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,
26
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
29
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
30
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
32
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
33
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
35
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
36
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
38
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
39
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
43
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
44
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
46
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
47
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
49
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
50
the repository (Robert Collins)
52
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
53
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
54
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
55
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
56
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
58
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
59
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
61
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
62
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
65
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
66
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
67
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
69
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
70
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
71
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
74
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
75
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
78
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
79
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
81
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
84
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
85
more robust against email mangling. New `send` command replaces
86
`bundle-revisions` and `merge-directive`. (Aaron Bentley)
88
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
90
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
91
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
93
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
94
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
97
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
98
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
99
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
100
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
102
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
103
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
104
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
106
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
107
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
108
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
110
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
111
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
116
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
117
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
118
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
119
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
121
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
123
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
128
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
129
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
130
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
131
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
133
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
134
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
135
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
136
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
137
tests have been refactored too.
140
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
141
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
142
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
146
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
147
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
148
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
150
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
151
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
152
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
153
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
154
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
155
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
156
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
158
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
159
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
160
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
161
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
164
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
165
functionality for testing.
167
* New ``file_names.FileNames`` support class which mananges names
168
for unlistable transport situations. (Robert Collins)
170
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
172
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
173
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
175
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
177
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
180
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
181
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
183
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
184
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
185
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
187
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
190
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
191
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
192
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
193
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
195
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
196
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
198
* ``Repository`` objects can now be compared with ``==`` and ``!=`` to
199
determine if they are the same repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
203
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
204
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
205
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
207
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
208
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
215
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
218
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
222
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
223
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
225
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
226
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
227
(James Westby, #122656)
229
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
230
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
232
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
233
authentication header.
234
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
236
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
238
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
239
Windows. (Martin_, #119330)
241
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
243
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
244
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
246
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
247
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
248
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
250
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
251
individually and as part of revision ranges.
254
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
255
(Martin Pool, #109169)
257
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
258
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
260
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
261
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
263
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
265
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
269
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
270
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
271
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
272
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
273
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
274
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
276
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
277
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
278
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
280
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
283
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
284
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
286
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
287
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
289
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
290
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
292
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
293
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
294
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
295
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
296
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
298
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
299
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
301
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
302
can be slow it is useful feedback).
303
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
305
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
306
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
308
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
310
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
311
output. (Aaron Bentley)
313
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
314
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
317
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
320
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
321
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
323
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
324
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
326
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
327
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
329
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
331
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
332
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
334
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
340
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
341
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
342
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
343
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
344
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
345
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
346
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
347
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
348
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
349
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
350
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
351
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
352
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
353
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
354
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
355
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
356
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
359
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
361
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
362
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
363
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
365
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
366
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
368
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
369
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
371
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
373
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
374
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
375
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
376
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
377
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
378
same location. (Robert Collins)
382
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
384
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
386
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
388
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
391
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
394
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
395
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
396
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
398
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
400
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
401
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
402
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
404
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
405
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
407
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
408
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
409
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
411
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
412
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
413
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
415
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
416
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
417
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
419
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
420
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
423
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
424
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
426
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
427
(Alexander Belchenko)
431
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
432
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
433
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
434
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
436
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
437
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
438
testing. (Robert Collins)
440
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
441
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
443
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
444
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
445
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
446
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
447
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
448
attribute during the test parameterisation in
449
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
451
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
452
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
453
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
454
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
456
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
457
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
459
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
460
avoid useless cloning.
461
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
468
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
469
(Colin Watson, #120647)
471
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.

477
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
479
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
480
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
481
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
482
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
483
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
484
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
485
and unlock() like so::
487
work_tree.lock_read()
489
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
494
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
495
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
497
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
498
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
499
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
501
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
502
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
503
too. (Robert Collins)
507
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
508
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
511
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
514
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
515
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
517
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
518
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
519
understanding what changes have occurred
520
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
522
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
523
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
524
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
526
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
527
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
528
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
529
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
531
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
536
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
537
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
538
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
539
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
540
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
542
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
543
based on split paths, not just string paths.
544
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
546
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
547
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
549
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
551
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
553
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
554
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
556
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
557
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
559
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
560
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
562
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
563
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
565
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
566
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
568
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
569
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
570
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
576
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
577
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
578
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
579
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
580
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
582
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
583
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
584
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
586
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
587
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
591
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
592
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
593
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
595
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
596
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
597
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
598
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
600
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
604
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
605
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
606
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
607
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
609
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
610
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
611
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
613
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
614
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
616
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
617
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
619
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
620
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
622
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
624
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
626
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
627
it could be recovered again.
628
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
629
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
630
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
632
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
634
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
635
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
639
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
640
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
642
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
643
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
644
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
645
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
647
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
648
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
650
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
651
tests with names that match that regular expression.
652
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
654
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
655
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
656
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
658
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
659
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
660
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
662
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
663
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
666
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
669
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
670
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
671
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
672
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
674
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
677
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
678
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
679
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
682
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
683
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
685
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
686
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
688
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
689
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
690
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
691
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
694
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
695
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
697
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
698
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
700
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
701
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
702
(Robert Collins, #107125).
704
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
705
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
706
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
708
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
709
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
710
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
712
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
713
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
714
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
715
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
717
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
718
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
719
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
720
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
722
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
723
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
724
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
725
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
726
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
727
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
728
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
729
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
735
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
736
code paths. (Robert Collins)
738
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
739
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
740
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
741
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
742
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
744
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
745
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
747
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
748
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
750
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
751
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
753
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
754
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
756
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
757
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
758
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
761
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
762
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
763
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
764
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
765
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
768
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
769
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
770
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
772
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
773
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
776
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
777
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
778
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
781
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
782
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
783
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
784
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
785
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
787
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
788
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
789
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
790
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
792
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
793
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
795
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
796
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
797
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
798
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
799
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
800
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
802
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
803
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
805
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
806
help. (Robert Collins)
808
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
809
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
811
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
812
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
813
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
814
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
817
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
818
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
819
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
820
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
821
useful. (Robert Collins)
823
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
828
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
829
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
831
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
832
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
834
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
835
properly and is no longer beneficial.
836
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
838
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
841
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
842
the file, and does it faster.
843
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
845
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
846
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
847
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
849
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
850
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
851
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
852
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
854
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
855
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
856
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
857
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
859
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
860
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
862
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
863
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
864
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
865
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
868
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
870
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
871
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
873
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
874
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
876
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
877
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
878
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
879
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
883
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
884
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
888
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
889
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
890
in running it. (Robert Collins)
892
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
893
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
895
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
896
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
897
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
898
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
899
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
900
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
901
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
902
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
904
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
905
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
906
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
908
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
909
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
910
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
911
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
912
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
914
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
916
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
917
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
918
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
920
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
921
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
928
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
931
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
932
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
935
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
939
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
940
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
945
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
946
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
947
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
948
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
949
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
950
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
951
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
952
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
957
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
958
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
959
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
961
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
962
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
965
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
966
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
969
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
970
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
971
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
972
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
973
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
977
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
980
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
981
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
983
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
984
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
986
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
987
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
988
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
990
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
991
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
993
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
994
last-changed-revision for directories. The
995
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
996
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
997
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
999
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
1000
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
1001
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
1003
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
1006
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
1008
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1010
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
1011
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
1012
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
1016
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
1017
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
1019
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
1020
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
1022
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1024
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
1025
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
1027
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
1028
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
1032
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
1037
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
1038
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
1039
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
1040
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
1042
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
1043
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
1045
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
1046
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
1048
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
1051
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
1052
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
1055
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
1059
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
1060
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
1061
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
1062
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
1063
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
1064
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
1066
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
1067
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
1068
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
1069
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
1070
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
1071
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
1073
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1075
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
1076
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
1077
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
1078
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
1079
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
1080
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
1081
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
1082
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1086
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
1087
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
1089
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
1090
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
1091
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
1092
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
1094
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
1095
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
1096
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
1097
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
1098
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
1100
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
1103
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
1106
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
1109
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
1110
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
1113
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
1116
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
1117
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
1119
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
1120
directory. (Martin Pool)
1122
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
1123
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
1124
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
1125
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
1127
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
1128
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
1129
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
1130
in docs/configuration.txt.
1132
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
1133
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
1136
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
1137
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
1138
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
1139
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
1140
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
1141
repositories. (Martin Pool)
1143
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
1144
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1146
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
1147
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
1149
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
1154
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
1155
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
1156
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
1157
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
1158
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
1159
(John Arbash Meinel)
1161
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
1162
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
1165
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
1166
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
1167
(John Arbash Meinel)
1169
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
1170
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
1171
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
1172
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
1173
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
1174
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
1176
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
1177
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
1178
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
1180
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
1181
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
1182
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
1183
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
1185
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1187
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
1188
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
1189
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
1190
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
1192
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
1193
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
1194
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
1195
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
1197
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
1198
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
1199
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
1201
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
1202
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
1203
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
1205
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
1206
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
1207
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
1208
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
1210
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
1211
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
1212
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
1214
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
1215
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
1216
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
1218
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
1219
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
1220
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
1221
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
1222
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
1223
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
1224
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
1225
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
1226
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
1227
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
1228
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
1232
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
1233
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
1234
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
1236
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
1239
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
1240
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
1241
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
1242
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
1244
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
1245
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
1248
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
1249
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
1251
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
1253
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
1254
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
1255
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
1257
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
1258
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
1260
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
1261
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
1263
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
1264
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
1266
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
1267
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
1269
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
1271
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
1272
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
1276
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
1277
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
1284
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
1288
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
1289
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
1290
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
1292
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
1293
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
1294
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
1297
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
1301
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
1302
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
1303
server, then you can write over the http connection.
1304
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1306
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
1309
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
1310
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
1311
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1313
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
1314
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
1316
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
1319
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
1320
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
1321
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
1322
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
1323
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
1324
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
1326
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
1327
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
1328
should enable you to do::
1330
[/home/user/project]
1331
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
1332
push_location:policy = appendpath
1334
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
1335
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
1338
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
1339
for each file. For example::
1341
$ bzr status --short
1347
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
1348
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
1350
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
1352
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
1353
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
1355
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
1359
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
1360
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
1361
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
1362
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
1364
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
1365
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
1366
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
1368
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1370
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
1371
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
1372
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
1373
(Alexander Belchenko)
1375
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
1378
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
1379
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
1381
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
1385
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
1386
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
1388
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
1389
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
1390
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
1391
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
1392
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
1394
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
1395
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
1397
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
1398
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
1400
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
1402
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
1404
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
1405
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
1406
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
1407
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
1408
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
1410
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
1411
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
1412
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
1413
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
1415
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
1416
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
1418
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
1419
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
1421
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
1422
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
1424
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
1425
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)
1430
No changes from 0.13rc1
1432
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
1436
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
1438
(Daniel Silverstone)
1440
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
1441
operations are substantially faster.
1442
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
1444
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
1445
tree from some other url. For example:
1446
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
1447
(Daniel Silverstone)
1449
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
1450
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
1451
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
1452
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
1454
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
1457
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
1458
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
1459
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
1460
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
1461
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
1462
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
1466
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
1467
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
1470
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1471
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1472
(John Arbash Meinel)
1474
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
1475
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
1476
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
1477
(John Arbash Meinel)
1479
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
1480
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
1482
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
1483
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1485
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
1486
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
1491
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
1492
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
1493
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
1495
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
1496
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
1497
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
1498
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
1500
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
1502
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
1503
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
1505
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
1506
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
1507
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
1508
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
1510
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
1511
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
1512
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
1514
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
1515
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
1516
them as full references rather than integers.
1517
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
1519
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
1520
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
1522
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
1524
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
1525
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
1527
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
1528
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
1530
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
1531
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
1532
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
1533
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
1535
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
1536
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
1537
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
1539
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
1540
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
1542
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
1543
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
1544
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
1545
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
1546
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
1550
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
1551
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
1557
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1558
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1559
(John Arbash Meinel)
1561
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
1565
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
1566
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
1567
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
1568
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
1570
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
1571
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
1573
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
1575
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
1576
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
1577
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
1578
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1580
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
1581
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
1582
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
1583
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
1584
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
1586
API INCOMPATABILITY:
1588
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
1589
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
1593
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
1594
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
1595
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1597
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
1598
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
1599
(John Arbash Meinel)
1601
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
1602
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
1603
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
1605
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
1606
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
1609
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
1610
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
1611
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1613
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
1614
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
1615
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
1616
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
1617
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
1618
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1620
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
1621
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
1622
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
1625
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
1626
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
1630
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
1631
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
1632
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
1635
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
1636
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
1638
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
1639
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
1640
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
1642
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
1643
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
1645
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
1646
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
1647
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
1648
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
1650
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
1651
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
1653
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
1654
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
1655
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
1657
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
1658
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
1660
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1662
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
1663
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
1668
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
1669
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
1670
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
1671
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
1673
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
1674
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
1675
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1679
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
1681
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
1685
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
1687
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
1690
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
1694
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
1695
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
1696
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
1697
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
1698
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
1699
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
1700
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
1702
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
1703
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
1704
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
1706
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
1708
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
1709
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
1711
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
1712
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
1713
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
1716
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
1717
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
1718
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
1719
(John Arbash Meinel)
1721
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
1722
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
1723
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
1724
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
1727
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
1728
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
1729
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
1730
(John Arbash Meinel)
1734
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
1735
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
1737
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
1739
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
1740
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
1741
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
1743
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
1744
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
1746
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
1747
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
1749
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
1750
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
1752
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
1753
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
1755
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
1757
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
1758
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
1760
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
1761
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
1763
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
1764
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
1766
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
1767
(John Arbash Meinel)
1769
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
1770
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
1771
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
1773
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
1774
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1776
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
1777
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
1778
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
1779
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
1781
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
1782
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
1783
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
1785
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
1786
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
1790
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
1794
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
1795
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
1796
(John Arbash Meinel)
1798
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
1799
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
1800
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
1801
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1803
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
1806
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
1807
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
1808
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
1810
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
1811
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
1813
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
1814
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
1815
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
1817
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
1818
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
1819
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
1820
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
1821
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
1822
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
1823
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
1824
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
1825
caller to repeat their request.
1826
(John Arbash Meinel)
1828
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
1829
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
1831
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
1832
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
1834
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
1835
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
1836
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
1837
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
1838
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
1839
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
1840
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
1842
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
1843
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
1844
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
1845
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
1846
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
1847
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
1848
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
1849
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
1852
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
1853
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
1854
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
1856
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
1857
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
1859
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
1860
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
1862
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
1863
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1867
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
1868
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
1870
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
1871
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
1872
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1874
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
1875
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
1876
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1881
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
1882
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
1884
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
1885
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
1886
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
1887
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
1888
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
1890
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
1891
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
1892
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
1894
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
1895
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
1897
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
1898
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
1899
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1903
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
1905
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
1906
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
1907
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
1909
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
1911
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
1913
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
1914
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
1915
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
1916
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
1918
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
1919
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
1920
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
1921
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
1922
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
1924
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
1925
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
1927
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
1928
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
1930
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
1931
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
1933
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
1934
in handling of revision properties.
1935
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
1937
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
1938
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
1942
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
1943
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
1944
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
1945
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
1946
(John Arbash Meinel)
1948
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
1949
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
1950
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
1952
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
1956
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
1957
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
1958
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
1959
specific one '.bzrignore'.
1960
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
1961
a more conservative list than the old default.
1962
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
1963
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
1964
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
1965
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
1967
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
1968
to more locations than just branch locations.
1973
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
1974
revno:N:branch. For example,
1975
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
1976
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
1978
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
1979
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
1980
the path of a file that has been versioned.
1981
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
1982
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
1983
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
1984
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
1985
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
1988
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
1989
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
1990
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
1993
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
1994
(Alexander Belchenko)
1996
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
1998
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
2001
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
2002
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
2003
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
2004
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
2005
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
2006
(John Arbash Meinel)
2008
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
2009
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
2010
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
2011
grained analysis of performance.
2012
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2014
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
2015
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
2017
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
2018
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
2019
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
2020
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
2021
file. (Robert Collins).
2023
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
2024
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
2025
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
2027
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
2028
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
2031
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
2032
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
2034
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
2035
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
2036
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
2037
the same way you would apply another branch.
2038
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
2040
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
2041
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
2043
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
2046
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
2049
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
2050
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
2051
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
2053
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
2054
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
2055
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
2057
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
2058
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
2060
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
2061
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
2062
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
2063
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
2064
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
2066
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
2067
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
2069
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
2070
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
2071
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
2072
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
2073
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
2074
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
2075
branch is as much as 4x faster.
2076
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
2078
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
2079
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
2080
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
2084
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
2086
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
2088
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
2089
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2091
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
2092
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
2094
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
2095
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
2097
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
2099
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
2100
(John Arbash Meinel)
2102
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
2103
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
2105
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
2106
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
2109
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
2110
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
2112
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
2113
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
2115
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
2116
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
2117
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
2118
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
2120
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
2121
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
2123
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
2125
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
2126
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
2128
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
2130
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
2132
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
2133
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
2135
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
2136
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
2138
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
2139
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
2140
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
2142
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
2143
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
2144
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
2146
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
2147
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
2149
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
2150
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
2152
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
2153
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
2155
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
2156
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
2158
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
2159
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
2161
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
2162
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
2163
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
2165
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
2167
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
2168
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
2172
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
2173
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
2174
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
2176
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
2177
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
2179
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
2180
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
2181
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2183
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
2184
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2186
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
2187
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
2190
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
2191
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
2192
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2194
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
2195
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
2196
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2198
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
2199
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
2200
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
2202
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
2203
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
2204
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
2206
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
2207
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
2208
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
2210
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
2211
instead. (Robert Collins)
2213
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
2215
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
2219
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
2221
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
2225
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
2226
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
2228
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
2229
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2231
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
2232
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
2233
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
2237
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
2239
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
2240
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
2242
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
2246
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
2247
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
2248
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
2249
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
2253
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
2254
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
2255
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
2259
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
2260
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
2261
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2265
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
2266
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
2270
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2272
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
2273
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
2274
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
2275
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
2276
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
2277
will keep the same format.
2279
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
2280
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
2281
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
2282
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
2283
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
2285
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
2286
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
2287
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
2288
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
2289
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
2290
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
2291
indicating the current revision of the branch.
2293
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
2294
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
2295
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
2296
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
2297
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
2299
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
2300
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
2301
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
2307
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
2308
convention. Paths now take the form::
2310
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
2312
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
2314
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
2315
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
2317
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
2318
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
2319
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
2321
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
2322
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
2323
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
2324
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
2326
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
2327
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
2328
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
2330
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
2332
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
2334
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
2335
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
2338
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
2339
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
2342
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
2344
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
2345
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
2346
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
2349
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
2351
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
2353
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
2356
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
2357
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
2359
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
2360
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
2363
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
2364
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
2367
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
2369
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
2371
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
2372
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
2374
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
2375
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
2376
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
2377
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
2378
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
2379
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
2381
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
2383
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
2384
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
2387
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
2388
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
2390
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
2391
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
2393
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
2395
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
2396
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
2397
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
2398
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
2399
specification by Martin Pool.
2400
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
2402
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
2405
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
2406
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2408
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
2409
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
2410
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
2412
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
2414
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
2415
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
2420
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
2421
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2423
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
2425
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
2427
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
2430
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
2431
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
2432
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
2433
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
2437
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
2438
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
2439
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
2440
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2442
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
2443
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
2444
tried. (Martin Pool)
2446
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
2449
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
2451
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
2452
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
2453
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
2455
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
2456
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
2458
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
2459
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
2460
paths. (Robert Collins)
2462
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
2463
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
2464
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
2466
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
2467
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
2468
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
2470
* Progress bars are now nested - see
2471
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
2472
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2474
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
2477
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
2480
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
2482
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
2484
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
2485
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
2486
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
2489
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
2490
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
2492
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
2493
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
2494
check. (Robert Collins)
2496
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
2497
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
2501
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
2502
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
2504
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
2505
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
2506
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
2507
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
2509
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
2510
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
2511
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
2512
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
2513
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
2515
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
2516
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
2517
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
2519
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
2521
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
2522
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
