7
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
8
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
9
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
10
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
11
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
12
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
13
and unlock() like so::
17
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
22
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
23
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
25
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
26
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
27
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
29
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
30
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
35
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
36
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
39
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
42
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
43
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
45
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
46
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
47
understanding what changes have occurred
48
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
50
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
51
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
52
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
54
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
55
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
56
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
57
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
59
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
64
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
65
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
66
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
67
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
68
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
70
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
71
based on split paths, not just string paths.
72
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
74
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
75
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
77
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
79
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
81
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
82
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
84
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
85
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
87
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
88
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
90
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
91
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
93
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
94
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
96
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
97
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
98
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
104
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
105
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
106
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
107
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
108
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
110
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
111
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
112
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
114
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
115
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
119
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
120
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
121
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
123
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
124
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
125
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
126
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
128
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
132
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
133
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
134
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
135
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
137
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
138
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
139
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
141
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
142
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
144
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
145
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
147
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
148
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
150
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
152
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
154
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
155
it could be recovered again.
156
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
157
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
158
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
160
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
162
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
163
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
167
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
168
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
170
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
171
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
172
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
173
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
175
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
176
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
178
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
179
tests with names that match that regular expression.
180
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
182
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
183
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
184
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
186
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
187
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
188
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
190
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
191
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
194
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
197
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
198
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
199
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
200
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
202
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
205
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
206
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
207
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
210
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
211
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
213
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
214
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
216
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
217
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
218
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
219
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
222
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
223
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
225
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
226
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
228
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
229
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
230
(Robert Collins, #107125).
232
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
233
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
234
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
236
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
237
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
238
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
240
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
241
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
242
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
243
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
245
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
246
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
247
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
248
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
250
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
251
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
252
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
253
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
254
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
255
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
256
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
257
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
263
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
264
code paths. (Robert Collins)
266
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
267
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
268
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
269
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
270
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
272
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
273
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
275
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
276
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
278
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
279
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
281
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
282
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
284
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
285
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
286
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
289
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
290
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
291
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
292
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
293
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
296
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
297
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
298
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
300
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
301
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
304
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
305
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
306
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
309
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
310
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
311
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
312
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
313
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
315
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
316
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
317
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
318
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
320
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
321
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
323
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
324
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
325
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
326
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
327
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
328
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
330
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
331
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
333
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
334
help. (Robert Collins)
336
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
337
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
339
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
340
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
341
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
342
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
345
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
346
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
347
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
348
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
349
useful. (Robert Collins)
351
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
356
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
357
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
359
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
360
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
362
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
363
properly and is no longer beneficial.
364
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
366
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
369
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
370
the file, and does it faster.
371
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
373
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
374
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
375
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
377
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
378
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
379
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
380
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
382
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
383
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
384
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
385
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
387
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
388
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
390
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
391
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
392
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
393
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
396
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
398
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
399
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
401
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
402
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
404
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
405
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
406
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
407
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
411
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
412
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
416
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
417
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
418
in running it. (Robert Collins)
420
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
421
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
423
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
424
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
425
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
426
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
427
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
428
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
429
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
430
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
432
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
433
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
434
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
436
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
437
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
438
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
439
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
440
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
442
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
444
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
445
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
446
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
448
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
449
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
456
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
459
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
460
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
463
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
467
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
468
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
473
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
474
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
475
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
476
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
477
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
478
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
479
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
480
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
485
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
486
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
487
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
489
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
490
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
493
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
494
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
497
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
498
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
499
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
500
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
501
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
505
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
508
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
509
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
511
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
512
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
514
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
515
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
516
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
518
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
519
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
521
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
522
last-changed-revision for directories. The
523
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
524
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
525
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
527
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
528
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
529
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
531
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
534
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
536
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
538
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
539
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
540
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
544
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
545
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
547
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
548
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
550
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
552
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
553
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
555
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
556
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
560
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
565
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
566
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
567
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
568
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
570
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
571
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
573
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
574
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
576
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
579
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
580
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
583
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
587
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
588
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
589
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
590
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
591
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
592
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
594
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
595
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
596
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
597
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
598
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
599
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
601
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
603
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
604
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
605
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
606
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
607
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
608
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
609
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
610
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
614
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
615
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
617
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
618
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
619
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
620
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
622
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
623
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
624
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
625
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
626
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
628
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
631
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
634
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
637
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
638
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
641
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
644
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
645
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
647
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
648
directory. (Martin Pool)
650
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
651
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
652
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
653
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
655
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
656
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
657
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
658
in docs/configuration.txt.
660
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
661
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
664
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
665
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
666
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
667
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
668
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
669
repositories. (Martin Pool)
671
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
672
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
674
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
675
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
677
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
682
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
683
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
684
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
685
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
686
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
689
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
690
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
693
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
694
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
697
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
698
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
699
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
700
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
701
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
702
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
704
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
705
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
706
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
708
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
709
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
710
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
711
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
713
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
715
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
716
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
717
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
718
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
720
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
721
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
722
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
723
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
725
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
726
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
727
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
729
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
730
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
731
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
733
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
734
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
735
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
736
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
738
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
739
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
740
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
742
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
743
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
744
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
746
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
747
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
748
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
749
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
750
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
751
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
752
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
753
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
754
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
755
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
756
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
760
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
761
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
762
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
764
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
767
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
768
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
769
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
770
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
772
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
773
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
776
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
777
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
779
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
781
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
782
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
783
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
785
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
786
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
788
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
789
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
791
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
792
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
794
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
795
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
797
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
799
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
800
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
804
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
805
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
812
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
816
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
817
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
818
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
820
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
821
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
822
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
825
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
829
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
830
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
831
server, then you can write over the http connection.
832
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
834
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
837
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
838
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
839
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
841
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
842
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
844
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
847
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
848
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
849
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
850
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
851
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
852
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
854
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
855
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
856
should enable you to do::
859
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
860
push_location:policy = appendpath
862
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
863
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
866
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
867
for each file. For example::
875
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
876
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
878
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
880
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
881
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
883
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
887
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
888
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
889
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
890
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
892
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
893
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
894
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
896
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
898
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
899
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
900
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
901
(Alexander Belchenko)
903
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
906
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
907
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
909
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
913
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
914
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
916
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
917
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
918
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
919
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
920
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
922
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
923
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
925
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
926
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
928
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
930
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
932
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
933
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
934
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
935
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
936
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
938
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
939
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
940
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
941
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
943
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
944
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
946
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
947
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
949
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
950
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
952
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
953
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)
958
No changes from 0.13rc1
960
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
964
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
968
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
969
operations are substantially faster.
970
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
972
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
973
tree from some other url. For example:
974
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
977
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
978
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
979
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
980
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
982
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
985
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
986
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
987
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
988
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
989
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
990
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
994
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
995
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
998
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
999
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1000
(John Arbash Meinel)
1002
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
1003
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
1004
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
1005
(John Arbash Meinel)
1007
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
1008
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
1010
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
1011
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1013
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
1014
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
1019
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
1020
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
1021
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
1023
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
1024
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
1025
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
1026
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
1028
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
1030
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
1031
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
1033
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
1034
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
1035
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
1036
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
1038
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
1039
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
1040
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
1042
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
1043
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
1044
them as full references rather than integers.
1045
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
1047
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
1048
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
1050
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
1052
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
1053
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
1055
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
1056
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
1058
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
1059
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
1060
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
1061
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
1063
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
1064
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
1065
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
1067
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
1068
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
1070
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
1071
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
1072
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
1073
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
1074
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
1078
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
1079
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
1085
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1086
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1087
(John Arbash Meinel)
1089
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
1093
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
1094
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
1095
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
1096
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
1098
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
1099
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
1101
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
1103
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
1104
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
1105
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
1106
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1108
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
1109
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
1110
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
1111
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
1112
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
1114
API INCOMPATABILITY:
1116
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
1117
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
1121
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
1122
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
1123
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1125
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
1126
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
1127
(John Arbash Meinel)
1129
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
1130
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
1131
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
1133
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
1134
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
1137
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
1138
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
1139
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1141
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
1142
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
1143
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
1144
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
1145
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
1146
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1148
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
1149
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
1150
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
1153
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
1154
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
1158
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
1159
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
1160
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
1163
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
1164
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
1166
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
1167
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
1168
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
1170
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
1171
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
1173
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
1174
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
1175
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
1176
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
1178
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
1179
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
1181
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
1182
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
1183
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
1185
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
1186
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
1188
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1190
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
1191
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
1196
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
1197
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
1198
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
1199
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
1201
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
1202
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
1203
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1207
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
1209
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
1213
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
1215
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
1218
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
1222
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
1223
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
1224
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
1225
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
1226
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
1227
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
1228
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
1230
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
1231
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
1232
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
1234
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
1236
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
1237
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
1239
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
1240
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
1241
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
1244
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
1245
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
1246
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
1247
(John Arbash Meinel)
1249
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
1250
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
1251
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
1252
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
1255
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
1256
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
1257
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
1258
(John Arbash Meinel)
1262
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
1263
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
1265
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
1267
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
1268
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
1269
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
1271
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
1272
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
1274
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
1275
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
1277
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
1278
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
1280
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
1281
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
1283
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
1285
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
1286
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
1288
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
1289
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
1291
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
1292
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
1294
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
1295
(John Arbash Meinel)
1297
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
1298
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
1299
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
1301
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
1302
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1304
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
1305
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
1306
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
1307
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
1309
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
1310
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
1311
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
1313
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
1314
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
1318
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
1322
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
1323
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
1324
(John Arbash Meinel)
1326
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
1327
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
1328
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
1329
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1331
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
1334
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
1335
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
1336
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
1338
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
1339
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
1341
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
1342
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
1343
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
1345
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
1346
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
1347
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
1348
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
1349
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
1350
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
1351
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
1352
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
1353
caller to repeat their request.
1354
(John Arbash Meinel)
1356
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
1357
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
1359
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
1360
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
1362
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
1363
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
1364
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
1365
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
1366
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
1367
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
1368
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
1370
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
1371
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
1372
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
1373
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
1374
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
1375
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
1376
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
1377
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
1380
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
1381
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
1382
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
1384
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
1385
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
1387
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
1388
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
1390
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
1391
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1395
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
1396
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
1398
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
1399
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
1400
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1402
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
1403
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
1404
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1409
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
1410
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
1412
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
1413
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
1414
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
1415
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
1416
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
1418
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
1419
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
1420
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
1422
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
1423
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
1425
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
1426
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
1427
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1431
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
1433
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
1434
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
1435
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
1437
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
1439
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
1441
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
1442
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
1443
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
1444
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
1446
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
1447
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
1448
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
1449
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
1450
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
1452
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
1453
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
1455
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
1456
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
1458
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
1459
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
1461
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
1462
in handling of revision properties.
1463
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
1465
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
1466
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
1470
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
1471
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
1472
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
1473
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
1474
(John Arbash Meinel)
1476
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
1477
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
1478
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
1480
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
1484
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
1485
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
1486
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
1487
specific one '.bzrignore'.
1488
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
1489
a more conservative list than the old default.
1490
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
1491
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
1492
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
1493
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
1495
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
1496
to more locations than just branch locations.
1501
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
1502
revno:N:branch. For example,
1503
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
1504
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
1506
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
1507
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
1508
the path of a file that has been versioned.
1509
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
1510
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
1511
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
1512
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
1513
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
1516
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
1517
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
1518
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
1521
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
1522
(Alexander Belchenko)
1524
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
1526
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
1529
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
1530
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
1531
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
1532
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
1533
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
1534
(John Arbash Meinel)
1536
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
1537
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
1538
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
1539
grained analysis of performance.
1540
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1542
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
1543
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
1545
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
1546
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
1547
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
1548
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
1549
file. (Robert Collins).
1551
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
1552
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
1553
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
1555
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
1556
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
1559
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
1560
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
1562
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
1563
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
1564
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
1565
the same way you would apply another branch.
1566
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1568
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
1569
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
1571
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
1574
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
1577
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
1578
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
1579
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
1581
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
1582
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
1583
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
1585
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
1586
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
1588
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
1589
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
1590
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
1591
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
1592
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
1594
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
1595
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
1597
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
1598
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
1599
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
1600
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
1601
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
1602
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
1603
branch is as much as 4x faster.
1604
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
1606
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
1607
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
1608
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
1612
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
1614
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
1616
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
1617
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1619
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
1620
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
1622
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
1623
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
1625
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
1627
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
1628
(John Arbash Meinel)
1630
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
1631
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
1633
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
1634
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
1637
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
1638
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
1640
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
1641
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
1643
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
1644
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
1645
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
1646
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
1648
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
1649
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
1651
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
1653
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
1654
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
1656
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
1658
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
1660
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
1661
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
1663
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
1664
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
1666
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
1667
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
1668
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
1670
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
1671
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
1672
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
1674
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
1675
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
1677
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
1678
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
1680
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
1681
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
1683
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
1684
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
1686
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
1687
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
1689
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
1690
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
1691
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
1693
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
1695
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
1696
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
1700
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
1701
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
1702
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
1704
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
1705
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
1707
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
1708
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
1709
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1711
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
1712
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1714
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
1715
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
1718
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
1719
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
1720
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1722
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
1723
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
1724
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1726
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
1727
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
1728
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
1730
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
1731
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
1732
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
1734
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
1735
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
1736
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
1738
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
1739
instead. (Robert Collins)
1741
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
1743
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
1747
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
1749
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
1753
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
1754
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
1756
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
1757
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1759
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
1760
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
1761
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
1765
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
1767
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
1768
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
1770
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
1774
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
1775
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
1776
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
1777
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
1781
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
1782
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
1783
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
1787
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
1788
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
1789
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1793
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
1794
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
1798
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1800
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
1801
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
1802
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
1803
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
1804
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
1805
will keep the same format.
1807
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
1808
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
1809
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
1810
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
1811
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
1813
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
1814
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
1815
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
1816
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
1817
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
1818
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
1819
indicating the current revision of the branch.
1821
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
1822
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
1823
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
1824
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
1825
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
1827
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
1828
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
1829
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
1835
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
1836
convention. Paths now take the form::
1838
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
1840
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
1842
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
1843
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
1845
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
1846
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
1847
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
1849
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
1850
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
1851
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
1852
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
1854
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
1855
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
1856
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
1858
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
1860
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
1862
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
1863
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
1866
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
1867
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
1870
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
1872
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
1873
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
1874
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
1877
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
1879
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
1881
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
1884
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
1885
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
1887
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
1888
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
1891
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
1892
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
1895
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
1897
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
1899
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
1900
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
1902
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
1903
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
1904
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
1905
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
1906
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
1907
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
1909
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
1911
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
1912
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
1915
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
1916
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
1918
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
1919
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
1921
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
1923
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
1924
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
1925
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
1926
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
1927
specification by Martin Pool.
1928
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
1930
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
1933
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
1934
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1936
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
1937
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
1938
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
1940
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
1942
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
1943
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
1948
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
1949
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1951
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
1953
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
1955
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
1958
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
1959
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
1960
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
1961
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
1965
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
1966
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
1967
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
1968
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1970
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
1971
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
1972
tried. (Martin Pool)
1974
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
1977
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
1979
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
1980
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
1981
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
1983
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
1984
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
1986
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
1987
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
1988
paths. (Robert Collins)
1990
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
1991
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
1992
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
1994
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
1995
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
1996
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
1998
* Progress bars are now nested - see
1999
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
2000
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2002
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
2005
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
2008
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
2010
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
2012
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
2013
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
2014
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
2017
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
2018
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
2020
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
2021
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
2022
check. (Robert Collins)
2024
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
2025
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
2029
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
2030
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
2032
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
2033
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
2034
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
2035
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
2037
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
2038
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
2039
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
2040
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
2041
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
2043
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
2044
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
2045
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
2047
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
2049
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
2050
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
