15
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
17
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
18
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
20
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
21
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
22
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
23
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
24
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
25
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
28
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
29
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
30
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
31
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
35
* Added mail-mode GNU Emacs mail package as a mail_client.
36
(Xavier Maillard, Bojan Nikolic)
38
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
42
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
43
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
45
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
46
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
47
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
50
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
53
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
54
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
55
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
57
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
60
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
61
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
63
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
64
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
66
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
67
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
68
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
70
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
71
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
72
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
73
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
74
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
76
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
77
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
81
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
82
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
83
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
84
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
85
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
86
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
88
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
89
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
91
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
92
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
93
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
95
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
96
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
98
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
99
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
100
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
101
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
103
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
105
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
107
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
108
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
110
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
111
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
115
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
117
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
119
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
123
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
124
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
125
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
127
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
128
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
129
release. (James Westby)
131
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
132
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
134
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
135
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
137
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
138
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
140
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
141
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
142
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
144
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
145
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
147
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
148
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
151
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
152
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
154
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
155
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
159
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
160
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
161
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
162
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
164
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
165
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
166
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
167
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
171
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
172
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
175
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
176
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
178
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
180
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
181
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
182
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
186
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
187
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)
193
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
195
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
196
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
197
features have been added.
201
* Avoid spurious failure of ``TestVersion.test_version`` matching
203
(#202778, Martin Pool)
206
bzr 1.3rc1 2008-03-16
207
---------------------
209
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
211
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
212
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
216
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
217
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
218
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
219
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
222
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
223
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
224
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
225
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
226
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
227
(Alexander Belchenko)
229
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
230
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
231
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
232
(Alexander Belchenko)
234
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
236
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
237
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
241
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
242
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
244
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
245
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
250
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
252
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
254
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
255
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
256
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
258
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
259
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
261
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
264
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
265
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
266
(Alexander Belchenko)
268
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
269
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
270
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
271
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
273
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
276
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
277
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
278
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
279
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
280
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
284
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
285
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
286
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
287
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
289
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
290
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
292
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
293
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
295
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
296
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
297
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
299
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
300
(#198793, John Ferlito)
302
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
305
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
306
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
308
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
310
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
312
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
313
symlinks (James Henstridge)
315
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
316
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
318
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
319
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
321
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
322
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
324
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
325
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
327
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
328
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
332
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
333
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
337
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
338
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
339
(Alexander Belchenko)
343
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
344
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
349
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
350
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
351
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
353
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
354
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
355
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
356
(Alexander Belchenko)
358
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
359
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
360
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
361
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
363
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
364
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
365
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
368
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
369
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
370
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
372
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
373
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
374
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
376
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
377
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
378
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
379
format. (Robert Collins)
387
* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
390
bzr 1.2rc1 2008-02-13
391
---------------------
393
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
395
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
396
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
397
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
398
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
399
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
404
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
405
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
407
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
408
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
409
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
411
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
412
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
413
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
414
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
415
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
416
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
421
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
422
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
424
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
425
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
426
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
429
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
430
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
431
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
432
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
433
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
435
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
436
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
437
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
438
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
439
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
440
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
441
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
442
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
446
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
447
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
449
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
450
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
452
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
453
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
455
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
456
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
457
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
459
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
460
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
465
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
466
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
468
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
469
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
471
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
472
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
474
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
475
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
476
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
478
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
479
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
480
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
482
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
483
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
485
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
486
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
487
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
488
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
489
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
491
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
493
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
494
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
497
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
498
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
500
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
501
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
503
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
504
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
506
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
507
more characters which should be considered valid.
508
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
510
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
511
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
513
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
514
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
518
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
519
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
521
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
522
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
527
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
528
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
533
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
534
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
535
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
537
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
538
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
539
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
541
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
542
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
543
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
544
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
546
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
548
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
549
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
550
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
551
server. (Robert Collins)
553
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
554
operate. (Robert Collins)
556
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
557
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
558
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
560
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
561
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
562
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
563
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
565
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
566
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
568
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
569
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
570
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
572
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
573
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
575
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
576
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
578
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
579
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
580
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
581
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)
587
(no changes from 1.1rc1)
589
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
590
---------------------
594
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
595
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
596
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
597
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
599
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
600
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
601
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
602
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
606
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
609
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
612
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
613
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
617
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
620
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
621
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
622
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
624
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
626
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
627
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
628
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
629
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
630
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
632
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
633
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
634
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
636
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
637
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
639
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
642
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
644
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
646
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
649
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
650
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
654
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
655
(Martin Pool, #180208)
657
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
658
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
660
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
663
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
664
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
666
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
667
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
669
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
670
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
672
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
673
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
675
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
676
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
677
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
679
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
680
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
682
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
683
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
686
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
688
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
689
user:pass embedded in the urls.
690
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
692
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
693
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
695
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
698
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
701
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
702
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
704
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
707
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
708
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
711
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
712
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
713
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
717
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
720
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
721
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
722
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
723
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
724
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
725
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
727
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
731
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
734
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
735
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
737
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
739
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
740
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
741
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
744
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
745
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
747
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
754
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
755
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
756
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
758
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
759
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
762
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
763
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
765
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
766
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
768
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
769
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
771
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
772
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
773
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
775
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
776
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
778
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
779
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
781
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
782
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
785
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
786
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
788
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
789
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
797
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
799
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
802
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
804
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
805
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.
809
bzr 1.0rc3 2007-12-11
810
---------------------
814
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
815
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
816
by mail to the mailing list.
821
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
823
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
824
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
825
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
826
feedback but also incur more latency.
827
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
829
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
830
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
834
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
836
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
841
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
842
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
843
wraps its output in a StringIO.
847
bzr 1.0rc2 2007-12-07
848
---------------------
852
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
854
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
857
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
860
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
861
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
862
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
863
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
865
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
868
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
869
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
871
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
872
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
873
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
875
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
876
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
877
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
878
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
879
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
880
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
881
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
882
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
883
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
887
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
890
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
894
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
895
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
897
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
899
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
901
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
902
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
904
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
906
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
907
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
909
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
910
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
914
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
915
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)
918
bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
919
---------------------
921
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
923
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
924
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
925
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
926
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
928
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
929
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
931
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
932
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
934
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
935
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
936
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
937
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
938
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
939
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
940
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
941
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
942
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
943
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
944
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
945
from any tree without problems.
946
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
950
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
951
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
952
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
954
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
955
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
956
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
961
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
962
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
963
supported transports.
966
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
967
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
968
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
970
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
971
(Robert Collins, #154173)
973
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
974
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
975
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
976
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
978
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
979
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
983
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
984
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
985
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
986
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
988
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
989
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
990
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
991
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
993
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
994
(Robert Collins, #88319)
996
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
997
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
999
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
1000
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
1002
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
1003
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
1008
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
1011
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
1012
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
1015
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
1016
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
1017
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
1018
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
1020
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
1021
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
1022
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
1023
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
1029
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
1030
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
1032
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
1033
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
1035
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
1036
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
1038
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
1039
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
1041
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
1042
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
1044
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
1045
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
1047
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
1048
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
1050
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
1053
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
1054
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
1056
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
1057
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
1058
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
1060
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
1061
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
1063
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
1064
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
1066
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
1067
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
1069
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
1070
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
1072
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
1073
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
1074
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
1075
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
1077
(Martin Pool, #164637)
1079
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
1080
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
1081
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
1083
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
1084
(Robert Collins, #161240)
1086
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
1088
(Martin Pool, #164443)
1090
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
1091
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
1093
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
1094
specify a port in urls.
1095
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
1097
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
1098
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
1100
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
1101
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
1103
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
1104
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
1106
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
1107
(Robert Collins, #153789)
1109
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
1110
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
1111
(Robert Collins, #165304).
1113
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
1115
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
1116
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
1118
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
1121
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
1122
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
1124
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
1125
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
1127
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
1128
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
1129
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
1131
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
1132
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
1134
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
1135
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
1136
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
1137
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
1139
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
1140
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
1142
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
1143
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
1144
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
1146
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
1147
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
1149
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
1150
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
1152
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
1153
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
1157
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
1158
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
1160
* The return value of
1161
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
1162
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
1163
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
1164
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
1166
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
1169
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
1170
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
1176
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
1177
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
1178
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
1181
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
1182
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
1184
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
1194
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
1197
bzr 0.92rc1 2007-10-29
1198
----------------------
1200
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1204
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
1205
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
1207
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
1208
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
1209
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
1210
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
1211
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
1212
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
1213
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
1214
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
1215
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
1216
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
1217
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
1218
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
1223
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
1224
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
1225
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
1226
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
1227
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
1228
for further details. (Robert Collins)
1230
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
1231
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
1232
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
1235
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
1237
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
1238
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
1240
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
1241
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
1244
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
1245
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
1246
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
1250
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
1251
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
1253
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
1254
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
1256
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
1257
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
1258
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
1259
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
1261
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
1264
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
1265
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
1266
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
1267
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
1269
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
1270
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
1272
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
1273
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
1275
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
1276
the contents. (Robert Collins)
1278
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
1279
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
1283
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
1284
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
1286
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
1287
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
1289
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
1290
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
1292
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
1293
(Martin Pool, #63894)
1295
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
1296
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
1300
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
1302
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
1307
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
1308
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
1309
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
1311
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
1312
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
1314
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
1315
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
1317
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
1318
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
1319
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
1320
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
1322
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
1323
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
1324
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
1325
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
1326
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
1328
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
1329
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
1331
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
1333
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1335
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
1336
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
1338
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
1339
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
1341
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
1342
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
1344
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
1345
contains a symbolic link.
1346
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
1348
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
1349
(James Westby, #140615)
1351
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
1352
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
1353
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
1355
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
1356
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
1357
(Martin Pool, #144633)
1359
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1361
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
1362
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
1364
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
1366
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
1368
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
1369
directory to detect leaking tests.
1370
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
1372
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
1373
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
1374
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
1376
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
1379
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
1380
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
1382
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
1387
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
1388
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
1390
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
1391
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
1392
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
1394
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
1395
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
1396
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
1398
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
1399
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
1401
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
1402
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
1404
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
1405
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
1408
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
1409
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
1411
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
1412
class that needs it.
1415
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
1416
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
1418
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
1419
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
1420
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
1422
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
1423
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
1424
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
1427
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
1428
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
1429
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
1430
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
1435
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
1436
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
1437
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
1439
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
1440
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
1441
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
1442
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
1444
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
1445
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
1448
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
1449
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
1450
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
1452
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
1453
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
1454
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
1456
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
1457
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
1459
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
1460
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
1461
to complete. (Robert Collins)
1463
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
1464
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
1466
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
1467
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
1468
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
1470
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
1471
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
1472
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
1474
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
1475
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
1476
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
1477
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
1479
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
1480
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
1481
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
1482
returned. (Robert Collins)
1484
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
1485
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
1487
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
1488
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
1489
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
1490
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
1493
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
1494
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
1498
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
1499
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
1501
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
1502
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
1503
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
1504
makes this behavior available to other users.
1507
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
1508
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
1516
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1517
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1518
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1520
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1522
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
1523
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
1524
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
1525
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
1527
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
1528
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
1532
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
1533
----------------------
1535
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
1536
in bzrlib/remote.py.
1539
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
1540
----------------------
1544
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
1545
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
1546
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
1547
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
1550
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
1551
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
1552
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
1557
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
1558
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
1559
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
1562
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
1563
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
1564
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
1566
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
1567
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
1568
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
1570
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
1571
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
1573
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
1574
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
1575
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
1576
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
1577
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
1578
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
1579
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
1580
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
1581
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
1582
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
1584
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
1585
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
1587
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
1588
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
1589
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1593
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
1594
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
1596
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
1597
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
1598
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
1600
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
1601
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
1603
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
1604
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
1606
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
1609
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
1610
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
1612
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
1613
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
1615
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
1616
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1618
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
1619
(Blake Winton, #129299)
1621
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
1623
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
1626
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
1627
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
1628
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
1629
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
1631
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1633
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
1634
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
1637
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
1638
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
1640
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
1641
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
1644
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
1645
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
1647
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
1648
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
1650
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
1651
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
1652
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
1653
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
1654
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
1655
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
1656
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
1658
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
1659
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
1661
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
1662
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
1664
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
1665
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
1667
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
1668
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
1670
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
1672
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
1674
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
1675
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
1677
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
1678
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
1679
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
1681
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1682
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1683
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1687
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
1688
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1690
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
1693
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
1696
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
1697
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1699
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
1701
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
1702
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
1704
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
1705
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
1707
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
1708
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
1709
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
1710
space). (Robert Collins)
1712
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
1713
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
1716
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
1717
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1719
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
1720
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
1722
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
1723
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
1724
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
1725
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
1727
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
1728
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
1729
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
1732
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
1735
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
1736
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
1737
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
1739
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
1740
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
1741
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
1742
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
1743
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
1747
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
1748
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
1750
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
1751
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
1752
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
1753
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
1754
affected. (Robert Collins)
1756
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
1757
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
1758
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
1761
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1762
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1766
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
1767
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
1769
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
1770
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1772
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1773
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1775
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
1778
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
1779
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1783
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
1784
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
1785
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
1786
its version information. (Robert Collins)
1788
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
1789
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1791
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
1792
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
1793
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
1794
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1796
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
1797
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
1798
present. (Robert Collins)
1800
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
1801
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
1802
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
1803
API. (Robert Collins)
1805
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
1806
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
1809
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
1810
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
1812
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
1813
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
1814
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
1815
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
1816
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
1817
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
1819
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
1820
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
1821
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
1823
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
1824
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
1825
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
1826
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
1829
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
1832
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
1833
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
1834
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
1835
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
1836
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
1837
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
1838
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
1840
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
1841
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
1842
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
1843
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
1845
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
1846
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
1847
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
1848
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
1849
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
1850
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
1852
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
1853
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
1854
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
1856
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
1857
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1865
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
1866
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
1867
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
1868
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
1869
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
1870
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
1871
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
1872
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
1877
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
1878
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
1879
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
1882
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
1883
----------------------
1887
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
1888
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
1889
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
1890
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
1891
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
1893
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
1894
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
1896
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
1898
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
1900
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
1901
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
1904
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
1905
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
1908
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
1911
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
1912
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
1914
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
1915
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
1917
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
1918
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
1920
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
1921
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
1923
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
1924
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
1926
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
1931
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
1932
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
1934
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
1935
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
1937
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
1938
the repository (Robert Collins)
1940
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
1941
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
1942
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
1943
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
1944
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
1946
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
1947
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1949
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
1950
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
1951
(John Arbash Meinel)
1953
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
1954
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
1955
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
1957
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
1958
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
1959
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
1960
(John Arbash Meinel)
1962
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
1963
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
1966
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
1967
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
1969
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
1972
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
1974
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
1976
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
1977
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
1979
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
1980
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
1983
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
1984
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
1985
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
1986
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1988
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
1989
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
1990
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
1992
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
1993
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
1994
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
1996
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
1997
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
1999
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
2000
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
2001
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
2002
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
2003
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
2004
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
2007
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
2008
(Alexander Belchenko)
2010
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
2011
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
2013
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
2014
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
2016
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
2018
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
2019
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
2023
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
2024
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
2025
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
2026
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
2028
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
2030
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
2033
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
2034
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
2035
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
2036
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
2037
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
2038
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
2042
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
2043
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
2044
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
2045
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
2047
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
2048
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
2049
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
2050
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
2051
tests have been refactored too.
2054
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
2055
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
2056
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
2060
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
2061
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
2062
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2064
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
2065
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
2066
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
2067
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
2068
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
2069
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
2070
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
2072
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
2073
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
2074
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
2075
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
2076
(John Arbash Meinel)
2078
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
2079
functionality for testing.
2081
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
2083
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
2084
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2086
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
2088
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
2091
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
2092
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
2094
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
2095
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
2096
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
2098
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
2101
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
2102
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
2104
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
2105
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
2106
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
2107
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
2109
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
2110
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
2112
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
2113
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
2114
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
2116
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
2119
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
2120
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
2121
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
2122
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
2123
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
2124
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
2126
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
2127
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
2128
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
2129
many files. (Robert Collins)
2131
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
2132
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
2133
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
2134
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
2138
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
2139
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
2140
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
2142
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
2143
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
2145
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
2146
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
2147
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2151
--------------------
2155
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
2158
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
2159
-----------------------
2163
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
2164
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
2166
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
2167
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
2168
(James Westby, #122656)
2170
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
2171
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
2173
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
2174
authentication header.
2175
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
2177
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
2179
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
2180
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
2182
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
2184
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
2185
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
2187
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
2188
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
2189
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
2191
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
2192
individually and as part of revision ranges.
2193
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
2195
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
2196
(Martin Pool, #109169)
2198
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
2199
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
2201
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
2202
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
2204
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2206
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
2210
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
2211
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
2212
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
2213
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
2214
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
2215
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
2217
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
2218
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
2219
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
2221
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
2224
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
2225
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
2227
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
2228
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
2230
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
2231
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
2233
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
2234
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
2235
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
2236
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
2237
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
2239
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
2240
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
2242
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
2243
can be slow it is useful feedback).
2244
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
2246
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
2247
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
2249
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
2251
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
2252
output. (Aaron Bentley)
2254
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
2255
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
2258
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
2261
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
2262
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
2264
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
2265
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
2267
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
2268
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
2270
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
2272
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
2273
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
2275
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
2280
* Testing cleanups -
2281
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
2282
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
2283
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
2284
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
2285
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2286
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
2287
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2288
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
2289
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2290
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
2291
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
2292
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
2293
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2294
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
2295
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2296
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
2297
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
2300
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
2302
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
2303
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
2304
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
2306
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
2307
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
2309
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
2310
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2312
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
2314
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
2315
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
2316
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
2317
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
2318
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
2319
same location. (Robert Collins)
2323
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
2325
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
2327
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
2329
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
2332
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
2335
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
2336
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
2337
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
2339
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
2341
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
2342
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
2343
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
2345
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
2346
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
2348
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
2349
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
2350
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
2352
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
2353
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
2354
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
2356
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
2357
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
2358
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
2360
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
2361
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
2364
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
2365
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
2367
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
2368
(Alexander Belchenko)
2372
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
2373
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
2374
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
2375
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2377
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
2378
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
2379
testing. (Robert Collins)
2381
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
2382
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
2384
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
2385
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
2386
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
2387
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
2388
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
2389
attribute during the test parameterisation in
2390
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
2392
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
2393
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
2394
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
2395
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
2397
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
2398
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
2400
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
2401
avoid useless cloning.
2402
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
2406
--------------------
2410
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
2411
(Colin Watson, #120647)
2413
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.
2414

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2422
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
2423
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
2424
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
2425
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
2426
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
2427
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
2428
and unlock() like so::
2430
work_tree.lock_read()
2432
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
2437
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
2438
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
2440
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
2441
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
2442
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
2444
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
2445
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
2446
too. (Robert Collins)
2450
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
2451
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
2454
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
2455
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
2457
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
2458
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
2460
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
2461
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
2462
understanding what changes have occurred
2463
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
2465
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
2466
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
2467
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2469
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
2470
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
2471
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
2472
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
2474
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
2479
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
2480
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
2481
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
2482
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
2483
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
2485
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
2486
based on split paths, not just string paths.
2487
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
2489
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
2490
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
2492
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
2494
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
2496
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
2497
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
2499
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
2500
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
2502
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
2503
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
2505
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
2506
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
2508
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
2509
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
2511
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
2512
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
2513
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
2516
--------------------
2520
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
2521
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
2522
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
2523
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
2524
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
2526
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
2527
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
2528
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
2530
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
2531
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
2535
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
2536
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
2537
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
2539
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
2540
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
2541
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
2542
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
