5
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
6
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
7
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
8
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
9
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
11
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
12
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
14
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
16
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
18
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
19
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
22
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
23
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
28
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
29
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
31
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
32
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
34
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
35
the repository (Robert Collins)
37
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
38
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
39
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
40
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
41
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
43
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
44
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
46
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
47
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
50
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
51
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
52
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
54
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
55
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
56
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
59
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
60
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
63
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
64
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
66
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
69
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
70
more robust against email mangling. (Aaron Bentley)
72
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
76
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
77
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
78
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
79
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
83
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
84
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
85
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
86
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
88
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
89
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
90
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
91
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
92
tests have been refactored too.
95
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
96
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
97
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
101
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
102
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
103
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
105
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
106
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
107
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
108
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
109
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
110
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
111
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
113
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
114
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
115
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
116
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
119
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
120
functionality for testing.
122
* New ``file_names.FileNames`` support class which mananges names
123
for unlistable transport situations. (Robert Collins)
125
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
127
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
128
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
130
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
134
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
135
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
136
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
138
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
139
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
146
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
149
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
153
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
154
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
156
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
157
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
158
(James Westby, #122656)
160
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
161
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
163
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
164
authentication header.
165
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
167
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
169
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
170
Windows. (Martin_, #119330)
172
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
174
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
175
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
177
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
178
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
179
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
181
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
182
individually and as part of revision ranges.
185
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
186
(Martin Pool, #109169)
188
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
189
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
191
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
192
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
194
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
196
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
200
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
201
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
202
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
203
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
204
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
205
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
207
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
208
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
209
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
211
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
214
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
215
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
217
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
218
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
220
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
221
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
223
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
224
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
225
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
226
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
227
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
229
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
230
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
232
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
233
can be slow it is useful feedback).
234
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
236
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
237
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
239
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
241
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
242
output. (Aaron Bentley)
244
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
245
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
248
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
251
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
252
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
254
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
255
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
257
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
258
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
260
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
262
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
263
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
265
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.

``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to

``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
285
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
286
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
287
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
290
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
292
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
293
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
294
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
296
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
297
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
299
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
300
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
302
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
304
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
305
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
306
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
307
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
308
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
309
same location. (Robert Collins)
313
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
315
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
317
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
319
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
322
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
325
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
326
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
327
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
329
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
331
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
332
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
333
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
335
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
336
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
338
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
339
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
340
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
342
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
343
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
344
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
346
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
347
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
348
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
350
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
351
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
354
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
355
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
357
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
358
(Alexander Belchenko)
362
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
363
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
364
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
365
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
367
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
368
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
369
testing. (Robert Collins)
371
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
372
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
374
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
375
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
376
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
377
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
378
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
379
attribute during the test parameterisation in
380
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
382
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
383
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
384
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
385
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
387
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
388
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
390
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
391
avoid useless cloning.
392
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
399
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
400
(Colin Watson, #120647)
402
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.

bzr 0.17rc1 2007-06-12
408
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
410
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
411
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
412
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
413
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
414
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
415
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
416
and unlock() like so::
418
work_tree.lock_read()
420
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
425
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
426
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
428
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
429
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
430
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
432
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
433
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
434
too. (Robert Collins)
438
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
439
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
442
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
445
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
446
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
448
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
449
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
450
understanding what changes have occurred
451
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
453
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
454
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
455
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
457
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
458
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
459
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
460
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
462
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
5
467
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
6
468
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
7
469
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
8
470
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
9
471
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
473
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
474
based on split paths, not just string paths.
475
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
477
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
478
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
480
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
482
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
484
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
485
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
487
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
488
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
490
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
491
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
493
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
494
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
496
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
497
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
499
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
500
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
501
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
