BUGFIXES:
27
28
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
29
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
30
31
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
32
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
33
(James Westby, #122656)
34
35
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
36
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
37
38
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
39
authentication header.
40
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
41
42
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
43
44
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
45
Windows. (Martin_, #119330)
46
47
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
48
49
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
50
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
51
52
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
53
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
54
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
55
56
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
57
individually and as part of revision ranges.
58
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
59
60
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
61
(Martin Pool, #109169)
62
63
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
64
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
65
66
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
67
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
68
69
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
70
71
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
72
73
IMPROVEMENTS:
74
75
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
76
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
77
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
78
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
79
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
80
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
81
82
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
83
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
84
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
85
86
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
87
(Elliot Murphy)
88
89
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
90
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
91
92
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
93
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
94
95
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
96
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
97
98
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
99
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
100
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
101
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
102
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
103
104
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
105
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
106
107
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
108
can be slow it is useful feedback).
109
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
110
111
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
112
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
113
114
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
115
116
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
117
output. (Aaron Bentley)
118
119
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
120
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
121
(Robert Collins)
122
123
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
124
(Martin Pool)
125
126
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
127
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
128
129
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
130
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
131
132
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
133
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
134
135
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
136
137
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
138
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
139
140
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
141
(Andrew Bennetts)
142
143
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
144
145
* Testing cleanups -
146
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
147
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
148
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
149
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
150
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
151
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
152
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
153
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
154
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
155
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
156
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
157
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
158
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
159
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
160
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
161
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
162
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
163
(Robert Collins)
164
165
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
166
167
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
168
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
169
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
170
171
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
172
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
173
174
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
175
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
176
177
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
178
179
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
180
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
181
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
182
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
183
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
184
same location. (Robert Collins)
185
186
INTERNALS:
187
188
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
189
190
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
191
192
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
193
194
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
195
(Martin Pool)
196
197
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
198
(Martin Pool)
199
200
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
201
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
202
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
203
204
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
205
206
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
207
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
208
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
209
210
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
211
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
212
213
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
214
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
215
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
216
217
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
218
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
219
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
220
221
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
222
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
223
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
224
225
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
226
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
227
Martin Pool)
228
229
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
230
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
231
232
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
233
(Alexander Belchenko)
234
235
TESTING:
236
237
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
238
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
239
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
240
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
241
242
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
243
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
244
testing. (Robert Collins)
245
246
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
247
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
248
249
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
250
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
251
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
252
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
253
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
254
attribute during the test parameterisation in
255
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
256
257
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
258
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
259
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
260
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
261
262
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
263
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
264
265
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
266
avoid useless cloning.
267
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
268
269
270
bzr 0.17 2007-06-18
271
272
BUGFIXES:
273
274
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
275
(Colin Watson, #120647)
276
277
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.
278
(Aaron Bentley, Ian Clatworthy, #120930)
279
280
281
bzr 0.17rc1 2007-06-12
282
283
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
284
285
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
286
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
287
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
288
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
289
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
290
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
291
and unlock() like so::
292
293
work_tree.lock_read()
294
try:
295
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
296
finally:
297
work_tree.unlock()
298
299
INTERNALS:
300
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
301
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
302
object.
303
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
304
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
305
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
306
307
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
308
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
309
too. (Robert Collins)
310
311
IMPROVEMENTS:
312
313
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
314
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
315
Aaron Bentley)
316
317
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
318
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
319
320
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
321
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
322
323
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
324
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
325
understanding what changes have occurred
326
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
327
328
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
329
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
330
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
331
332
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
333
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
334
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
335
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
336
337
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
338
#56322)
339
340
BUGFIXES:
341
342
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
343
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
344
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
345
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
346
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
347
348
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
349
based on split paths, not just string paths.
350
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
351
352
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
353
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
354
355
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
356
into account.
357
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
358
359
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
360
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
361
362
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
363
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
364
365
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
366
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
367
368
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
369
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
370
371
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
372
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
373
374
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
375
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
376
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
377
378
bzr 0.16 2007-05-07
379
380
BUGFIXES:
381
382
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
383
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
384
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
385
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
386
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
387
388
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
389
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
390
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
391
392
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
393
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
394
395
IMPROVEMENTS:
396
397
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
398
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
399
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
400
401
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
402
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
403
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
404
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
405
406
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
407
408
BUGFIXES:
409
410
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
411
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
412
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
413
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
414
415
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
416
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
417
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
418
419
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
420
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
421
422
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
423
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
424
425
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
426
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
427
428
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
429
430
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
431
432
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
433
it could be recovered again.
434
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
435
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
436
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
437
but not delete it.
438
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
439
files.
440
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
441
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
442
443
IMPROVEMENTS:
444
445
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
446
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
447
448
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
449
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
450
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
451
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
452
453
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
454
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
455
456
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
457
tests with names that match that regular expression.
458
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
459
460
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
461
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
462
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
463
464
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
465
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
466
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
467
468
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
469
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
470
Robert Collins)
471
472
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
473
Pool)
474
475
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
476
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
477
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
478
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
479
480
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
481
(Robert Collins)
482
483
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
484
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
485
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
486
(Robert Collins)
487
488
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
489
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
490
491
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
492
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
493
494
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
495
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
496
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
497
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
498
(Robert Collins)
499
500
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
501
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
502
503
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
504
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
505
506
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
507
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
508
(Robert Collins, #107125).
509
510
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
511
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
512
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
513
514
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
515
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
516
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
517
518
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
519
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
520
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
521
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
522
523
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
524
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
525
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
526
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
527
528
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
529
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
530
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
531
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
532
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
533
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
534
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
535
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
536
header(s).
537
(Vincent Ladeuil).
538
539
INTERNALS:
540
541
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
542
code paths. (Robert Collins)
543
544
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
545
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
546
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
547
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
548
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
549
550
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
551
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
552
553
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
554
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
555
556
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
557
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
558
559
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
560
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
561
562
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
563
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
564
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
565
(Robert Collins).
566
567
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
568
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
569
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
570
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
571
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
572
(Robert Collins)
573
574
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
575
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
576
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
577
578
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
579
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
580
(Vincent Ladeuil).
581
582
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
583
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
584
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
585
(Vincent Ladeuil).
586
587
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
588
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
589
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
590
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
591
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
592
593
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
594
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
595
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
596
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
597
598
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
599
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
600
601
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
602
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
603
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
604
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
605
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
606
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
607
608
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
609
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
610
611
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
612
help. (Robert Collins)
613
614
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
615
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
616
617
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
618
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
619
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
620
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
621
(John Arbash Meinel)
622
623
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
624
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
625
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
626
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
627
useful. (Robert Collins)
628
629
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
630
(Andrew Bennetts)
631
632
BUGFIXES:
633
634
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
635
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
636
637
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
638
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
639
640
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
641
properly and is no longer beneficial.
642
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
643
644
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
645
(Aaron Bentley)
646
647
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
648
the file, and does it faster.
649
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
650
651
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
652
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
653
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
654
655
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
656
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
657
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
658
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
659
660
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
661
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
662
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
663
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
664
665
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
666
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
667
668
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
669
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
670
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
671
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
672
Arbash Meinel)
673
674
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
675
676
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
677
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
678
679
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
680
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
681
682
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
683
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
684
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
685
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
686
security hole.
687
(Vincent Ladeuil)
688
689
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
690
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
691
692
TESTING:
693
694
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
695
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
696
in running it. (Robert Collins)
697
698
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
699
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
700
701
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
702
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
703
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
704
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
705
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
706
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
707
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
708
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
709
710
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
711
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
712
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
713
714
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
715
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
716
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
717
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
718
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
719
access.
720
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
721
722
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
723
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
724
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
725
726
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
727
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

BUGFIXES:
733
734
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
735
(Aaron Bentley)
736
737
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
738
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.

742
743
CHANGES:
744
745
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
746
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
747
(Martin Pool)
748
749
IMPROVEMENTS:
750
751
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
752
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
753
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
754
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
755
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
756
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
757
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
758
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
759
path. (vila)
760
761
INTERNALS:
762
763
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
764
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
765
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
766
767
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
768
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
769
(Martin Pool)
770
771
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
772
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
773
(John Arbash Meinel)
774
775
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
776
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
777
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
778
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
779
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
780
781
BUGFIXES:
782
783
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
784
(vila, #92195)
785
786
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
787
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
788
789
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
790
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
791
792
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
793
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
794
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
795
796
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
797
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
798
799
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
800
last-changed-revision for directories. The
801
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
802
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
803
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
804
805
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
806
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
807
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
808
809
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
813
814
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
815
816
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
817
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
818
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
819
820
IMPROVEMENTS:
821
822
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
823
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
824
825
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
826
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
827
828
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
829
830
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
831
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
832
833
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
834
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
835
836
INTERNALS:
837
838
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
839
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
840
841
BUGFIXES:
842
843
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
844
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
845
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
846
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
847
848
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
849
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
850
851
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
852
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
853
854
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
855
(Marien Zwart)
856
857
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
858

859
860
861
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
862
863
SURPRISES:
864
865
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
866
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
867
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
868
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
869
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
870
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
871
872
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
873
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
874
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
875
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
876
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
877
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
878
development.
879
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
880
881
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
882
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
883
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
884
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
885
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
886
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
887
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
888
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
889
890
IMPROVEMENTS:
891
892
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
893
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
894
895
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
896
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
897
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
898
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
899
does exist.
900
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
901
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
902
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
903
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
904
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
905
906
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
907
(Aaron Bentley)
908
909
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
910
(Aaron Bentley)
911
912
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
913
(Robert Collins)
914
915
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
916
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
917
(Aaron Bentley)
918
919
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
920
(Aaron Bentley)
921
922
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
923
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
924
925
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
926
directory. (Martin Pool)
927
928
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
929
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
930
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
931
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
932
933
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
934
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
935
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
936
in docs/configuration.txt.
937
938
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
939
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
940
bind location.
941
942
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
943
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
944
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
945
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
946
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
947
repositories. (Martin Pool)
948
949
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
950
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
951
952
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
953
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
954
955
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
956
(Aaron Bentley)
957
958
INTERNALS:
959
960
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
961
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
962
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
963
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
964
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
965
(John Arbash Meinel)
966
967
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
968
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
969
(Aaron Bentley)
970
971
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
972
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
973
(John Arbash Meinel)
974
975
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
976
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
977
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
978
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
979
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
980
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
981
982
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
983
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
984
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
985
986
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
987
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
988
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
989
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
990
repository.
991
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
992
993
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
994
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
995
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
996
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
997
998
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
999
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
1000
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
1001
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
1002
1003
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
1004
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
1005
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
1006
1007
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
1008
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
1009
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
1010
1011
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
1012
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
1013
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
1014
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
1015
1016
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
1017
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
1018
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
1019
1020
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
1021
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
1022
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
1023
1024
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
1025
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
1026
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
1027
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
1028
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
1029
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
1030
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
1031
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
1032
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
1033

1034
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
1035
1036
BUGFIXES:
1037
1038
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
1039
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
1040
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
1041
1042
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
1043
(Aaron Bentley)
1044
1045
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
1046
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
1047
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
1048
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
1049
1050
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
1051
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
1052
#83954).
1053
1054
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
1055
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
1056
1057
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
1058
1059
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
1060
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
1061
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
1062
1063
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
1064
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
1065
1066
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
1067
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
1068
1069
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
1070
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
1071
1072
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
1073
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
1074
1075
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
1076
1077
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
1078
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
1079
1080
TESTING:
1081
1082
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
1083
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

1086
bzr 0.14 2007-01-23

1088
IMPROVEMENTS:
1089
1090
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
1091
1092
BUG FIXES:
1093
1094
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
1095
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
1096
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
1097
1098
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
1099
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
1100
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
1101
1102
1103
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
1104
1105
IMPROVEMENTS:
1106
1107
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
1108
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
1109
server, then you can write over the http connection.
1110
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1111
1112
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
1113
(Marius Kruger)
1114
1115
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
1116
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
1117
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1118
1119
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
1120
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
1121
1122
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
1123
(Aaron Bentley)
1124
1125
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
1126
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
1127
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
1128
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
1129
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
1130
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
1131
1132
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
1133
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
1134
should enable you to do::
1135
1136
[/home/user/project]
1137
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
1138
push_location:policy = appendpath
1139
1140
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
1141
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
1142
(James Henstridge)
1143
1144
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
1145
for each file. For example::
1146
1147
$ bzr status --short
1148
A foo
1149
A bar
1150
D baz
1151
? wooley
1152
1153
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
1154
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
1155
1156
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
1157
1158
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
1159
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
1160
1161
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
1162
1163
INTERNALS:
1164
1165
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
1166
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
1167
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
1168
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
1169
1170
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
1171
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
1172
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
1173
1174
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1175
1176
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
1177
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
1178
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
1179
(Alexander Belchenko)
1180
1181
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
1182
Pool)
1183
1184
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
1185
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
1186
1187
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
1188
1189
BUG FIXES:
1190
1191
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
1192
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
1193
1194
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
1195
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
1196
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
1197
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
1198
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
1199
1200
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
1201
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
1202
1203
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
1204
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
1205
1206
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
1207
matcher.
1208
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
1209
1210
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
1211
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
1212
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
1213
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
1214
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
1215
1216
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
1217
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
1218
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
1219
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
1220
1221
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
1222
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
1223
1224
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
1225
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
1226
1227
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
1228
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)

IMPROVEMENTS:
1241
1242
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
1243
tree from a branch.
1244
(Daniel Silverstone)
1245
1246
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
1247
operations are substantially faster.
1248
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
1249
1250
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
1251
tree from some other url. For example:
1252
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
1253
(Daniel Silverstone)
1254
1255
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
1256
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
1257
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
1258
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
1259
1260
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
1261
(Andrew Bennetts)
1262
1263
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
1264
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
1265
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
1266
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
1267
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
1268
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
1269
1270
INTERNALS:
1271
1272
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
1273
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
1274
(Martin Pool)
1275
1276
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1277
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1278
(John Arbash Meinel)
1279
1280
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
1281
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
1282
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
1283
(John Arbash Meinel)
1284
1285
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
1286
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
1287
1288
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
1289
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1290
1291
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
1292
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
1293
Bennetts)
1294
1295
BUG FIXES:
1296
1297
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
1298
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
1299
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
1300
1301
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
1302
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
1303
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
1304
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
1305
1306
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
1307
1308
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
1309
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
1310
1311
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
1312
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
1313
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
1314
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
1315
1316
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
1317
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
1318
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
1319
1320
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
1321
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
1322
them as full references rather than integers.
1323
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
1324
1325
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
1326
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
1327
1328
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
1329
1330
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
1331
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
1332
1333
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
1334
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
1335
1336
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
1337
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
1338
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
1339
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
1340
1341
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
1342
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
1343
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
1344
1345
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
1346
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
1347
1348
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
1349
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
1350
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
1351
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
1352
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
1353
1354
TESTING:
1355
1356
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
1357
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

1368
1369
IMPROVEMENTS:
1370
1371
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
1372
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
1373
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
1374
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
1375
1376
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
1377
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
1378
1379
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)

* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
1382
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
1383
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
1384
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1385
1386
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
1387
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
1388
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
1389
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
1390
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
1391
1392
API INCOMPATABILITY:
1393
1394
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
1395
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
1396
1397
INTERNALS:
1398
1399
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
1400
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
1401
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1402
1403
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
1404
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
1405
(John Arbash Meinel)
1406
1407
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
1408
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
1409
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
1410
1411
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
1412
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
1413
(Aaron Bentley)
1414
1415
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
1416
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
1417
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1418
1419
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
1420
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
1421
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
1422
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
1423
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
1424
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1425
1426
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
1427
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
1428
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
1429
(Robert Collins)
1430
1431
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
1432
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
1433
1434
BUG FIXES:
1435
1436
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
1437
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
1438
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
1439
#63360, #66349)
1440
1441
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
1442
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
1443
1444
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
1445
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
1446
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
1447
1448
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
1449
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
1450
1451
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
1452
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
1453
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
1454
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
1455
1456
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
1457
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
1458
1459
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
1460
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
1461
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
1462
1463
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
1464
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
1465
1466
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1467
1468
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
1469
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
1470
#32054)
1471
1472
TESTING:
1473
1474
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
1475
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
1476
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
1477
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
1478
1479
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
1480
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
1481
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1482
1483
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02
1484
1485
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
1486
1487
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
1488
1489
BUG FIXES:
1490
1491
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
1492
1493
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
1494
Arbash Meinel).
1495
1496
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
1497
1498
IMPROVEMENTS:
1499
1500
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
1501
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
1502
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
1503
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
1504
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
1505
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
1506
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
1507
1508
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
1509
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
1510
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
1511
1512
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
1513
1514
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
1515
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
1516
1517
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
1518
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
1519
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
1520
(Robert Collins)
1521
1522
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
1523
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
1524
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
1525
(John Arbash Meinel)
1526
1527
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
1528
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
1529
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
1530
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
1531
Pool)
1532
1533
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
1534
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
1535
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
1536
(John Arbash Meinel)
1537
1538
BUG FIXES:
1539
1540
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
1541
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
1542
1543
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
1544
1545
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
1546
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
1547
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
1548
1549
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
1550
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
1551
1552
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
1553
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
1554
1555
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
1556
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
1557
1558
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
1559
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
1560
1561
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
1562
1563
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
1564
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
1565
1566
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
1567
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
1568
1569
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
1570
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
1571
1572
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
1573
(John Arbash Meinel)
1574
1575
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
1576
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
1577
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
1578
1579
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
1580
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1581
1582
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
1583
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
1584
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
1585
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
1586
1587
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
1588
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
1589
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
1590
1591
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
1592
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
1593
1594
PORTABILITY:
1595
1596
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
1597
1598
INTERNALS:
1599
1600
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
1601
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
1602
(John Arbash Meinel)
1603
1604
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
1605
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
1606
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
1607
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1608
1609
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
1610
(Andrew Bennetts)
1611
1612
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
1613
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
1614
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
1615
1616
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
1617
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
1618
1619
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
1620
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
1621
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
1622
1623
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
1624
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
1625
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
1626
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
1627
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
1628
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
1629
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
1630
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
1631
caller to repeat their request.
1632
(John Arbash Meinel)
1633
1634
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
1635
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
1636
1637
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
1638
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
1639
1640
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
1641
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
1642
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
1643
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
1644
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
1645
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
1646
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
1647
1648
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
1649
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
1650
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
1651
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
1652
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
1653
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
1654
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
1655
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
1656
(Robert Collins)
1657
1658
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
1659
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
1660
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
1661
1662
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
1663
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
1664
1665
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
1666
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
1667
1668
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
1669
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1670
1671
TESTING:
1672
1673
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
1674
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
1675
1676
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
1677
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
1678
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1679
1680
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
1681
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
1682
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1683
1684
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
1685
1686
IMPROVEMENTS:
1687
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
1688
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
1689
1690
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
1691
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
1692
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
1693
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
1694
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
1695
1696
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
1697
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
1698
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
1699
1700
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
1701
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
1702
1703
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
1704
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
1705
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1706
1707
BUG FIXES:
1708
1709
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
1710
1711
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
1712
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
1713
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
1714
1715
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
1716
1717
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
1718
1719
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
1720
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
1721
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
1722
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
1723
1724
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
1725
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
1726
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
1727
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
1728
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
1729
1730
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
1731
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
1732
1733
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
1734
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
1735
1736
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
1737
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
1738
1739
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
1740
in handling of revision properties.
1741
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
1742
1743
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
1744
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
1745
1746
INTERNALS:
1747
1748
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
1749
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
1750
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
1751
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
1752
(John Arbash Meinel)
1753
1754
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
1755
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
1756
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
1757
1758
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
1759
1760
SURPRISES:
1761
1762
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
1763
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
1764
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
1765
specific one '.bzrignore'.
1766
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
1767
a more conservative list than the old default.
1768
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
1769
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
1770
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
1771
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
1772
1773
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
1774
to more locations than just branch locations.
1775
(Aaron Bentley)
1776
1777
IMPROVEMENTS:
1778
1779
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
1780
revno:N:branch. For example,
1781
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
1782
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
1783
1784
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
1785
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
1786
the path of a file that has been versioned.
1787
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
1788
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
1789
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
1790
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
1791
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
1792
#42517, #42514)
1793
1794
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
1795
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
1796
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
1797
(Malone #3507)
1798
1799
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
1800
(Alexander Belchenko)
1801
1802
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
1803
1804
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
1805
(Robert Collins).
1806

* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
1808
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
1809
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
1810
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
1811
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
1812
(John Arbash Meinel)
1813
1814
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
1815
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
1816
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
1817
grained analysis of performance.
1818
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
1819
1820
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
1821
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
1822
1823
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
1824
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
1825
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
1826
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
1827
file. (Robert Collins).
1828
1829
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
1830
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
1831
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
1832
1833
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
1834
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
1835
Matthieu Moy)
1836
1837
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
1838
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
1839
1840
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
1841
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
1842
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
1843
the same way you would apply another branch.
1844
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1845
1846
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
1847
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
1848
1849
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
1850
(Michael Ellerman)
1851
1852
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
1853
(Aaron Bentley)
1854
1855
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
1856
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
1857
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
1858
1859
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
1860
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
1861
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
1862
1863
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
1864
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
1865
1866
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
1867
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
1868
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
1869
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
1870
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
1871
1872
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
1873
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
1874
1875
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
1876
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
1877
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
1878
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
1879
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
1880
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
1881
branch is as much as 4x faster.
1882
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
1883
1884
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
1885
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
1886
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
1887
1888
BUG FIXES:
1889
1890
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
1891
tests not to run.
1892
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
1893
1894
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
1895
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1896
1897
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
1898
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
1899
1900
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
1901
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
1902
1903
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
1904
1905
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
1906
(John Arbash Meinel)
1907
1908
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
1909
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
1910
1911
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
1912
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
1913
and y.
1914
1915
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
1916
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
1917
1918
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
1919
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
1920
1921
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
1922
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
1923
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
1924
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
1925
1926
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
1927
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
1928
1929
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
1930
1931
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
1932
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
1933
1934
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
1935
1936
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
1937
1938
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
1939
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
1940
1941
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
1942
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
1943
1944
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
1945
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
1946
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
1947
1948
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
1949
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
1950
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
1951
1952
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
1953
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
1954
1955
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
1956
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
1957
1958
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
1959
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
1960
1961
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
1962
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
1963
1964
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
1965
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
1966
1967
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
1968
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
1969
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
1970
1971
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
1972
1973
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
1974
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
1975
1976
INTERNALS:
1977
1978
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
1979
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
1980
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
1981
1982
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
1983
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
1984
1985
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
1986
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
1987
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1988
1989
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
1990
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
1991
1992
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
1993
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
1994
(Martin Pool)
1995
1996
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
1997
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
1998
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1999
2000
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
2001
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
2002
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2003
2004
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
2005
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
2006
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
2007
2008
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
2009
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
2010
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
2011
2012
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
2013
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
2014
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
2015
2016
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
2017
instead. (Robert Collins)
2018
2019
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

BUG FIXES:
2030
2031
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
2032
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
2033
2034
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
2035
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2036
2037
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
2038
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
2039

CHANGES:
2042
2043
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)

2049
2050
CHANGES:
2051
2052
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
2053
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
2054
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
2055
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
2056
2057
NEW FEATURES:
2058
2059
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
2060
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
2061
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
2062
2063
INTERNALS:
2064
2065
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
2066
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
2067
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2068
2069
TESTING:

2071
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
2072
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)

bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
2075
2076
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2077
2078
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
2079
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
2080
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
2081
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
2082
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
2083
will keep the same format.
2084
2085
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
2086
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
2087
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
2088
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
2089
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
2090
2091
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
2092
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
2093
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
2094
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
2095
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
2096
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
2097
indicating the current revision of the branch.
2098
2099
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
2100
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
2101
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
2102
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
2103
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
2104
2105
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
2106
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
2107
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
2108
arrangement.
2109
2110
2111
IMPROVEMENTS:
2112
2113
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
2114
convention. Paths now take the form::
2115
2116
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
2117
or
2118
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
2119
2120
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
2121
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
2122
2123
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
2124
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
2125
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
2126
2127
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
2128
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
2129
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
2130
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
2131
2132
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
2133
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
2134
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
2135
2136
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
2137
2138
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
2139
2140
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
2141
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
2142
commits::
2143
2144
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
2145
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
2146
| xargs bzr re-sign
2147
2148
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
2149
2150
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
2151
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
2152
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
2153
(Robert Collins)
2154
2155
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
2156
2157
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
2158
2159
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
2160
'.moved'.
2161
2162
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
2163
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
2164
2165
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
2166
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
2167
Daniel Silverstone)
2168
2169
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
2170
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
2171
Martin Pool)
2172
2173
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
2174
2175
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
2176
2177
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
2178
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
2179
2180
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
2181
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
2182
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
2183
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
2184
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
2185
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
2186
2187
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
2188
2189
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
2190
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
2191
(Robert Collins)
2192
2193
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
2194
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
2195
2196
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
2197
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
2198
2199
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
2200
2201
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
2202
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
2203
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
2204
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
2205
specification by Martin Pool.
2206
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
2207
2208
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
2209
Belchenko)
2210
2211
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
2212
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2213
2214
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
2215
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
2216
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
2217
2218
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
2219
2220
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
2221
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
2222
(Robert Collins)
2223
2224
CHANGES:
2225
2226
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
2227
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2228
2229
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
2230
2231
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
2232
2233
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
2234
(Olaf Conradi)
2235
2236
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
2237
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
2238
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
2239
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
2240
2241
INTERNALS:
2242
2243
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
2244
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
2245
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
2246
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2247
2248
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
2249
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
2250
tried. (Martin Pool)
2251
2252
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
2253
(Martin Pool)
2254
2255
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
2256
2257
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
2258
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
2259
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
2260
2261
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
2262
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
2263
2264
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
2265
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
2266
paths. (Robert Collins)
2267
2268
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
2269
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
2270
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
2271
2272
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
2273
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
2274
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
2275
2276
* Progress bars are now nested - see
2277
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
2278
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2279
2280
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
2281
(Olaf Conradi)
2282
2283
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
2284
(Olaf Conradi)
2285
2286
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
2287
2288
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
2289
2290
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
2291
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
2292
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
2293
(Robert Collins)
2294
2295
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
2296
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
2297
2298
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
2299
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
2300
check. (Robert Collins)
2301
2302
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
2303
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
2304
2305
TESTING:
2306
2307
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
2308
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
2309
2310
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
2311
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
2312
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
2313
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
2314
2315
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
2316
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
2317
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
2318
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
2319
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
2320
2321
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
2322
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
2323
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
2324
2325
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
2326
2327
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
2328
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
2329

CHANGES:
2333
2334
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
2335
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
2336
2337
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
2338
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
2339
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
2340
(Johan Rydberg)
2341
2342
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
2343
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
2344
2345
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
2346
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
2347
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
2348
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
2349
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2350
2351
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
2352
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
2353
used. (Robert Collins)
2354
2355
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
2356
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
2357
(James Henstridge)
2358
2359
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
2360
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
2361
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
2362
2363
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
2364
ignore list.
2365
2366
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
2367
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
2368
2369
IMPROVEMENTS:
2370
2371
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
2372
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
2373
2374
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
2375
2376
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
2377
2378
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
2379
tree. (Robert Collins)
2380
2381
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
2382
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
2383
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
2384
(Robert Collins)
2385
2386
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
2387
that they be kept.
2388
2389
* Tweaks to short log printing
2390
2391
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
2392
(Aaron Bentley)
2393
2394
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
2395
occurs. (Martin Pool)
2396
2397
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
2398
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
2399
2400
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
2401
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
2402
2403
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
2404
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
2405
settings. (Magnus Therning)
2406
2407
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
2408
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2409
2410
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
2411
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
2412
requests.
2413
2414
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
2415
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
2416
2417
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
2418
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
2419
2420
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
2421
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
2422
2423
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
2424
(Denys Duchier)
2425
2426
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
2427
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
2428
2429
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
2430
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
2431
2432
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
2433
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
2434
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
2435
2436
BUG FIXES:
2437
2438
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
2439
2440
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2441
2442
* Error when run with -OO
2443
2444
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
2445
(Martin Pool)
2446
2447
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
2448
2449
* Change status to 3 for all errors
2450
2451
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
2452
ignored by diff and status
2453
2454
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
2455
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
2456
2457
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
2458
2459
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
2460
2461
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
2462
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
2463
2464
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
2465
email address. (Marien Zwart)
2466
2467
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
2468
(Harald Meland)
2469
2470
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
2471
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2472
2473
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
2474
2475
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
2476
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
2477
2478
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
2479
(Martin Pool)
2480
2481
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
2482
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
2483
2484
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
2485
2486
TESTING:
2487
2488
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
2489
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
2490
2491
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2492
2493
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2494
2495
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
2496
2497
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
2498
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
2499
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2500
2501
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2502
2503
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
2504
(John Arbash Meinel)
2505
2506
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
2507
2508
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
2509
If adding a new test script please add that to
2510
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
2511
2512
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
2513
imported. (Martin Pool)
2514
2515
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
2516
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
2517
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
2518
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
2519
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
2520
(Robert Collins)
2521
2522
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
2523
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
2524
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
2525
2526
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
2527
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
2528
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2529
2530
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
2531
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
2532
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
2533
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
2534
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
2535
(Robert Collins).
2536
2537
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
2538
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
2539
(Robert Collins).
2540
2541
INTERNALS:
2542
2543
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
2544
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
2545
2546
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
2547
function. (Robert Collins)
2548
2549
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
2550
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
2551
if needed). (Robert Collins)
2552
2553
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
2554
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
2555
(Robert Collins)
2556
2557
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
2558
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
2559
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
2560
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
2561
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
2562
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
2563
version. (Robert Collins)
2564
2565
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
2566
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
2567
2568
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
2569
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
2570
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
2571
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
2572
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
2573
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
2574
2575
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
2576
(Robert Collins)
2577
2578
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
2579
2580
add()
2581
commit()
2582
move()
2583
rename_one()
2584
unknowns()
2585
2586
(Robert Collins)
2587
2588
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
2589
2590
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
2591
2592
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
2593
Pool)
2594
2595
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
2596
query method. (Robert Collins)
2597
2598
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
2599
(Denys Duchier)
2600
2601
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
2602
(Michael Ellerman)
2603
2604
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
2605
(Michael Ellerman)
2606
2607
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
2608
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
2609
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
2610
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
2611
2612
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
2613
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
2614
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
2615
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
2616
2617
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
2618
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
2619
2620
bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
2621
2622
IMPROVEMENTS:
2623
2624
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
2625
(John A Meinel)
2626
2627
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
2628
conflicts.
2629
(Aaron Bentley)
2630
2631
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
2632
a separator, not ':'.
2633
(Aaron Bentley)
2634
2635
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
2636
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
2637
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
2638
2639
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
2640
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
2641
(Robert Collins)
2642
2643
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
2644
has been added that suppresses all output.
2645
2646
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
2647
Adams.
2648
2649
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
2650
Goffredo Baroncelli.
2651
2652
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
2653
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
2654
2655
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
2656
a revision. (Robert Collins)
2657
2658
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
2659
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
2660
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
2661
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
2662
2663
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
2664
2665
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
2666
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
2667
2668
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
2669
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
2670
2671
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
2672
output directory, if one was supplied.
2673
2674
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
2675
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
2676
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
2677
parameters. (Robert Collins)
2678
2679
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
2680
2681
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
2682
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
2683
2684
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
2685
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
2686
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
2687
2688
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
2689
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
2690
2691
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
2692
(Aaron Bentley)
2693
2694
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
2695
2696
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
2697
2698
TESTING:
2699
2700
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
2701
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
2702
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
2703
2704
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
2705
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
2706
related questions. (Robert Collins)
2707
2708
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
2709
is given. (Martin Pool)
2710
2711
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
2712
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
2713
file. (Robert Collins)
2714
2715
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
2716
(Martin Pool)
2717
2718
INTERNALS:
2719
2720
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
2721
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
2722
representation. (Martin Pool).
2723
2724
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
2725
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
2726
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
2727
2728
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2729
(Robert Collins)
2730
2731
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
2732
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
2733
Magnus Therning.
2734
2735
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2736
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
2737
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
2738
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
2739
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
2740
2741
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
2742
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
2743
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
2744
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
2745
python path. (Robert Collins)
2746
2747
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
2748
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
2749
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
2750
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
2751
2752
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
2753
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
2754
2755
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
2756
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
2757
(Robert Collins)
2758
2759
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
2760
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
2761
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
2762
2763
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
2764
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
2765
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
2766
2767
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
2768
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2769
2770
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
2771
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
2772
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
2773
(Robert Collins)
2774
2775
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
2776
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
2777
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
2778
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
2779
(Robert Collins)
2780
2781
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
2782
(Robert Collins)
2783
2784
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
2785
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
2786
(Robert Collins)
2787
2788
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
2789
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
2790
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
2791
2792
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
2793
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
2794
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
2795
2796
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
2797
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
2798
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
2799
2800
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
2801
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
2802
2803
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
2804
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
2805
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
2806
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
2807
caller. (Robert Collins)
2808
2809
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
2810
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
2811
(Robert Collins).
2812
2813
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
2814
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
2815
(Aaron Bentley)
2816
2817
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
2818
2819
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
2820
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
2821
2822
BUG FIXES:
2823
2824
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
2825
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
2826
2827
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
2828
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
2829
2830
2831
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
2832
2833
BUG FIXES:
2834
2835
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
2836
allow directories to be listed.
2837
2838
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
2839
upgrading branch format.
2840
2841
PERFORMANCE:
2842
2843
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
2844
2845
2846
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
2847
2848
NOTES:
2849
2850
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
2851
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
2852
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
2853
high-latency connections.
2854
2855
BUG FIXES:
2856
2857
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
2858
Rob Weir.
2859
2860
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
2861
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
2862
2863
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
2864
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
2865
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
2866
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2867
2868
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
2869
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
2870
2871
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
2872
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
2873
2874
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
2875
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
2876
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
2877
2878
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
2879
for files with only a change to their executable status.
2880
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
2881
Robert Collins
2882
2883
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
2884
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
2885
2886
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
2887
different partial views of history.
2888
2889
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
2890
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
2891
2892
IMPROVEMENTS:
2893
2894
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
2895
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
2896
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2897
2898
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
2899
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
2900
'bzr upgrade'.
2901
2902
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
2903
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
2904
2905
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
2906
Niemeyer.
2907
2908
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
2909
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
2910
2911
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
2912
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
2913
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
2914
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
2915
2916
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
2917
2918
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
2919
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
2920
Gustavo Niemeyer.
2921
2922
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
2923
Contributed by Robert Collins.
2924
2925
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
2926
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
2927
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
2928
2929
2930
INTERNALS:
2931
2932
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
2933
for your viewing pleasure.
2934
2935
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
2936
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
2937
2938
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
2939
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
2940
handling of such circumstances.
2941
2942
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
2943
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
2944
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
2945
2946
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
2947
2948
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
2949
we call them revisions not patches.
2950
2951
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
2952
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
2953
2954
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
2955
giving the revision *of that file*.
2956
2957
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
2958
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
2959
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
2960
2961
TESTING:
2962
2963
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
2964
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
2965
2966
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
2967
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
2968
2969
2970
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
2971
2972
BUG FIXES:
2973
2974
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
2975
2976
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
2977
(Robert Collins).
2978
2979
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
2980
2981
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
2982
2983
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
2984
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2985
2986
IMPROVEMENTS:
2987
2988
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
2989
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
2990
2991
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
2992
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
2993
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
2994
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
2995
Robey Pointer
2996
2997
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
2998
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
2999
3000
INTERNALS:
3001
3002
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
3003
3004
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
3005
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
3006
3007
3008
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
3009
3010
IMPROVEMENTS:
3011
3012
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
3013
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
3014
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
3015
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
3016
Michael Ellerman.
3017
3018
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
3019
(Nir Soffer)
3020
3021
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
3022
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
3023
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
3024
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
3025
for the operating system is still tried.
3026
3027
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
3028
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
3029
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
3030
3031
3032
INTERNALS:
3033
3034
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
3035
3036
BUG FIXES:
3037
3038
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
3039
3040
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
3041
branch.
3042
3043
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
3044
read.
3045
3046
3047
PORTABILITY:
3048
3049
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
3050
3051
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
3052

3054
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
3055
3056
NEW FEATURES:
3057
3058
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
3059
help with intelligent shell completion.
3060
3061
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
3062
3063
3064
ENHANCEMENTS:
3065
3066
* Much better merge support.
3067
3068
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
3069
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
3070
like emacs smerge.
3071
3072
3073
BUG FIXES:
3074
3075
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
3076
mention revisions that are not present.
3077
3078
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
3079
3080
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
3081
3082
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
3083
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
3084
3085
3086
CHANGES:
3087
3088
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
3089
3090
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
3091
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
3092
--help themselves.
3093
3094
3095
LIBRARY:
3096
3097
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
3098
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
3099
libraries.
3100
3101
3102
3103
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
3104
3105
NEW FEATURES:
3106
3107
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
3108
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
3109
3110
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
3111
3112
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
3113
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
3114
3115
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
3116
FOO.
3117
3118
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
3119
3120
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
3121
the Unix command.
3122
3123
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
3124
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
3125
3126
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
3127
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
3128
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
3129
3130
3131
ENHANCEMENTS:
3132
3133
* Faster working tree operations.
3134
3135
3136
CHANGES:
3137
3138
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
3139
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
3140
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
3141
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
3142
3143
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
3144
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
3145
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
3146
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
3147
standard plugins directory.
3148
3149
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
3150
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
3151
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
3152
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
3153
3154
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
3155
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
3156
3157
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
3158
disk.
3159
3160
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
3161
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
3162
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
3163
3164
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
3165
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
3166
3167
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
3168
line options must come before the command name because they
3169
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
3170
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
3171
it.
3172
3173
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
3174
3175
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
3176
is available with ``--short``.
3177
3178
3179
BUG FIXES:
3180
3181
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
3182

3193
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
11
3194
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
12
3195
3196
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
3197
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
3198
with the ``--forward`` option.
3199
3200
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
3201
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
3202
field.
3203
13
3204
14
3205
ENHANCEMENTS:
15
3206
21
3212
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
22
3213
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
23
3214
24
* Add ``.*.swp .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
3215
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
25
3216
26
3217
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
27
3218
either read or write mode.
53
3244
54
3245
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
55
3246
3247
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
3248
3249
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
3250
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
3251
3252
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
3253
options through to an external GNU diff.
3254
3255
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
3256
their contents.
3257
3258
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
3259
from a branch.
3260
56
3261
57
3262
BUG FIXES:
58
3263
59
3264
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
60
3265
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
61
3266
3267
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
3268
metacharacters.
3269
62
3270
63
3271
TESTING:
64
3272
72
3280
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
73
3281
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
74
3282
3283
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
3284
under a different version.
3285
3286
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
3287
