5
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
6
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
7
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
8
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
9
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
16
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
17
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
18
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
19
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
20
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
22
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
23
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
24
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
26
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
27
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
29
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
33
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
34
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
35
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
36
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
38
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
39
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
40
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
42
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
43
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
45
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
46
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
48
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
49
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
51
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
55
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
56
it could be recovered again.
57
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
58
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
59
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
61
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
63
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
64
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
68
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
69
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
71
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
72
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
73
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
74
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
76
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
77
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
79
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
80
tests with names that match that regular expression.
81
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
83
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
84
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
85
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
87
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
88
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
89
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
91
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
92
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
95
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
98
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
99
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
100
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
101
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
103
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
106
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
107
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
108
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
111
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
112
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
114
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
115
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
117
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
118
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
119
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
120
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
123
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
124
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
126
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
127
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
129
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
130
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
131
(Robert Collins, #107125).
133
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
134
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
135
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
137
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
138
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
139
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
141
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
142
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
143
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
144
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
146
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
147
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
148
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
149
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
151
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
152
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
153
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
154
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
155
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
156
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
157
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
158
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
164
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
165
code paths. (Robert Collins)
167
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
168
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
169
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
170
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
171
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
173
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
174
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
176
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
177
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
179
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
180
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
182
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
183
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
185
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
186
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
187
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
190
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
191
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
192
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
193
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
194
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
197
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
198
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
199
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
201
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
202
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
205
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
206
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
207
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
210
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
211
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
212
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
213
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
214
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
216
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
217
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
218
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
219
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
221
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
222
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
224
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
225
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
226
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
227
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
228
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
229
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
231
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
232
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
234
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
235
help. (Robert Collins)
237
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
238
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
240
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
241
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
242
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
243
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
246
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
247
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
248
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
249
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
250
useful. (Robert Collins)
252
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
257
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
258
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
260
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
261
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
263
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
264
properly and is no longer beneficial.
265
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
267
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
270
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
271
the file, and does it faster.
272
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
274
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
275
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
276
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
278
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
279
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
280
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
281
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
283
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
284
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
285
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
286
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
288
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
289
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
291
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
292
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
293
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
294
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
297
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
299
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
300
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
302
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
303
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
305
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
306
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
307
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
308
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
312
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
313
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
317
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
318
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
319
in running it. (Robert Collins)
321
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
322
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
324
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
325
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
326
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
327
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
328
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
329
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
330
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
331
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
333
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
334
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
335
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
337
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
338
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
339
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
340
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
341
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
343
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
345
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
346
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
347
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
349
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
350
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
357
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
360
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
361
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
364
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
368
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
369
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
374
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
375
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
376
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
377
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
378
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
379
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
380
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
381
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
386
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
387
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
388
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
390
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
391
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
394
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
395
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
398
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
399
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
400
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
401
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
402
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
406
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
409
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
410
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
412
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
413
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
415
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
416
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
417
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
419
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
420
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
422
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
423
last-changed-revision for directories. The
424
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
425
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
426
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
428
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
429
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
430
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
432
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
435
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
437
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
439
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
440
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
441
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
445
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
446
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
448
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
449
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
451
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
453
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
454
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
456
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
457
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
461
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
466
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
467
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
468
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
469
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
471
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
472
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
474
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
475
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
477
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
480
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
481
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
484
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
488
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
489
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
490
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
491
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
492
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
493
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
495
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
496
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
497
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
498
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
499
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
500
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
502
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
504
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
505
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
506
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
507
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
508
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
509
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
510
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
511
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
515
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
516
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
518
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
519
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
520
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
521
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
523
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
524
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
525
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
526
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
527
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
529
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
532
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
535
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
538
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
539
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
542
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
545
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
546
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
548
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
549
directory. (Martin Pool)
551
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
552
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
553
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
554
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
556
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
557
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
558
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
559
in docs/configuration.txt.
561
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
562
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
565
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
566
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
567
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
568
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
569
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
570
repositories. (Martin Pool)
572
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
573
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
575
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
576
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
578
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
583
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
584
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
585
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
586
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
587
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
590
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
591
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
594
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
595
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
598
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
599
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
600
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
601
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
602
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
603
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
605
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
606
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
607
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
609
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
610
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
611
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
612
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
614
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
616
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
617
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
618
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
619
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
621
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
622
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
623
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
624
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
626
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
627
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
628
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
630
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
631
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
632
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
634
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
635
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
636
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
637
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
639
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
640
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
641
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
643
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
644
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
645
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
647
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
648
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
649
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
650
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
651
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
652
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
653
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
654
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
655
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
656
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
657
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
661
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
662
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
663
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
665
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
668
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
669
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
670
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
671
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
673
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
674
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
677
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
678
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
680
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
682
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
683
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
684
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
686
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
687
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
689
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
690
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
692
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
693
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
695
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
696
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
698
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
700
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
701
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
705
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
706
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
713
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
717
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
718
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
719
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
721
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
722
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
723
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
726
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
730
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
731
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
732
server, then you can write over the http connection.
733
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
735
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
738
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
739
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
740
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
742
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
743
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
745
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
748
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
749
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
750
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
751
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
752
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
753
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
755
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
756
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
757
should enable you to do::
760
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
761
push_location:policy = appendpath
763
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
764
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
767
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
768
for each file. For example::
776
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
777
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
779
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
781
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
782
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
784
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
788
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
789
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
790
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
791
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
793
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
794
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
795
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
797
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
799
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
800
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
801
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
802
(Alexander Belchenko)
804
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
807
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
808
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
810
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
814
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
815
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
817
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
818
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
819
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
820
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
821
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
823
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
824
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
826
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
827
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
829
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
831
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
833
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
834
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
835
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
836
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
837
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
839
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
840
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
841
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
842
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
844
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
845
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
847
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
848
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
850
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
851
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
853
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
854
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)
859
No changes from 0.13rc1
861
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
865
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
869
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
870
operations are substantially faster.
871
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
873
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
874
tree from some other url. For example:
875
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
878
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
879
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
880
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
881
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
883
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
886
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
887
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
888
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
889
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
890
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
891
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
895
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
896
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
899
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
900
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
903
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
904
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
905
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
908
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
909
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
911
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
912
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
914
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
915
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
920
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
921
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
922
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
924
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
925
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
926
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
927
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
929
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
931
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
932
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
934
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
935
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
936
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
937
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
939
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
940
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
941
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
943
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
944
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
945
them as full references rather than integers.
946
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
948
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
949
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
951
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
953
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
954
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
956
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
957
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
959
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
960
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
961
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
962
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
964
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
965
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
966
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
968
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
969
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
971
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
972
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
973
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
974
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
975
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
979
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
980
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
986
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
987
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
990
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
994
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
995
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
996
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
997
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
999
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
1000
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
1002
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
1004
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
1005
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
1006
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
1007
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1009
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
1010
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
1011
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
1012
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
1013
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
1015
API INCOMPATABILITY:
1017
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
1018
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
1022
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
1023
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
1024
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1026
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
1027
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
1028
(John Arbash Meinel)
1030
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
1031
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
1032
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
1034
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
1035
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
1038
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
1039
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
1040
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1042
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
1043
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
1044
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
1045
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
1046
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
1047
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1049
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
1050
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
1051
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
1054
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
1055
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
1059
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
1060
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
1061
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
1064
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
1065
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
1067
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
1068
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
1069
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
1071
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
1072
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
1074
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
1075
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
1076
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
1077
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
1079
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
1080
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
1082
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
1083
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
1084
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
1086
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
1087
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
1089
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1091
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
1092
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
1097
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
1098
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
1099
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
1100
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
1102
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
1103
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
1104
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1108
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
1110
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
1114
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
1116
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
1119
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
1123
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
1124
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
1125
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
1126
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
1127
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
1128
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
1129
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
1131
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
1132
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
1133
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
1135
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
1137
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
1138
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
1140
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
1141
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
1142
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
1145
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
1146
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
1147
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
1148
(John Arbash Meinel)
1150
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
1151
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
1152
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
1153
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
1156
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
1157
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
1158
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
1159
(John Arbash Meinel)
1163
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
1164
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
1166
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
1168
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
1169
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
1170
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
1172
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
1173
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
1175
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
1176
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
1178
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
1179
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
1181
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
1182
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
1184
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
1186
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
1187
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
1189
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
1190
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
1192
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
1193
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
1195
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
1196
(John Arbash Meinel)
1198
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
1199
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
1200
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
1202
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
1203
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1205
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
1206
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
1207
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
1208
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
1210
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
1211
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
1212
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
1214
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
1215
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
1219
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
1223
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
1224
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
1225
(John Arbash Meinel)
1227
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
1228
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
1229
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
1230
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1232
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
1235
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
1236
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
1237
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
1239
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
1240
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
1242
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
1243
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
1244
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
1246
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
1247
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
1248
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
1249
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
1250
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
1251
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
1252
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
1253
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
1254
caller to repeat their request.
1255
(John Arbash Meinel)
1257
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
1258
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
1260
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
1261
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
1263
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
1264
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
1265
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
1266
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
1267
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
1268
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
1269
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
1271
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
1272
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
1273
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
1274
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
1275
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
1276
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
1277
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
1278
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
1281
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
1282
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
1283
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
1285
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
1286
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
1288
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
1289
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
1291
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
1292
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1296
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
1297
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
1299
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
1300
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
1301
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1303
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
1304
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
1305
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1310
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
1311
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
1313
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
1314
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
1315
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
1316
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
1317
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
1319
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
1320
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
1321
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
1323
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
1324
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
1326
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
1327
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
1328
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1332
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
1334
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
1335
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
1336
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
1338
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
1340
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
1342
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
1343
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
1344
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
1345
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
1347
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
1348
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
1349
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
1350
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
1351
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
1353
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
1354
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
1356
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
1357
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
1359
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
1360
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
1362
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
1363
in handling of revision properties.
1364
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
1366
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
1367
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
1371
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
1372
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
1373
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
1374
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
1375
(John Arbash Meinel)
1377
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
1378
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
1379
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
1381
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
1385
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
1386
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
1387
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
1388
specific one '.bzrignore'.
1389
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
1390
a more conservative list than the old default.
1391
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
1392
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
1393
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
1394
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
1396
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
1397
to more locations than just branch locations.
1402
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
1403
revno:N:branch. For example,
1404
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
1405
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
1407
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
1408
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
1409
the path of a file that has been versioned.
1410
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
1411
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
1412
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
1413
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
1414
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
1417
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
1418
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
1419
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
1422
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
1423
(Alexander Belchenko)
1425
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
1427
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
1430
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
1431
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
1432
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
1433
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
1434
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
1435
(John Arbash Meinel)
1437
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
1438
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
1439
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
1440
grained analysis of performance.
1441
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1443
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
1444
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
1446
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
1447
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
1448
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
1449
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
1450
file. (Robert Collins).
1452
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
1453
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
1454
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
1456
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
1457
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
1460
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
1461
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
1463
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
1464
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
1465
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
1466
the same way you would apply another branch.
1467
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1469
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
1470
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
1472
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
1475
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
1478
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
1479
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
1480
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
1482
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
1483
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
1484
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
1486
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
1487
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
1489
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
1490
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
1491
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
1492
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
1493
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
1495
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
1496
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
1498
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
1499
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
1500
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
1501
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
1502
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
1503
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
1504
branch is as much as 4x faster.
1505
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
1507
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
1508
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
1509
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
1513
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
1515
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
1517
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
1518
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1520
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
1521
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
1523
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
1524
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
1526
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
1528
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
1529
(John Arbash Meinel)
1531
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
1532
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
1534
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
1535
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
1538
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
1539
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
1541
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
1542
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
1544
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
1545
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
1546
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
1547
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
1549
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
1550
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
1552
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
1554
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
1555
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
1557
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
1559
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
1561
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
1562
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
1564
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
1565
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
1567
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
1568
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
1569
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
1571
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
1572
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
1573
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
1575
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
1576
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
1578
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
1579
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
1581
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
1582
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
1584
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
1585
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
1587
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
1588
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
1590
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
1591
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
1592
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
1594
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
1596
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
1597
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
1601
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
1602
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
1603
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
1605
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
1606
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
1608
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
1609
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
1610
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1612
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
1613
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1615
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
1616
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
1619
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
1620
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
1621
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1623
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
1624
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
1625
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1627
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
1628
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
1629
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
1631
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
1632
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
1633
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)

1636
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
1637
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
1639
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``

1699
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1701
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
1702
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
1703
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
1704
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
1705
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
1706
will keep the same format.
1708
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
1709
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
1710
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
1711
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
1712
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
1714
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
1715
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
1716
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
1717
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
1718
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
1719
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
1720
indicating the current revision of the branch.
1722
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
1723
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
1724
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
1725
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
1726
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
1728
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
1729
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
1730
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
1736
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
1737
convention. Paths now take the form::
1739
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
1741
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
1743
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
1744
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
1746
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
1747
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
1748
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
1750
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
1751
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
1752
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
1753
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
1755
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
1756
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
1757
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
1759
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
1761
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
1763
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
1764
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
1767
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
1768
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
1771
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
1773
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
1774
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
1775
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
1778
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
1780
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
1782
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
1785
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
1786
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
1788
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
1789
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
1792
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
1793
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
1796
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
1798
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
1800
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
1801
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
1803
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
1804
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
1805
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
1806
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
1807
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
1808
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
1810
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
1812
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
1813
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
1816
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
1817
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
1819
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
1820
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
1822
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
1824
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
1825
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
1826
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
1827
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
1828
specification by Martin Pool.
1829
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
1831
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
1834
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
1835
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1837
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
1838
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
1839
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
1841
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
1843
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
1844
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
1849
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
1850
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1852
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
1854
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
1856
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
1859
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
1860
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
1861
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
1862
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
1866
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
1867
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
1868
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
1869
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1871
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
1872
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
1873
tried. (Martin Pool)
1875
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
1878
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
1880
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
1881
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
1882
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
1884
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
1885
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
1887
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
1888
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
1889
paths. (Robert Collins)
1891
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
1892
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
1893
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
1895
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
1896
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
1897
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
1899
* Progress bars are now nested - see
1900
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
1901
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
1903
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
1906
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
1909
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
1911
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
1913
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
1914
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
1915
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
1918
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
1919
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
1921
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
1922
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
1923
check. (Robert Collins)
1925
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
1926
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
1930
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
1931
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
1933
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
1934
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
1935
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
1936
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
1938
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
1939
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
1940
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
1941
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
1942
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
1944
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
1945
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
1946
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
1948
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
1950
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
1951
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
