bzr-0.0.2 "black cube" NOT RELEASED YET
1
IN DEVELOPMENT
2
3
IMPROVEMENTS:
4
5
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
6
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
7
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
8
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
9
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.

bzr 0.17rc1 2007-06-12

14
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
15
16
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
17
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
18
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
19
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
20
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
21
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
22
and unlock() like so::
23
24
work_tree.lock_read()
25
try:
26
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
27
finally:
28
work_tree.unlock()
29
30
INTERNALS:
31
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
32
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
33
object.
34
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
35
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
36
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
37
38
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
39
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
40
too. (Robert Collins)
41
42
IMPROVEMENTS:
43
44
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
45
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
46
Aaron Bentley)
47
48
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
49
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
50
51
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
52
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
53
54
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
55
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
56
understanding what changes have occurred
57
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
58
59
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
60
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
61
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
62
63
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
64
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
65
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
66
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
67
68
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
69
#56322)
70
71
BUGFIXES:
72
73
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
74
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
75
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
76
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
77
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
78
79
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
80
based on split paths, not just string paths.
81
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
82
83
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
84
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
85
86
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
87
into account.
88
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
89
90
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
91
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
92
93
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
94
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
95
96
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
97
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
98
99
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
100
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
101
102
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
103
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
104
105
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
106
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
107
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
108
109
bzr 0.16 2007-05-07
110
111
BUGFIXES:
112
113
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
114
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
115
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
116
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
117
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
118
119
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
120
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
121
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
122
123
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
124
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
125
126
IMPROVEMENTS:
127
128
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
129
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
130
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
131
132
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
133
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
134
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
135
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
136
137
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
138
139
BUGFIXES:
140
141
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
142
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
143
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
144
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
145
146
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
147
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
148
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
149
150
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
151
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
152
153
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
154
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
155
156
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
157
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
158
159
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
160
161
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
162
163
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
164
it could be recovered again.
165
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
166
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
167
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
168
but not delete it.
169
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
170
files.
171
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
172
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
173
174
IMPROVEMENTS:
175
176
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
177
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
178
179
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
180
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
181
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
182
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
183
184
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
185
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
186
187
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
188
tests with names that match that regular expression.
189
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
190
191
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
192
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
193
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
194
195
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
196
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
197
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
198
199
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
200
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
201
Robert Collins)
202
203
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
204
Pool)
205
206
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
207
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
208
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
209
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
210
211
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
212
(Robert Collins)
213
214
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
215
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
216
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
217
(Robert Collins)
218
219
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
220
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
221
222
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
223
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
224
225
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
226
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
227
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
228
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
229
(Robert Collins)
230
231
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
232
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
233
234
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
235
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
236
237
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
238
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
239
(Robert Collins, #107125).
240
241
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
242
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
243
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
244
245
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
246
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
247
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
248
249
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
250
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
251
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
252
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
253
254
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
255
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
256
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
257
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
258
259
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
260
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
261
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
262
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
263
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
264
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
265
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
266
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
267
header(s).
268
(Vincent Ladeuil).
269
270
INTERNALS:
271
272
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
273
code paths. (Robert Collins)
274
275
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
276
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
277
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
278
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
279
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
280
281
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
282
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
283
284
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
285
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
286
287
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
288
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
289
290
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
291
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
292
293
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
294
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
295
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
296
(Robert Collins).
297
298
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
299
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
300
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
301
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
302
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
303
(Robert Collins)
304
305
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
306
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
307
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
308
309
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
310
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
311
(Vincent Ladeuil).
312
313
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
314
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
315
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
316
(Vincent Ladeuil).
317
318
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
319
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
320
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
321
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
322
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
323
324
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
325
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
326
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
327
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
328
329
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
330
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
331
332
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
333
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
334
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
335
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
336
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
337
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
338
339
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
340
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
341
342
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
343
help. (Robert Collins)
344
345
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
346
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
347
348
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
349
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
350
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
351
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
352
(John Arbash Meinel)
353
354
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
355
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
356
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
357
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
358
useful. (Robert Collins)
359
360
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
361
(Andrew Bennetts)
362
363
BUGFIXES:
364
365
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
366
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
367
368
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
369
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
370
371
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
372
properly and is no longer beneficial.
373
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
374
375
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
376
(Aaron Bentley)
377
378
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
379
the file, and does it faster.
380
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
381
382
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
383
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
384
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
385
386
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
387
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
388
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
389
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
390
391
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
392
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
393
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
394
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
395
396
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
397
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
398
399
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
400
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
401
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
402
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
403
Arbash Meinel)
404
405
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
406
407
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
408
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
409
410
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
411
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
412
413
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
414
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
415
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
416
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
417
security hole.
418
(Vincent Ladeuil)
419
420
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
421
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).

* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
426
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
427
in running it. (Robert Collins)
428
429
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
430
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
431
432
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
433
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
434
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
435
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
436
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
437
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
438
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
439
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
440
441
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
442
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
443
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
444
445
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
446
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
447
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
448
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
449
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
450
access.
451
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
452
453
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
454
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
455
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
456
457
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
458
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

465
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
466
(Aaron Bentley)
467
468

469
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.

473
474
CHANGES:
475
476
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
477
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
478
(Martin Pool)
479
480
IMPROVEMENTS:
481
482
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
483
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
484
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
485
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
486
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
487
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
488
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
489
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
490
path. (vila)
491
492
INTERNALS:
493
494
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
495
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
496
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
497
498
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
499
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
500
(Martin Pool)
501
502
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
503
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
504
(John Arbash Meinel)
505
506
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
507
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
508
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
509
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
510
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
511
512
BUGFIXES:
513
514
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
515
(vila, #92195)
516
517
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
518
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
519
520
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
521
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
522
523
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
524
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
525
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
526
527
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
528
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
529
530
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
531
last-changed-revision for directories. The
532
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
533
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
534
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
535
536
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
537
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
538
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
539
540
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
544
545
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
546
547
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
548
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
549
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
550
551
IMPROVEMENTS:
552
553
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
554
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
555
556
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
557
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
558
559
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
560
561
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
562
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
563
564
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
565
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
566
567
INTERNALS:
568
569
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
570
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
571
572
BUGFIXES:
573
574
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
575
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
576
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
577
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
578
579
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
580
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
581
582
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
583
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
584
585
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
586
(Marien Zwart)
587
588
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
589
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
590
591
592
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
593
594
SURPRISES:
595
596
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
597
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
598
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
599
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
600
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
601
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
602
603
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
604
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
605
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
606
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
607
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
608
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
609
development.
610
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
611
612
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
613
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
614
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
615
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
616
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
617
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
618
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
619
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
620
621
IMPROVEMENTS:
622
623
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
624
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
625
626
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
627
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
628
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
629
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
630
does exist.
631
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
632
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
633
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
634
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
635
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
636
637
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
638
(Aaron Bentley)
639
640
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
641
(Aaron Bentley)
642
643
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
644
(Robert Collins)
645
646
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
647
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
648
(Aaron Bentley)
649
650
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
651
(Aaron Bentley)
652
653
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
654
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
655
656
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
657
directory. (Martin Pool)
658
659
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
660
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
661
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
662
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
663
664
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
665
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
666
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
667
in docs/configuration.txt.
668
669
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
670
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
671
bind location.
672
673
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
674
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
675
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
676
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
677
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
678
repositories. (Martin Pool)
679
680
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
681
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
682
683
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
684
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
685
686
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
687
(Aaron Bentley)
688
689
INTERNALS:
690
691
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
692
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
693
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
694
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
695
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
696
(John Arbash Meinel)
697
698
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
699
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
700
(Aaron Bentley)
701
702
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
703
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
704
(John Arbash Meinel)
705
706
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
707
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
708
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
709
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
710
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
711
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
712
713
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
714
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
715
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
716
717
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
718
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
719
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
720
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
721
repository.
722
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
723
724
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
725
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
726
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
727
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
728
729
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
730
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
731
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
732
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
733
734
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
735
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
736
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
737
738
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
739
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
740
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
741
742
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
743
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
744
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
745
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
746
747
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
748
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
749
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
750
751
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
752
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
753
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
754
755
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
756
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
757
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
758
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
759
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
760
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
761
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
762
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
763
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
764
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
765
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
766
767
BUGFIXES:
768
769
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
770
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
771
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
772
773
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
774
(Aaron Bentley)
775
776
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
777
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
778
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
779
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
780
781
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
782
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
783
#83954).
784
785
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
786
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
787
788
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
789
790
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
791
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
792
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
793
794
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
795
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
796
797
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
798
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
799
800
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
801
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
802
803
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
804
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
805
806
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
807
808
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
809
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
810
811
TESTING:
812
813
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
814
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

819
IMPROVEMENTS:
820
821
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
822
823
BUG FIXES:
824
825
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
826
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
827
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
828
829
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
830
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
831
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
832
833
834
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
835
836
IMPROVEMENTS:
837
838
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
839
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
840
server, then you can write over the http connection.
841
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
842
843
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
844
(Marius Kruger)
845
846
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
847
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
848
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
849
850
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
851
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
852
853
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
854
(Aaron Bentley)
855
856
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
857
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
858
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
859
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
860
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
861
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
862
863
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
864
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
865
should enable you to do::
866
867
[/home/user/project]
868
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
869
push_location:policy = appendpath
870
871
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
872
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
873
(James Henstridge)
874
875
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
876
for each file. For example::
877
878
$ bzr status --short
879
A foo
880
A bar
881
D baz
882
? wooley
883
884
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
885
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
886
887
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
888
889
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
890
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
891
892
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
893
894
INTERNALS:
895
896
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
897
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
898
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
899
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
900
901
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
902
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
903
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
904
905
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
906
907
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
908
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
909
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
910
(Alexander Belchenko)
911
912
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
913
Pool)
914
915
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
916
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
917
918
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
919
920
BUG FIXES:
921
922
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
923
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
924
925
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
926
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
927
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
928
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
929
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
930
931
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
932
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
933
934
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
935
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
936
937
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
938
matcher.
939
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
940
941
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
942
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
943
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
944
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
945
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
946
947
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
948
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
949
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
950
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
951
952
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
953
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
954
955
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
956
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
957
958
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
959
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
960
961
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

971
IMPROVEMENTS:
972
973
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
974
tree from a branch.
975
(Daniel Silverstone)
976
977
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
978
operations are substantially faster.
979
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
980
981
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
982
tree from some other url. For example:
983
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
984
(Daniel Silverstone)
985
986
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
987
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
988
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
989
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
990
991
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
992
(Andrew Bennetts)
993
994
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
995
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
996
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
997
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
998
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
999
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
1000
1001
INTERNALS:
1002
1003
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
1004
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
1005
(Martin Pool)
1006
1007
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1008
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1009
(John Arbash Meinel)
1010
1011
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
1012
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
1013
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
1014
(John Arbash Meinel)
1015
1016
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
1017
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
1018
1019
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
1020
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1021
1022
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
1023
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
1024
Bennetts)
1025
1026
BUG FIXES:
1027
1028
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
1029
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
1030
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
1031
1032
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
1033
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
1034
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
1035
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
1036
1037
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
1038
1039
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
1040
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
1041
1042
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
1043
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
1044
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
1045
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
1046
1047
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
1048
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
1049
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
1050
1051
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
1052
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
1053
them as full references rather than integers.
1054
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
1055
1056
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
1057
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
1058
1059
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
1060
1061
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
1062
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
1063
1064
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
1065
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
1066
1067
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
1068
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
1069
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
1070
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
1071
1072
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
1073
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
1074
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
1075
1076
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
1077
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
1078
1079
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
1080
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
1081
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
1082
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
1083
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
1084
1085
TESTING:
1086
1087
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
1088
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
1089
1090
bzr 0.12 2006-10-30
1091
1092
INTERNALS:
1093
1094
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1095
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1096
(John Arbash Meinel)
1097
1098
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
1099
1100
IMPROVEMENTS:
1101
1102
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
1103
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
1104
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
1105
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
1106
1107
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
1108
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
1109
1110
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
1111
1112
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
1113
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
1114
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
1115
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1116
1117
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
1118
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
1119
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
1120
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
1121
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
1122
1123
API INCOMPATABILITY:
1124
1125
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
1126
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
1127
1128
INTERNALS:
1129
1130
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
1131
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
1132
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1133
1134
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
1135
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
1136
(John Arbash Meinel)
1137
1138
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
1139
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
1140
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
1141
1142
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
1143
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
1144
(Aaron Bentley)
1145
1146
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
1147
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
1148
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1149
1150
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
1151
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
1152
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
1153
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
1154
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
1155
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1156
1157
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
1158
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
1159
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
1160
(Robert Collins)
1161
1162
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
1163
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
1164
1165
BUG FIXES:
1166
1167
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
1168
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
1169
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
1170
#63360, #66349)
1171
1172
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
1173
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
1174
1175
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
1176
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
1177
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
1178
1179
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
1180
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
1181
1182
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
1183
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
1184
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
1185
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
1186
1187
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
1188
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
1189
1190
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
1191
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
1192
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
1193
1194
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
1195
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
1196
1197
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1198
1199
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
1200
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
1201
#32054)
1202
1203
TESTING:
1204
1205
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
1206
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
1207
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
1208
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
1209
1210
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
1211
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
1212
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1213
1214
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
1219
1220
BUG FIXES:
1221
1222
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
1223
1224
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
1225
Arbash Meinel).
1226
1227
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
1228
1229
IMPROVEMENTS:
1230
1231
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
1232
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
1233
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
1234
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
1235
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
1236
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
1237
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
1238
1239
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
1240
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
1241
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
1242
1243
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
1244
1245
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
1246
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
1247
1248
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
1249
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
1250
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
1251
(Robert Collins)
1252
1253
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
1254
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
1255
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
1256
(John Arbash Meinel)
1257
1258
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
1259
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
1260
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
1261
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
1262
Pool)
1263
1264
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
1265
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
1266
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
1267
(John Arbash Meinel)
1268
1269
BUG FIXES:
1270
1271
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
1272
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
1273
1274
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
1275
1276
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
1277
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
1278
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
1279
1280
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
1281
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
1282
1283
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
1284
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
1285
1286
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
1287
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
1288
1289
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
1290
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
1291
1292
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
1293
1294
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
1295
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
1296
1297
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
1298
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
1299
1300
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
1301
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
1302
1303
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
1304
(John Arbash Meinel)
1305
1306
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
1307
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
1308
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
1309
1310
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
1311
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1312
1313
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
1314
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
1315
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
1316
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
1317
1318
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
1319
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
1320
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
1321
1322
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
1323
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
1324
1325
PORTABILITY:
1326
1327
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
1328
1329
INTERNALS:
1330
1331
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
1332
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
1333
(John Arbash Meinel)
1334
1335
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
1336
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
1337
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
1338
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1339
1340
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
1341
(Andrew Bennetts)
1342
1343
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
1344
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
1345
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
1346
1347
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
1348
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
1349
1350
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
1351
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
1352
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
1353
1354
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
1355
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
1356
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
1357
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
1358
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
1359
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
1360
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
1361
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
1362
caller to repeat their request.
1363
(John Arbash Meinel)
1364
1365
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
1366
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
1367
1368
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
1369
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
1370
1371
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
1372
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
1373
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
1374
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
1375
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
1376
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
1377
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
1378
1379
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
1380
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
1381
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
1382
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
1383
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
1384
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
1385
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
1386
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
1387
(Robert Collins)
1388
1389
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
1390
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
1391
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
1392
1393
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
1394
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
1395
1396
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
1397
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
1398
1399
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
1400
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1401
1402
TESTING:
1403
1404
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
1405
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
1406
1407
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
1408
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
1409
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1410
1411
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
1412
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
1413
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1414
1415
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
1416
1417
IMPROVEMENTS:
1418
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
1419
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
1420
1421
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
1422
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
1423
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
1424
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
1425
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
1426
1427
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
1428
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
1429
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
1430
1431
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
1432
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
1433
1434
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
1435
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
1436
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1437
1438
BUG FIXES:
1439
1440
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
1441
1442
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
1443
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
1444
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
1445
1446
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
1447
1448
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
1449
1450
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
1451
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
1452
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
1453
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
1454
1455
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
1456
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
1457
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
1458
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
1459
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
1460
1461
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
1462
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
1463
1464
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
1465
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
1466
1467
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
1468
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
1469
1470
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
1471
in handling of revision properties.
1472
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
1473
1474
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
1475
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
1476
1477
INTERNALS:
1478
1479
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
1480
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
1481
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
1482
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
1483
(John Arbash Meinel)
1484
1485
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
1486
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
1487
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
1488
1489
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
1490
1491
SURPRISES:
1492
1493
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
1494
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
1495
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
1496
specific one '.bzrignore'.
1497
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
1498
a more conservative list than the old default.
1499
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
1500
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
1501
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
1502
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
1503
1504
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
1505
to more locations than just branch locations.
1506
(Aaron Bentley)
1507
1508
IMPROVEMENTS:
1509
1510
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
1511
revno:N:branch. For example,
1512
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
1513
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
1514
1515
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
1516
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
1517
the path of a file that has been versioned.
1518
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
1519
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
1520
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
1521
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
1522
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
1523
#42517, #42514)
1524
1525
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
1526
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
1527
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
1528
(Malone #3507)
1529
1530
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
1531
(Alexander Belchenko)
1532
1533
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
1534
1535
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
1536
(Robert Collins).
1537
1538
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
1539
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
1540
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
1541
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
1542
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
1543
(John Arbash Meinel)
1544
1545
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
1546
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
1547
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
1548
grained analysis of performance.
1549
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1550
1551
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
1552
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
1553
1554
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
1555
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
1556
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
1557
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
1558
file. (Robert Collins).
1559
1560
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
1561
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
1562
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
1563
1564
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
1565
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
1566
Matthieu Moy)
1567
1568
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
1569
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
1570
1571
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
1572
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
1573
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
1574
the same way you would apply another branch.
1575
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1576
1577
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
1578
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
1579
1580
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
1581
(Michael Ellerman)
1582
1583
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
1584
(Aaron Bentley)
1585
1586
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
1587
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
1588
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
1589
1590
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
1591
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
1592
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
1593
1594
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
1595
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
1596
1597
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
1598
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
1599
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
1600
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
1601
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
1602
1603
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
1604
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
1605
1606
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
1607
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
1608
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
1609
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
1610
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
1611
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
1612
branch is as much as 4x faster.
1613
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
1614
1615
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
1616
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
1617
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
1618
1619
BUG FIXES:
1620
1621
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
1622
tests not to run.
1623
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
1624
1625
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
1626
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1627
1628
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
1629
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
1630
1631
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
1632
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
1633
1634
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
1635
1636
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
1637
(John Arbash Meinel)
1638
1639
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
1640
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
1641
1642
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
1643
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
1644
and y.
1645
1646
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
1647
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
1648
1649
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
1650
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
1651
1652
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
1653
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
1654
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
1655
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
1656
1657
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
1658
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
1659
1660
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
1661
1662
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
1663
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
1664
1665
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
1666
1667
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
1668
1669
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
1670
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
1671
1672
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
1673
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
1674
1675
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
1676
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
1677
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
1678
1679
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
1680
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
1681
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
1682
1683
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
1684
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
1685
1686
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
1687
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
1688
1689
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
1690
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
1691
1692
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
1693
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
1694
1695
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
1696
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
1697
1698
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
1699
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
1700
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
1701
1702
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
1703
1704
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
1705
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
1706
1707
INTERNALS:
1708
1709
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
1710
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
1711
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
1712
1713
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
1714
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
1715
1716
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
1717
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
1718
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1719
1720
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
1721
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1722
1723
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
1724
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
1725
(Martin Pool)
1726
1727
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
1728
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
1729
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1730
1731
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
1732
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
1733
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1734
1735
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
1736
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
1737
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
1738
1739
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
1740
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
1741
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
1742
1743
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
1744
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
1745
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
1746
1747
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
1748
instead. (Robert Collins)
1749
1750
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
1751
1752
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
1753
1754
BUG FIXES:
1755
1756
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
1757
1758
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
1759
1760
BUG FIXES:
1761
1762
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
1763
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
1764
1765
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
1766
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1767
1768
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
1769
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
1770
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
1771
1772
CHANGES:
1773
1774
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
1775
1776
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
1777
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)

CHANGES:
1782
1783
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
1784
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
1785
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
1786
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
1787
1788
NEW FEATURES:
1789
1790
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
1791
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.

INTERNALS:
1795
1796
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
1797
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
1798
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)

bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
1806
1807
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1808
1809
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
1810
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
1811
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
1812
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
1813
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
1814
will keep the same format.
1815
1816
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
1817
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
1818
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
1819
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
1820
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
1821
1822
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
1823
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
1824
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
1825
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
1826
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
1827
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
1828
indicating the current revision of the branch.
1829
1830
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
1831
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
1832
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
1833
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
1834
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
1835
1836
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
1837
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
1838
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
1839
arrangement.
1840
1841
1842
IMPROVEMENTS:
1843
1844
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
1845
convention. Paths now take the form::
1846
1847
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
1848
or
1849
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
1850
1851
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
1852
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
1853
1854
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
1855
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
1856
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
1857
1858
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
1859
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
1860
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
1861
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
1862
1863
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
1864
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
1865
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
1866
1867
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
1868
1869
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
1870
1871
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
1872
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
1873
commits::
1874
1875
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
1876
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
1877
| xargs bzr re-sign
1878
1879
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
1880
1881
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
1882
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
1883
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
1884
(Robert Collins)
1885
1886
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
1887
1888
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
1889
1890
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
1891
'.moved'.
1892
1893
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
1894
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
1895
1896
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
1897
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
1898
Daniel Silverstone)
1899
1900
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
1901
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
1902
Martin Pool)
1903
1904
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
1905
1906
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
1907
1908
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
1909
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
1910
1911
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
1912
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
1913
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
1914
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
1915
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
1916
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
1917
1918
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
1919
1920
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
1921
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
1922
(Robert Collins)
1923
1924
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
1925
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
1926
1927
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
1928
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
1929
1930
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
1931
1932
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
1933
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
1934
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
1935
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
1936
specification by Martin Pool.
1937
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
1938
1939
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
1940
Belchenko)
1941
1942
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
1943
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1944
1945
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
1946
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
1947
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
1948
1949
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
1950
1951
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
1952
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
1953
(Robert Collins)
1954
1955
CHANGES:
1956
1957
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
1958
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1959
1960
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
1961
1962
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
1963
1964
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
1965
(Olaf Conradi)
1966
1967
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
1968
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
1969
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
1970
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
1971
1972
INTERNALS:
1973
1974
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
1975
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
1976
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
1977
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1978
1979
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
1980
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
1981
tried. (Martin Pool)
1982
1983
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
1984
(Martin Pool)
1985
1986
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
1987
1988
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
1989
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
1990
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
1991
1992
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
1993
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
1994
1995
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
1996
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
1997
paths. (Robert Collins)
1998
1999
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
2000
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
2001
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
2002
2003
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
2004
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
2005
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
2006
2007
* Progress bars are now nested - see
2008
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
2009
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2010
2011
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
2012
(Olaf Conradi)
2013
2014
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
2015
(Olaf Conradi)
2016
2017
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
2018
2019
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
2020
2021
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
2022
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
2023
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
2024
(Robert Collins)
2025
2026
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
2027
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
2028
2029
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
2030
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
2031
check. (Robert Collins)
2032
2033
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
2034
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
2035
2036
TESTING:
2037
2038
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
2039
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
2040
2041
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
2042
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
2043
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
2044
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
2045
2046
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
2047
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
2048
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
2049
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
2050
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
2051
2052
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
2053
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
2054
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
2055
2056
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
2057
2058
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
2059
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.

CHANGES:
2064
2065
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
2066
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
2067
2068
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
2069
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
2070
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
2071
(Johan Rydberg)
2072
2073
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
2074
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
2075
2076
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
2077
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
2078
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
2079
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
2080
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2081
2082
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
2083
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
2084
used. (Robert Collins)
2085
2086
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
2087
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
2088
(James Henstridge)
2089
2090
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
2091
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
2092
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
2093
2094
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
2095
ignore list.
2096
2097
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
2098
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
2099
2100
IMPROVEMENTS:
2101
2102
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
2103
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
2104
2105
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
2106
2107
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
2108
2109
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
2110
tree. (Robert Collins)
2111
2112
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
2113
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
2114
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
2115
(Robert Collins)
2116
2117
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
2118
that they be kept.
2119
2120
* Tweaks to short log printing
2121
2122
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
2123
(Aaron Bentley)
2124
2125
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
2126
occurs. (Martin Pool)
2127
2128
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
2129
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
2130
2131
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
2132
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
2133
2134
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
2135
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
2136
settings. (Magnus Therning)
2137
2138
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
2139
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2140
2141
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
2142
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
2143
requests.
2144
2145
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
2146
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
2147
2148
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
2149
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
2150
2151
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
2152
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
2153
2154
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
2155
(Denys Duchier)
2156
2157
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
2158
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
2159
2160
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
2161
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
2162
2163
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
2164
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
2165
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
2166
2167
BUG FIXES:
2168
2169
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
2170
2171
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2172
2173
* Error when run with -OO
2174
2175
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
2176
(Martin Pool)
2177
2178
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
2179
2180
* Change status to 3 for all errors
2181
2182
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
2183
ignored by diff and status
2184
2185
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
2186
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
2187
2188
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
2189
2190
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
2191
2192
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
2193
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
2194
2195
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
2196
email address. (Marien Zwart)
2197
2198
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
2199
(Harald Meland)
2200
2201
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
2202
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2203
2204
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
2205
2206
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
2207
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
2208
2209
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
2210
(Martin Pool)
2211
2212
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
2213
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
2214
2215
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
2216
2217
TESTING:
2218
2219
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
2220
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
2221
2222
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2223
2224
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2225
2226
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
2227
2228
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
2229
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
2230
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2231
2232
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2233
2234
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
2235
(John Arbash Meinel)
2236
2237
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
2238
2239
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
2240
If adding a new test script please add that to
2241
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
2242
2243
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
2244
imported. (Martin Pool)
2245
2246
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
2247
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
2248
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
2249
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
2250
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
2251
(Robert Collins)
2252
2253
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
2254
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
2255
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
2256
2257
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
2258
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
2259
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2260
2261
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
2262
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
2263
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
2264
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
2265
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
2266
(Robert Collins).
2267
2268
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
2269
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
2270
(Robert Collins).
2271
2272
INTERNALS:
2273
2274
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
2275
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
2276
2277
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
2278
function. (Robert Collins)
2279
2280
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
2281
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
2282
if needed). (Robert Collins)
2283
2284
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
2285
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
2286
(Robert Collins)
2287
2288
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
2289
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
2290
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
2291
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
2292
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
2293
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
2294
version. (Robert Collins)
2295
2296
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
2297
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
2298
2299
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
2300
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
2301
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
2302
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
2303
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
2304
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
2305
2306
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
2307
(Robert Collins)
2308
2309
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
2310
2311
add()
2312
commit()
2313
move()
2314
rename_one()
2315
unknowns()
2316
2317
(Robert Collins)
2318
2319
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
2320
2321
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
2322
2323
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
2324
Pool)
2325
2326
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
2327
query method. (Robert Collins)
2328
2329
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
2330
(Denys Duchier)
2331
2332
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
2333
(Michael Ellerman)
2334
2335
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
2336
(Michael Ellerman)
2337
2338
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
2339
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
2340
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
2341
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
2342
2343
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
2344
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
2345
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
2346
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
2347
2348
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
2349
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)

IMPROVEMENTS:
2354
2355
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
2356
(John A Meinel)
2357
2358
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
2359
conflicts.
2360
(Aaron Bentley)
2361
2362
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
2363
a separator, not ':'.
2364
(Aaron Bentley)
2365
2366
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
2367
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
2368
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
2369
2370
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
2371
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
2372
(Robert Collins)
2373
2374
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
2375
has been added that suppresses all output.
2376
2377
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
2378
Adams.
2379
2380
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
2381
Goffredo Baroncelli.
2382
2383
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
2384
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
2385
2386
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
2387
a revision. (Robert Collins)
2388
2389
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
2390
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
2391
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
2392
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
2393
2394
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
2395
2396
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
2397
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
2398
2399
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
2400
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
2401
2402
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
2403
output directory, if one was supplied.
2404
2405
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
2406
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
2407
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
2408
parameters. (Robert Collins)
2409
2410
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
2411
2412
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
2413
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
2414
2415
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
2416
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
2417
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
2418
2419
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
2420
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
2421
2422
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
2423
(Aaron Bentley)
2424
2425
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
2426
2427
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
2428
2429
TESTING:
2430
2431
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
2432
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
2433
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
2434
2435
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
2436
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
2437
related questions. (Robert Collins)
2438
2439
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
2440
is given. (Martin Pool)
2441
2442
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
2443
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
2444
file. (Robert Collins)
2445
2446
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
2447
(Martin Pool)
2448
2449
INTERNALS:
2450
2451
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
2452
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
2453
representation. (Martin Pool).
2454
2455
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
2456
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
2457
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
2458
2459
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2460
(Robert Collins)
2461
2462
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
2463
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
2464
Magnus Therning.
2465
2466
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2467
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
2468
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
2469
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
2470
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
2471
2472
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
2473
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
2474
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
2475
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
2476
python path. (Robert Collins)
2477
2478
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
2479
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
2480
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
2481
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
2482
2483
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
2484
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
2485
2486
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
2487
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
2488
(Robert Collins)
2489
2490
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
2491
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
2492
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
2493
2494
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
2495
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
2496
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
2497
2498
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
2499
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2500
2501
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
2502
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
2503
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
2504
(Robert Collins)
2505
2506
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
2507
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
2508
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
2509
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
2510
(Robert Collins)
2511
2512
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
2513
(Robert Collins)
2514
2515
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
2516
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
2517
(Robert Collins)
2518
2519
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
2520
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
2521
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
2522
2523
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
2524
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
2525
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
2526
2527
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
2528
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
2529
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
2530
2531
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
2532
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2533
2534
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
2535
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
2536
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
2537
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
2538
caller. (Robert Collins)
2539
2540
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
2541
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
2542
(Robert Collins).
2543
2544
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
2545
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
2546
(Aaron Bentley)
2547
2548
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
2549
2550
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
2551
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
2552
2553
BUG FIXES:
2554
2555
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
2556
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
2557
2558
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
2559
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
2560
2561
2562
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
2563
2564
BUG FIXES:
2565
2566
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
2567
allow directories to be listed.
2568
2569
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
2570
upgrading branch format.
2571
2572
PERFORMANCE:
2573
2574
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.

2576
2577
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
2578
2579
NOTES:
2580
2581
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
2582
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
2583
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
2584
high-latency connections.
2585
2586
BUG FIXES:
2587
2588
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
2589
Rob Weir.
2590
2591
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
2592
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
2593
2594
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
2595
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
2596
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
2597
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2598
2599
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
2600
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
2601
2602
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
2603
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
2604
2605
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
2606
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
2607
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2608
2609
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
2610
for files with only a change to their executable status.
2611
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
2612
Robert Collins
2613
2614
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
2615
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
2616
2617
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
2618
different partial views of history.
2619
2620
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
2621
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
2622
2623
IMPROVEMENTS:
2624
2625
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
2626
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
2627
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2628
2629
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
2630
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
2631
'bzr upgrade'.
2632
2633
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
2634
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
2635
2636
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
2637
Niemeyer.
2638
2639
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
2640
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
2641
2642
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
2643
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
2644
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
2645
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2646
2647
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
2648
2649
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
2650
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
2651
Gustavo Niemeyer.
2652
2653
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
2654
Contributed by Robert Collins.
2655
2656
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
2657
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
2658
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
2659
2660
2661
INTERNALS:
2662
2663
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
2664
for your viewing pleasure.
2665
2666
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
2667
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
2668
2669
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
2670
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
2671
handling of such circumstances.
2672
2673
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
2674
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
2675
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
2676
2677
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
2678
2679
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
2680
we call them revisions not patches.
2681
2682
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
2683
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
2684
2685
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
2686
giving the revision *of that file*.
2687
2688
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
2689
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
2690
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
2691
2692
TESTING:
2693
2694
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
2695
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
2696
2697
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
2698
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
2699

2701
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23

2703
BUG FIXES:
2704
2705
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
2706
2707
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
2708
(Robert Collins).
2709
2710
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
2711
2712
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
2713
2714
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
2715
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2716
2717
IMPROVEMENTS:
2718
2719
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
2720
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
2721
2722
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
2723
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
2724
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
2725
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
2726
Robey Pointer
2727
2728
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
2729
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2730
2731
INTERNALS:
2732
2733
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
2734
2735
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
2736
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
2737
2738
2739
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
2740
2741
IMPROVEMENTS:
2742
2743
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
2744
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
2745
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
2746
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
2747
Michael Ellerman.

* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
2750
(Nir Soffer)
2751
2752
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
2753
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
2754
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
2755
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
2756
for the operating system is still tried.
2757
2758
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
2759
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
2760
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
2761
2762
2763
INTERNALS:
2764
2765
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
2766
2767
BUG FIXES:
2768
2769
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
2770
2771
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
2772
branch.
2773
2774
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
2775
read.
2776
2777
2778
PORTABILITY:
2779
2780
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
2781
2782

bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
2786
2787
NEW FEATURES:
2788
2789
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
2790
help with intelligent shell completion.
2791
2792
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
2793
2794
2795
ENHANCEMENTS:
2796
2797
* Much better merge support.
2798
2799
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
2800
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
2801
like emacs smerge.
2802
2803
2804
BUG FIXES:
2805
2806
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
2807
mention revisions that are not present.
2808
2809
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
2810
2811
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
2812
2813
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
2814
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
2815
2816
2817
CHANGES:
2818
2819
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
2820
2821
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
2822
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
2823
--help themselves.
2824
2825
2826
LIBRARY:
2827
2828
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
2829
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
2830
libraries.
2831
2832
2833
2834
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
2835
2836
NEW FEATURES:
2837
2838
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
2839
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
2840
2841
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
2842
2843
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
2844
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
2845
2846
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
2847
FOO.
2848
2849
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
2850
2851
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
2852
the Unix command.
2853
2854
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
2855
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
2856
2857
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
2858
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
2859
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
2860
2861
2862
ENHANCEMENTS:
2863
2864
* Faster working tree operations.
2865
2866
2867
CHANGES:
2868
2869
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
2870
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
2871
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
2872
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
2873
2874
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
2875
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
2876
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
2877
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
2878
standard plugins directory.
2879
2880
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
2881
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
2882
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
2883
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
2884
2885
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
2886
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
2887
2888
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
2889
disk.
2890
2891
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
2892
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
2893
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
2894
2895
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
2896
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
2897
2898
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
2899
line options must come before the command name because they
2900
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
2901
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
2902
it.
2903
2904
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
2905
2906
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
2907
is available with ``--short``.
2908
2909
2910
BUG FIXES:
2911
2912
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
2913
2914
2915
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
2916
2917
CHANGES:
2918
2919
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
2920
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2921
2922
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
2923
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
2924
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
2925
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
2926
2927
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
2928
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
2929
with the ``--forward`` option.
2930
2931
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
2932
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
2933
field.
2934
2935
2936
ENHANCEMENTS:
2937
2938
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
2939
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
2940
2941
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
2942
2943
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
2944
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
2945
2946
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
2947
2948
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
2949
either read or write mode.
2950
2951
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
2952
2953
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
2954
affected that file.
2955
2956
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
2957
2958
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
2959
suggested by LarstiQ.
2960
2961
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
2962
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
2963
2964
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
2965
a filename.
2966
2967
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
2968
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
2969
2970
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
2971
haven't changed since the previous time.
2972
2973
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
2974
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
2975
2976
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
2977
2978
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
2979
2980
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
2981
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
2982
2983
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
2984
options through to an external GNU diff.
2985
2986
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
2987
their contents.
2988
2989
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
2990
from a branch.
2991
2992
2993
BUG FIXES:
2994
2995
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
2996
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
2997
2998
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
2999
metacharacters.
3000
3001
3002
TESTING:
3003
3004
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
3005
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
3006
the tests.
3007
3008
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
3009
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
3010
3011
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
3012
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
3013
3014
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
3015
under a different version.
3016
3017
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
3018
3019
3020
INTERNAL:
3021
3022
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
3023
3024
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
3025
Scott James Remnant.
3026
3027
* Better help messages for many commands.
3028
3029
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
3030
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
3031
3032
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
3033
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
3034
3035
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
3036
3037
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
3038
3039
* New AtomicFile class.
3040
3041
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
3042
3043
3044
PORTABILITY:
3045
3046
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
3047
2.4 is now only recommended.
3048
3049
3050
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
3051
3052
ENHANCEMENTS:
3053
3054
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
3055
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
3056
3057
* More default ignore patterns.
3058
3059
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
3060
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
3061
3062
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
3063
3064
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
3065
by Jason Diamon.
3066
3067
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
3068
3069
3070
CHANGES:
3071
3072
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
3073
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
3074
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
3075
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
3076
there are DNS problems.
3077
3078
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
3079
3080
3081
BUG FIXES:
3082
3083
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
3084
3085
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
3086
3087
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
3088
trailing newlines properly.
3089
3090
3091
INTERNAL:
3092
3093
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
3094
Matt Brubeck.
3095
3096
* More tests in test.sh.
3097
3098
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
3099
directory and delete it when done.
3100
3101
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
3102
3103
3104
PORTABILITY:
3105
3106
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
3107
Bennetts.
3108
3109
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
3110
from QuantumG.

3118
in the tree.
3119
3120
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
3121
3122
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
3123
and/or directory.
3124
3125
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
3126
directory.
3127
3128
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
3129
3130
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
3131
3132
CHANGES:
3133
3134
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
3135
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
3136
will do for now.)
3137
3138
PORTABILITY:
3139
3140
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
3141
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
3142
Nielsen.
3143
3144
INTERNAL:
3145
3146
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.

8
3167
rather than replacing it.
