bzr-0.0.5 NOT RELEASED YET
1
IN DEVELOPMENT
2
3
BUGFIXES:
4
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)
10
11
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
12
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
13
14
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
15
anymore.
16
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
17
18
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
19
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
20
(Vincent Ladeuil)
21
22
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
23
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
24
#111664)
25
26
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
27
(Lukáš Lalinský)
28
29
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
30
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
31
32
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
33
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
34
35
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
36
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
37
38
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
39
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
40
41
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
42
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
43
44
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
45
(Aaron Bentley)
46
47
IMPROVEMENTS:
48
49
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
50
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
51
52
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
53
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
54
55
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
56
the repository (Robert Collins)
57
58
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
59
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
60
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
61
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
62
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
63
64
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
65
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
66
67
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
68
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
69
(John Arbash Meinel)
70
71
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
72
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
73
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
74
about 10%).
75
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
76
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
77
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
78
(John Arbash Meinel)
79
80
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
81
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
82
(Robert Collins)
83
84
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
85
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
86
87
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
88
(Ian Clatworthy)
89
90
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
91
more robust against email mangling. New `send` command replaces
92
`bundle-revisions` and `merge-directive`. (Aaron Bentley)
93
94
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
95
96
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
97
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
98
99
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
100
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
101
Meinel)
102
103
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
104
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
105
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
106
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
107
108
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
109
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
110
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
111
112
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
113
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
114
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
115
116
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
117
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
118
119
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
120
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
121
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
122
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
123
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
124
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
125
(Ian Clatworthy)
126
127
* HTML documentation now use files extension *.html (Alexander Belchenko)
128
129
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
130
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
131
132
* ``bzr selftest --strict'' fails if there are any missing features or
133
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
134
135
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
136
137
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
138
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
139
140
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
141
142
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
143
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
144
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
145
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
146
147
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
148
149
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
150
(Robert Collins)
151
152
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
153
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
154
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
155
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
156
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
157
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
158
159
INTERNALS:
160
161
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
162
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
163
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
164
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
165
166
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
167
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
168
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
169
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
170
tests have been refactored too.
171
(Vincent Ladeuil)
172
173
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
174
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
175
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
176
list, it will.
177
(Vincent Ladeuil)
178
179
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
180
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
181
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
182
183
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
184
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
185
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
186
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
187
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
188
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
189
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
190
191
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
192
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
193
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
194
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
195
(John Arbash Meinel)
196
197
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
198
functionality for testing.
199
200
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
201
202
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
203
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
204
205
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
206
207
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
208
(Robert Collins)
209
210
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
211
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
212
213
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
214
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
215
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
216
217
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
218
(Aaron Bentley)
219
220
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
221
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
222
223
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
224
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
225
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
226
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
227
228
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
229
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
230
231
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
232
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
233
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
234
235
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
236
(Marius Kruger)
237
238
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
239
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
240
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
241
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
242
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
243
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
244
245
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
246
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
247
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
248
many files. (Robert Collins)
249
250
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
251
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
252
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
253
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
254
255
TESTING:
256
257
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
258
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
259
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
260
261
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
262
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
263
264
265
bzr 0.18 2007-07-17
266
267
BUGFIXES:
268
269
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
270
271
272
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
273
274
BUGFIXES:
275
276
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
277
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
278
279
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
280
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
281
(James Westby, #122656)
282
283
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
284
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
285
286
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
287
authentication header.
288
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
289
290
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
291
292
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
293
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
294
295
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
296
297
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
298
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
299
300
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
301
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
302
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
303
304
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
305
individually and as part of revision ranges.
306
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
307
308
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
309
(Martin Pool, #109169)
310
311
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
312
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
313
314
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
315
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
316
317
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
318
319
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
320
321
IMPROVEMENTS:
322
323
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
324
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
325
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
326
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
327
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
328
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
329
330
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
331
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
332
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
333
334
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
335
(Elliot Murphy)
336
337
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
338
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
339
340
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
341
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
342
343
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
344
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
345
346
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
347
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
348
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
349
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
350
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
351
352
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
353
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
354
355
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
356
can be slow it is useful feedback).
357
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
358
359
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
360
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
361
362
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
363
364
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
365
output. (Aaron Bentley)
366
367
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
368
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
369
(Robert Collins)
370
371
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
372
(Martin Pool)
373
374
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
375
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
376
377
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
378
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
379
380
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
381
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
382
383
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
384
385
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
386
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
387
388
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
389
(Andrew Bennetts)
390
391
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
392
393
* Testing cleanups -
394
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
395
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
396
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
397
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
398
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
399
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
400
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
401
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
402
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
403
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
404
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
405
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
406
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
407
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
408
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
409
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
410
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
411
(Robert Collins)
412
413
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
414
415
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
416
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
417
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
418
419
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
420
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
421
422
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
423
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
424
425
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
426
427
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
428
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
429
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
430
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
431
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
432
same location. (Robert Collins)
433
434
INTERNALS:
435
436
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
437
438
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
439
440
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
441
442
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
443
(Martin Pool)
444
445
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
446
(Martin Pool)
447
448
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
449
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
450
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
451
452
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
453
454
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
455
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
456
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
457
458
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
459
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
460
461
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
462
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
463
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
464
465
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
466
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
467
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
468
469
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
470
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
471
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
472
473
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
474
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
475
Martin Pool)
476
477
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
478
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
479
480
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
481
(Alexander Belchenko)
482
483
TESTING:
484
485
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
486
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
487
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
488
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
489
490
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
491
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
492
testing. (Robert Collins)
493
494
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
495
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
496
497
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
498
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
499
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
500
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
501
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
502
attribute during the test parameterisation in
503
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
504
505
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
506
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
507
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
508
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
509
510
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
511
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
512
513
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
514
avoid useless cloning.

531
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
532
533
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
534
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
535
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
536
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
537
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
538
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
539
and unlock() like so::
540
541
work_tree.lock_read()
542
try:
543
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
544
finally:
545
work_tree.unlock()
546
547
INTERNALS:
548
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
549
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
550
object.
551
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
552
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
553
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
554
555
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
556
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
557
too. (Robert Collins)
558
559
IMPROVEMENTS:
560
561
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
562
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
563
Aaron Bentley)
564
565
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
566
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
567
568
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
569
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
570
571
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
572
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
573
understanding what changes have occurred
574
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
575
576
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
577
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
578
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
579
580
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
581
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
582
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
583
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
584
585
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
586
#56322)
587
588
BUGFIXES:
589
590
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
591
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
592
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
593
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
594
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
595
596
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
597
based on split paths, not just string paths.
598
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
599
600
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
601
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
602
603
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
604
into account.
605
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
606
607
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
608
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
609
610
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
611
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
612
613
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
614
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
615
616
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
617
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
618
619
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
620
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
621
622
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
623
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
624
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
625
626
bzr 0.16 2007-05-07
627
628
BUGFIXES:
629
630
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
631
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
632
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
633
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
634
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
635
636
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
637
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
638
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
639
640
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
641
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
642
643
IMPROVEMENTS:
644
645
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
646
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
647
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
648
649
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
650
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
651
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
652
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
653
654
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
655
656
BUGFIXES:
657
658
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
659
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
660
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
661
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
662
663
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
664
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
665
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
666
667
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
668
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
669
670
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
671
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
672
673
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
674
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
675
676
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
677
678
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
679
680
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
681
it could be recovered again.
682
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
683
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
684
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
685
but not delete it.
686
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
687
files.
688
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
689
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
690
691
IMPROVEMENTS:
692
693
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
694
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
695
696
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
697
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
698
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
699
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
700
701
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
702
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
703
704
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
705
tests with names that match that regular expression.
706
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
707
708
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
709
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
710
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
711
712
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
713
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
714
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
715
716
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
717
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
718
Robert Collins)
719
720
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
721
Pool)
722
723
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
724
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
725
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
726
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
727
728
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
729
(Robert Collins)
730
731
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
732
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
733
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
734
(Robert Collins)
735
736
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
737
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
738
739
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
740
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
741
742
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
743
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
744
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
745
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
746
(Robert Collins)
747
748
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
749
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
750
751
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
752
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
753
754
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
755
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
756
(Robert Collins, #107125).
757
758
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
759
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
760
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
761
762
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
763
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
764
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
765
766
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
767
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
768
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
769
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
770
771
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
772
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
773
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
774
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
775
776
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
777
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
778
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
779
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
780
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
781
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
782
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
783
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
784
header(s).
785
(Vincent Ladeuil).
786
787
INTERNALS:
788
789
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
790
code paths. (Robert Collins)
791
792
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
793
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
794
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
795
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
796
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
797
798
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
799
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
800
801
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
802
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
803
804
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
805
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
806
807
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
808
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
809
810
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
811
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
812
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
813
(Robert Collins).
814
815
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
816
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
817
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
818
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
819
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
820
(Robert Collins)
821
822
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
823
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
824
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
825
826
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
827
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
828
(Vincent Ladeuil).
829
830
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
831
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
832
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
833
(Vincent Ladeuil).
834
835
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
836
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
837
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
838
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
839
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
840
841
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
842
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
843
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
844
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
845
846
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
847
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
848
849
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
850
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
851
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
852
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
853
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
854
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
855
856
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
857
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
858
859
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
860
help. (Robert Collins)
861
862
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
863
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
864
865
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
866
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
867
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
868
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
869
(John Arbash Meinel)
870
871
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
872
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
873
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
874
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
875
useful. (Robert Collins)
876
877
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
878
(Andrew Bennetts)
879
880
BUGFIXES:
881
882
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
883
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
884
885
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
886
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
887
888
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
889
properly and is no longer beneficial.
890
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
891
892
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
893
(Aaron Bentley)
894
895
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
896
the file, and does it faster.
897
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
898
899
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
900
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
901
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
902
903
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
904
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
905
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
906
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
907
908
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
909
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
910
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
911
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
912
913
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
914
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
915
916
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
917
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
918
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
919
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
920
Arbash Meinel)
921
922
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
923
924
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
925
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
926
927
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
928
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
929
930
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
931
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
932
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
933
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
934
security hole.
935
(Vincent Ladeuil)
936
937
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
938
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
939
940
TESTING:
941
942
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
943
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
944
in running it. (Robert Collins)
945
946
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
947
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
948
949
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
950
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
951
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
952
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
953
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
954
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
955
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
956
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
957
958
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
959
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
960
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
961
962
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
963
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
964
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
965
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
966
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
967
access.
968
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
969
970
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
971
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
972
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
973
974
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
975
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

CHANGES:
992
993
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
994
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
995
(Martin Pool)
996
997
IMPROVEMENTS:
998
999
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
1000
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
1001
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
1002
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
1003
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
1004
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
1005
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
1006
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
1007
path. (vila)
1008
1009
INTERNALS:
1010
1011
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
1012
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
1013
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
1014
1015
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
1016
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
1017
(Martin Pool)
1018
1019
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
1020
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
1021
(John Arbash Meinel)
1022
1023
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
1024
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
1025
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
1026
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
1027
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
1028
1029
BUGFIXES:
1030
1031
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
1032
(vila, #92195)
1033
1034
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
1035
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
1036
1037
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
1038
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
1039
1040
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
1041
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
1042
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
1043
1044
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
1045
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
1046
1047
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
1048
last-changed-revision for directories. The
1049
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
1050
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
1051
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
1052
1053
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
1054
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
1055
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
1056
1057
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
1061
1062
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1063
1064
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
1065
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
1066
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
1067
1068
IMPROVEMENTS:
1069
1070
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
1071
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
1072
1073
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
1074
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
1075
1076
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1077
1078
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
1079
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
1080
1081
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
1082
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
1083
1084
INTERNALS:
1085
1086
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
1087
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
1088
1089
BUGFIXES:
1090
1091
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
1092
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
1093
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
1094
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
1095
1096
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
1097
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
1098
1099
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
1100
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
1101
1102
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
1103
(Marien Zwart)
1104
1105
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

1109
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
1110
1111
SURPRISES:
1112
1113
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
1114
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
1115
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
1116
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
1117
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
1118
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
1119
1120
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
1121
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
1122
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
1123
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
1124
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
1125
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
1126
development.
1127
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1128
1129
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
1130
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
1131
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
1132
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
1133
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
1134
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
1135
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
1136
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1137
1138
IMPROVEMENTS:
1139
1140
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
1141
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
1142
1143
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
1144
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
1145
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
1146
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
1147
does exist.
1148
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
1149
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
1150
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
1151
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
1152
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
1153
1154
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
1155
(Aaron Bentley)
1156
1157
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
1158
(Aaron Bentley)
1159
1160
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
1161
(Robert Collins)
1162
1163
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
1164
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
1165
(Aaron Bentley)
1166
1167
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
1168
(Aaron Bentley)
1169
1170
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
1171
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
1172
1173
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
1174
directory. (Martin Pool)
1175
1176
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
1177
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
1178
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
1179
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
1180
1181
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
1182
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
1183
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
1184
in docs/configuration.txt.
1185
1186
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
1187
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
1188
bind location.
1189
1190
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
1191
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
1192
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
1193
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
1194
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
1195
repositories. (Martin Pool)
1196
1197
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
1198
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1199
1200
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
1201
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
1202
1203
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
1204
(Aaron Bentley)
1205
1206
INTERNALS:
1207
1208
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
1209
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
1210
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
1211
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
1212
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
1213
(John Arbash Meinel)
1214
1215
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
1216
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
1217
(Aaron Bentley)
1218
1219
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
1220
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
1221
(John Arbash Meinel)
1222
1223
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
1224
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
1225
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
1226
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
1227
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
1228
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
1229
1230
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
1231
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
1232
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
1233
1234
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
1235
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
1236
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
1237
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
1238
repository.
1239
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1240
1241
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
1242
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
1243
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
1244
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
1245
1246
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
1247
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
1248
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
1249
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
1250
1251
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
1252
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
1253
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
1254
1255
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
1256
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
1257
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
1258
1259
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
1260
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
1261
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
1262
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
1263
1264
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
1265
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
1266
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
1267
1268
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
1269
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
1270
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
1271
1272
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
1273
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
1274
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
1275
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
1276
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
1277
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
1278
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
1279
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
1280
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

1282
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
1283
1284
BUGFIXES:
1285
1286
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
1287
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
1288
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
1289
1290
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
1291
(Aaron Bentley)
1292
1293
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
1294
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
1295
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
1296
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
1297
1298
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
1299
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
1300
#83954).
1301
1302
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
1303

1305
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)

* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
1343
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
1344
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
1345
1346
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's

1353
IMPROVEMENTS:
1354
1355
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
1356
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
1357
server, then you can write over the http connection.
1358
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1359
1360
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
1361
(Marius Kruger)
1362
1363
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
1364
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
1365
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1366
1367
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
1368
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
1369
1370
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
1371
(Aaron Bentley)
1372
1373
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
1374
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
1375
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
1376
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
1377
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
1378
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
1379
1380
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
1381
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
1382
should enable you to do::
1383
1384
[/home/user/project]
1385
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
1386
push_location:policy = appendpath
1387
1388
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
1389
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
1390
(James Henstridge)
1391
1392
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
1393
for each file. For example::
1394
1395
$ bzr status --short
1396
A foo
1397
A bar
1398
D baz
1399

1400
1401
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
1402
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
1403
1404
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
1405
1406
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
1407
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
1408
1409
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
1410
1411
INTERNALS:
1412
1413
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
1414
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
1415
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
1416
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
1417
1418
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
1419
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
1420
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
1421
1422
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1423
1424
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
1425
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
1426
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
1427
(Alexander Belchenko)
1428
1429
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
1430
Pool)
1431
1432
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
1433
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
1434
1435
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
1436
1437
BUG FIXES:
1438
1439
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
1440
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
1441
1442
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
1443
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
1444
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
1445
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
1446
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
1447
1448
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
1449
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
1450
1451
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
1452
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
1453
1454
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
1455
matcher.
1456
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
1457
1458
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
1459
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
1460
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
1461
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
1462
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
1463
1464
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
1465
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
1466
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
1467
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
1468
1469
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
1470
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
1471
1472
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
1473
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
1474
1475
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
1476
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
1477
1478
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

IMPROVEMENTS:
1489
1490
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
1491
tree from a branch.
1492
(Daniel Silverstone)
1493
1494
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
1495
operations are substantially faster.
1496
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
1497
1498
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
1499
tree from some other url. For example:
1500
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
1501
(Daniel Silverstone)
1502
1503
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
1504
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
1505
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
1506
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
1507
1508
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
1509
(Andrew Bennetts)
1510
1511
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
1512
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
1513
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
1514
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
1515
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
1516
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
1517
1518
INTERNALS:
1519
1520
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
1521
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
1522
(Martin Pool)
1523
1524
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1525
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1526
(John Arbash Meinel)
1527
1528
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
1529
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
1530
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
1531
(John Arbash Meinel)
1532
1533
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
1534
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
1535
1536
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
1537
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1538
1539
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
1540
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
1541
Bennetts)
1542
1543
BUG FIXES:
1544
1545
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
1546
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
1547
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
1548
1549
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
1550
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
1551
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
1552
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
1553
1554
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
1555
1556
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
1557
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
1558
1559
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
1560
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
1561
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
1562
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
1563
1564
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
1565
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
1566
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
1567
1568
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
1569
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
1570
them as full references rather than integers.
1571
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
1572
1573
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
1574
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
1575
1576
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
1577
1578
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
1579
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
1580
1581
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
1582
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
1583
1584
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
1585
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
1586
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
1587
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
1588
1589
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
1590
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
1591
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
1592
1593
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
1594
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
1595
1596
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
1597
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
1598
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
1599
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
1600
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
1601
1602
TESTING:
1603
1604
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
1605
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
1606
1607
bzr 0.12 2006-10-30
1608
1609
INTERNALS:
1610
1611
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1612
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1613
(John Arbash Meinel)
1614
1615
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
1616
1617
IMPROVEMENTS:
1618
1619
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
1620
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
1621
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
1622
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
1623
1624
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
1625
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
1626
1627
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
1628
1629
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
1630
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
1631
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
1632
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1633
1634
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
1635
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
1636
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
1637
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
1638
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
1639
1640
API INCOMPATABILITY:
1641
1642
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
1643
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
1644
1645
INTERNALS:
1646
1647
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
1648
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
1649
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1650
1651
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
1652
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
1653
(John Arbash Meinel)
1654
1655
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
1656
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
1657
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
1658
1659
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
1660
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
1661
(Aaron Bentley)
1662
1663
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
1664
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
1665
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1666
1667
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
1668
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
1669
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
1670
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
1671
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
1672
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1673
1674
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
1675
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
1676
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
1677
(Robert Collins)
1678
1679
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
1680
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
1681
1682
BUG FIXES:
1683
1684
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
1685
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
1686
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
1687
#63360, #66349)
1688
1689
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
1690
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
1691
1692
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
1693
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
1694
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
1695
1696
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
1697
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
1698
1699
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
1700
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
1701
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
1702
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
1703
1704
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
1705
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
1706
1707
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
1708
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
1709
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
1710
1711
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
1712
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
1713
1714
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1715
1716
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
1717
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
1718
#32054)
1719
1720
TESTING:
1721
1722
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
1723
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
1724
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
1725
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
1726
1727
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
1728
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
1729
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1730
1731
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

1736
1737
BUG FIXES:
1738
1739
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
1740
1741
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
1742
Arbash Meinel).
1743
1744
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
1745
1746
IMPROVEMENTS:
1747
1748
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
1749
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
1750
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
1751
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
1752
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
1753
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
1754
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
1755
1756
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
1757
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
1758
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
1759
1760
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
1761
1762
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
1763
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
1764
1765
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
1766
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
1767
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
1768
(Robert Collins)
1769
1770
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
1771
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
1772
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
1773
(John Arbash Meinel)
1774
1775
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
1776
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
1777
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
1778
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
1779
Pool)
1780
1781
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
1782
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
1783
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
1784
(John Arbash Meinel)
1785
1786
BUG FIXES:
1787
1788
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
1789
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
1790
1791
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
1792
1793
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
1794
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
1795
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
1796
1797
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
1798
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
1799
1800
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
1801
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
1802
1803
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
1804
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
1805
1806
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
1807
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
1808
1809
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
1810
1811
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
1812
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
1813
1814
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
1815
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
1816
1817
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
1818
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
1819
1820
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
1821
(John Arbash Meinel)
1822
1823
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
1824
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
1825
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
1826
1827
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
1828
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1829
1830
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
1831
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
1832
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
1833
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
1834
1835
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
1836
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
1837
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
1838
1839
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
1840
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
1841
1842
PORTABILITY:
1843
1844
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
1845
1846
INTERNALS:
1847
1848
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
1849
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
1850
(John Arbash Meinel)
1851
1852
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
1853
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
1854
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
1855
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1856
1857
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
1858
(Andrew Bennetts)
1859
1860
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
1861
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
1862
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
1863
1864
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
1865
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
1866
1867
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
1868
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
1869
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
1870
1871
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
1872
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
1873
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
1874
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
1875
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
1876
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
1877
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
1878
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
1879
caller to repeat their request.
1880
(John Arbash Meinel)
1881
1882
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
1883
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
1884
1885
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
1886
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
1887
1888
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
1889
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
1890
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
1891
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
1892
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
1893
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
1894
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
1895
1896
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
1897
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
1898
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
1899
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
1900
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
1901
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
1902
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
1903
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
1904
(Robert Collins)
1905
1906
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
1907
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
1908
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
1909
1910
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
1911
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
1912
1913
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
1914
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
1915
1916
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
1917
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1918
1919
TESTING:
1920
1921
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
1922
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
1923
1924
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
1925
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
1926
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1927
1928
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
1929
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
1930
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1931
1932
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
1933
1934
IMPROVEMENTS:
1935
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
1936
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
1937
1938
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
1939
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
1940
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
1941
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
1942
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
1943
1944
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
1945
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
1946
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
1947
1948
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
1949
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
1950
1951
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
1952
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
1953
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1954
1955
BUG FIXES:
1956
1957
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
1958
1959
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
1960
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
1961
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
1962
1963
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
1964
1965
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
1966
1967
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
1968
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
1969
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
1970
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
1971
1972
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
1973
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
1974
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
1975
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
1976
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
1977
1978
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
1979
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
1980
1981
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
1982
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
1983
1984
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
1985
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
1986
1987
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
1988
in handling of revision properties.
1989
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
1990
1991
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
1992
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
1993
1994
INTERNALS:
1995
1996
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
1997
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
1998
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
1999
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
2000
(John Arbash Meinel)
2001
2002
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
2003
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
2004
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
2005
2006
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
2007
2008
SURPRISES:
2009
2010
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
2011
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
2012
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
2013
specific one '.bzrignore'.
2014
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
2015
a more conservative list than the old default.
2016
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
2017
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
2018
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
2019
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
2020
2021
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
2022
to more locations than just branch locations.
2023
(Aaron Bentley)
2024
2025
IMPROVEMENTS:
2026
2027
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
2028
revno:N:branch. For example,
2029
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
2030
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
2031
2032
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
2033
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
2034
the path of a file that has been versioned.
2035
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
2036
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
2037
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
2038
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
2039
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
2040
#42517, #42514)
2041
2042
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
2043
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
2044
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
2045
(Malone #3507)
2046
2047
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
2048
(Alexander Belchenko)
2049
2050
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
2051
2052
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
2053
(Robert Collins).
2054
2055
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
2056
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
2057
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
2058
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
2059
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
2060
(John Arbash Meinel)
2061
2062
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
2063
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
2064
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
2065
grained analysis of performance.
2066
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2067
2068
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
2069
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
2070
2071
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
2072
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
2073
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
2074
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
2075
file. (Robert Collins).
2076
2077
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
2078
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
2079
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
2080
2081
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
2082
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
2083
Matthieu Moy)
2084
2085
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
2086
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
2087
2088
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
2089
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
2090
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
2091
the same way you would apply another branch.
2092
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
2093
2094
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
2095
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
2096
2097
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
2098
(Michael Ellerman)
2099
2100
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
2101
(Aaron Bentley)
2102
2103
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
2104
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
2105
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
2106
2107
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
2108
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
2109
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
2110
2111
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
2112
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
2113
2114
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
2115
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
2116
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
2117
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
2118
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
2119
2120
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
2121
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
2122
2123
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
2124
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
2125
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
2126
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
2127
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
2128
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
2129
branch is as much as 4x faster.
2130
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
2131
2132
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
2133
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
2134
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
2135
2136
BUG FIXES:
2137
2138
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
2139
tests not to run.
2140
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
2141
2142
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
2143
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2144
2145
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
2146
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
2147
2148
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
2149
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
2150
2151
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
2152
2153
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
2154
(John Arbash Meinel)
2155
2156
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
2157
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
2158
2159
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
2160
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
2161
and y.
2162
2163
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
2164
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
2165
2166
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
2167
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
2168
2169
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
2170
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
2171
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
2172
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
2173
2174
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
2175
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
2176
2177
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
2178
2179
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
2180
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
2181
2182
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
2183
2184
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
2185
2186
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
2187
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
2188
2189
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
2190
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
2191
2192
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
2193
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
2194
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
2195
2196
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
2197
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
2198
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
2199
2200
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
2201
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
2202
2203
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
2204
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
2205
2206
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
2207
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
2208
2209
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
2210
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
2211
2212
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
2213
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
2214
2215
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
2216
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
2217
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
2218
2219
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
2220
2221
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
2222
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
2223
2224
INTERNALS:
2225
2226
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
2227
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
2228
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
2229
2230
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
2231
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
2232
2233
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
2234
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
2235
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2236
2237
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
2238
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2239
2240
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
2241
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
2242
(Martin Pool)
2243
2244
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
2245
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
2246
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2247
2248
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
2249
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
2250
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2251
2252
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
2253
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
2254
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
2255
2256
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
2257
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
2258
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
2259
2260
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
2261
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
2262
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
2263
2264
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
2265
instead. (Robert Collins)
2266
2267
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
2280
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
2281
2282
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
2283
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2284
2285
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
2286
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.

* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
2294
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)

* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
2297
2298
CHANGES:
2299
2300
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
2301
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
2302
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
2303
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
2304
2305
NEW FEATURES:
2306
2307
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
2308
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
2309
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
2310
2311
INTERNALS:
2312
2313
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
2314
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
2315
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2316
2317
TESTING:
2318
2319
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
2320
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)

2322
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
2323
2324
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2325
2326
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
2327
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
2328
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
2329
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
2330
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
2331
will keep the same format.
2332
2333
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
2334
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
2335
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
2336
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
2337
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
2338
2339
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
2340
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
2341
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
2342
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
2343
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
2344
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
2345
indicating the current revision of the branch.
2346
2347
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
2348
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
2349
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
2350
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
2351
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
2352
2353
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
2354
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
2355
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
2356
arrangement.
2357
2358
2359
IMPROVEMENTS:
2360
2361
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
2362
convention. Paths now take the form::
2363
2364
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
2365
or
2366
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
2367
2368
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
2369
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
2370
2371
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
2372
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
2373
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
2374
2375
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
2376
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
2377
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
2378
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
2379
2380
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
2381
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
2382
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
2383
2384
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
2385
2386
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
2387
2388
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
2389
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
2390
commits::
2391
2392
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
2393
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
2394
| xargs bzr re-sign
2395
2396
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
2397
2398
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
2399
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
2400
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
2401
(Robert Collins)
2402
2403
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
2404
2405
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
2406
2407
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
2408
'.moved'.
2409
2410
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
2411
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
2412
2413
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
2414
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
2415
Daniel Silverstone)
2416
2417
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
2418
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
2419
Martin Pool)
2420
2421
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
2422
2423
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
2424
2425
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
2426
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
2427
2428
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
2429
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
2430
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
2431
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
2432
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
2433
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
2434
2435
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
2436
2437
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
2438
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
2439
(Robert Collins)
2440
2441
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
2442
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
2443
2444
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
2445
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
2446
2447
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
2448
2449
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
2450
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
2451
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
2452
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
2453
specification by Martin Pool.
2454
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
2455
2456
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
2457
Belchenko)
2458
2459
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
2460
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2461
2462
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
2463
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
2464
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
2465
2466
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
2467
2468
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
2469
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
2470
(Robert Collins)
2471
2472
CHANGES:
2473
2474
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
2475
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2476
2477
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
2478
2479
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
2480
2481
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
2482
(Olaf Conradi)
2483
2484
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
2485
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
2486
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
2487
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
2488
2489
INTERNALS:
2490
2491
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
2492
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
2493
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
2494
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2495
2496
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
2497
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
2498
tried. (Martin Pool)
2499
2500
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
2501
(Martin Pool)
2502
2503
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
2504
2505
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
2506
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
2507
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
2508
2509
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
2510
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
2511
2512
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
2513
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
2514
paths. (Robert Collins)
2515
2516
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
2517
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
2518
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
2519
2520
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
2521
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
2522
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
2523
2524
* Progress bars are now nested - see
2525
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
2526
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2527
2528
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
2529
(Olaf Conradi)
2530
2531
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
2532
(Olaf Conradi)
2533
2534
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
2535
2536
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
2537
2538
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
2539
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
2540
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
2541
(Robert Collins)
2542
2543
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
2544
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
2545
2546
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
2547
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
2548
check. (Robert Collins)
2549
2550
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
2551
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
2552
2553
TESTING:
2554
2555
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
2556
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
2557
2558
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
2559
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
2560
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
2561
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
2562
2563
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
2564
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
2565
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
2566
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
2567
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
2568
2569
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
2570
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
2571
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
2572
2573
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
2574
2575
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
2576
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.

2580
CHANGES:
2581
2582
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
2583
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
2584
2585
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
2586
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
2587
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
2588
(Johan Rydberg)
2589
2590
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
2591
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
2592
2593
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
2594
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
2595
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
2596
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
2597
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2598
2599
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
2600
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
2601
used. (Robert Collins)
2602
2603
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
2604
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
2605
(James Henstridge)
2606
2607
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
2608
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
2609
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
2610
2611
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
2612
ignore list.
2613
2614
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
2615
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
2616
2617
IMPROVEMENTS:
2618
2619
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
2620
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
2621
2622
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
2623
2624
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
2625
2626
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
2627
tree. (Robert Collins)
2628
2629
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
2630
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
2631
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
2632
(Robert Collins)
2633
2634
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
2635
that they be kept.
2636
2637
* Tweaks to short log printing
2638
2639
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
2640
(Aaron Bentley)
2641
2642
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
2643
occurs. (Martin Pool)
2644
2645
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
2646
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
2647
2648
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
2649
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
2650
2651
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
2652
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
2653
settings. (Magnus Therning)
2654
2655
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
2656
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2657
2658
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
2659
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
2660
requests.
2661
2662
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
2663
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
2664
2665
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
2666
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
2667
2668
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
2669
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
2670
2671
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
2672
(Denys Duchier)
2673
2674
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
2675
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
2676
2677
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
2678
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
2679
2680
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
2681
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
2682
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
2683
2684
BUG FIXES:
2685
2686
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
2687
2688
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2689
2690
* Error when run with -OO
2691
2692
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
2693
(Martin Pool)
2694
2695
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
2696
2697
* Change status to 3 for all errors
2698
2699
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
2700
ignored by diff and status
2701
2702
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
2703
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
2704
2705
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
2706
2707
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
2708
2709
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
2710
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)

2712
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
2713
email address. (Marien Zwart)
2714
2715
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
2716
(Harald Meland)
2717
2718
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
2719
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2720
2721
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
2722
2723
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
2724
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
2725
2726
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
2727
(Martin Pool)
2728
2729
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
2730
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
2731
2732
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
2733
2734
TESTING:
2735
2736
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
2737
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
2738
2739
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2740
2741
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2742
2743
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
2744
2745
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
2746
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
2747
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2748
2749
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2750
2751
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
2752
(John Arbash Meinel)
2753
2754
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
2755
2756
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
2757
If adding a new test script please add that to
2758
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
2759
2760
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
2761
imported. (Martin Pool)
2762
2763
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
2764
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
2765
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
2766
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
2767
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
2768
(Robert Collins)
2769
2770
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
2771
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
2772
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
2773
2774
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
2775
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
2776
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2777
2778
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
2779
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
2780
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
2781
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
2782
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
2783
(Robert Collins).
2784
2785
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
2786
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
2787
(Robert Collins).
2788
2789
INTERNALS:
2790
2791
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
2792
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
2793
2794
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
2795
function. (Robert Collins)
2796
2797
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
2798
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
2799
if needed). (Robert Collins)
2800
2801
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
2802
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
2803
(Robert Collins)
2804
2805
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
2806
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
2807
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
2808
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
2809
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
2810
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
2811
version. (Robert Collins)
2812
2813
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
2814
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
2815
2816
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
2817
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
2818
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
2819
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
2820
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
2821
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
2822
2823
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
2824
(Robert Collins)
2825
2826
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
2827
2828
add()
2829
commit()
2830
move()
2831
rename_one()
2832
unknowns()
2833
2834
(Robert Collins)
2835
2836
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
2837
2838
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
2839
2840
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
2841
Pool)
2842
2843
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
2844
query method. (Robert Collins)
2845
2846
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
2847
(Denys Duchier)
2848
2849
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
2850
(Michael Ellerman)
2851
2852
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
2853
(Michael Ellerman)
2854
2855
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
2856
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
2857
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
2858
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
2859
2860
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
2861
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
2862
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
2863
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
2864
2865
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
2866
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
2867
2868
bzr 0.6 2005-10-28

2870
IMPROVEMENTS:
2871
2872
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
2873
(John A Meinel)
2874
2875
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
2876
conflicts.
2877
(Aaron Bentley)
2878
2879
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
2880
a separator, not ':'.
2881
(Aaron Bentley)
2882
2883
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
2884
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
2885
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
2886
2887
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
2888
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
2889
(Robert Collins)
2890
2891
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
2892
has been added that suppresses all output.
2893
2894
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
2895
Adams.
2896
2897
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
2898
Goffredo Baroncelli.
2899
2900
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
2901
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
2902
2903
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
2904
a revision. (Robert Collins)
2905
2906
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
2907
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
2908
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
2909
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
2910
2911
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
2912
2913
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
2914
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
2915
2916
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
2917
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
2918
2919
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
2920
output directory, if one was supplied.
2921
2922
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
2923
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
2924
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
2925
parameters. (Robert Collins)
2926
2927
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
2928
2929
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
2930
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
2931
2932
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
2933
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
2934
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
2935
2936
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
2937
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
2938
2939
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
2940
(Aaron Bentley)
2941
2942
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
2943
2944
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
2945
2946
TESTING:
2947
2948
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
2949
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
2950
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
2951
2952
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
2953
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
2954
related questions. (Robert Collins)
2955
2956
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
2957
is given. (Martin Pool)
2958
2959
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
2960
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
2961
file. (Robert Collins)
2962
2963
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
2964
(Martin Pool)
2965
2966
INTERNALS:
2967
2968
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
2969
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
2970
representation. (Martin Pool).
2971
2972
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
2973
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
2974
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
2975
2976
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2977
(Robert Collins)
2978
2979
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
2980
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
2981
Magnus Therning.
2982
2983
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
2984
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
2985
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
2986
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
2987
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
2988
2989
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
2990
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
2991
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
2992
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
2993
python path. (Robert Collins)
2994
2995
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
2996
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
2997
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
2998
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
2999
3000
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
3001
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
3002
3003
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
3004
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
3005
(Robert Collins)
3006
3007
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
3008
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
3009
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
3010
3011
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
3012
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
3013
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
3014
3015
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3016
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3017
3018
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
3019
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
3020
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
3021
(Robert Collins)
3022
3023
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
3024
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
3025
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
3026
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
3027
(Robert Collins)
3028
3029
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
3030
(Robert Collins)
3031
3032
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
3033
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
3034
(Robert Collins)
3035
3036
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
3037
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
3038
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
3039
3040
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
3041
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
3042
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
3043
3044
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
3045
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
3046
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
3047
3048
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3049
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3050
3051
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
3052
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
3053
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
3054
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
3055
caller. (Robert Collins)
3056
3057
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
3058
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
3059
(Robert Collins).
3060
3061
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
3062
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
3063
(Aaron Bentley)
3064
3065
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
3066
3067
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
3068
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
3069
3070
BUG FIXES:
3071
3072
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
3073
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
3074
3075
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
3076
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
3077
3078
3079
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
3080
3081
BUG FIXES:
3082
3083
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
3084
allow directories to be listed.
3085
3086
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
3087
upgrading branch format.
3088
3089
PERFORMANCE:
3090
3091
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
3092
3093
3094
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
3095
3096
NOTES:
3097
3098
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
3099
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
3100
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
3101
high-latency connections.
3102
3103
BUG FIXES:
3104
3105
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
3106
Rob Weir.
3107
3108
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
3109
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
3110
3111
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
3112
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
3113
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
3114
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3115
3116
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
3117
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
3118
3119
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
3120
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
3121
3122
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
3123
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
3124
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3125
3126
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
3127
for files with only a change to their executable status.
3128
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
3129
Robert Collins
3130
3131
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
3132
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
3133
3134
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
3135
different partial views of history.
3136
3137
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
3138
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
3139
3140
IMPROVEMENTS:
3141
3142
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
3143
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
3144
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3145
3146
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
3147
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
3148
'bzr upgrade'.
3149
3150
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
3151
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
3152
3153
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
3154
Niemeyer.
3155
3156
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
3157
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
3158
3159
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
3160
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
3161
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
3162
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3163
3164
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
3165
3166
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
3167
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
3168
Gustavo Niemeyer.
3169
3170
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
3171
Contributed by Robert Collins.
3172
3173
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
3174
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
3175
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
3176
3177
3178
INTERNALS:
3179
3180
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
3181
for your viewing pleasure.
3182
3183
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
3184
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
3185
3186
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
3187
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
3188
handling of such circumstances.
3189
3190
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
3191
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
3192
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
3193
3194
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
3195
3196
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
3197
we call them revisions not patches.
3198
3199
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
3200
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
3201
3202
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
3203
giving the revision *of that file*.
3204
3205
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
3206
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
3207
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
3208
3209
TESTING:
3210
3211
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
3212
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
3213
3214
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
3215
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
3216
3217
3218
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
3219
3220
BUG FIXES:
3221
3222
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
3223
3224
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
3225
(Robert Collins).
3226
3227
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
3228
3229
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
3230
3231
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
3232
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3233
3234
IMPROVEMENTS:
3235
3236
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
3237
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
3238
3239
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
3240
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
3241
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
3242
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
3243
Robey Pointer
3244
3245
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
3246
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3247
3248
INTERNALS:
3249
3250
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
3251
3252
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
3253
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
3254
3255
3256
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
3257
3258
IMPROVEMENTS:
3259
3260
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
3261
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
3262
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
3263
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
3264
Michael Ellerman.
3265
3266
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
3267
(Nir Soffer)
3268
3269
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
3270
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
3271
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
3272
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
3273
for the operating system is still tried.
3274
3275
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
3276
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
3277
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
3278
3279
3280
INTERNALS:
3281
3282
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
3283
3284
BUG FIXES:
3285
3286
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
3287
3288
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
3289
branch.
3290
3291
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
3292
read.
3293
3294
3295
PORTABILITY:
3296
3297
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
3298
3299
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
3300
3301
3302
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
3303
3304
NEW FEATURES:
3305
3306
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
3307
help with intelligent shell completion.
3308
3309
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
3310
3311
3312
ENHANCEMENTS:
3313
3314
* Much better merge support.
3315
3316
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
3317
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
3318
like emacs smerge.
3319
3320
3321
BUG FIXES:
3322
3323
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
3324
mention revisions that are not present.
3325
3326
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
3327
3328
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
3329
3330
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
3331
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
3332
3333
3334
CHANGES:
3335
3336
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
3337
3338
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
3339
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
3340
--help themselves.
3341
3342
3343
LIBRARY:
3344
3345
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
3346
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
3347
libraries.
3348
3349
3350
3351
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
3352
3353
NEW FEATURES:
3354
3355
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
3356
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
3357
3358
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
3359
3360
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
3361
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
3362
3363
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
3364
FOO.
3365
3366
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
3367
3368
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
3369
the Unix command.
3370
3371
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
3372
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
3373
3374
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
3375
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
3376
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
3377
3378
3379
ENHANCEMENTS:
3380
3381
* Faster working tree operations.
3382
3383
3384
CHANGES:
3385
3386
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
3387
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
3388
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
3389
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
3390
3391
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
3392
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
3393
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
3394
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
3395
standard plugins directory.
3396
3397
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
3398
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
3399
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
3400
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
3401
3402
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
3403
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
3404
3405
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
3406
disk.
3407
3408
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
3409
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
3410
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
3411
3412
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
3413
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
3414
3415
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
3416
line options must come before the command name because they
3417
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
3418
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
3419
it.
3420
3421
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
3422
3423
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
3424
is available with ``--short``.
3425
3426
3427
BUG FIXES:
3428
3429
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
3430
3431
3432
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
3433
3434
CHANGES:
3435
3436
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
3437
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3438
3439
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
3440
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
3441
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
3442
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
3443
3444
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
3445
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
3446
with the ``--forward`` option.
3447
3448
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
3449
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
3450
field.
3451

3452

3453
ENHANCEMENTS:
4
3454
5
3455
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
6
3456
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
7
3457
8
* New 'bzr ignore PATTERN' command.
3458
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
9
3459
10
3460
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
11
3461
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
12
3462
13
* Add ``.*.swp .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
3463
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
14
3464
15
3465
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
16
3466
either read or write mode.
25
3475
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
26
3476
suggested by LarstiQ.
27
3477
28
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz Oler.
3478
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
3479
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
3480
3481
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
3482
a filename.
3483
3484
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
3485
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
3486
3487
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
3488
haven't changed since the previous time.
3489
3490
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
3491
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
3492
3493
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
3494
3495
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
3496
3497
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
3498
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
3499
3500
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
3501
options through to an external GNU diff.
3502
3503
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
3504
their contents.
3505
3506
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
3507
from a branch.
3508
3509
3510
BUG FIXES:
3511
3512
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
3513
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
3514
3515
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
3516
metacharacters.

3519
TESTING:
40
3528
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
41
3529
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
42
3530
3531
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
3532
under a different version.
3533
3534
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
3535

3543
51
3544
* Better help messages for many commands.
52
3545
53
* Expose bzrlib.open_tracefile() to start the tracefile; until
3546
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
54
3547
this is called trace messages are just discarded.

* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
57
3550
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
58
3551
59
* Simpler and faster compare_inventories() function.

* bzrlib.open_tracefile() takes a tracefilename parameter.
3552
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
3553
3554
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.

3558
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
3559
3560
3561
PORTABILITY:
3562
3563
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
3564
2.4 is now only recommended.
