called. This has been done to improve performance
248
and correctness as part of the dirstate development. (Robert Collins,
