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.
10
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
12
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
13
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
14
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley)
16
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
19
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
20
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
22
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
23
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
27
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
28
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
29
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
30
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
37
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
38
(Colin Watson, #120647)
40
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.

bzr 0.17rc1 2007-06-12
48
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
49
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
50
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
51
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
52
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
53
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
54
and unlock() like so::
58
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
63
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
64
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
66
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
67
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
68
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
70
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
71
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
76
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
77
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
80
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
83
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
84
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
86
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
87
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
88
understanding what changes have occurred
89
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
91
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
92
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
93
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
95
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
96
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
97
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
98
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
100
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
105
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
106
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
107
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
108
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
109
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
111
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
112
based on split paths, not just string paths.
113
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
115
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
116
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
118
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
120
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
122
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
123
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
125
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
126
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
128
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
129
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
131
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
132
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
134
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
135
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
137
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
138
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
139
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
145
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
146
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
147
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
148
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
149
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
151
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
152
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
153
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
155
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
156
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
160
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
161
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
162
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
164
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
165
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
166
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
167
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
169
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
173
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
174
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
175
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
176
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
178
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
179
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
180
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
182
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
183
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
185
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
186
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
188
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
189
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
191
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
193
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
195
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
196
it could be recovered again.
197
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
198
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
199
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
201
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
203
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
204
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
208
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
209
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
211
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
212
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
213
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
214
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
216
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
217
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
219
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
220
tests with names that match that regular expression.
221
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
223
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
224
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
225
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
227
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
228
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
229
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
231
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
232
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
235
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
238
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
239
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
240
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
241
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
243
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
246
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
247
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
248
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
251
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
252
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
254
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
255
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
257
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
258
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
259
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
260
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
263
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
264
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
266
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
267
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
269
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
270
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
271
(Robert Collins, #107125).
273
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
274
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
275
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
277
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
278
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
279
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
281
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
282
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
283
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
284
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
286
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
287
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
288
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
289
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
291
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
292
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
293
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
294
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
295
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
296
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
297
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
298
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
304
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
305
code paths. (Robert Collins)
307
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
308
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
309
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
310
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
311
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
313
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
314
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
316
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
317
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
319
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
320
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
322
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
323
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
325
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
326
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
327
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
330
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
331
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
332
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
333
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
334
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
337
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
338
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
339
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
341
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
342
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
345
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
346
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
347
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
350
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
351
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
352
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
353
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
354
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
356
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
357
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
358
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
359
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
361
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
362
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
364
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
365
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
366
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
367
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
368
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
369
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
371
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
372
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
374
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
375
help. (Robert Collins)
377
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
378
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
380
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
381
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
382
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
383
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
386
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
387
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
388
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
389
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
390
useful. (Robert Collins)
392
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
397
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
398
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
400
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
401
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
403
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
404
properly and is no longer beneficial.
405
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
407
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
410
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
411
the file, and does it faster.
412
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
414
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
415
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
416
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
418
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
419
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
420
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
421
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
423
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
424
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
425
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
426
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
428
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
429
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
431
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
432
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
433
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
434
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
437
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
439
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
440
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
442
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
443
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
445
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
446
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
447
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
448
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
452
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
453
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
457
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
458
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
459
in running it. (Robert Collins)
461
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
462
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
464
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
465
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
466
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
467
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
468
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
469
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
470
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
471
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
473
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
474
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
475
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
477
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
478
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
479
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
480
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
481
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
483
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
485
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
486
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
487
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
489
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
490
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
497
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
500
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
501
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
504
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
508
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
509
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
514
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
515
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
516
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
517
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
518
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
519
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
520
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
521
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
526
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
527
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
528
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
530
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
531
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
534
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
535
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
538
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
539
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
540
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
541
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
542
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
546
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
549
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
550
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
552
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
553
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
555
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
556
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
557
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
559
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
560
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
562
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
563
last-changed-revision for directories. The
564
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
565
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
566
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
568
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
569
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
570
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
572
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
575
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
577
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
579
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
580
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
581
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
585
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
586
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
588
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
589
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
591
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
593
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
594
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
596
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
597
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
601
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
606
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
607
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
608
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
609
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
611
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
612
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
614
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
615
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
617
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
620
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
621
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
624
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
628
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
629
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
630
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
631
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
632
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
633
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
635
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
636
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
637
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
638
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
639
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
640
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
642
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
644
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
645
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
646
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
647
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
648
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
649
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
650
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
651
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
655
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
656
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
658
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
659
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
660
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
661
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
663
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
664
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
665
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
666
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
667
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
669
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
672
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
675
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
678
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
679
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
682
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
685
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
686
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
688
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
689
directory. (Martin Pool)
691
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
692
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
693
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
694
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
696
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
697
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
698
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
699
in docs/configuration.txt.
701
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
702
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
705
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
706
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
707
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
708
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
709
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
710
repositories. (Martin Pool)
712
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
713
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
715
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
716
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
718
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
723
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
724
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
725
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
726
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
727
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
730
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
731
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
734
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
735
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
738
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
739
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
740
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
741
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
742
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
743
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
745
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
746
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
747
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
749
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
750
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
751
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
752
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
754
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
756
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
757
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
758
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
759
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
761
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
762
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
763
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
764
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
766
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
767
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
768
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
770
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
771
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
772
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
774
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
775
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
776
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
777
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
779
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
780
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
781
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
783
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
784
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
785
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
787
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
788
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
789
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
790
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
791
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
792
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
793
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
794
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
795
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
796
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
797
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
801
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
802
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
803
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
805
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
808
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
809
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
810
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
811
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
813
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
814
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
817
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
818
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
820
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
822
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
823
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
824
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
826
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
827
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
829
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
830
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
832
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
833
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
835
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
836
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
838
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
840
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
841
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
845
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
846
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
853
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
857
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
858
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
859
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
861
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
862
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
863
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
866
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
870
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
871
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
872
server, then you can write over the http connection.
873
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
875
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
878
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
879
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
880
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
882
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
883
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
885
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
888
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
889
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
890
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
891
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
892
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
893
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
895
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
896
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
897
should enable you to do::
900
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
901
push_location:policy = appendpath
903
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
904
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
907
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
908
for each file. For example::
916
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
917
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
919
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
921
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
922
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
924
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
928
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
929
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
930
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
931
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
933
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
934
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
935
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
937
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
939
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
940
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
941
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
942
(Alexander Belchenko)
944
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
947
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
948
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
950
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
954
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
955
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
957
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
958
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
959
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
960
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
961
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
963
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
964
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
966
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
967
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
969
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
971
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
973
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
974
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
975
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
976
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
977
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
979
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
980
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
981
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
982
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
984
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
985
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
987
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
988
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
990
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
991
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
993
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
994
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)
999
No changes from 0.13rc1
1001
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
1005
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
1007
(Daniel Silverstone)
1009
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
1010
operations are substantially faster.
1011
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
1013
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
1014
tree from some other url. For example:
1015
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
1016
(Daniel Silverstone)
1018
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
1019
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
1020
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
1021
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
1023
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
1026
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
1027
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
1028
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
1029
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
1030
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
1031
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
1035
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
1036
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
1039
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1040
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1041
(John Arbash Meinel)
1043
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
1044
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
1045
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
1046
(John Arbash Meinel)
1048
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
1049
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
1051
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
1052
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1054
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
1055
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
1060
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
1061
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
1062
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
1064
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
1065
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
1066
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
1067
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
1069
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
1071
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
1072
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
1074
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
1075
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
1076
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
1077
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
1079
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
1080
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
1081
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
1083
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
1084
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
1085
them as full references rather than integers.
1086
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
1088
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
1089
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
1091
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
1093
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
1094
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
1096
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
1097
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
1099
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
1100
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
1101
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
1102
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
1104
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
1105
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
1106
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
1108
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
1109
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
1111
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
1112
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
1113
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
1114
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
1115
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
1119
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
1120
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
1126
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1127
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1128
(John Arbash Meinel)
1130
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
1134
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
1135
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
1136
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
1137
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
1139
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
1140
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
1142
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
1144
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
1145
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
1146
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
1147
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1149
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
1150
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
1151
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
1152
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
1153
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
1155
API INCOMPATABILITY:
1157
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
1158
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
1162
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
1163
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
1164
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1166
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
1167
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
1168
(John Arbash Meinel)
1170
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
1171
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
1172
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
1174
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
1175
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
1178
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
1179
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
1180
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1182
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
1183
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
1184
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
1185
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
1186
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
1187
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1189
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
1190
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
1191
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
1194
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
1195
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
1199
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
1200
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
1201
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
1204
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
1205
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
1207
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
1208
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
1209
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
1211
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
1212
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
1214
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
1215
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
1216
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
1217
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
1219
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
1220
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
1222
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
1223
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
1224
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
1226
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
1227
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
1229
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1231
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
1232
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
1237
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
1238
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
1239
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
1240
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
1242
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
1243
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
1244
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1248
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
1250
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
1254
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
1256
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
1259
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
1263
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
1264
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
1265
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
1266
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
1267
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
1268
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
1269
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
1271
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
1272
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
1273
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
1275
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
1277
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
1278
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
1280
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
1281
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
1282
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
1285
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
1286
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
1287
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
1288
(John Arbash Meinel)
1290
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
1291
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
1292
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
1293
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
1296
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
1297
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
1298
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
1299
(John Arbash Meinel)
1303
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
1304
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
1306
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
1308
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
1309
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
1310
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
1312
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
1313
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
1315
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
1316
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
1318
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
1319
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
1321
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
1322
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
1324
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
1326
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
1327
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
1329
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
1330
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
1332
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
1333
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
1335
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
1336
(John Arbash Meinel)
1338
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
1339
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
1340
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
1342
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
1343
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1345
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
1346
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
1347
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
1348
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
1350
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
1351
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
1352
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
1354
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
1355
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
1359
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
1363
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
1364
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
1365
(John Arbash Meinel)
1367
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
1368
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
1369
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
1370
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1372
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
1375
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
1376
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
1377
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
1379
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
1380
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
1382
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
1383
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
1384
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
1386
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
1387
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
1388
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
1389
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
1390
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
1391
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
1392
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
1393
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
1394
caller to repeat their request.
1395
(John Arbash Meinel)
1397
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
1398
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
1400
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
1401
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
1403
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
1404
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
1405
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
1406
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
1407
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
1408
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
1409
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
1411
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
1412
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
1413
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
1414
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
1415
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
1416
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
1417
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
1418
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
1421
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
1422
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
1423
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
1425
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
1426
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
1428
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
1429
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
1431
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
1432
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1436
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
1437
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
1439
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
1440
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
1441
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1443
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
1444
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
1445
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1450
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
1451
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
1453
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
1454
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
1455
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
1456
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
1457
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
1459
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
1460
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
1461
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
1463
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
1464
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
1466
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
1467
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
1468
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1472
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
1474
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
1475
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
1476
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
1478
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
1480
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
1482
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
1483
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
1484
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
1485
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
1487
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
1488
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
1489
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
1490
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
1491
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
1493
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
1494
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
1496
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
1497
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
1499
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
1500
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
1502
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
1503
in handling of revision properties.
1504
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
1506
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
1507
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
1511
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
1512
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
1513
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
1514
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
1515
(John Arbash Meinel)
1517
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
1518
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
1519
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
1521
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
1525
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
1526
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
1527
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
1528
specific one '.bzrignore'.
1529
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
1530
a more conservative list than the old default.
1531
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
1532
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
1533
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
1534
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
1536
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
1537
to more locations than just branch locations.
1542
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
1543
revno:N:branch. For example,
1544
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
1545
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
1547
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
1548
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
1549
the path of a file that has been versioned.
1550
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
1551
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
1552
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
1553
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
1554
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
1557
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
1558
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
1559
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
1562
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
1563
(Alexander Belchenko)
1565
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
1567
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
1570
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
1571
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
1572
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
1573
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
1574
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
1575
(John Arbash Meinel)
1577
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
1578
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
1579
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
1580
grained analysis of performance.
1581
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1583
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
1584
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
1586
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
1587
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
1588
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
1589
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
1590
file. (Robert Collins).
1592
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
1593
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
1594
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
1596
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
1597
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
1600
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
1601
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
1603
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
1604
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
1605
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
1606
the same way you would apply another branch.
1607
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1609
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
1610
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
1612
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
1615
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
1618
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
1619
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
1620
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
1622
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
1623
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
1624
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
1626
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
1627
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
1629
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
1630
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
1631
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
1632
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
1633
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
1635
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
1636
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
1638
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
1639
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
1640
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
1641
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
1642
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
1643
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
1644
branch is as much as 4x faster.
1645
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
1647
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
1648
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
1649
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
1653
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
1655
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
1657
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
1658
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1660
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
1661
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
1663
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
1664
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
1666
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
1668
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
1669
(John Arbash Meinel)
1671
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
1672
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
1674
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
1675
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
1678
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
1679
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
1681
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
1682
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
1684
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
1685
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
1686
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
1687
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
1689
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
1690
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
1692
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
1694
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
1695
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
1697
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
1699
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
1701
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
1702
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
1704
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
1705
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
1707
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
1708
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
1709
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
1711
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
1712
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
1713
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
1715
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
1716
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
1718
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
1719
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
1721
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
1722
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
1724
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
1725
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
1727
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
1728
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
1730
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
1731
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
1732
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
1734
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
1736
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
1737
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
1741
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
1742
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
1743
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
1745
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
1746
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
1748
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
1749
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
1750
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1752
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
1753
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1755
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
1756
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
1759
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
1760
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
1761
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1763
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
1764
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
1765
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1767
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
1768
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
1769
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
1771
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
1772
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
1773
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
1775
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
1776
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
1777
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
1779
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
1780
instead. (Robert Collins)
1782
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
1784
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
1788
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
1790
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
1794
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
1795
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
1797
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
1798
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1800
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
1801
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
1802
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
1806
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
1808
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
1809
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
1811
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
1815
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
1816
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
1817
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
1818
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
1822
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
1823
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
1824
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
1828
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
1829
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
1830
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1834
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
1835
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
1839
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1841
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
1842
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
1843
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
1844
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
1845
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
1846
will keep the same format.
1848
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
1849
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
1850
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
1851
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
1852
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
1854
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
1855
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
1856
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
1857
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
1858
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
1859
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
1860
indicating the current revision of the branch.
1862
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
1863
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
1864
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
1865
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
1866
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
1868
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
1869
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
1870
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
1876
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
1877
convention. Paths now take the form::
1879
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
1881
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
1883
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
1884
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
1886
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
1887
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
1888
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
1890
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
1891
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
1892
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
1893
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
1895
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
1896
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
1897
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
1899
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
1901
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
1903
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
1904
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
1907
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
1908
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
1911
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
1913
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
1914
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
1915
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
1918
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
1920
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
1922
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
1925
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
1926
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
1928
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
1929
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
1932
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
1933
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
1936
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
1938
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
1940
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
1941
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
1943
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
1944
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
1945
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
1946
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
1947
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
1948
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
1950
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
1952
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
1953
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
1956
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
1957
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
1959
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
1960
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
1962
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
1964
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
1965
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
1966
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
1967
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
1968
specification by Martin Pool.
1969
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
1971
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
1974
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
1975
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1977
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
1978
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
1979
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
1981
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
1983
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
1984
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
1989
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
1990
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1992
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
1994
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
1996
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
1999
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
2000
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
2001
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
2002
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
2006
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
2007
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
2008
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
2009
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2011
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
2012
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
2013
tried. (Martin Pool)
2015
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
2018
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
2020
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
2021
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
2022
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
2024
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
2025
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
2027
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
2028
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
2029
paths. (Robert Collins)
2031
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
2032
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
2033
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
2035
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
2036
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
2037
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
2039
* Progress bars are now nested - see
2040
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
2041
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2043
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
2046
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
2049
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
2051
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
2053
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
2054
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
2055
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
2058
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
2059
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
2061
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
2062
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
2063
check. (Robert Collins)
2065
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
2066
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
2070
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
2071
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
2073
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
2074
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
2075
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
2076
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
2078
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
2079
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
2080
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
2081
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
2082
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
2084
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
2085
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
2086
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
2088
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
2090
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
2091
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
2097
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
2098
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
2100
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
2101
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
2102
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
2105
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
2106
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
2108
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
2109
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
2110
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
2111
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
2112
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2114
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
2115
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
2116
used. (Robert Collins)
2118
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
2119
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
2122
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
2123
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
2124
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
2126
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
2129
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
2130
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
2134
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
2135
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
2137
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
2139
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
2141
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
2142
tree. (Robert Collins)
2144
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
2145
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
2146
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
2149
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
2152
* Tweaks to short log printing
2154
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
2157
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
2158
occurs. (Martin Pool)
2160
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
2161
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
2163
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
2164
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
2166
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
2167
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
2168
settings. (Magnus Therning)
2170
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
2171
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2173
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
2174
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
2177
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
2178
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
2180
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
2181
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
2183
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
2184
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
2186
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
2189
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
2190
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
2192
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
2193
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
2195
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
2196
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
2197
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
2201
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
2203
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2205
* Error when run with -OO
2207
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
2210
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
2212
* Change status to 3 for all errors
2214
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
2215
ignored by diff and status
2217
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
2218
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
2220
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
2222
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
2224
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
2225
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
2227
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
2228
email address. (Marien Zwart)
2230
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
2233
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
2234
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2236
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
2238
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
2239
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
2241
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
2244
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
2245
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
2247
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
2251
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
2252
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
2254
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2256
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2258
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
2260
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
2261
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
2262
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2264
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2266
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
2267
(John Arbash Meinel)
2269
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
2271
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
2272
If adding a new test script please add that to
2273
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
2275
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
2276
imported. (Martin Pool)
2278
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
2279
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
2280
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
2281
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
2282
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
2285
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
2286
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
2287
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
2289
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
2290
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
2291
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2293
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
2294
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
2295
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
2296
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
2297
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
2300
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
2301
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
2306
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
2307
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
2309
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
2310
function. (Robert Collins)
2312
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
2313
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
2314
if needed). (Robert Collins)
2316
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
2317
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
2320
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
2321
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
2322
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
2323
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
2324
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
2325
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
2326
version. (Robert Collins)
2328
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
2329
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
2331
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
2332
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
2333
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
2334
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
2335
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
2336
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
2338
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
2341
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
2351
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
2353
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
2355
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
2358
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
2359
query method. (Robert Collins)
2361
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
2364
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
2367
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
2370
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
2371
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
2372
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
2373
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
2375
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
2376
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
2377
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
2378
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
2380
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
2381
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
2387
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
2390
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
2394
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
2395
a separator, not ':'.
2398
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
2399
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
2400
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
2402
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
2403
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
2406
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
2407
has been added that suppresses all output.
2409
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
2412
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
2413
Goffredo Baroncelli.
2415
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
2416
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
2418
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
2419
a revision. (Robert Collins)
2421
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
2422
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
2423
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
2424
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
2426
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
2428
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
2429
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
2431
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
2432
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
2434
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
2435
output directory, if one was supplied.
2437
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
2438
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
2439
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
2440
parameters. (Robert Collins)
2442
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
2444
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
2445
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
2447
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
2448
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
2449
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
2451
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
2452
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
2454
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
2457
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
2459
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
2463
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
2464
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
2465
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
2467
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
2468
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
2469
related questions. (Robert Collins)
2471
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
2472
is given. (Martin Pool)
2474
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
2475
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
2476
file. (Robert Collins)
2478
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
2483
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
2484
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
2485
representation. (Martin Pool).
2487
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
2488
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
2489
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
2491
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2494
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
2495
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
2498
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2499
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
2500
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
2501
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
2502
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
2504
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
2505
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
2506
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
2507
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
2508
python path. (Robert Collins)
2510
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
2511
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
2512
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
2513
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
2515
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
2516
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
2518
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
2519
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
2522
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
2523
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
2524
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
2526
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
2527
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
2528
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
2530
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
2531
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2533
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
2534
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
2535
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
2538
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
2539
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
2540
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
2541
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
2544
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
2547
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
2548
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
2551
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
2552
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
2553
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
2555
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
2556
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
2557
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
2559
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
2560
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
2561
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
2563
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
2564
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2566
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
2567
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
2568
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
2569
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
2570
caller. (Robert Collins)
2572
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
2573
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
2576
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
2577
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
2580
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
2582
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
2583
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
2587
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
2588
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
2590
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
2591
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
2594
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
2598
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
2599
allow directories to be listed.
2601
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
2602
upgrading branch format.
2606
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
2613
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
2614
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
2615
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
2616
high-latency connections.
2620
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
2623
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
2624
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
2626
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
2627
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
2628
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
2629
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2631
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
2632
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
2634
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
2635
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
2637
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
2638
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
2639
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2641
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
2642
for files with only a change to their executable status.
2643
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
2646
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
2647
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
2649
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
2650
different partial views of history.
2652
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
2653
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
2657
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
2658
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
2659
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2661
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
2662
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
2665
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
2666
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
2668
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
2671
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
2672
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
2674
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
2675
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
2676
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
2677
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2679
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
2681
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
2682
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
2685
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
2686
Contributed by Robert Collins.
2688
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
2689
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
2690
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
2695
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
2696
for your viewing pleasure.
2698
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
2699
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
2701
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
2702
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
2703
handling of such circumstances.
2705
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
2706
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
2707
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
2709
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
2711
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
2712
we call them revisions not patches.
2714
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
2715
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
2717
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
2718
giving the revision *of that file*.
2720
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
2721
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
2722
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
2726
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
2727
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
2729
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
2730
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
2733
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
2737
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
2739
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
2742
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
2744
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
2746
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
2747
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2751
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
2752
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
2754
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
2755
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
2756
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
2757
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
2760
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
2761
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2765
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
2767
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
2768
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
2771
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
2775
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
2776
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
2777
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
2778
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
2781
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
2784
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
2785
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
2786
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
2787
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
2788
for the operating system is still tried.
2790
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
2791
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
2792
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
5
2797
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
2801
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
2803
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
2806
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
2812
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
2814
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
