5
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
6
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
8
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
11
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
12
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
13
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
14
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
16
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
19
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
20
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
21
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
24
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
25
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
27
* digest authentication is now supported for proxy and http.
32
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
33
code paths. (Robert Collins)
35
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
36
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
37
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
38
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
39
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
41
* Deprecate Branch.get_root_id() because branches don't have root ids,
42
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
44
* WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta provides a better alternative to
45
WorkingTree._write_inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
47
* Convenience method TestCase.expectFailure ensures that known failures
48
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
50
* Transport.local_abspath now raises NotLocalUrl rather than
51
TransportNotPossible. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
53
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
54
in bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks. The two initial hooks allow
55
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
58
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
59
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
60
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
61
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
62
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
65
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
66
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
67
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
69
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
70
401 (and 407) errors once the the authentication succeeds.
73
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
74
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
75
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
78
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
79
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
80
consistent with its new home in bzrlib/transport/remote.py, and because
81
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
82
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
84
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
85
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
86
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
87
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
89
* New method 'get_branch_reference' on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
90
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
92
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
93
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
94
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
95
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
96
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
97
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
99
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
100
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
104
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
105
(#98510, Ian Clatworthy)
107
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
108
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
110
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
111
properly and is no longer beneficial. Fixes #53675 and #43486.
114
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
117
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
118
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
119
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
121
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
122
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
123
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
124
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
126
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
127
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
128
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
129
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
131
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
132
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
134
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
136
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
137
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
139
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
140
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
142
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
143
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
144
may expose their password in the clear. This add one roundtrip in case
145
basic authentication should be used, but plug the security
146
hole. (Vincent Ladeuil)
148
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
149
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
153
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
154
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
155
in running it. (Robert Collins)
157
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
158
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
160
* Add new vfs_transport_factory attribute on tests which provides the
161
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
162
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
163
and use the existing transport_server attribute all tests know about
164
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
165
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
166
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
167
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
169
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
170
lightweight checkout for the tree if the vfs_transport_factory is not
171
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
173
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
174
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
175
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
176
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
177
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
179
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
181
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
182
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
190
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
193
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
194
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
197
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
201
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
202
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
207
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
208
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
209
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
210
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
211
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
212
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
213
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
214
bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections provide an easy transition
219
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
220
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
221
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
223
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to BzrDir.open_workingtree
224
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
227
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
228
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
231
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
232
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
233
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
234
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
235
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
239
* Take smtp_server from user config into account.
242
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
243
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
245
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
246
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
248
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
249
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
250
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
252
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
253
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
255
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
256
last-changed-revision for directories. The
257
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the parent_id and name,
258
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
259
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
261
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
262
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
263
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
265
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
269
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
271
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
273
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
274
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
275
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
279
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
280
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
282
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
283
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
285
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
287
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
288
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
290
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
291
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
295
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
300
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
301
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
302
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
303
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
305
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
306
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
308
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
309
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
311
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
314
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
315
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
318
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
322
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
323
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
324
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
325
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
326
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
327
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
329
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
330
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
331
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
332
lock_read/lock_write/lock_tree_write has been called, and become invalid
333
again after unlock is called. This has been done to improve performance
334
and correctness as part of the dirstate development. (Robert Collins,
335
John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
337
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
338
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
339
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
340
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
341
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
342
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
343
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
344
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
348
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
349
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
351
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
352
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
353
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
354
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
356
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
357
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
358
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
359
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
360
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
362
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
365
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
368
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
371
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
372
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
375
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
378
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
379
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
381
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
382
directory. (Martin Pool)
384
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
385
"append_history_only" mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
386
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
387
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
389
* append_only branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
390
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
391
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
392
in docs/configuration.txt.
394
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
395
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
398
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
399
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
400
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
401
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
402
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
403
repositories. (Martin Pool)
405
* The bzr:// transport now has a well-known port number, 4155, which it will
406
use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
408
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
409
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
411
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
416
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
417
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
418
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
419
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
420
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
423
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
424
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
427
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
428
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
431
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
432
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - 'set_rh',
433
'post_push', 'post_pull', 'post_commit', 'post_uncommit'. These hooks
434
fire after the matching operation on a branch has taken place, and were
435
originally added for the branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
437
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
438
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
439
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
441
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
442
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
443
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
444
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
446
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
448
* New Branch.last_revision_info method, this is being done to allow
449
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
450
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
451
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
453
* Allow 'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME' to work when the plugin NAME has not
454
yet been loaded by load_plugins(). This allows plugins to depend on each
455
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
456
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
458
* New Repository method 'gather_stats' for statistic data collection.
459
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
460
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
462
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
463
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
464
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
466
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
467
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
468
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
469
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
471
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
472
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
473
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
475
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
476
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
477
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
479
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
480
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
481
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
482
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
483
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
484
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
485
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
486
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
487
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
488
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
489
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
493
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
494
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
495
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
497
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
500
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
501
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
502
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
503
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
505
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
506
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
509
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
510
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
512
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
514
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable (CURL_CA_BUNDLE),
515
and on win32 along the PATH. (Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
517
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
518
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
520
* Raise DependencyNotPresent if pycurl do not support https. (Vincent
523
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
524
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
526
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
527
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
529
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
531
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
532
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
536
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
537
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
544
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
548
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
549
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
550
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
552
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
553
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
554
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
557
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
561
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
562
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
563
server, then you can write over the http connection.
564
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
566
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
569
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
570
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
571
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
573
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
574
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
576
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
579
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
580
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
581
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
582
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
583
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
584
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
586
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
587
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
588
should enable you to do::
591
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
592
push_location:policy = appendpath
594
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
595
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
598
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
599
for each file. For example::
607
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
608
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
610
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
612
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
613
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
615
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
619
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
620
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
621
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
622
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
624
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
625
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
626
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
628
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
630
* When 'encoding_type' attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
631
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
632
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
633
(Alexander Belchenko)
635
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
638
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
639
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
641
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
645
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
646
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
648
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
649
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
650
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
651
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
652
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
654
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. \\HOST\path).
655
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
657
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
658
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
660
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
662
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
664
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
665
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
666
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
667
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
668
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
670
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
671
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
672
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
673
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
675
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
676
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
678
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
679
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
681
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
682
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
684
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
685
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)
690
No changes from 0.13rc1
692
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
696
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
700
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
701
operations are substantially faster.
702
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
704
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
705
tree from some other url. For example:
706
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
709
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
710
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
711
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
712
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
714
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
717
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
718
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
719
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
720
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
721
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
722
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
726
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
727
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
730
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
731
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
734
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
735
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
736
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
739
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
740
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
742
* New method 'get_branch_reference' on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
743
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
745
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
746
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
751
* Now _KnitIndex properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
752
And optimize the knit index parsing code. (Dmitry Vasiliev, John
755
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
756
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
757
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
758
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
760
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
762
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
763
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
765
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
766
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
767
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
768
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
770
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
771
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
772
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
774
* _KnitIndex.add_versions() dictionary compresses revision ids as they
775
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
776
them as full references rather than integers. (John Arbash Meinel,
779
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
780
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
782
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
784
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
785
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
787
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
788
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
790
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
791
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
792
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
793
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
795
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
796
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
797
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
799
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
800
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
802
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
803
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
804
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
805
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
806
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
810
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
811
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
817
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
818
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
821
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
825
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
826
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
827
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
828
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
830
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
831
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
833
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
835
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
836
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
837
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
838
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
840
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
841
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
842
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
843
to allow modules to be loaded on request. (John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato
848
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
849
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
853
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
854
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
855
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
857
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
858
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
861
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
862
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
863
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
865
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
866
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
869
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
870
pass in inventory.ROOT_ID if you want the default root id value.
871
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
873
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
874
inventory out to disk. At the same time, read_working_inventory will
875
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
876
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
877
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
878
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
880
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
881
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
882
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
885
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
886
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
890
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
891
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
892
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
895
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
896
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
898
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
899
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
900
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
902
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
903
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
905
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
906
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
907
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
908
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
910
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
911
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
913
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
914
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
915
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
917
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
918
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
920
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
922
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
923
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
928
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
929
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
930
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
931
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
933
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
934
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
935
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
939
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
941
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
945
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
947
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
950
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
954
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
955
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
956
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
957
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
958
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
959
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
960
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
962
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
963
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
964
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
966
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
968
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
969
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
971
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
972
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
973
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
976
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
977
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
978
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
981
* Support bzr:// and bzr+ssh:// urls to work with the new RPC-based
982
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
983
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
984
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
987
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
988
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
989
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
994
* 'bzr inventory [FILE...]' allows restricting the file list to a
995
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
997
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
999
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
1000
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
1001
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
1003
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
1004
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
1006
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
1007
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
1009
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
1010
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
1012
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
1013
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
1015
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
1017
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
1018
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
1020
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
1021
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
1023
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
1024
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
1026
* Don't use preexec_fn on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
1027
(John Arbash Meinel)
1029
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
1030
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
1031
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
1033
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
1034
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1036
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
1037
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
1038
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
1039
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
1041
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
1042
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
1043
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
1045
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
1046
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
1050
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
1054
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
1055
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
1056
(John Arbash Meinel)
1058
* run_bzr_subprocess() can take an optional 'env_changes={}' parameter,
1059
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
1060
take a 'universal_newlines=True', which helps when checking the output
1061
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1063
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
1066
* Transport.list_dir() and Transport.iter_files_recursive() should always
1067
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
1068
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
1070
* New utility function symbol_versioning.deprecation_string. Returns the
1071
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
1073
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
1074
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
1075
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
1077
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
1078
.append_bytes, .append_file, .put_bytes, and .put_file. This removes the
1079
ambiguity in what type of object the functions take.
1080
Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file} has also been added. Which works
1081
similarly to Transport.append() except for SFTP, it doesn't have a round
1082
trip when opening the file. Also, it provides functionality for creating
1083
a parent directory when trying to create a file, rather than raise
1084
NoSuchFile and forcing the caller to repeat their request.
1085
(John Arbash Meinel)
1087
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
1088
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
1090
* WorkingTree.pending_merges is deprecated. Please use the get_parent_ids
1091
(introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
1093
* WorkingTree has a new lock_tree_write method which locks the branch for
1094
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
1095
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
1096
needs_tree_write_lock is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
1097
needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock decorators this allows static
1098
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
1099
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
1101
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
1102
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
1103
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
1104
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
1105
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
1106
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
1107
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
1108
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
1111
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
1112
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
1113
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
1115
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
1116
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
1118
* New methods mkdir and put_file_bytes_non_atomic on MutableTree that
1119
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
1121
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
1122
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1126
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
1127
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
1129
* Add start_bzr_subprocess and stop_bzr_subprocess to allow test code to
1130
continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr. (Andrew Bennetts,
1133
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
1134
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
1135
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1140
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
1141
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
1143
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
1144
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
1145
the 'action' passed to smart_add_tree() can return file_ids that
1146
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
1147
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
1149
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
1150
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
1151
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
1153
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
1154
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
1156
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
1157
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
1158
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1162
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
1164
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
1165
lock_write() is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
1166
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
1168
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
1170
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
1172
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
1173
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
1174
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
1175
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
1177
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
1178
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
1179
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
1180
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
1181
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
1183
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
1184
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
1186
* Use GPG_TTY to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
1187
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
1189
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
1190
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
1192
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
1193
in handling of revision properties. (John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel,
1196
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
1197
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
1201
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
1202
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
1203
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
1204
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
1205
(John Arbash Meinel)
1207
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
1208
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
1209
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
1211
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
1215
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
1216
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
1217
~/.bazaar/ignore which will apply to every tree, and the tree
1218
specific one '.bzrignore'.
1219
~/.bazaar/ignore will be created if it does not exist, but with
1220
a more conservative list than the old default.
1221
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
1222
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
1223
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
1224
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
1226
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
1227
to more locations than just branch locations.
1232
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
1233
revno:N:branch. For example,
1234
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
1235
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
1237
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
1238
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
1239
the path of a file that has been versioned.
1240
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
1241
Branch.get_parent()/set_parent() now save a relative path if possible,
1242
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
1243
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
1244
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
1247
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
1248
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
1249
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
1252
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
1253
(Alexander Belchenko)
1255
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
1257
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
1260
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
1261
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
1262
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
1263
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
1264
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
1265
(John Arbash Meinel)
1267
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
1268
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
1269
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
1270
grained analysis of performance.
1271
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1273
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
1274
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
1276
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
1277
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
1278
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
1279
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
1280
file. (Robert Collins).
1282
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
1283
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
1284
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
1286
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
1287
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
1290
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
1291
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
1293
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
1294
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
1295
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
1296
the same way you would apply another branch.
1297
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1299
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
1300
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
1302
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
1305
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
1308
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
1309
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
1310
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
1312
* New env variable BZR_PROGRESS_BAR, sets the default progress bar type.
1313
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
1314
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
1316
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
1317
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
1319
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
1320
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
1321
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
1322
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
1323
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
1325
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
1326
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
1328
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
1329
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
1330
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
1331
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
1332
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
1333
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
1334
branch is as much as 4x faster.
1335
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
1337
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
1338
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
1339
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
1343
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
1344
tests not to run. (#32587, Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman,
1347
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
1348
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1350
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
1351
in connecting to the remote location. (#49742, John Arbash Meinel)
1353
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
1354
(#45010, John Arbash Meinel)
1356
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
1358
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
1359
(John Arbash Meinel)
1361
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
1362
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
1364
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
1365
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
1368
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
1369
push. (#52227, Aaron Bentley)
1371
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
1372
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
1374
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
1375
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
1376
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
1377
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
1379
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
1380
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
1382
* Tuning iter_entries() to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
1384
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
1385
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
1387
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
1389
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
1391
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
1392
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
1394
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
1395
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
1397
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
1398
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
1399
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
1401
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
1402
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
1403
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
1405
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
1406
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
1408
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
1409
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
1411
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
1412
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
1414
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
1415
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
1417
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
1418
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
1420
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
1421
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
1422
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
1424
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
1426
* Fix Branch.get_parent() to handle the case when the parent is not
1427
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
1431
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
1432
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
1433
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
1435
* Appending to bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE is now deprecated. Instead, use
1436
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
1438
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
1439
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
1440
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1442
* bzrlib.delta.compare_trees now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
1443
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1445
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
1446
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
1449
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
1450
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
1451
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1453
* Deprecate Repository.all_revision_ids; most methods don't really need
1454
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
1455
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1457
* Add a BzrDirFormat control_formats list which allows for control formats
1458
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
1459
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
1461
* bzrlib.diff.external_diff can be redirected to any file-like object.
1462
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
1463
(#4047, #48914, James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel)
1465
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
1466
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
1467
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
1469
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use repository.revision_tree(None)
1470
instead. (Robert Collins)
1472
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
1474
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
1478
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
1480
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
1484
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
1485
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
1487
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
1488
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1490
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
1491
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
1492
(#44443, Olaf Conradi)
1496
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
1498
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
1499
(#44155, Olaf Conradi)
1501
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (#44284, Olaf Conradi)
1505
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
1506
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
1507
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
1508
list of editors. (#42904, Olaf Conradi)
1512
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
1513
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
1514
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
1518
* New public api in InventoryEntry - 'describe_change(old, new)' which
1519
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
1520
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1524
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
1525
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
1529
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1531
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
1532
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
1533
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
1534
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
1535
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
1536
will keep the same format.
1538
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
1539
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
1540
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
1541
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
1542
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
1544
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
1545
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
1546
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
1547
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
1548
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
1549
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
1550
indicating the current revision of the branch.
1552
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
1553
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
1554
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
1555
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
1556
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
1558
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
1559
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
1560
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
1566
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
1567
convention. Paths now take the form:
1568
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
1570
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
1572
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
1573
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
1575
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
1576
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
1577
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
1579
* The bzr_man.py file has been removed. To create the man page now,
1580
use ./generate_docs.py man. The new program can also create other files.
1581
Run "python generate_docs.py --help" for usage information. (Hans
1582
Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
1584
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell). Help also updated to
1585
reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar (Hans Ulrich
1588
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
1590
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
1592
* 'bzr re-sign' now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
1593
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
1596
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
1597
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
1600
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
1602
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
1603
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
1604
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
1607
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
1609
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
1611
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
1614
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
1615
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
1617
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
1618
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
1621
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
1622
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
1625
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
1627
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
1629
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
1630
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
1632
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
1633
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
1634
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
1635
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
1636
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
1637
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
1639
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
1641
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
1642
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
1645
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
1646
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
1648
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
1649
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
1651
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
1653
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
1654
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
1655
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
1656
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
1657
specification by Martin Pool.
1658
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
1660
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
1663
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
1664
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1666
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
1667
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
1668
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
1670
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
1672
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
1673
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
1678
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
1679
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1681
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (#5379, Matthew Fuller)
1683
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (#35940, Martin Pool, Ian Bicking)
1685
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
1688
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
1689
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
1690
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
1691
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
1695
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
1696
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
1697
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
1698
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1700
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
1701
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
1702
tried. (Martin Pool)
1704
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
1707
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
1709
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, WorkingTree.create_standalone,
1710
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see BzrDir.create_* for
1711
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
1713
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
1714
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
1716
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
1717
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
1718
paths. (Robert Collins)
1720
* bzrlib.fetch.fetch and bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch are now deprecated,
1721
please use 'branch.fetch' or 'repository.fetch' depending on your
1722
needs. (Robert Collins)
1724
* deprecated methods now have a 'is_deprecated' flag on them that can
1725
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
1726
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
1728
* Progress bars are now nested - see
1729
bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
1731
* New API call get_format_description() for each type of format.
1734
* Changed branch.set_parent() to accept None to remove parent.
1737
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
1739
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
1741
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a bar_type parameter which
1742
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
1743
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
1746
* New API method get_physical_lock_status() to query locks present on a
1747
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
1749
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
1750
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
1751
check. (Robert Collins)
1753
* bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol now supports 'get_boolean' to prompt
1754
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
1758
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
1759
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
1761
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see bzrlib.
1762
tests.branch_implementations. This is analagous to the transport
1763
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
1764
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
1766
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
1767
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
1768
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
1769
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
1770
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
1772
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
1773
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
1774
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
1776
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
1778
* run_bzr and run_bzr_captured now accept a 'stdin="foo"' parameter which
1779
will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
1785
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
1786
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
1788
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
1789
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
1790
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
1793
* Under Windows configuration directory is now %APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0
1794
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
1796
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by BZR_HOME
1797
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in BZR_HOME, then
1798
in HOME. Under Windows the order is: BZR_HOME, APPDATA (usually
1799
points to C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data), HOME.
1800
(John Arbash Meinel)
1802
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
1803
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
1804
used. (Robert Collins)
1806
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
1807
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
1810
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
1811
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
1812
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
1814
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
1817
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
1818
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
1822
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
1823
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
1825
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
1827
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
1829
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
1830
tree. (Robert Collins)
1832
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
1833
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
1834
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
1837
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
1840
* Tweaks to short log printing
1842
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
1845
* If $BZR_PDB is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
1846
occurs. (Martin Pool)
1848
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
1849
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
1851
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
1852
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
1854
* Commit editor temporary files now start with 'bzr_log.', to allow
1855
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
1856
settings. (Magnus Therning)
1858
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
1859
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
1861
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
1862
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
1865
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
1866
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
1868
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
1869
(#3632, Matthieu Moy)
1871
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
1872
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
1874
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
1877
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
1878
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
1880
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
1881
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
1883
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
1884
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
1885
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
1889
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
1891
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
1893
* Error when run with -OO
1895
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
1898
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
1900
* Change status to 3 for all errors
1902
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
1903
ignored by diff and status
1905
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
1906
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
1908
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
1910
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
1912
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
1913
status' output. (#4503, Daniel Silverstone)
1915
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
1916
email address. (Marien Zwart)
1918
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages. (Harald
1921
* List of plugin directories in BZR_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable is
1922
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
1924
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
1926
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
1927
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
1929
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters. (Martin
1932
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list. (#6413, Tollef Fog
1935
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
1939
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
1940
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
1942
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
1944
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
1946
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
1948
* Updated build_tree to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
1949
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
1950
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
1952
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
1954
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
1955
(John Arbash Meinel)
1957
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
1959
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
1960
If adding a new test script please add that to
1961
bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__. (Robert Collins)
1963
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
1964
imported. (Martin Pool)
1966
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
1967
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
1968
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
1969
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
1970
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
1973
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
1974
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
1975
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
1977
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
1978
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
1979
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
1981
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
1982
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
1983
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
1984
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
1985
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
1988
* TestCase.build_tree uses the transport interface to build trees, pass
1989
in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
1994
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
1995
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
1997
* commands.display_command now returns the result of the decorated
1998
function. (Robert Collins)
2000
* LocationConfig now has a set_user_option(key, value) call to save
2001
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
2002
if needed). (Robert Collins)
2004
* Branch has two new methods, get_push_location and set_push_location
2005
to respectively, get and set the push location. (Robert Collins)
2007
* commands.register_command now takes an optional flag to signal that
2008
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
2009
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
2010
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
2011
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
2012
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
2013
version. (Robert Collins)
2015
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
2016
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
2018
* Branch.read_working_inventory has moved to
2019
WorkingTree.read_working_inventory. This necessitated changes to
2020
Branch.get_root_id, and a move of Branch.set_inventory to WorkingTree
2021
as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always be obtained
2022
Branch.working_tree() will raise 'errors.NoWorkingTree' if one cannot
2023
be obtained. (Robert Collins)
2025
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
2028
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree:
2036
* bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch is now smart_add_tree. (Robert Collins)
2038
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
2040
* Rename selftests to `bzrlib.tests.test_foo`. (John A Meinel, Martin
2043
* bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins has been changed from an attribute to a
2044
query method. (Robert Collins)
2046
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
2049
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
2052
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in cmd_pull().
2056
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
2057
is exposed as Branch().control_files. Also this has been altered with the
2058
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
2059
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
2061
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
2062
bzrlib.symbol_versioning module. Marked method have their docstring
2063
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
2064
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
2066
* bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode now exists to provide parameter coercion
2067
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
2073
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
2076
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
2080
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
2081
a separator, not ':'.
2084
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
2085
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
2086
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
2088
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
2089
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
2092
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
2093
has been added that suppresses all output.
2095
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
2098
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
2099
Goffredo Baroncelli.
2101
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
2102
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
2104
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
2105
a revision. (Robert Collins)
2107
* If you set check_signatures=require for a path in
2108
~/.bazaar/branches.conf then bzr will invoke your
2109
gpg_signing_command (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
2110
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
2112
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
2114
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
2115
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
2117
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
2118
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
2120
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
2121
output directory, if one was supplied.
2123
* If the option 'post_commit' is set to one (or more) python function
2124
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
2125
after the commit has completed, with the branch and revision_id as
2126
parameters. (Robert Collins)
2128
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
2130
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
2131
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
2133
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
2134
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
2135
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
2137
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
2138
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
2140
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
2143
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
2145
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
2149
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
2150
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
2151
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
2153
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
2154
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
2155
related questions. (Robert Collins)
2157
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
2158
is given. (Martin Pool)
2160
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
2161
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
2162
file. (Robert Collins)
2164
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
2169
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
2170
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
2171
representation. (Martin Pool).
2173
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
2174
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
2175
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
2177
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2180
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
2181
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
2184
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2185
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
2186
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
2187
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
2188
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
2190
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
2191
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
2192
import other plugins during the __init__ of your plugin though, as
2193
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
2194
python path. (Robert Collins)
2196
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
2197
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
2198
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
2199
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
2201
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
2202
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
2204
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
2205
lock_read, lock_write and unlock methods for convenience. (Robert
2208
* Two decorators, needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock have been added
2209
to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
2210
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
2212
* Branch.open_containing now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
2213
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
2214
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
2216
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
2217
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2219
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as WorkingTree.pull().
2220
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
2221
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
2224
* config.Config has a 'get_user_option' call that accepts an option name.
2225
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
2226
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
2227
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
2230
* merge.merge_inner now has tempdir as an optional parameter. (Robert
2233
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
2234
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
2237
* WorkingTree.__del__ has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
2238
doing what it was intended to. See WorkingTree.__init__ for a comment
2239
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
2241
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
2242
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
2243
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
2245
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
2246
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
2247
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
2249
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
2250
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2252
* 'merge_flex' no longer calls conflict_handler.finalize(), instead that
2253
is called by merge_inner. This is so that the conflict count can be
2254
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
2255
of merge_inner. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
2256
caller. (Robert Collins)
2258
* 'revision.revision_graph can handle having only partial history for
2259
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
2262
* New builtins.branch_files uses the standard file_list rules to produce
2263
a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch (Aaron Bentley)
2265
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
2267
* New bzrlib.version_info tuple (similar to sys.version_info), which can
2268
be used by programs importing bzrlib.
2272
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
2273
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
2275
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
2276
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
2279
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
2283
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
2284
allow directories to be listed.
2286
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
2287
upgrading branch format.
2291
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
2298
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
2299
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
2300
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
2301
high-latency connections.
2305
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
2308
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
2309
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
2311
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
2312
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
2313
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
2314
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2316
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
2317
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
2319
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
2320
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
2322
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
2323
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
2324
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2326
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
2327
for files with only a change to their executable status.
2328
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
2331
* HTTP tests now force off the use of http_proxy for the duration.
2332
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
2334
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
2335
different partial views of history.
2337
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
2338
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
2342
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
2343
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
2344
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2346
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
2347
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
2350
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
2351
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
2353
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
2356
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
2357
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
2359
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
2360
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
2361
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
2362
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2364
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
2366
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
2367
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
2370
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
2371
Contributed by Robert Collins.
2373
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
2374
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
2375
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
2380
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
2381
for your viewing pleasure.
2383
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
2384
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
2386
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
2387
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
2388
handling of such circumstances.
2390
* Remove RevisionReference class; Revision.parent_ids is now simply a
2391
list of their ids and parent_sha1s is a list of their corresponding
2392
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
2394
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
2396
* Renamed Branch.last_patch() to Branch.last_revision(), since
2397
we call them revisions not patches.
2399
* Move copy_branch to bzrlib.clone.copy_branch. The destination
2400
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
2402
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
2403
giving the revision *of that file*.
2405
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
2406
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
2407
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
2411
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
2412
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
2414
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
2415
of tests to run, e.g. 'bzr selftest test_weave'
2418
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
2422
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
2424
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
2427
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
2429
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
2431
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
2432
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2436
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
2437
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
2439
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
2440
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
2441
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
2442
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
2445
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
2446
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2450
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
2452
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
2453
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
2456
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
2460
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
2461
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
2462
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
2463
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
2466
* Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default. Patch from
2469
* If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
2470
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
2471
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
2472
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
2473
for the operating system is still tried.
2475
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
2476
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
2477
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
2482
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
2486
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
2488
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
2491
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
2497
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
2499
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
2502
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
2506
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
2507
help with intelligent shell completion.
2509
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
2514
* Much better merge support.
2516
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
2517
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
2523
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
2524
mention revisions that are not present.
2526
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
2528
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
2530
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
2531
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
2536
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
2538
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
2539
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
2545
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
2546
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
