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.
26
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
27
code paths. (Robert Collins)
29
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
30
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
31
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
32
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
33
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
35
* Deprecate Branch.get_root_id() because branches don't have root ids,
36
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
38
* WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta provides a better alternative to
39
WorkingTree._write_inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
41
* Convenience method TestCase.expectFailure ensures that known failures
42
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
44
* Transport.local_abspath now raises NotLocalUrl rather than
45
TransportNotPossible. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
47
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
48
in bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks. The two initial hooks allow
49
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
52
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
53
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
54
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
55
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
56
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
59
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
60
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
61
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
63
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
64
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
65
consistent with its new home in bzrlib/transport/remote.py, and because
66
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
67
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
69
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
70
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
71
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
72
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
74
* New method 'get_branch_reference' on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
75
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
77
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
78
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
79
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
80
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
81
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
82
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
84
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
85
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
89
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
90
(#98510, Ian Clatworthy)
92
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
93
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
95
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
96
properly and is no longer beneficial. Fixes #53675 and #43486.
99
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
102
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
103
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
104
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
106
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
107
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
108
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
109
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
111
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
112
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
113
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
114
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
116
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
117
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
119
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
121
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
122
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
126
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
127
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
128
in running it. (Robert Collins)
130
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
131
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
133
* Add new vfs_transport_factory attribute on tests which provides the
134
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
135
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
136
and use the existing transport_server attribute all tests know about
137
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
138
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
139
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
140
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
142
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
143
lightweight checkout for the tree if the vfs_transport_factory is not
144
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
146
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
147
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
148
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
149
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
150
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
152
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
159
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
162
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
163
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
166
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
170
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
171
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
176
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
177
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
178
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
179
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
180
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
181
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
182
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
183
bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections provide an easy transition
188
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
189
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
190
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
192
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to BzrDir.open_workingtree
193
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
196
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
197
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
200
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
201
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
202
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
203
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
204
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
208
* Take smtp_server from user config into account.
211
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
212
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
214
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
215
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
217
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
218
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
219
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
221
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
222
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
224
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
225
last-changed-revision for directories. The
226
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the parent_id and name,
227
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
228
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
230
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
231
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
232
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
234
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
238
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
240
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
242
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
243
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
244
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
248
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
249
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
251
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
252
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
254
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
256
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
257
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
259
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
260
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
264
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
269
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
270
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
271
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
272
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
274
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
275
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
277
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
278
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
280
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
283
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
284
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
287
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
291
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
292
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
293
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
294
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
295
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
296
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
298
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
299
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
300
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
301
lock_read/lock_write/lock_tree_write has been called, and become invalid
302
again after unlock is called. This has been done to improve performance
303
and correctness as part of the dirstate development. (Robert Collins,
304
John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
306
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
307
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
308
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
309
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
310
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
311
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
312
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
313
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
317
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
318
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
320
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
321
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
322
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
323
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
325
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
326
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
327
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
328
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
329
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
331
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
334
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
337
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
340
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
341
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
344
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
347
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
348
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
350
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
351
directory. (Martin Pool)
353
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
354
"append_history_only" mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
355
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
356
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
358
* append_only branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
359
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
360
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
361
in docs/configuration.txt.
363
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
364
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
367
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
368
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
369
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
370
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
371
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
372
repositories. (Martin Pool)
374
* The bzr:// transport now has a well-known port number, 4155, which it will
375
use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
377
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
378
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
380
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
385
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
386
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
387
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
388
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
389
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
392
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
393
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
396
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
397
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
400
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
401
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - 'set_rh',
402
'post_push', 'post_pull', 'post_commit', 'post_uncommit'. These hooks
403
fire after the matching operation on a branch has taken place, and were
404
originally added for the branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
406
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
407
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
408
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
410
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
411
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
412
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
413
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
415
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
417
* New Branch.last_revision_info method, this is being done to allow
418
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
419
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
420
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
422
* Allow 'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME' to work when the plugin NAME has not
423
yet been loaded by load_plugins(). This allows plugins to depend on each
424
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
425
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
427
* New Repository method 'gather_stats' for statistic data collection.
428
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
429
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
431
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
432
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
433
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
435
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
436
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
437
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
438
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
440
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
441
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
442
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
444
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
445
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
446
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
448
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
449
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
450
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
451
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
452
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
453
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
454
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
455
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
456
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
457
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
458
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
462
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
463
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
464
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
466
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
469
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
470
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
471
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
472
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
474
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
475
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
478
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
479
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
481
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
483
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable (CURL_CA_BUNDLE),
484
and on win32 along the PATH. (Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
486
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
487
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
489
* Raise DependencyNotPresent if pycurl do not support https. (Vincent
492
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
493
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
495
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
496
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
498
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
500
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
501
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
505
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
506
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
513
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
517
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
518
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
519
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
521
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
522
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
523
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
526
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
530
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
531
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
532
server, then you can write over the http connection.
533
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
535
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
538
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
539
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
540
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
542
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
543
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
545
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
548
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
549
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
550
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
551
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
552
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
553
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
555
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
556
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
557
should enable you to do::
560
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
561
push_location:policy = appendpath
563
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
564
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
567
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
568
for each file. For example::
576
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
577
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
579
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
581
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
582
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
584
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
588
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
589
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
590
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
591
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
593
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
594
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
595
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
597
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
599
* When 'encoding_type' attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
600
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
601
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
602
(Alexander Belchenko)
604
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
607
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
608
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
610
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
614
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
615
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
617
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
618
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
619
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
620
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
621
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
623
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. \\HOST\path).
624
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
626
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
627
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
629
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
631
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
633
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
634
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
635
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
636
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
637
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
639
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
640
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
641
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
642
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
644
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
645
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
647
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
648
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
650
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
651
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
653
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
654
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)
659
No changes from 0.13rc1
661
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
665
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
669
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
670
operations are substantially faster.
671
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
673
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
674
tree from some other url. For example:
675
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
678
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
679
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
680
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
681
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
683
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
686
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
687
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
688
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
689
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
690
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
691
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
695
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
696
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
699
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
700
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
703
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
704
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
705
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
708
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
709
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
711
* New method 'get_branch_reference' on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
712
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
714
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
715
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
720
* Now _KnitIndex properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
721
And optimize the knit index parsing code. (Dmitry Vasiliev, John
724
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
725
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
726
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
727
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
729
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
731
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
732
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
734
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
735
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
736
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
737
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
739
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
740
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
741
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
743
* _KnitIndex.add_versions() dictionary compresses revision ids as they
744
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
745
them as full references rather than integers. (John Arbash Meinel,
748
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
749
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
751
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
753
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
754
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
756
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
757
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
759
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
760
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
761
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
762
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
764
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
765
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
766
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
768
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
769
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
771
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
772
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
773
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
774
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
775
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
779
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
780
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
786
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
787
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
790
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
794
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
795
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
796
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
797
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
799
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
800
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
802
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
804
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
805
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
806
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
807
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
809
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
810
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
811
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
812
to allow modules to be loaded on request. (John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato
817
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
818
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
822
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
823
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
824
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
826
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
827
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
830
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
831
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
832
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
834
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
835
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
838
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
839
pass in inventory.ROOT_ID if you want the default root id value.
840
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
842
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
843
inventory out to disk. At the same time, read_working_inventory will
844
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
845
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
846
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
847
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
849
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
850
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
851
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
854
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
855
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
859
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
860
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
861
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
864
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
865
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
867
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
868
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
869
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
871
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
872
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
874
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
875
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
876
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
877
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
879
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
880
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
882
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
883
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
884
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
886
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
887
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
889
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
891
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
892
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
897
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
898
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
899
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
900
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
902
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
903
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
904
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
908
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
910
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
914
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
916
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
919
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
923
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
924
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
925
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
926
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
927
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
928
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
929
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
931
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
932
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
933
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
935
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
937
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
938
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
940
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
941
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
942
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
945
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
946
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
947
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
950
* Support bzr:// and bzr+ssh:// urls to work with the new RPC-based
951
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
952
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
953
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
956
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
957
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
958
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
963
* 'bzr inventory [FILE...]' allows restricting the file list to a
964
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
966
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
968
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
969
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
970
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
972
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
973
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
975
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
976
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
978
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
979
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
981
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
982
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
984
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
986
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
987
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
989
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
990
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
992
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
993
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
995
* Don't use preexec_fn on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
998
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
999
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
1000
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
1002
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
1003
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1005
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
1006
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
1007
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
1008
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
1010
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
1011
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
1012
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
1014
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
1015
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
1019
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
1023
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
1024
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
1025
(John Arbash Meinel)
1027
* run_bzr_subprocess() can take an optional 'env_changes={}' parameter,
1028
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
1029
take a 'universal_newlines=True', which helps when checking the output
1030
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1032
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
1035
* Transport.list_dir() and Transport.iter_files_recursive() should always
1036
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
1037
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
1039
* New utility function symbol_versioning.deprecation_string. Returns the
1040
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
1042
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
1043
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
1044
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
1046
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
1047
.append_bytes, .append_file, .put_bytes, and .put_file. This removes the
1048
ambiguity in what type of object the functions take.
1049
Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file} has also been added. Which works
1050
similarly to Transport.append() except for SFTP, it doesn't have a round
1051
trip when opening the file. Also, it provides functionality for creating
1052
a parent directory when trying to create a file, rather than raise
1053
NoSuchFile and forcing the caller to repeat their request.
1054
(John Arbash Meinel)
1056
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
1057
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
1059
* WorkingTree.pending_merges is deprecated. Please use the get_parent_ids
1060
(introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
1062
* WorkingTree has a new lock_tree_write method which locks the branch for
1063
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
1064
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
1065
needs_tree_write_lock is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
1066
needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock decorators this allows static
1067
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
1068
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
1070
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
1071
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
1072
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
1073
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
1074
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
1075
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
1076
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
1077
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
1080
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
1081
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
1082
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
1084
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
1085
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
1087
* New methods mkdir and put_file_bytes_non_atomic on MutableTree that
1088
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
1090
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
1091
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1095
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
1096
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
1098
* Add start_bzr_subprocess and stop_bzr_subprocess to allow test code to
1099
continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr. (Andrew Bennetts,
1102
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
1103
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
1104
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1109
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
1110
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
1112
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
1113
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
1114
the 'action' passed to smart_add_tree() can return file_ids that
1115
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
1116
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
1118
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
1119
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
1120
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
1122
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
1123
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
1125
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
1126
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
1127
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1131
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
1133
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
1134
lock_write() is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
1135
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
1137
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
1139
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
1141
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
1142
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
1143
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
1144
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
1146
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
1147
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
1148
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
1149
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
1150
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
1152
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
1153
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
1155
* Use GPG_TTY to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
1156
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
1158
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
1159
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
1161
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
1162
in handling of revision properties. (John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel,
1165
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
1166
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
1170
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
1171
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
1172
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
1173
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
1174
(John Arbash Meinel)
1176
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
1177
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
1178
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
1180
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
1184
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
1185
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
1186
~/.bazaar/ignore which will apply to every tree, and the tree
1187
specific one '.bzrignore'.
1188
~/.bazaar/ignore will be created if it does not exist, but with
1189
a more conservative list than the old default.
1190
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
1191
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
1192
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
1193
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
1195
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
1196
to more locations than just branch locations.
1201
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
1202
revno:N:branch. For example,
1203
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
1204
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
1206
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
1207
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
1208
the path of a file that has been versioned.
1209
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
1210
Branch.get_parent()/set_parent() now save a relative path if possible,
1211
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
1212
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
1213
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
1216
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
1217
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
1218
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
1221
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
1222
(Alexander Belchenko)
1224
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
1226
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
1229
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
1230
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
1231
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
1232
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
1233
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
1234
(John Arbash Meinel)
1236
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
1237
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
1238
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
1239
grained analysis of performance.
1240
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1242
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
1243
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
1245
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
1246
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
1247
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
1248
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
1249
file. (Robert Collins).
1251
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
1252
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
1253
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
1255
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
1256
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
1259
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
1260
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
1262
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
1263
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
1264
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
1265
the same way you would apply another branch.
1266
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1268
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
1269
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
1271
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
1274
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
1277
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
1278
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
1279
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
1281
* New env variable BZR_PROGRESS_BAR, sets the default progress bar type.
1282
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
1283
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
1285
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
1286
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
1288
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
1289
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
1290
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
1291
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
1292
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
1294
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
1295
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
1297
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
1298
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
1299
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
1300
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
1301
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
1302
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
1303
branch is as much as 4x faster.
1304
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
1306
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
1307
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
1308
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
1312
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
1313
tests not to run. (#32587, Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman,
1316
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
1317
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1319
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
1320
in connecting to the remote location. (#49742, John Arbash Meinel)
1322
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
1323
(#45010, John Arbash Meinel)
1325
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
1327
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
1328
(John Arbash Meinel)
1330
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
1331
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
1333
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
1334
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
1337
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
1338
push. (#52227, Aaron Bentley)
1340
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
1341
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
1343
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
1344
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
1345
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
1346
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
1348
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
1349
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
1351
* Tuning iter_entries() to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
1353
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
1354
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
1356
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
1358
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
1360
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
1361
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
1363
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
1364
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
1366
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
1367
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
1368
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
1370
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
1371
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
1372
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
1374
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
1375
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
1377
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
1378
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
1380
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
1381
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
1383
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
1384
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
1386
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
1387
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
1389
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
1390
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
1391
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
1393
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
1395
* Fix Branch.get_parent() to handle the case when the parent is not
1396
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
1400
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
1401
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
1402
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
1404
* Appending to bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE is now deprecated. Instead, use
1405
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
1407
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
1408
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
1409
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1411
* bzrlib.delta.compare_trees now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
1412
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1414
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
1415
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
1418
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
1419
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
1420
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1422
* Deprecate Repository.all_revision_ids; most methods don't really need
1423
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
1424
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1426
* Add a BzrDirFormat control_formats list which allows for control formats
1427
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
1428
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
1430
* bzrlib.diff.external_diff can be redirected to any file-like object.
1431
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
1432
(#4047, #48914, James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel)
1434
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
1435
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
1436
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
1438
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use repository.revision_tree(None)
1439
instead. (Robert Collins)
1441
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
1443
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
1447
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
1449
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
1453
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
1454
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
1456
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
1457
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1459
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
1460
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
1461
(#44443, Olaf Conradi)
1465
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
1467
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
1468
(#44155, Olaf Conradi)
1470
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (#44284, Olaf Conradi)
1474
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
1475
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
1476
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
1477
list of editors. (#42904, Olaf Conradi)
1481
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
1482
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
1483
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
1487
* New public api in InventoryEntry - 'describe_change(old, new)' which
1488
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
1489
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1493
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
1494
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
1498
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1500
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
1501
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
1502
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
1503
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
1504
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
1505
will keep the same format.
1507
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
1508
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
1509
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
1510
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
1511
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
1513
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
1514
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
1515
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
1516
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
1517
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
1518
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
1519
indicating the current revision of the branch.
1521
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
1522
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
1523
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
1524
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
1525
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
1527
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
1528
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
1529
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
1535
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
1536
convention. Paths now take the form:
1537
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
1539
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
1541
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
1542
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
1544
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
1545
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
1546
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
1548
* The bzr_man.py file has been removed. To create the man page now,
1549
use ./generate_docs.py man. The new program can also create other files.
1550
Run "python generate_docs.py --help" for usage information. (Hans
1551
Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
1553
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell). Help also updated to
1554
reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar (Hans Ulrich
1557
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
1559
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
1561
* 'bzr re-sign' now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
1562
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
1565
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
1566
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
1569
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
1571
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
1572
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
1573
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
1576
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
1578
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
1580
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
1583
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
1584
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
1586
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
1587
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
1590
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
1591
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
1594
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
1596
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
1598
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
1599
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
1601
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
1602
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
1603
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
1604
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
1605
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
1606
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
1608
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
1610
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
1611
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
1614
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
1615
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
1617
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
1618
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
1620
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
1622
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
1623
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
1624
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
1625
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
1626
specification by Martin Pool.
1627
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
1629
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
1632
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
1633
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1635
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
1636
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
1637
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
1639
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
1641
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
1642
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
1647
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
1648
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1650
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (#5379, Matthew Fuller)
1652
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (#35940, Martin Pool, Ian Bicking)
1654
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
1657
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
1658
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
1659
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
1660
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
1664
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
1665
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
1666
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
1667
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1669
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
1670
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
1671
tried. (Martin Pool)
1673
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
1676
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
1678
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, WorkingTree.create_standalone,
1679
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see BzrDir.create_* for
1680
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
1682
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
1683
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
1685
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
1686
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
1687
paths. (Robert Collins)
1689
* bzrlib.fetch.fetch and bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch are now deprecated,
1690
please use 'branch.fetch' or 'repository.fetch' depending on your
1691
needs. (Robert Collins)
1693
* deprecated methods now have a 'is_deprecated' flag on them that can
1694
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
1695
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
1697
* Progress bars are now nested - see
1698
bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
1700
* New API call get_format_description() for each type of format.
1703
* Changed branch.set_parent() to accept None to remove parent.
1706
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
1708
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
1710
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a bar_type parameter which
1711
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
1712
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
1715
* New API method get_physical_lock_status() to query locks present on a
1716
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
1718
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
1719
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
1720
check. (Robert Collins)
1722
* bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol now supports 'get_boolean' to prompt
1723
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
1727
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
1728
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
1730
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see bzrlib.
1731
tests.branch_implementations. This is analagous to the transport
1732
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
1733
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
1735
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
1736
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
1737
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
1738
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
1739
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
1741
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
1742
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
1743
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
1745
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
1747
* run_bzr and run_bzr_captured now accept a 'stdin="foo"' parameter which
1748
will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
1754
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
1755
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
1757
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
1758
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
1759
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
1762
* Under Windows configuration directory is now %APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0
1763
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
1765
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by BZR_HOME
1766
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in BZR_HOME, then
1767
in HOME. Under Windows the order is: BZR_HOME, APPDATA (usually
1768
points to C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data), HOME.
1769
(John Arbash Meinel)
1771
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
1772
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
1773
used. (Robert Collins)
1775
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
1776
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
1779
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
1780
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
1781
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
1783
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
1786
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
1787
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
1791
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
1792
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
1794
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
1796
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
1798
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
1799
tree. (Robert Collins)
1801
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
1802
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
1803
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
1806
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
1809
* Tweaks to short log printing
1811
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
1814
* If $BZR_PDB is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
1815
occurs. (Martin Pool)
1817
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
1818
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
1820
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
1821
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
1823
* Commit editor temporary files now start with 'bzr_log.', to allow
1824
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
1825
settings. (Magnus Therning)
1827
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
1828
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
1830
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
1831
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
1834
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
1835
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
1837
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
1838
(#3632, Matthieu Moy)
1840
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
1841
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
1843
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
1846
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
1847
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
1849
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
1850
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
1852
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
1853
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
1854
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
1858
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
1860
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
1862
* Error when run with -OO
1864
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
1867
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
1869
* Change status to 3 for all errors
1871
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
1872
ignored by diff and status
1874
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
1875
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
1877
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
1879
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
1881
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
1882
status' output. (#4503, Daniel Silverstone)
1884
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
1885
email address. (Marien Zwart)
1887
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages. (Harald
1890
* List of plugin directories in BZR_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable is
1891
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
1893
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
1895
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
1896
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
1898
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters. (Martin
1901
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list. (#6413, Tollef Fog
1904
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
1908
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
1909
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
1911
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
1913
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
1915
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
1917
* Updated build_tree to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
1918
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
1919
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
1921
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
1923
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
1924
(John Arbash Meinel)
1926
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
1928
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
1929
If adding a new test script please add that to
1930
bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__. (Robert Collins)
1932
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
1933
imported. (Martin Pool)
1935
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
1936
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
1937
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
1938
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
1939
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
1942
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
1943
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
1944
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
1946
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
1947
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
1948
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
1950
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
1951
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
1952
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
1953
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
1954
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
1957
* TestCase.build_tree uses the transport interface to build trees, pass
1958
in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
1963
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
1964
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
1966
* commands.display_command now returns the result of the decorated
1967
function. (Robert Collins)
1969
* LocationConfig now has a set_user_option(key, value) call to save
1970
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
1971
if needed). (Robert Collins)
1973
* Branch has two new methods, get_push_location and set_push_location
1974
to respectively, get and set the push location. (Robert Collins)
1976
* commands.register_command now takes an optional flag to signal that
1977
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
1978
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
1979
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
1980
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
1981
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
1982
version. (Robert Collins)
1984
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
1985
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
1987
* Branch.read_working_inventory has moved to
1988
WorkingTree.read_working_inventory. This necessitated changes to
1989
Branch.get_root_id, and a move of Branch.set_inventory to WorkingTree
1990
as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always be obtained
1991
Branch.working_tree() will raise 'errors.NoWorkingTree' if one cannot
1992
be obtained. (Robert Collins)
1994
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
1997
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree:
2005
* bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch is now smart_add_tree. (Robert Collins)
2007
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
2009
* Rename selftests to `bzrlib.tests.test_foo`. (John A Meinel, Martin
2012
* bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins has been changed from an attribute to a
2013
query method. (Robert Collins)
2015
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
2018
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
2021
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in cmd_pull().
2025
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
2026
is exposed as Branch().control_files. Also this has been altered with the
2027
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
2028
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
2030
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
2031
bzrlib.symbol_versioning module. Marked method have their docstring
2032
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
2033
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
2035
* bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode now exists to provide parameter coercion
2036
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
2042
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
2045
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
2049
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
2050
a separator, not ':'.
2053
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
2054
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
2055
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
2057
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
2058
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
2061
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
2062
has been added that suppresses all output.
2064
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
2067
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
2068
Goffredo Baroncelli.
2070
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
2071
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
2073
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
2074
a revision. (Robert Collins)
2076
* If you set check_signatures=require for a path in
2077
~/.bazaar/branches.conf then bzr will invoke your
2078
gpg_signing_command (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
2079
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
2081
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
2083
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
2084
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
2086
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
2087
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
2089
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
2090
output directory, if one was supplied.
2092
* If the option 'post_commit' is set to one (or more) python function
2093
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
2094
after the commit has completed, with the branch and revision_id as
2095
parameters. (Robert Collins)
2097
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
2099
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
2100
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
2102
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
2103
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
2104
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
2106
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
2107
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
2109
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
2112
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
2114
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
2118
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
2119
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
2120
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
2122
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
2123
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
2124
related questions. (Robert Collins)
2126
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
2127
is given. (Martin Pool)
2129
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
2130
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
2131
file. (Robert Collins)
2133
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
2138
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
2139
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
2140
representation. (Martin Pool).
2142
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
2143
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
2144
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
2146
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2149
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
2150
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
2153
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2154
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
2155
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
2156
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
2157
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
2159
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
2160
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
2161
import other plugins during the __init__ of your plugin though, as
2162
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
2163
python path. (Robert Collins)
2165
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
2166
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
2167
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
2168
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
2170
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
2171
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
2173
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
2174
lock_read, lock_write and unlock methods for convenience. (Robert
2177
* Two decorators, needs_read_lock and needs_write_lock have been added
2178
to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
2179
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
2181
* Branch.open_containing now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
2182
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
2183
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
2185
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
2186
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2188
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as WorkingTree.pull().
2189
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
2190
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
2193
* config.Config has a 'get_user_option' call that accepts an option name.
2194
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
2195
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
2196
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
2199
* merge.merge_inner now has tempdir as an optional parameter. (Robert
2202
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
2203
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
2206
* WorkingTree.__del__ has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
2207
doing what it was intended to. See WorkingTree.__init__ for a comment
2208
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
2210
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
2211
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
2212
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
2214
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
2215
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
2216
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
2218
* Transports can register using register_lazy_transport, and they
2219
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2221
* 'merge_flex' no longer calls conflict_handler.finalize(), instead that
2222
is called by merge_inner. This is so that the conflict count can be
2223
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
2224
of merge_inner. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
2225
caller. (Robert Collins)
2227
* 'revision.revision_graph can handle having only partial history for
2228
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
2231
* New builtins.branch_files uses the standard file_list rules to produce
2232
a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch (Aaron Bentley)
2234
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
2236
* New bzrlib.version_info tuple (similar to sys.version_info), which can
2237
be used by programs importing bzrlib.
2241
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
2242
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
2244
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
2245
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
2248
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
2252
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
2253
allow directories to be listed.
2255
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
2256
upgrading branch format.
2260
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
2267
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
2268
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
2269
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
2270
high-latency connections.
2274
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
2277
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
2278
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
2280
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
2281
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
2282
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
2283
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2285
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
2286
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
2288
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
2289
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.

* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
2292
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
2293
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2295
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
2296
for files with only a change to their executable status.
2297
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
2300
* HTTP tests now force off the use of http_proxy for the duration.
2301
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
2303
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
2304
different partial views of history.
2306
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
2307
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
2311
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
2312
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
2313
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2315
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
2316
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
2319
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
2320
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
2322
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
2325
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
2326
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
2328
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
2329
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
2330
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
2331
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2333
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
2335
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
2336
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
2339
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
2340
Contributed by Robert Collins.
2342
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
2343
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
2344
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
2349
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
2350
for your viewing pleasure.
2352
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
2353
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
2355
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
2356
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
2357
handling of such circumstances.
2359
* Remove RevisionReference class; Revision.parent_ids is now simply a
2360
list of their ids and parent_sha1s is a list of their corresponding
2361
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
2363
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
2365
* Renamed Branch.last_patch() to Branch.last_revision(), since
2366
we call them revisions not patches.
2368
* Move copy_branch to bzrlib.clone.copy_branch. The destination
2369
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
2371
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
2372
giving the revision *of that file*.
2374
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
2375
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
2376
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
2380
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
2381
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
2383
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
2384
of tests to run, e.g. 'bzr selftest test_weave'
2387
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
2391
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
2393
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
2396
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
2398
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
2400
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
2401
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2405
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
2406
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
2408
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
2409
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
2410
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
2411
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
2414
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
2415
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2419
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
2421
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
2422
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
2425
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
2429
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
2430
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
2431
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
2432
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
2435
* Ignore .DS_Store (contains Mac metadata) by default. Patch from
2438
* If you set BZR_EDITOR in the environment, it is checked in
2439
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
2440
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
2441
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
2442
for the operating system is still tried.
2444
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
2445
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
2446
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.

2451
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
2455
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
2457
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
2460
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
2466
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
2468
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
