:2.2b3: NOT RELEASED YET
19
* ``bzr commit`` accepts ``-p`` (for "patch") as a shorter name for
21
(Parth Malwankar, #571467)
23
* ``bzr ignore`` now supports a ``--default-rules`` option that displays
24
the default ignore rules used by bzr. The flag ``--old-default-rules``
25
is no longer supported by ``ignore``.
26
(Parth Malwankar, #538703)
28
* ``bzr pack`` now supports a ``--clean-obsolete-packs`` option that
29
can save disk space by deleting obsolete pack files created during the
31
(Parth Malwankar, #304320)
36
* ``.bazaar``, ``.bazaar/bazaar.conf`` and ``.bzr.log`` inherit user and
37
group ownership from the containing directory. This allow bzr to work
39
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, Parth Malwankar, #376388)
41
* ``bzr log --exclude-common-ancestry -r X..Y`` displays the revisions that
42
are part of Y ancestry but not part of X ancestry (aka the graph
44
(Vincent Ladeuil, #320119)
46
* ``bzr selftest --parallel=fork`` wait for its children avoiding zombies.
47
(Vincent Ladeuil, #566670)
49
* ``bzr selftest`` should not use ui.note() since it's not unicode safe.
50
(Vincent Ladeuil, #563997)
52
* Don't mention --no-strict when we just issue the warning about unclean trees.
53
(Vincent Ladeuil, #401599)
55
* Fixed ``AssertionError`` when accessing smart servers running Bazaar
57
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
59
* Reduce peak memory by one copy of compressed text.
60
(John Arbash Meinel, #566940)
62
* Show the filenames when a file rename fails so that the error will be
64
(Martin Pool, #491763)
69
* ``append_revisions_only`` will now be interpreted as a boolean and a
70
warning emitted if illegal values are used. Note that for projects
71
that needs to maintain compatibility with previsous bzr versions,
72
only 'True' and 'False' strings must be used (previous versions of
73
bzr will interpret all strings differing from 'True'
74
(case-sensitive) as false.
75
(Brian de Alwis, Vincent Ladeuil)
77
* ``Config.get_user_option_as_bool`` will now warn if a value cannot
78
be interpreted as a boolean.
87
* Added ``bzrlib.merge.PerFileMerger``, a more convenient way to write
88
some kinds of ``merge_file_content`` hook functions.
91
* `BzrDir`, `Branch`, `Repository` and `WorkingTree` now all support `user_url`,
92
`user_transport`, `control_url` and `control_transport` members pointing
93
respectively to the directory containing the ``.bzr`` control directory,
94
and to the directory within ``.bzr`` used for the particular component.
95
All of them inherit from `ControlComponent` which provides default
99
* Lock methods on ``Tree``, ``Branch`` and ``Repository`` are now
100
expected to return an object which can be used to unlock them. This reduces
101
duplicate code when using cleanups. The previous 'tokens's returned by
102
``Branch.lock_write`` and ``Repository.lock_write`` are now attributes
103
on the result of the lock_write. ``repository.RepositoryWriteLockResult``
104
and ``branch.BranchWriteLockResult`` document this. (Robert Collins)
109
* ``log._get_info_for_log_files`` now takes an add_cleanup callable.
112
* ``_remember_remote_is_before`` no longer raises AssertionError when
113
suboptimal network behaviour is noticed; instead it just mutters to the
114
log file (and warns the user if they have set the ``hpss`` debug flag).
115
This was causing unnecessary aborts for performance bugs that are minor
117
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
119
* Permit bzr to run under ``python -OO`` which reduces the size of bytecode
120
files loaded from disk. To ensure docstrings needed for help are never
121
stripped, the prefix ``__doc__ =`` should now be used.
122
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>)
127
* Added ``bzrlib.tests.matchers`` as a place to put matchers, along with
128
our first in-tree matcher. See the module docstring for details.
131
* ``bzr selftest --parallel=subprocess`` now works correctly on win32.
132
(Gordon Tyler, #551332)
134
* Workaround ``Crypto.Random`` check leading to spurious test
135
failures on Lucid, FreeBSD and gentoo.
136
(Vincent Ladeuil, #528436)
143
This is a somewhat early second beta of the 2.2 series, to fix a python2.4
144
incompatibility in the 2.2b1 release. It also includes a swag of
145
performance, usability and correctness improvements: test feedback on all
146
of these would be welcome.
152
* ``bzr diff`` now supports a --format option, which can be used to
153
select alternative diff formats. (Jelmer Vernooij, #555994)
158
* ``bzr dpush``, ``bzr push`` and ``bzr send`` will now issue a warning
159
instead of failing when dirty trees are involved. The corresponding
160
``dpush_strict``, ``push_strict`` and ``send_strict`` should be set to
161
True explicitly to get the previous behaviour.
162
(Vincent Ladeuil, #519319)
164
* ``bzr export`` to tar file does not fail if any parent directory
165
contains unicode characters. This works around upstream Python bug
166
http://bugs.python.org/issue8396 .
167
(Parth Malwankar, #413406)
169
* ``bzr switch`` does not die if a ConfigurableFileMerger is used.
170
(Aaron Bentley, #559436)
172
* ``bzr update`` when a pending merge in the working tree has been merged
173
into the master branch will no longer claim that old commits have become
174
pending merges. (Robert Collins, #562079)
176
* ``bzrlib.mutabletree.MutableTree.commit`` will now support a passed in
177
config as in previous versions of bzrlib. (Robert Collins)
179
* Fix glitch in the warning about unclean trees display.
180
(Vincent Ladeuil, #562665)
182
* Fixed Python2.4 incompatibilities in the bzr2.2b1 source tarball.
185
* Help messages generated by ``RegistryOption.from_kwargs`` list the
186
switches in alphabetical order, rather than in an undefined order.
187
(Martin von Gagern, #559409)
189
* Make sure the ``ExecutablePath`` and ``InterpreterPath`` are set in
190
Apport crash reports, to avoid "This problem report applies to a program
191
which is not installed any more" error.
192
(Martin Pool, James Westby, #528114)
194
* Reset ``siginterrupt`` flag to False every time we handle a signal
195
installed with ``set_signal_handler(..., restart_syscall=True)`` (from
196
``bzrlib.osutils``. Reduces the likelihood of "Interrupted System Call"
197
errors after two window resizes.
200
* When invoked with a range revision, ``bzr log`` doesn't show revisions
201
that are not part of the Y revisions ancestry anymore when invoked with
203
(Vincent Ladeuil, #474807)
205
* Properly handle ``param_name`` attribute for ``ListOption``.
206
(Martin von Gagern, 387117)
211
* ``bzr commit`` will prompt before using a commit message that was
212
generated by a template and not edited by the user.
213
(Robert Collins, #530265)
215
* ``bzr diff`` read-locks the trees and branches only once, saving about
216
10-20ms on ``bzr diff`` in a bzr.dev tree.
219
* ``bzr missing`` read-locks the branches only once.
222
* ``bzr pull`` locks the branches and tree only once.
225
* Index lookups in pack repositories search recently hit pack files first.
226
In repositories with many pack files this can greatly reduce the
227
number of files accessed, the number of bytes read, and the number of
228
read calls. An incremental pull via plain HTTP takes half the time and
229
bytes for a moderately large repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
231
* Index lookups only re-order the indexes when the hit files aren't
232
already first. Reduces the cost of reordering
233
(John Arbash Meinel, #562429)
235
* Less code is loaded at startup. (Cold-cache start time is about 10-20%
237
(Martin Pool, #553017)
242
* ``bzrlib.diff.get_trees_and_branches_to_diff`` is deprecated. Use
243
``get_trees_and_branches_to_diff_locked`` instead.
249
* ``bzrlib.commands.Command.run_direct`` is no longer needed - the pre
250
2.1 method of calling run() to perform testing or direct use via the API
251
is now possible again. As part of this, the _operation attribute on
252
Command is now transient and only exists for the duration of ``run()``.
263
* BTreeGraphIndex can now take an offset to indicate that the data starts
264
somewhere other than then beginning of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
266
* Deleted very old hidden commands ``versionedfile-list``,
267
``weave-plan-merge``, ``weave-merge-text``.
270
* ``Repository.get_inventory_sha1()`` and ``Repository.get_revision_xml()``
271
have been removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
273
* ``Repository.get_revision_inventory()`` has been removed in favor of
274
``Repository.get_inventory()``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
276
* All test servers have been moved out of the bzrlib.transport hierarchy to
277
bzrlib.tests.test_server *except* for MemoryServer, ChrootServer and
278
PathFilteringServer. ``bzrlib`` users may encounter test failures that can
279
be fixed by updating the related imports from ``bzrlib.transport.xxx`` to
280
``bzrlib.tests.test_server``.
283
* ``BranchReferenceFormat.initialize()`` now takes an optional name argument
284
as its second parameter, for consistency with the initialize() method of
285
other formats. (Jelmer Vernooij)
290
* Added ``bzr remove-branch`` command that can remove a local or remote
291
branch. (Jelmer Vernooij, #276295)
293
* ``bzr export`` now takes an optional argument ``--per-file-timestamps``
294
to set file mtimes to the last timestamp of the last revision in which
295
they were changed rather than the current time. (Jelmer Vernooij)
297
* If the Apport crash-reporting tool is available, bzr crashes are now
298
stored into the ``/var/crash`` apport spool directory, and the user is
299
invited to report them to the developers from there, either
300
automatically or by running ``apport-bug``. No information is sent
301
without specific permission from the user. (Martin Pool, #515052)
303
* Parsing of command lines, for example in ``diff --using``, no longer
304
treats backslash as an escape character on Windows. (Gordon Tyler,
307
* Plugins can be disabled by defining ``BZR_DISABLE_PLUGINS`` as
308
a list of plugin names separated by ':' (';' on windows).
309
(Vincent Ladeuil, #411413)
311
* Plugins can be loaded from arbitrary locations by defining
312
``BZR_PLUGINS_AT`` as a list of name@path separated by ':' (';' on
313
windows). This takes precedence over ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` for the
314
specified plugins. This is targeted at plugin developers for punctual
315
needs and *not* intended to replace ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH``.
316
(Vincent Ladeuil, #82693)
318
* Tag names can now be determined automatically by ``automatic_tag_name``
319
hooks on ``Branch`` if they are not specified on the command line.
322
* Tree-shape conflicts can be resolved by providing ``--take-this`` and
323
``--take-other`` to the ``bzr resolve`` command. Just marking the conflict
324
as resolved is still accessible via the ``--done`` default action.
327
* Merges can be proposed on Launchpad with the new lp-propose-merge command.
328
(Aaron Bentley, Jonathan Lange)
333
* Added docstring for ``Tree.iter_changes``
334
(John Arbash Meinel, #304182)
336
* Allow additional arguments to
337
``RemoteRepository.add_inventory_by_delta()``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #532631)
339
* Allow exporting a single file using ``bzr export``.
340
(Michal Junák, #511987)
342
* Allow syscalls to automatically restart when ``TextUIFactory``'s
343
SIGWINCH handler is invoked, avoiding ``EINTR`` errors during blocking
344
IO, which are often poorly handled by Python's libraries and parts of
345
bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
347
* Avoid infinite recursion when probing for apport.
348
(Vincent Ladeuil, #516934)
350
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
351
(Martin Pool, #331095)
353
* Avoid truncating svn URLs.
354
(Martin Pool, Martin von Gagern, #545185)
356
* ``bzr add`` will not add conflict related files unless explicitly required.
357
(Vincent Ladeuil, #322767, #414589)
359
* ``bzr dump-btree`` now works on ``*.cix`` and ``*.six`` files. Those
360
indices do not have reference lists, so ``dump-btree`` will simply show
361
``None`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts, #488607)
363
* ``bzr help`` will no longer trigger the get_missing_command hook when
364
doing a topic lookup. This avoids prompting (like 'no command plugins/loom,
365
did you mean log?') when getting help. In future we may trigger the hook
366
deliberately when no help topics match from any help index.
367
(Robert Collins, #396261)
369
* ``bzr log -n0 -r..A.B.C`` should not crash but just consider the None
370
revspec as representing the first revision of the branch.
371
(Vincent Ladeuil, #519862)
373
* ``bzr remove-tree`` can now remove multiple working trees.
374
(Jared Hance, Andrew Bennetts, #253137)
376
* ``bzr resolve --take-this`` and ``--take-other`` now correctly renames
377
the kept file on content conflicts where one side deleted the file.
378
(Vincent Ladeuil, #529968)
380
* ``bzr upgrade`` now creates the ``backup.bzr`` directory with the same
381
permissions as ``.bzr`` directory on a POSIX OS.
382
(Parth Malwankar, #262450)
384
* ``bzr upgrade`` now names backup directory as ``backup.bzr.~N~`` instead
385
of ``backup.bzr``. This directory is ignored by bzr commands such as
387
(Parth Malwankar, #335033, #300001)
389
* Cope with non-utf8 characters inside ``.bzrignore``.
390
(Jason Spashett, #183504)
392
* Correctly interpret "451 Rename/move failure: Directory not empty" from
393
ftp servers while trying to take a lock.
394
(Martin Pool, #528722)
396
* DirStateRevisionTree.kind() was returning wrong result when 'kind'
397
changes occured between the workingtree and one of its parents.
398
(Vincent Ladeuil, #535547)
400
* Fix ``log`` to better check ancestors even if merged revisions are involved.
401
(Vincent Ladeuil, #476293)
403
* Loading a plugin from a given path with ``BZR_PLUGINS_AT`` doesn't depend
404
on os.lisdir() order and is now reliable.
405
(Vincent Ladeuil, #552922).
407
* Many IO operations that returned ``EINTR`` were retried even if it
408
wasn't safe to do so via careless use of ``until_no_eintr``. Bazaar now
409
only retries operations that are safe to retry, and in some cases has
410
switched to operations that can be retried (e.g. ``sock.send`` rather than
412
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #496813)
414
* Path conflicts now support --take-this and --take-other even when a
415
deletion is involved.
416
(Vincent Ladeuil, #531967)
418
* Network transfer amounts and rates are now displayed in SI units according
419
to the Ubuntu Units Policy <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UnitsPolicy>.
420
(Gordon Tyler, #514399)
422
* Support kind markers for socket and fifo filesystem objects. This
423
prevents ``bzr status --short`` from crashing when those files are
424
present. (John Arbash Meinel, #303275)
426
* ``bzr mkdir DIR`` will not create DIR unless DIR's parent is a versioned
427
directory. (Parth Malwankar, #138600)
429
* SSH child processes will now ignore SIGQUIT on nix systems so breaking into
430
the debugger won't kill the session.
431
(Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #162502)
433
* Tolerate patches with leading noise in ``bzr-handle-patch``.
434
(Toshio Kuratomi, Martin Pool, #502076)
436
* ``update -r`` now supports updating to revisions that are not on
437
mainline (i.e. it supports dotted revisions).
438
(Parth Malwankar, #517800)
440
* Use first apparent author not committer in GNU Changelog format.
441
(Martin von Gagern, #513322)
446
* ``bzrlib.merge_directive._BaseMergeDirective`` has been renamed to
447
``bzrlib.merge_directive.BaseMergeDirective`` and is now public.
450
* ``BranchFormat.initialize`` now takes an optional ``name`` of the colocated
451
branch to create. (Jelmer Vernooij)
453
* ``BzrDir.get_branch_transport`` now takes an optional ``name`` of the
454
colocated branch to open. (Jelmer Vernooij)
456
* Added ``bzrlib.osutils.set_signal_handler``, a convenience function that
457
can set a signal handler and call ``signal.siginterrupt(signum,
458
False)`` for it, if the platform and Python version supports it.
459
(Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
461
* New ``bzrlib.initialize`` is recommended for programs using bzrlib to
462
run when starting up; it sets up several things that previously needed
463
to be done separately.
464
(Martin Pool, #507710)
466
* Exporters now support a ``per_file_timestamps`` argument to write out the
467
timestamp of the commit in which a file revision was introduced.
470
* New method ``BzrDir.list_branches()`` that returns a sequence of branches
471
present in a control directory. (Jelmer Vernooij)
473
* New method ``Repository.get_known_graph_ancestry()``.
474
(Jelmer Vernooij, #495502)
476
* New transport methods ``readlink``, ``symlink`` and ``hardlink``.
479
* Remove unused ``CommandFailed`` exception.
485
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` now accepts a
486
``message_callback`` in the same way that commit does. (Robert Collins)
488
* ``bzrlib.builtins.Commit.run`` raises ``bzrlib.errors.BoundBranchOutOfDate``
489
rather than ``bzrlib.errors.BzrCommandError`` when the bound branch is out
490
of date. (Gary van der Merwe)
492
* ``bzrlib.commands.run_bzr`` is more extensible: callers can supply the
493
functions to load or disable plugins if they wish to use a different
494
plugin mechanism; the --help, --version and no-command name code paths
495
now use the generic pluggable command lookup infrastructure.
498
* ``bzrlib.errors.BoundBranchOutOfDate`` has a new field ``extra_help``
499
which can be set to add extra help to the error. (Gary van der Merwe)
501
* New method ``Branch.automatic_tag_name`` that can be used to find the
502
tag name for a particular revision automatically. (Jelmer Vernooij)
504
* The methods ``BzrDir.create_branch()``, ``BzrDir.destroy_branch()`` and
505
``BzrDir.open_branch()`` now take an optional ``name`` argument.
511
* bzr now has a ``.testr.conf`` file in its source tree configured
512
appropriately for running tests with Testrepository
513
(``https://launchpad.net/testrepository``). (Robert Collins)
515
* Documentation about testing with ``subunit`` has been tweaked.
518
* Known failures has been added for resolve --take-other on ParentLoop
519
conflicts. This reflects bug #537956 without fixing it.
522
* New ``bzrlib.tests.test_import_tariff`` can make assertions about what
523
Python modules are loaded, to guard against startup time or library
524
dependency regressions.
527
* PQM will now run with subunit output. To analyze a PQM error use
528
tribunal, or cat log | subunit-filter | subunit2pyunit. (Robert Collins)
530
* Stop sending apport crash files to ``.cache`` in the directory from
531
which ``bzr selftest`` was run. (Martin Pool, #422350)
533
* Tests no longer fail if "close() called during concurrent
534
operation on the same file object" occurs when closing the log file
535
(which can happen if a thread tries to write to the log file at the
536
wrong moment). An warning will be written to ``stderr`` when this
537
happens, and another warning will be written if the log file could not
538
be closed after retrying 100 times. (Andrew Bennetts, #531746)
543
:2.1.2: NOT RELEASED YET
548
* ``bzr switch`` does not die if a ConfigurableFileMerger is used.
549
(Aaron Bentley, #559436)
551
* Fixed ``AssertionError`` when accessing smart servers running Bazaar
553
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
555
* Reset ``siginterrupt`` flag to False every time we handle a signal
556
installed with ``set_signal_handler(..., restart_syscall=True)`` (from
557
``bzrlib.osutils``. Reduces the likelihood of "Interrupted System Call"
558
errors after two window resizes.
564
* ``_remember_remote_is_before`` no longer raises AssertionError when
565
suboptimal network behaviour is noticed; instead it just mutters to the
566
log file (and warns the user if they have set the ``hpss`` debug flag).
567
This was causing unnecessary aborts for performance bugs that are minor
569
(Andrew Bennetts, #528041)
577
This is a small bugfix release. Upgrading is recommended for anyone
578
running 2.1.0 or earlier.
583
* Allow syscalls to automatically restart when ``TextUIFactory``'s
584
SIGWINCH handler is invoked, avoiding ``EINTR`` errors during blocking
585
IO, which are often poorly handled by Python's libraries and parts of
586
bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts, #496813)
588
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
589
(Martin Pool, #331095)
591
* Fix plugin packaging on Windows. (Ian Clatworthy, #524162)
593
* Fix stub sftp test server to call os.getcwdu().
594
(Vincent Ladeuil, #526221, #526353)
596
* Fixed CHM generation by moving the NEWS section template into
597
a separate file. (Ian Clatworthy, #524184)
599
* Merge correctly when this_tree is not a WorkingTree. (Aaron Bentley)
601
* Register SIGWINCH handler only when creating a ``TextUIFactory``; avoids
602
problems importing bzrlib from a non-main thread.
603
(Elliot Murphy, #521989)
605
* Repositories accessed via a smart server now reject being stacked on a
606
repository in an incompatible format, as is the case when accessing them
607
via other methods. This was causing fetches from those repositories via
608
a smart server (e.g. using ``bzr branch``) to receive invalid data.
609
(Andrew Bennetts, #562380)
611
* Standardize the error handling when creating a new ``StaticTuple``
612
(problems will raise TypeError). (Matt Nordhoff, #457979)
614
* Warn if pyrex is too old to compile the new ``SimpleSet`` and
615
``StaticTuple`` extensions, rather than having the build fail randomly.
616
(John Arbash Meinel, #449776)
621
* Added a link to the Desktop Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
623
* Added What's New in Bazaar 2.1 document. (Ian Clatworthy)
625
* Drop Google Analytics from the core docs as they caused problems
626
in the CHM files. (Ian Clatworthy, #502010)
631
* Added ``bzrlib.osutils.set_signal_handler``, a convenience function that
632
can set a signal handler and call ``signal.siginterrupt(signum,
633
False)`` for it, if the platform and Python version supports it.

:Codename: Strasbourg
643
This release marks our second long-term-stable series. The Bazaar team
644
has decided that we will continue to make bugfix-only 2.0.x and 2.1.x
645
releases, along with 2.2 development releases.
647
This is a fairly incremental update, focusing on polish and bugfixing.
648
There are no changes for supported disk formats. Key updates include
649
reduced memory consumption for many operations, a new per-file merge
650
hook, ignore patterns can now include '!' to exclude files, globbing
651
support for all commands on Windows, and support for addressing home
652
directories via ``bzr+ssh://host/~/`` syntax.
654
Users are encouraged to upgrade from the 2.0 stable series.
659
* Don't require testtools to use sftp.
660
(Vincent Ladeuil, #516183)
662
* Fix "AttributeError in Inter1and2Helper" during fetch.
663
(Martin Pool, #513432)
665
* ``bzr update`` performs the two merges in a more logical order and will stop
666
when it encounters conflicts.
667
(Gerard Krol, #113809)
669
* Give a better error message when doing ``bzr bind`` in an already bound
670
branch. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #513063)
672
* Ignore ``KeyError`` from ``remove_index`` during ``_abort_write_group``
673
in a pack repository, which can happen harmlessly if the abort occurs during
674
finishing the write group. Also use ``bzrlib.cleanup`` so that any
675
other errors that occur while aborting the individual packs won't be
676
hidden by secondary failures when removing the corresponding indices.
677
(Andrew Bennetts, #423015)
679
* Set the mtime of files exported to a directory by ``bzr export`` all to
680
the same value to avoid confusing ``make`` and other date-based build
681
systems. (Robert Collins, #515631)
686
* Fetching into experimental formats will now print a warning. (Jelmer
692
* ``Repository.deserialise_inventory`` has been renamed to
693
``Repository._deserialise_inventory`` to indicate it is private.
696
* ``Repository.get_inventory_xml`` has been renamed to
697
``Repository._get_inventory_xml`` to indicate it is private.
700
* ``Repository.serialise_inventory`` has been renamed to
701
``Repository._serialise_inventory`` to indicate it is private.
703
* Using the ``bzrlib.chk_map`` module from within multiple threads at the
704
same time was broken due to race conditions with a module level page
705
cache. This shows up as a KeyError in the ``bzrlib.lru_cache`` code with
706
``bzrlib.chk_map`` in the backtrace, and can be triggered without using
707
the same high level objects such as ``bzrlib.repository.Repository``
708
from different threads. chk_map now uses a thread local cache which may
709
increase memory pressure on processes using threads.
710
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #514090)
712
* The new ``merge_file_content`` should now be ok with tests to avoid
714
(Vincent Ladeuil, #515597)
719
* Use ``bzrlib.cleanup`` rather than less robust ``try``/``finally``
720
blocks in several places in ``bzrlib.merge``. This avoids masking prior
721
errors when errors like ``ImmortalPendingDeletion`` occur during cleanup
723
(Andrew Bennetts, #517275)
728
* The ``remove_index`` method of
729
``bzrlib.repofmt.pack_repo.AggregateIndex`` no longer takes a ``pack``
730
argument. This argument was always ignored.
731
(Andrew Bennetts, #423015)
736
:Codename: after the bubbles
737
:2.1.0rc2: 2010-01-29
739
This is a quick-turn-around to update a small issue with our new per-file
740
merge hook. We expect no major changes from this to the final 2.1.0.
745
* The new ``merge_file_content`` hook point has been altered to provide a
746
better API where state for extensions can be stored rather than the
747
too-simple function based approach. This fixes a performance regression
748
where branch configuration would be parsed per-file during merge. As
749
part of this the included news_merger has been refactored into a base
750
helper class ``bzrlib.merge.ConfigurableFileMerger``.
751

:Codename: the 'new' stable
758
:2.1.0rc1: 2009-01-21
760
This is the first stable release candidate for Bazaar's 2.1 series. From
761
this point onwards, the 2.1 series will be considered stable (as the 2.0
762
series) and only bugfixes are expected to be incorporated. The dozen or so
763
bugfixes in the 2.0.4 release are also included in this release (along
764
with more than 15 more bugfixes). Some of the interesting features are
765
support for per-file merge hooks, ``bzr unshelve --preview``, support
766
for using ! in ignore files to exclude files from being ignored, a small
767
memory leak was squashed, and many ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors were fixed.
768
This looks to be a very good start for a new stable series.
774
* Add bug information to log output when available.
775
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, Guillermo Gonzalez, #251729)
777
* Added ``merge_file_content`` hook point to ``Merger``, allowing plugins
778
to register custom merge logic, e.g. to provide smarter merging for
781
* Bazaar now includes the ``news_merge`` plugin. It is disabled by
782
default, to enable it add a ``news_merge_files`` option to your
783
configuration. Consult ``bzr help news_merge`` for more information.
786
* ``bzr branch`` now takes a ``--bind`` option. This lets you
787
branch and bind all in one command. (Ian Clatworthy)
789
* ``bzr switch`` now takes a ``--revision`` option, to allow switching to
790
a specific revision of a branch. (Daniel Watkins, #183559)
792
* ``bzr unshelve --preview`` can now be used to show how a patch on the
793
shelf would be applied to the working tree.
794
(Guilherme Salgado, #308122)
796
* ``bzr update`` now takes a ``--revision`` argument. This lets you
797
change the revision of the working tree to any revision in the
798
ancestry of the current or master branch. (Matthieu Moy, Mark Hammond,
801
* ``-Dbytes`` can now be used to display the total number of bytes
802
transferred for the current command. This information is always logged
803
to ``.bzr.log`` for later inspection. (John Arbash Meinel)
805
* New ignore patterns. Patterns prefixed with '!' are exceptions to
806
ignore patterns and take precedence over regular ignores. Such
807
exceptions are used to specify files that should be versioned which
808
would otherwise be ignored. Patterns prefixed with '!!' act as regular
809
ignore patterns, but have highest precedence, even over the '!'
810
exception patterns. (John Whitley, #428031)
812
* The ``supress_warnings`` configuration option has been introduced to disable
813
various warnings (it currently only supports the ``format_deprecation``
814
warning). The new option can be set in any of the following locations:
815
``bazaar.conf``, ``locations.conf`` and/or ``branch.conf``.
816
(Ted Gould, Matthew Fuller, Vincent Ladeuil)
821
* Always show a message if an OS error occurs while trying to run a
822
user-specified commit message editor.
823
(Martin Pool, #504842)
825
* ``bzr diff`` will now use the epoch when it is unable to determine
826
the timestamp of a file, if the revision it was introduced in is a
827
ghost. (Jelmer Vernooij, #295611)
829
* ``bzr switch -b`` can now create branches that are located using directory
830
services such as ``lp:``, even when the branch name doesn't contain a
831
'/'. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #495263)
833
* ``bzr unshelve`` has improved messages about what it is doing.
834
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #496917)
836
* Concurrent autopacking is more resilient to already-renamed pack files.
837
If we find that a file we are about to obsolete is already obsoleted, we
838
do not try to rename it, and we leave the file in ``obsolete_packs``.
839
The code is also fault tolerant if a file goes missing, assuming that
840
another process already removed the file.
841
(John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507557)
843
* Fix "Too many concurrent requests" in reconcile when network connection
844
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #503878)
846
* Fixed a side effect mutation of ``RemoteBzrDirFormat._network_name``
847
that caused some tests to fail when run in a non-default order.
848
Probably no user impact. (Martin Pool, #504102)
850
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` error in ``bzr cat -rbranch:../foo FILE``.
851
(Andrew Bennetts, #506274)
853
* FTP transports support Unicode paths by encoding/decoding them as utf8.
854
(Vincent Ladeuil, #472161)
856
* Listen to the SIGWINCH signal to update the terminal width.
857
(Vincent Ladeuil, #316357)
859
* Progress bars are now hidden when ``--quiet`` is given.
860
(Martin Pool, #320035)
862
* ``SilentUIFactory`` now supports ``make_output_stream`` and discards
863
whatever is written to it. This un-breaks some plugin tests that
864
depended on this behaviour.
865
(Martin Pool, #499757)
867
* When operations update the working tree, all affected files should end
868
up with the same mtime. (eg. when versioning a generated file, if you
869
update the source and the generated file together, the generated file
870
should appear up-to-date.)
871
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin <gzlist>, #488724)
876
* Added ``add_cleanup`` and ``cleanup_now`` to ``bzrlib.command.Command``.
877
All the builtin commands now use ``add_cleanup`` rather than
878
``try``/``finally`` blocks where applicable as it is simpler and more
879
robust. (Andrew Bennetts)
881
* All except a small number of storage formats are now hidden, making
882
the help for numerous commands far more digestible. (Ian Clatworthy)
884
* Attempts to open a shared repository as a branch (e.g. ``bzr branch
885
path/to/repo``) will now include "location is a repository" as a hint in
886
the error message. (Brian de Alwis, Andrew Bennetts, #440952)
888
* Push will now inform the user when they are trying to push to a foreign
889
VCS for which roundtripping is not supported, and will suggest them to
890
use dpush. (Jelmer Vernooij)
892
* The version of bzr being run is now written to the log file.
895
* Transport network activity indicator is shown more of the time when
896
Bazaar is doing network IO.
902
* Add documentation on creating merges with more than one parent.
903
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #481526)
905
* Better explain the --uncommitted option of merge.
906
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #505088)
908
* Improve discussion of pending merges in the documentation for
909
``revert``. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #505093)
911
* Improved help for ``bzr send``.
912
(Martin Pool, Bojan Nikolic)
914
* There is a System Administrator's Guide in ``doc/en/admin-guide``,
915
including discussions of installation, relevant plugins, security and
916
backup. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
918
* The ``conflicts`` help topic has been renamed to ``conflict-types``.
921
* The User Reference is now presented as a series of topics.
922
Many of the included topics have link and format tweaks applied.
928
* Added ``cachedproperty`` decorator to ``bzrlib.decorators``.
931
* Many test features were renamed from ``FooFeature`` to ``foo_feature``
932
to be consistent with instances being lower case and classes being
933
CamelCase. For the features that were more likely to be used, we added a
934
deprecation thunk, but not all. (John Arbash Meinel)
936
* Merger classes (such as ``Merge3Merger``) now expect a ``this_branch``
937
parameter in their constructors, and provide ``this_branch`` as an
938
attribute. (Andrew Bennetts)
940
* The Branch hooks pre_change_branch_tip no longer masks exceptions raised
941
by plugins - the original exceptions are now preserved. (Robert Collins)
943
* The Transport ``Server.tearDown`` method is now renamed to
944
``stop_server`` and ``setUp`` to ``start_server`` for consistency with
945
our normal naming pattern, and to avoid confusion with Python's
946
``TestCase.tearDown``. (Martin Pool)
948
* ``WorkingTree.update`` implementations must now accept a ``revision``
954
* Added ``BzrDir.open_branchV3`` smart server request, which can receive
955
a string of details (such as "location is a repository") as part of a
956
``nobranch`` response. (Andrew Bennetts, #440952)
958
* New helper osutils.UnicodeOrBytesToBytesWriter which encodes unicode
959
objects but passes str objects straight through. This is used for
960
selftest but may be useful for diff and other operations that generate
961
mixed output. (Robert Collins)
963
* New exception ``NoRoundtrippingSupport``, for use by foreign branch
964
plugins. (Jelmer Vernooij)
969
* ``bzrlib.tests.permute_for_extension`` is a helper that simplifies
970
running all tests in the current module, once against a pure python
971
implementation, and once against an extension (pyrex/C) implementation.
972
It can be used to dramatically simplify the implementation of
973
``load_tests``. (John Arbash Meinel)
975
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now subclasses ``testtools.testcase.TestCase``.
976
This permits features in testtools such as getUniqueInteger and
977
getUniqueString to be used. Because of this, testtools version 0.9.2 or
978
newer is now a dependency to run bzr selftest. Running with versions of
979
testtools less than 0.9.2 will cause bzr to error while loading the test
980
suite. (Robert Collins)
982
* Shell-like tests now support the command "mv" for moving files. The
983
syntax for ``mv file1 file2``, ``mv dir1 dir2`` and ``mv file dir`` is
984
supported. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
986
* The test progress bar no longer distinguishes tests that 'errored' from
987
tests that 'failed' - they're all just failures.
993
:2.0.6: NOT RELEASED YET
998
* Additional merges after an unrelated branch has been merged with its
999
history no longer crash when deleted files are involved.
1000
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel, #375898)
1002
* ``bzr revert`` now only takes write lock on working tree, instead of on
1003
both working tree and branch.
1004
(Danny van Heumen, #498409)
1006
* ``bzr upgrade`` now creates the ``backup.bzr`` directory with the same
1007
permissions as ``.bzr`` directory on a POSIX OS.
1008
(Parth Malwankar, #262450)
1010
* Repositories accessed via a smart server now reject being stacked on a
1011
repository in an incompatible format, as is the case when accessing them
1012
via other methods. This was causing fetches from those repositories via
1013
a smart server (e.g. using ``bzr branch``) to receive invalid data.
1014
(Andrew Bennetts, #562380)
1021
This fifth release in our 2.0 series addresses several user-inconvenience
1022
bugs. None are critical, but upgrading is recommended for all users on
1023
earlier 2.0 releases.
1028
* Avoid ``malloc(0)`` in ``patiencediff``, which is non-portable.
1029
(Martin Pool, #331095)
1031
* Concurrent autopacking is more resilient to already-renamed pack files.
1032
If we find that a file we are about to obsolete is already obsoleted, we
1033
do not try to rename it, and we leave the file in ``obsolete_packs``.
1034
The code is also fault tolerant if a file goes missing, assuming that
1035
another process already removed the file.
1036
(John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507557)
1038
* Cope with the lockdir ``held/info`` file being empty, which seems to
1039
happen fairly often if the process is suddenly interrupted while taking
1041
(Martin Pool, #185103)
1043
* Give the warning about potentially slow cross-format fetches much
1044
earlier on in the fetch operation. Don't show this message during
1045
upgrades, and show the correct format indication for remote
1047
(Martin Pool, #456077, #515356, #513157)
1049
* Handle renames correctly when there are files or directories that
1050
differ only in case. (Chris Jones, Martin Pool, #368931)
1052
* If ``bzr push --create-prefix`` triggers an unexpected ``NoSuchFile``
1053
error, report that error rather than failing with an unhelpful
1054
``UnboundLocalError``.
1055
(Andrew Bennetts, #423563)
1057
* Running ``bzr`` command without any arguments now shows bzr
1058
version number along with rest of the help text.
1059
(Parth Malwankar, #369501)
1061
* Use osutils.O_NOINHERIT for some files on win32 to avoid PermissionDenied
1063
(Inada Naoki, #524560)
1068
* Added ``location-alias`` help topic.
1069
(Andrew Bennetts, #337834)
1071
* Fixed CHM generation by moving the NEWS section template into
1072
a separate file. (Ian Clatworthy, #524184)
1078
:Codename: smooth sailing
1081
The fourth bugfix-only release in the 2.0 series contains more than a
1082
dozen bugfixes relative to 2.0.3. The primary focus is on handling
1083
interruptions and concurrent operations more cleanly, there is also a fair
1084
improvement to ``bzr export`` when exporting a remote branch.
1090
* ``bzr annotate`` on another branch with ``-r branch:...`` no longer
1091
fails with an ``ObjectNotLocked`` error. (Andrew Bennetts, #496590)
1093
* ``bzr export dir`` now requests all file content as a record stream,
1094
rather than requsting the file content one file-at-a-time. This can make
1095
exporting over the network significantly faster (54min => 9min in one
1096
case). (John Arbash Meinel, #343218)
1098
* ``bzr serve`` no longer slowly leaks memory. The compiled
1099
``bzrlib.bencode.Encoder()`` class was using ``__del__`` to cleanup and
1100
free resources, and it should have been using ``__dealloc__``.
1101
This will likely have an impact on any other process that is serving for
1102
an extended period of time. (John Arbash Meinel, #494406)
1104
* Check for SIGINT (Ctrl-C) and other signals immediately if ``readdir``
1105
returns ``EINTR`` by calling ``PyErr_CheckSignals``. This affected the
1106
optional ``_readdir_pyx`` extension. (Andrew Bennetts, #495023)
1108
* Concurrent autopacks will no longer lose a newly created pack file.
1109
There was a race condition, where if the reload happened at the right
1110
time, the second packer would forget the name of the newly added pack
1111
file. (John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #507566)
1113
* Give a clearer message if the lockdir disappears after being apparently
1114
successfully taken. (Martin Pool, #498378)
1116
* Give a warning when fetching between repositories (local or remote) with
1117
sufficiently different formats that the content will need to be
1118
serialized (ie ``InterDifferingSerializer`` or ``inventory-deltas``), so
1119
the user has a clue that upgrading could make it faster.
1120
(Martin Pool, #456077)
1122
* If we fail to open ``~/.bzr.log`` write a clear message to stderr rather
1123
than using ``warning()``. The log file is opened before logging is set
1124
up, and it leads to very confusing: 'no handlers for "bzr"' messages for
1125
users, rather than something nicer.
1126
(John Arbash Meinel, Barry Warsaw, #503886)
1128
* Refuse to build with any Pyrex 0.9.4 release, as they have known bugs.
1129
(Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel, #449372)
1131
* ``setup.py bdist_rpm`` now properly finds extra files needed for the
1132
build. (there is still the distutils bug
1133
http://bugs.python.org/issue644744) (Joe Julian, #175839)
1135
* The 2a format wasn't properly restarting autopacks when something
1136
changed underneath it (like another autopack). Now concurrent
1137
autopackers will properly succeed. (John Arbash Meinel, #495000)
1139
* ``TreeTransform`` can now handle when a delta says that the file id for
1140
the tree root changes. Rather than trying to rename your working
1141
directory, or failing early saying that you can't have multiple
1142
tree roots. This also fixes revert, update, and pull when the root id
1143
changes. (John Arbash Meinel, #494269, #504390)
1145
* ``_update_current_block`` no longer suppresses exceptions, so ^C at just
1146
the right time will get propagated, rather than silently failing to move
1147
the block pointer. (John Arbash Meinel, Gareth White, #495023)
1152
* We have a new ``test_source`` that ensures all pyrex ``cdef`` functions
1153
handle exceptions somehow. (Possibly by setting ``# cannot_raise``
1154
rather than an ``except ?:`` clause.) This should help prevent bugs like
1155
bug #495023. (John Arbash Meinel)

:2.1.0b4: 2009-12-14
1164
The fourth beta release in the 2.1 series brings with it a significant
1165
number of bugfixes (~20). The test suite is once again (finally) "green"
1166
on Windows, and should remain that way for future releases. There are a
1167
few performance related updates (faster upgrade and log), and several UI
1168
tweaks. There has also been a significant number of tweaks to the runtime
1169
documentation. 2.1.0b4 include everything from the 2.0.3 release.
1172
Compatibility Breaks
1173
********************
1175
* The BZR_SSH environmental variable may now be set to the path of a secure
1176
shell client. If currently set to the value ``ssh`` it will now guess the
1177
vendor of the program with that name, to restore the old behaviour that
1178
indicated the SSH Corporation client use ``sshcorp`` instead as the magic
1179
string. (Martin <gzlist@googlemail.com>, #176292)
1184
* ``bzr commit`` now has a ``--commit-time`` option.
1185
(Alexander Sack, #459276)
1187
* ``-Dhpss`` now increases logging done when run on the bzr server,
1188
similarly to how it works on the client. (John Arbash Meinel)
1190
* New option ``bzr unshelve --keep`` applies the changes and leaves them
1191
on the shelf. (Martin Pool, Oscar Fuentes, #492091)
1193
* The ``BZR_COLUMNS`` envrionment variable can be set to force bzr to
1194
respect a given terminal width. This can be useful when output is
1195
redirected or in obscure cases where the default value is not
1196
appropriate. Pagers can use it to get a better control of the line
1200
* The new command ``bzr lp-mirror`` will request that Launchpad update its
1201
mirror of a local branch. This command will only function if launchpadlib
1209
* After renaming a file, the dirstate could accidentally reference
1210
``source\\path`` rather than ``source/path`` on Windows. This might be a
1211
source of some dirstate-related failures. (John Arbash Meinel)
1213
* ``bzr commit`` now detects commit messages that looks like file names
1214
and issues a warning.
1215
(Gioele Barabucci, #73073)
1217
* ``bzr ignore /`` no longer causes an IndexError. (Gorden Tyler, #456036)
1219
* ``bzr log -n0 -rN`` should not return revisions beyond its merged revisions.
1220
(#325618, #484109, Marius Kruger)
1222
* ``bzr merge --weave`` and ``--lca`` will now create ``.BASE`` files for
1223
files with conflicts (similar to ``--merge3``). The contents of the file
1224
is a synthesis of all bases used for the merge.
1225
(John Arbash Meinel, #40412)
1227
* ``bzr mv --quiet`` really is quiet now. (Gordon Tyler, #271790)
1229
* ``bzr serve`` is more clear about the risk of supplying --allow-writes.
1230
(Robert Collins, #84659)
1232
* ``bzr serve --quiet`` really is quiet now. (Gordon Tyler, #252834)
1234
* Fix bug with redirected URLs over authenticated HTTP.
1235
(Glen Mailer, Neil Martinsen-Burrell, Vincent Ladeuil, #395714)
1237
* Interactive merge doesn't leave branch locks behind. (Aaron Bentley)
1239
* Lots of bugfixes for the test suite on Windows. We should once again
1240
have a test suite with no failures on Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
1242
* ``osutils.terminal_width()`` obeys the BZR_COLUMNS environment
1243
variable but returns None if the terminal is not a tty (when output is
1244
redirected for example). Also fixes its usage under OSes that doesn't
1245
provide termios.TIOCGWINSZ. Make sure the corresponding tests runs on
1247
(Joke de Buhr, Vincent Ladeuil, #353370, #62539)
1248
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #492561)
1250
* Terminate ssh subprocesses when no references to them remain, fixing
1251
subprocess and file descriptor leaks. (Andrew Bennetts, #426662)
1253
* The ``--hardlink`` option of ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr checkout`` now
1254
works for 2a format trees. Only files unaffected by content filters
1255
will be hardlinked. (Andrew Bennetts, #408193)
1257
* The new glob expansion on Windows would replace all ``\`` characters
1258
with ``/`` even if it there wasn't a glob to expand, the arg was quoted,
1259
etc. Now only change slashes if there is something being glob expanded.
1260
(John Arbash Meinel, #485771)
1262
* Use our faster ``KnownGraph.heads()`` functionality when computing the
1263
new rich-root heads. This can cut a conversion time in half (mysql from
1264
13.5h => 6.2h) (John Arbash Meinel, #487632)
1266
* When launching a external diff tool via bzr diff --using, temporary files
1267
are no longer created, rather, the path to the file in the working tree is
1268
passed to the external diff tool. This allows the file to be edited if the
1269
diff tool provides for this. (Gary van der Merwe, #490738)
1271
* The launchpad-open command can now be used from a subdirectory of a
1272
branch, not just from the root of the branch.
1273
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #489102)
1279
* ``bzr log`` is now faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
1281
* ``bzr update`` provides feedback on which branch it is up to date with.
1282
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1284
* ``bzr upgrade`` from pre-2a to 2a can be significantly faster (4x).
1285
For details see the xml8 patch and heads() improvements.
1286
(John Arbash Meinel)
1288
* ``bzrlib.urlutils.local_path_from_url`` now accepts
1289
'file://localhost/' as well as 'file:///' URLs on POSIX. (Michael
1292
* The progress bar now shows only a spinner and per-operation counts,
1293
not an overall progress bar. The previous bar was often not correlated
1294
with real overall operation progress, either because the operations take
1295
nonlinear time, or because at the start of the operation Bazaar couldn't
1296
estimate how much work there was to do. (Martin Pool)
1301
* Lots of documentation tweaks for inline help topics and command help
1307
* ``bzrlib.textui`` (vestigial module) removed. (Martin Pool)
1309
* The Launchpad plugin now has a function ``login`` which will log in to
1310
Launchpad with launchpadlib, and ``load_branch`` which will return the
1311
Launchpad Branch object corresponding to a given Bazaar Branch object.
1317
* New test Feature: ``ModuleAvailableFeature``. It is designed to make it
1318
easier to handle what tests you want to run based on what modules can be
1319
imported. (Rather than lots of custom-implemented features that were
1320
basically copy-and-pasted.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1322
* ``osutils.timer_func()`` can be used to get either ``time.time()`` or
1323
``time.clock()`` when you want to do performance timing.
1324
``time.time()`` is limited to 15ms resolution on Windows, but
1325
``time.clock()`` gives CPU and not wall-clock time on other platforms.
1326
(John Arbash Meinel)
1328
* Several code paths that were calling ``Transport.get().read()`` have
1329
been changed to the equalivent ``Transport.get_bytes()``. The main
1330
difference is that the latter will explicitly call ``file.close()``,
1331
rather than expecting the garbage collector to handle it. This helps
1332
with some race conditions on Windows during the test suite and sftp
1333
tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
1338
* TestCaseWithMemoryTransport no longer sets $HOME and $BZR_HOME to
1339
unicode strings. (Michael Hudson, #464174)
1345
:Codename: little italy
1349
The third stable release of Bazaar has a small handful of bugfixes. As
1350
expected, this has no internal or external compatibility changes versus
1356
* ``bzr push --use-existing-dir`` no longer crashes if the directory
1357
exists but contains an invalid ``.bzr`` directory.
1358
(Andrew Bennetts, #423563)
1360
* Content filters are now applied correctly after pull, merge and switch.
1361
(Ian Clatworthy, #385879)
1363
* Fix a potential segfault in the groupcompress hash map handling code.
1364
When inserting new entries, if the final hash bucket was empty, we could
1365
end up trying to access if ``(last_entry+1)->ptr == NULL``.
1366
(John Arbash Meinel, #490228)
1368
* Improve "Binary files differ" hunk handling. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)
1374
:Codename: after sprint recovery
1375
:2.1.0b3: 2009-11-16
1377
This release was pushed up from its normal release cycle due to a
1378
regression in python 2.4 compatibility in 2.1.0b2. Since this regression
1379
was caught before 2.1.0b2 was officially announced, the full changelog
1380
includes both 2.1.0b3 and 2.1.0b2 changes.
1382
Highlights of 2.1.0b3 are: new globbing code for all commands on Windows,
1383
the test suite now conforms to python's trunk enhanced semantics (skip,
1384
etc.), and ``bzr info -v`` will now report the correct branch and repo
1385
formats for Remote objects.
1391
* Users can define a shelve editor to provide shelf functionality at a
1392
granularity finer than per-patch-hunk. (Aaron Bentley)
1397
* Fix for shell completion and short options. (Benoît PIERRE)
1399
* Fix ``bzr --profile-imports`` with Python 2.6. (Martin Pool)
1401
* Hooks daughter classes should always call the base constructor.
1402
(Alexander Belchenko, Vincent Ladeuil, #389648)
1404
* Improve "Binary files differ" hunk handling. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)
1406
* On Windows, do glob expansion at the command-line level (as is usually
1407
done in bash, etc.) This means that *all* commands get glob expansion
1408
(bzr status, bzr add, bzr mv, etc). It uses a custom command line
1409
parser, which allows us to know if a given section was quoted. It means
1410
you can now do ``bzr ignore "*.py"``.
1411
(John Arbash Meinel, #425510, #426410, #194450)
1413
* Sanitize commit messages that come in from the '-m' flag. We translate
1414
'\r\n' => '\n' and a plain '\r' => '\n'. The storage layer doesn't
1415
allow those because XML store silently translate it anyway. (The parser
1416
auto-translates \r\n => \n in ways that are hard for us to catch.)
1418
* Show correct branch and repository format descriptions in
1419
``bzr info -v`` on a smart server location. (Andrew Bennetts, #196080)
1421
* The fix for bug #186920 accidentally broke compatibility with python
1422
2.4. (Vincent Ladeuil, #475585)
1424
* Using ``Repository.get_commit_builder().record_iter_changes()`` now
1425
correctly sets ``self.inv_sha1`` to a sha1 string and
1426
``self.new_inventory`` to an Inventory instance after calling
1427
``self.finish_inventory()``. (Previously it accidently set both values
1428
as a tuple on ``self.inv_sha1``. This was missed because
1429
``repo.add_revision`` ignores the supplied inventory sha1 and recomputes
1430
the sha1 from the repo directly. (John Arbash Meinel)
1432
* Shelve command refuse to run if there is no real terminal.
1433
(Alexander Belchenko)
1435
* Avoid unnecessarily flushing of trace file; it's now unbuffered at the
1436
Python level. (Martin Pool)
1441
* Include Japanese translations for documentation (Inada Naoki)
1443
* New API ``ui_factory.make_output_stream`` to be used for sending bulk
1444
(rather than user-interaction) data to stdout. This automatically
1445
coordinates with progress bars or other terminal activity, and can be
1447
(Martin Pool, 493944)
1452
* Some of the core groupcompress functionality now releases the GIL before
1453
operation. Similar to how zlib and bz2 operate without the GIL in the
1454
core compression and decompression routines. (John Arbash Meinel)
1459
* -Dhpssvfs will now trigger on ``RemoteBzrDir._ensure_real``, providing
1460
more debugging of VFS access triggers. (Robert Collins)
1462
* KnownFailure is now signalled to ``ExtendedTestResult`` using the same
1463
method that Python 2.7 uses - ``addExpectedFailure``. (Robert Collins)
1465
* ``--parallel=fork`` is now compatible with --subunit.
1466
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #419776)
1468
* Reporting of failures shows test ids not descriptions and thus shows
1469
parameterised tests correctly. (Robert Collins)
1471
* TestNotApplicable is now handled within the TestCase.run method rather
1472
than being looked for within ``ExtendedTestResult.addError``. This
1473
provides better handling with other ``TestResult`` objects, degrading to
1474
sucess rather than error. (Robert Collins)
1476
* The private method ``_testConcluded`` on ``ExtendedTestResult`` has been
1477
removed - it was empty and unused. (Robert Collins)
1479
* UnavailableFeature is now handled within the TestCase.run method rather
1480
than being looked for within addError. If the Result object does not
1481
have an addNotSupported method, addSkip is attempted instead, and
1482
failing that addSuccess. (Robert Collins)
1484
* When a TestResult does not have an addSkip method, skipped tests are now
1485
reported as successful tests, rather than as errors. This change is
1486
to make it possible to get a clean test run with a less capable
1487
TestResult. (Robert Collins)
1494
:Codename: a load off my mind
1495
:2.1.0b2: 2009-11-02
1497
This is our second feature-filled release since 2.0, pushing us down the
1498
path to a 2.1.0. Once again, all bugfixes in 2.0.2 are present in 2.1.0b2.
1500
Key highlights in this release are: improved handling of
1501
failures-during-cleanup for commit, fixing a long-standing bug with
1502
``bzr+http`` and shared repositories, all ``lp:`` urls to be resolved
1503
behind proxies, and a new StaticTuple datatype, allowing us to reduce
1504
memory consumption (50%) and garbage collector overhead (40% faster) for
1507
* A new ``--concurrency`` option has been added as well as an associated
1508
BZR_CONCURRENCY environment variable to specify the number of
1509
processes that can be run concurrently when running ``bzr selftest``. The
1510
command-line option overrides the environment variable if both are
1511
specified. If none is specified. the number of processes is obtained
1512
from the OS as before. (Matt Nordhoff, Vincent Ladeuil)
1517
* ``bzr+http`` servers no longer give spurious jail break errors when
1518
serving branches inside a shared repository. (Andrew Bennetts, #348308)
1520
* Errors during commit are handled more robustly so that knock-on errors
1521
are less likely to occur, and will not obscure the original error if
1522
they do occur. This fixes some causes of ``TooManyConcurrentRequests``
1523
and similar errors. (Andrew Bennetts, #429747, #243391)
1525
* Launchpad urls can now be resolved from behind proxies.
1526
(Gordon Tyler, Vincent Ladeuil, #186920)
1528
* Reduce the strictness for StaticTuple, instead add a debug flag
1529
``-Dstatic_tuple`` which will change apis to be strict and raise errors.
1530
This way, most users won't see failures, but developers can improve
1531
internals. (John Arbash Meinel, #471193)
1533
* TreeTransform.adjust_path updates the limbo paths of descendants of adjusted
1534
files. (Aaron Bentley)
1536
* Unicode paths are now handled correctly and consistently by the smart
1537
server. (Andrew Bennetts, Michael Hudson, #458762)
1542
* When reading index files, we now use a ``StaticTuple`` rather than a
1543
plain ``tuple`` object. This generally gives a 20% decrease in peak
1544
memory, and can give a performance boost up to 40% on large projects.
1545
(John Arbash Meinel)
1547
* Peak memory under certain operations has been reduced significantly.
1548
(eg, 'bzr branch launchpad standalone' is cut in half)
1549
(John Arbash Meinel)
1554
* Filtered views user documentation upgraded to refer to format 2a
1555
instead of pre-2.0 formats. (Ian Clatworthy)
1560
* Remove deprecated ``CLIUIFactory``. (Martin Pool)
1562
* ``UIFactory`` now has new ``show_error``, ``show_message`` and
1563
``show_warning`` methods, which can be hooked by non-text UIs.
1569
* Added ``bzrlib._simple_set_pyx``. This is a hybrid between a Set and a
1570
Dict (it only holds keys, but you can lookup the object located at a
1571
given key). It has significantly reduced memory consumption versus the
1572
builtin objects (1/2 the size of Set, 1/3rd the size of Dict). This is
1573
used as the interning structure for StaticTuple objects.
1574
(John Arbash Meinel)
1576
* ``bzrlib._static_tuple_c.StaticTuple`` is now available and used by
1577
the btree index parser and the chk map parser. This class functions
1578
similarly to ``tuple`` objects. However, it can only point to a limited
1579
collection of types. (Currently StaticTuple, str, unicode, None, bool,
1580
int, long, float, but not subclasses). This allows us to remove it from
1581
the garbage collector (it cannot be in a cycle), it also allows us to
1582
intern the objects. In testing, this can reduce peak memory by 20-40%,
1583
and significantly improve performance by removing objects from being
1584
inspected by the garbage collector. (John Arbash Meinel)
1586
* ``GroupCompressBlock._ensure_content()`` will now release the
1587
``zlib.decompressobj()`` when the first request is for all of the
1588
content. (Previously it would only be released if you made a request for
1589
part of the content, and then all of it later.) This turns out to be a
1590
significant memory savings, as a ``zstream`` carries around approx 260kB
1591
of internal state and buffers. (For branching bzr.dev this drops peak
1592
memory from 382MB => 345MB.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1594
* When streaming content between ``2a`` format repositories, we now clear
1595
caches from earlier versioned files. (So 'revisions' is cleared when we
1596
start reading 'inventories', etc.) This can have a significant impact on
1597
peak memory for initial copies (~200MB). (John Arbash Meinel)
1603
:Codename: after the scare
1606
The second in our "let's keep the stable bugfixes flowing" series. As
1607
expected this has a few (~9) bugfixes relative to 2.0.1, and no major api
1608
changes or features.
1613
* Avoid "NoneType has no attribute st_mode" error when files disappear
1614
from a directory while it's being read. (Martin Pool, #446033)
1616
* Content filters are now applied correctly after revert.
1619
* Diff parsing handles "Binary files differ" hunks. (Aaron Bentley, #436325)
1621
* Fetching from stacked pre-2a repository via a smart server no longer
1622
fails intermittently with "second push failed to complete".
1623
(Andrew Bennetts, #437626)
1625
* Fix typos left after test_selftest refactoring.
1626
(Vincent Ladeuil, Matt Nordhoff, #461149)
1628
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors during ``bzr log -r NNN somefile``.
1629
(Andrew Bennetts, #445171)
1631
* PreviewTree file names are not limited by the encoding of the temp
1632
directory's filesystem. (Aaron Bentley, #436794)
1637
* ``bzr log`` now read-locks branches exactly once, so makes better use of
1638
data caches. (Andrew Bennetts)
1643
* Filtered views user documentation upgraded to refer to format 2a
1644
instead of pre-2.0 formats. (Ian Clatworthy)
1650
:Codename: While the cat is away
1651
:2.1.0b1: 2009-10-14
1653
This is the first development release in the new split "stable" and
1654
"development" series. As such, the release is a snapshot of bzr.dev
1655
without creating a release candidate first. This release includes a
1656
fair amount of internal changes, with deprecated code being removed,
1657
and several new feature developments. People looking for a stable code
1658
base with only bugfixes should focus on the 2.0.1 release. All bugfixes
1659
present in 2.0.1 are present in 2.1.0b1.
1661
Highlights include support for ``bzr+ssh://host/~/homedir`` style urls,
1662
finer control over the plugin search path via extended BZR_PLUGIN_PATH
1663
syntax, visible warnings when extension modules fail to load, and improved
1664
error handling during unlocking.
1670
* Bazaar can now send mail through Apple OS X Mail.app.
1673
* ``bzr+ssh`` and ``bzr`` paths can now be relative to home directories
1674
specified in the URL. Paths starting with a path segment of ``~`` are
1675
relative to the home directory of the user running the server, and paths
1676
starting with ``~user`` are relative to the home directory of the named
1677
user. For example, for a user "bob" with a home directory of
1678
``/home/bob``, these URLs are all equivalent:
1680
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/~/repo``
1681
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/~bob/repo``
1682
* ``bzr+ssh://bob@host/home/bob/repo``
1684
If ``bzr serve`` was invoked with a ``--directory`` argument, then no
1685
home directories outside that directory will be accessible via this
1688
This is a feature of ``bzr serve``, so pre-2.1 clients will
1689
automatically benefit from this feature when ``bzr`` on the server is
1690
upgraded. (Andrew Bennetts, #109143)
1692
* Extensions can now be compiled if either Cython or Pyrex is available.
1693
Currently Pyrex is preferred, but that may change in the future.
1696
* Give more control on BZR_PLUGIN_PATH by providing a way to refer to or
1697
disable the user, site and core plugin directories.
1698
(Vincent Ladeuil, #412930, #316192, #145612)
1703
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
1704
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
1705
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
1706
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
1707
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
1708
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
1709
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
1711
* ``bzr add`` in a tree that has files with ``\r`` or ``\n`` in the
1712
filename will issue a warning and skip over those files.
1713
(Robert Collins, #3918)
1715
* ``bzr dpush`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
1716
are present in the working tree. The configuration option ``dpush_strict``
1717
can be used to set the default for this behavior.
1718
(Vincent Ladeuil, #438158)
1720
* ``bzr merge`` and ``bzr remove-tree`` now requires --force if pending
1721
merges are present in the working tree.
1722
(Vincent Ladeuil, #426344)
1724
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
1725
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
1727
* Don't give a warning on Windows when failing to import ``_readdir_pyx``
1728
as it is never built. (John Arbash Meinel, #430645)
1730
* Don't restrict the command name used to run the test suite.
1731
(Vincent Ladeuil, #419950)
1733
* ftp transports were built differently when the kerberos python module was
1734
present leading to obscure failures related to ASCII/BINARY modes.
1735
(Vincent Ladeuil, #443041)
1737
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
1738
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
1740
* PreviewTree behaves correctly when get_file_mtime is invoked on an unmodified
1741
file. (Aaron Bentley, #251532)
1743
* Registry objects should not use iteritems() when asked to use items().
1744
(Vincent Ladeuil, #430510)
1746
* Weave based repositories couldn't be cloned when committers were using
1747
domains or user ids embedding '.sig'. Now they can.
1748
(Matthew Fuller, Vincent Ladeuil, #430868)
1753
* Revision specifiers can now be given in a more DWIM form, without
1754
needing explicit prefixes for specifiers like tags or revision id's.
1755
See ``bzr help revisionspec`` for full details. (Matthew Fuller)
1757
* Bazaar gives a warning before exiting, and writes into ``.bzr.log``, if
1758
compiled extensions can't be loaded. This typically indicates a
1759
packaging or installation problem. In this case Bazaar will keep
1760
running using pure-Python versions, but this may be substantially
1761
slower. The warning can be disabled by setting
1762
``ignore_missing_extensions = True`` in ``bazaar.conf``.

(Martin Pool, #406113, #430529)
1766
* Secondary errors that occur during Branch.unlock and Repository.unlock
1767
no longer obscure the original error. These methods now use a new
1768
decorator, ``only_raises``. This fixes many causes of
1769
``TooManyConcurrentRequests`` and similar errors.
1770
(Andrew Bennetts, #429747)
1775
* Describe the new shell-like test feature. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1777
* Help on hooks no longer says 'Not deprecated' for hooks that are
1778
currently supported. (Ian Clatworthy, #422415)
1783
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` has been removed; use
1784
``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding`` instead. (Martin Pool)
1786
* ``bzrlib.tests`` now uses ``stopTestRun`` for its ``TestResult``
1787
subclasses - the same as python's unittest module. (Robert Collins)
1789
* ``diff._get_trees_to_diff`` has been renamed to
1790
``diff.get_trees_and_branches_to_diff``. It is now a public API, and it
1791
returns the old and new branches. (Gary van der Merwe)
1793
* ``bzrlib.trace.log_error``, ``error`` and ``info`` have been deprecated.
1796
* ``MutableTree.has_changes()`` does not require a tree parameter anymore. It
1797
now defaults to comparing to the basis tree. It now checks for pending
1798
merges too. ``Merger.check_basis`` has been deprecated and replaced by the
1799
corresponding has_changes() calls. ``Merge.compare_basis``,
1800
``Merger.file_revisions`` and ``Merger.ensure_revision_trees`` have also
1802
(Vincent Ladeuil, #440631)
1804
* ``ProgressTask.note`` is deprecated.
1810
* Added ``-Drelock`` debug flag. It will ``note`` a message every time a
1811
repository or branch object is unlocked then relocked the same way.
1814
* ``BTreeLeafParser.extract_key`` has been tweaked slightly to reduce
1815
mallocs while parsing the index (approx 3=>1 mallocs per key read).
1816
This results in a 10% speedup while reading an index.
1817
(John Arbash Meinel)
1819
* The ``bzrlib.lsprof`` module has a new class ``BzrProfiler`` which makes
1820
profiling in some situations like callbacks and generators easier.
1826
* Passing ``--lsprof-tests -v`` to bzr selftest will cause lsprof output to
1827
be output for every test. Note that this is very verbose! (Robert Collins)
1829
* Setting ``BZR_TEST_PDB=1`` when running selftest will cause a pdb
1830
post_mortem to be triggered when a test failure occurs. (Robert Collins)
1832
* Shell-like tests can now be written. Code in ``bzrlib/tests/script.py`` ,
1833
documentation in ``developers/testing.txt`` for details.
1836
* Some tests could end up with the same id, that was dormant for
1838
(Vincent Ladeuil, #442980)
1840
* Stop showing the number of tests due to missing features in the test
1841
progress bar. (Martin Pool)
1843
* Test parameterisation now does a shallow copy, not a deep copy of the test
1844
to be parameterised. This is not expected to break external use of test
1845
parameterisation, and is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
1847
* Tests that try to open a bzr dir on an arbitrary transport will now
1848
fail unless they have explicitly permitted the transport via
1849
``self.permit_url``. The standard test factories such as ``self.get_url``
1850
will permit the urls they provide automatically, so only exceptional
1851
tests should need to do this. (Robert Collins)
1853
* The break-in test no longer cares about clean shutdown of the child,
1854
instead it is happy if the debugger starts up. (Robert Collins)
1856
* The full test suite is expected to pass when the C extensions are not
1857
present. (Vincent Ladeuil, #430749)
1863
:Codename: Stability First
1866
The first of our new ongoing bugfix-only stable releases has arrived. It
1867
includes a collection of 12 bugfixes applied to bzr 2.0.0, but does not
1868
include any of the feature development in the 2.1.0 series.
1874
* ``bzr add`` in a tree that has files with ``\r`` or ``\n`` in the
1875
filename will issue a warning and skip over those files.
1876
(Robert Collins, #3918)
1878
* bzr will attempt to authenticate with SSH servers that support
1879
``keyboard-interactive`` auth but not ``password`` auth when using
1880
Paramiko. (Andrew Bennetts, #433846)
1882
* Fixed fetches from a stacked branch on a smart server that were failing
1883
with some combinations of remote and local formats. This was causing
1884
"unknown object type identifier 60" errors. (Andrew Bennetts, #427736)
1886
* Fixed ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when doing some log and diff operations
1887
on branches via a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #389413)
1889
* Handle things like ``bzr add foo`` and ``bzr rm foo`` when the tree is
1890
at the root of a drive. ``osutils._cicp_canonical_relpath`` always
1891
assumed that ``abspath()`` returned a path that did not have a trailing
1892
``/``, but that is not true when working at the root of the filesystem.
1893
(John Arbash Meinel, Jason Spashett, #322807)
1895
* Hide deprecation warnings for 'final' releases for python2.6.
1896
(John Arbash Meinel, #440062)
1898
* Improve the time for ``bzr log DIR`` for 2a format repositories.
1899
We had been using the same code path as for <2a formats, which required
1900
iterating over all objects in all revisions.
1901
(John Arbash Meinel, #374730)
1903
* Make sure that we unlock the tree if we fail to create a TreeTransform
1904
object when doing a merge, and there is limbo, or pending-deletions
1905
directory. (Gary van der Merwe, #427773)
1907
* Occasional IndexError on renamed files have been fixed. Operations that
1908
set a full inventory in the working tree will now go via the
1909
apply_inventory_delta code path which is simpler and easier to
1910
understand than dirstates set_state_from_inventory method. This may
1911
have a small performance impact on operations built on _write_inventory,
1912
but such operations are already doing full tree scans, so no radical
1913
performance change should be observed. (Robert Collins, #403322)
1915
* Retrieving file text or mtime from a _PreviewTree has good performance when
1916
there are many changes. (Aaron Bentley)
1918
* The CHK index pages now use an unlimited cache size. With a limited
1919
cache and a large project, the random access of chk pages could cause us
1920
to download the entire cix file many times.
1921
(John Arbash Meinel, #402623)
1923
* When a file kind becomes unversionable after being added, a sensible
1924
error will be shown instead of a traceback. (Robert Collins, #438569)
1929
* Improved README. (Ian Clatworthy)
1931
* Improved upgrade documentation for Launchpad branches.
1939
:Codename: Instant Karma
1941
This release of Bazaar makes the 2a (previously 'brisbane-core') format
1942
the default when new branches or repositories are created. This format is
1943
substantially smaller and faster for many operations. Most of the work in
1944
this release focuses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a and
1945
previous formats. (See the Upgrade Guide for information on migrating
1948
This release also improves the documentation content and presentation,
1949
including adding Windows HtmlHelp manuals.
1951
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
1952
with bugfix-only 2.0.x releases based on it, continuing for at least six
1953
months or until the following stable release.
1955
Changes from 2.0.0rc2 to final
1956
******************************
1958
* Officially branded as 2.0.0 rather than 2.0 to clarify between things
1959
that "want to happen on the 2.0.x stable series" versus things that want
1960
to "land in 2.0.0". (Changes how bzrlib._format_version_tuple() handles
1961
micro = 0.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1967
:2.0.0rc2: 2009-09-10
1972
* Added post_commit hook for mutable trees. This allows the keywords
1973
plugin to expand keywords on files changed by the commit.
1974
(Ian Clatworthy, #408841)
1979
* Bazaar's native protocol code now correctly handles EINTR, which most
1980
noticeably occurs if you break in to the debugger while connected to a
1981
bzr+ssh server. You can now can continue from the debugger (by typing
1982
'c') and the process continues. However, note that pressing C-\ in the
1983
shell may still kill the SSH process, which is bug 162509, so you must
1984
sent a signal to the bzr process specifically, for example by typing
1985
``kill -QUIT PID`` in another shell. (Martin Pool, #341535)
1987
* ``bzr check`` in pack-0.92, 1.6 and 1.9 format repositories will no
1988
longer report incorrect errors about ``Missing inventory ('TREE_ROOT', ...)``
1989
(Robert Collins, #416732)
1991
* ``bzr info -v`` on a 2a format still claimed that it was a "Development
1992
format" (John Arbash Meinel, #424392)
1994
* ``bzr log stacked-branch`` shows the full log including
1995
revisions that are in the fallback repository. (Regressed in 2.0rc1).
1996
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
1998
* Clearer message when Bazaar runs out of memory, instead of a ``MemoryError``
1999
traceback. (Martin Pool, #109115)
2001
* Conversion to 2a will create a single pack for all the new revisions (as
2002
long as it ran without interruption). This improves both ``bzr upgrade``
2003
and ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from local branches in older formats.
2004
The autopack logic that occurs every 100 revisions during local
2005
conversions was not returning that pack's identifier, which resulted in
2006
the partial packs created during the conversion not being consolidated
2007
at the end of the conversion process. (Robert Collins, #423818)
2009
* Fetches from 2a to 2a are now again requested in 'groupcompress' order.
2010
Groups that are seen as 'underutilized' will be repacked on-the-fly.
2011
This means that when the source is fully packed, there is minimal
2012
overhead during the fetch, but if the source is poorly packed the result
2013
is a fairly well packed repository (not as good as 'bzr pack' but
2014
good-enough.) (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #402652)
2016
* Fix a potential segmentation fault when doing 'log' of a branch that had
2017
ghosts in its mainline. (Evaluating None as a tuple is bad.)
2018
(John Arbash Meinel, #419241)
2020
* ``groupcompress`` sort order is now more stable, rather than relying on
2021
``topo_sort`` ordering. The implementation is now
2022
``KnownGraph.gc_sort``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2024
* Local data conversion will generate correct deltas. This is a critical
2025
bugfix vs 2.0rc1, and all 2.0rc1 users should upgrade to 2.0rc2 before
2026
converting repositories. (Robert Collins, #422849)
2028
* Network streams now decode adjacent records of the same type into a
2029
single stream, reducing layering churn. (Robert Collins)
2031
* Prevent some kinds of incomplete data from being committed to a 2a
2032
repository, such as revisions without inventories, a missing chk_bytes
2033
record for an inventory, or a missing text referenced by an inventory.
2034
(Andrew Bennetts, #423506, #406687)
2039
* Fix assertion error about "_remember_remote_is_before" when pushing to
2040
older smart servers.
2041
(Andrew Bennetts, #418931)
2043
* Help on hooks no longer says 'Not deprecated' for hooks that are
2044
currently supported. (Ian Clatworthy, #422415)
2046
* PDF and CHM (Windows HtmlHelp) formats are now supported for the
2047
user documentation. The HTML documentation is better broken up into
2048
topics. (Ian Clatworthy)
2050
* The developer and foreign language documents are now separated
2051
out so that searching in the HTML and CHM files produces more
2052
useful results. (Ian Clatworthy)
2054
* The main table of contents now provides links to the new Migration Docs
2055
and Plugins Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
2061
:Codename: no worries
2062
:2.0.0rc1: 2009-08-26
2064
Compatibility Breaks
2065
********************
2067
* The default format for bzr is now ``2a``. This format brings many
2068
significant performance and size improvements. bzr can pull from
2069
any existing repository into a ``2a`` one, but can only transfer
2070
from ``2a`` into ``rich-root`` repositories. The Upgrade guide
2071
has more information about this change. (Robert Collins)
2073
* On Windows auto-detection of Putty's plink.exe is disabled.
2074
Default SSH client for Windows is paramiko. User still can force
2075
usage of plink if explicitly set environment variable BZR_SSH=plink.
2076
(#414743, Alexander Belchenko)
2081
* ``bzr branch --switch`` can now switch the checkout in the current directory
2082
to the newly created branch. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2087
* Further tweaks to handling of ``bzr add`` messages about ignored files.
2088
(Jason Spashett, #76616)
2090
* Fetches were being requested in 'groupcompress' order, but weren't
2091
recombining the groups. Thus they would 'fragment' to get the correct
2092
order, but not 'recombine' to actually benefit from it. Until we get
2093
recombining to work, switching to 'unordered' fetches avoids the
2094
fragmentation. (John Arbash Meinel, #402645)
2096
* Fix a pycurl related test failure on karmic by recognizing an error
2097
raised by newer versions of pycurl.
2098
(Vincent Ladeuil, #306264)
2100
* Fix a test failure on karmic by making a locale test more robust.
2101
(Vincent Ladeuil, #413514)
2103
* Fix IndexError printing CannotBindAddress errors.
2104
(Martin Pool, #286871)
2106
* Fix "Revision ... not present" errors when upgrading stacked branches,
2107
or when doing fetches from a stacked source to a stacked target.
2108
(Andrew Bennetts, #399140)
2110
* ``bzr branch`` of 2a repositories over HTTP is much faster. bzr now
2111
batches together small fetches from 2a repositories, rather than
2112
fetching only a few hundred bytes at a time.
2113
(Andrew Bennetts, #402657)
2118
* A better description of the platform is shown in crash tracebacks, ``bzr
2119
--version`` and ``bzr selftest``.
2120
(Martin Pool, #409137)
2122
* bzr can now (again) capture crash data through the apport library,
2123
so that a single human-readable file can be attached to bug reports.
2124
This can be disabled by using ``-Dno_apport`` on the command line, or by
2125
putting ``no_apport`` into the ``debug_flags`` section of
2127
(Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #389328)
2129
* ``bzr push`` locally on windows will no longer give a locking error with
2130
dirstate based formats. (Robert Collins)
2132
* ``bzr shelve`` and ``bzr unshelve`` now work on windows.
2133
(Robert Collins, #305006)
2135
* Commit of specific files no longer prevents using the iter_changes
2136
codepath. On 2a repositories, commit of specific files should now be as
2137
fast, or slightly faster, than a full commit. (Robert Collins)
2139
* The internal core code that handles specific file operations like
2140
``bzr st FILENAME`` or ``bzr commit FILENAME`` has been changed to
2141
include the parent directories if they have altered, and when a
2142
directory stops being a directory its children are always included. This
2143
fixes a number of causes for ``InconsistentDelta`` errors, and permits
2144
faster commit of specific paths. (Robert Collins, #347649)
2149
* New developer documentation for content filtering.
2155
* ``bzrlib.shelf_ui`` has had the ``from_args`` convenience methods of its
2156
classes changed to manage lock lifetime of the trees they open in a way
2157
consistent with reader-exclusive locks. (Robert Collins, #305006)
2165
:Codename: nein nein nein!
2168
This release fixes two small but worthwhile bugs relevant to users on
2169
Microsoft Windows: some commands that failed on with locking errors will
2170
now work, and a bug that caused poor performance after committing a file
2171
with line-ending conversion has now been fixed. It also fixes a bug in
2172
pushing to older servers.
2177
* Fixed a problem where using content filtering and especially end-of-line
2178
conversion will commit too many copies a file.
2179
(Martin Pool, #415508)
2181
* Fix assertion error about ``_remember_remote_is_before`` in
2182
``set_tags_bytes`` when pushing to older smart servers.
2183
(Andrew Bennetts, Alexander Belchenko, #418931)
2188
* ``bzr push`` locally on Windows will no longer give a locking error with
2189
dirstate based formats. (Robert Collins)
2191
* ``bzr shelve`` and ``bzr unshelve`` now work on Windows.
2192
(Robert Collins, #305006)
2197
* ``bzrlib.shelf_ui`` has had the ``from_args`` convenience methods of its
2198
classes changed to manage lock lifetime of the trees they open in a way
2199
consistent with reader-exclusive locks. (Robert Collins, #305006)
2201
* ``Tree.path_content_summary`` may return a size of None, when called on
2202
a tree with content filtering where the size of the canonical form
2203
cannot be cheaply determined. (Martin Pool)
2205
* When manually creating transport servers in test cases, a new helper
2206
``TestCase.start_server`` that registers a cleanup and starts the server
2207
should be used. (Robert Collins)
2212
Compatibility Breaks
2213
********************
2215
* Committing directly to a stacked branch from a lightweight checkout will
2216
no longer work. In previous versions this would appear to work but would
2217
generate repositories with insufficient data to create deltas, leading
2218
to later errors when branching or reading from the repository.
2219
(Robert Collins, bug #375013)
2227
* Fetching from 2a branches from a version-2 bzr protocol would fail to
2228
copy the internal inventory pages from the CHK store. This cannot happen
2229
in normal use as all 2a compatible clients and servers support the
2230
version-3 protocol, but it does cause test suite failures when testing
2231
downlevel protocol behaviour. (Robert Collins)
2233
* Fix a test failure on karmic by making a locale test more robust.
2234
(Vincent Ladeuil, #413514)
2236
* Fixed "Pack ... already exists" error when running ``bzr pack`` on a
2237
fully packed 2a repository. (Andrew Bennetts, #382463)
2239
* Further tweaks to handling of ``bzr add`` messages about ignored files.
2240
(Jason Spashett, #76616)
2242
* Properly handle fetching into a stacked branch while converting the
2243
data, especially when there are also ghosts. The code was filling in
2244
parent inventories incorrectly, and also not handling when one of the
2245
parents was a ghost. (John Arbash Meinel, #402778, #412198)
2247
* ``RemoteStreamSource.get_stream_for_missing_keys`` will fetch CHK
2248
inventory pages when appropriate (by falling back to the vfs stream
2249
source). (Andrew Bennetts, #406686)
2251
* StreamSource generates rich roots from non-rich root sources correctly
2252
now. (Andrew Bennetts, #368921)
2254
* When deciding whether a repository was compatible for upgrading or
2255
fetching, we previously incorrectly checked the default repository
2256
format for the bzrdir format, rather than the format that was actually
2257
present on disk. (Martin Pool, #408824)
2262
* A better description of the platform is shown in crash tracebacks, ``bzr
2263
--version`` and ``bzr selftest``.
2264
(Martin Pool, #409137)
2266
* Cross-format fetches (such as between 1.9-rich-root and 2a) via the
2267
smart server are more efficient now. They send inventory deltas rather
2268
than full inventories. The smart server has two new requests,
2269
``Repository.get_stream_1.19`` and ``Repository.insert_stream_1.19`` to
2270
support this. (Andrew Bennetts, #374738, #385826)
2272
* Extracting the full ancestry and computing the ``merge_sort`` is now
2273
significantly faster. This effects things like ``bzr log -n0``. (For
2274
example, ``bzr log -r -10..-1 -n0 bzr.dev`` is 2.5s down to 1.0s.
2275
(John Arbash Meinel)
2286
* ``-Dstrict_locks`` can now be used to check that read and write locks
2287
are treated properly w.r.t. exclusivity. (We don't try to take an OS
2288
read lock on a file that we already have an OS write lock on.) This is
2289
now set by default for all tests, if you have a test which cannot be
2290
fixed, you can use ``self.thisFailsStrictLockCheck()`` as a
2291
compatibility knob. (John Arbash Meinel)
2293
* InterDifferingSerializer is now only used locally. Other fetches that
2294
would have used InterDifferingSerializer now use the more network
2295
friendly StreamSource, which now automatically does the same
2296
transformations as InterDifferingSerializer. (Andrew Bennetts)
2298
* ``KnownGraph`` now has a ``.topo_sort`` and ``.merge_sort`` member which
2299
are implemented in pyrex and significantly faster. This is exposed along
2300
with ``CombinedGraphIndex.find_ancestry()`` as
2301
``VersionedFiles.get_known_graph_ancestry(keys)``.
2302
(John Arbash Meinel)
2304
* RemoteBranch.open now honours ignore_fallbacks correctly on bzr-v2
2305
protocols. (Robert Collins)
2307
* The index code now has some specialized routines to extract the full
2308
ancestry of a key in a more efficient manner.
2309
``CombinedGraphIndex.find_ancestry()``. (Time to get ancestry for
2310
bzr.dev drops from 1.5s down to 300ms. For OOo from 33s => 10.5s) (John
2316
* Install the test ssl certificate and key so that installed bzr
2317
can run the https tests. (Denys Duchier, #392401)

:Codename: little traveller
2325
:1.18rc1: 2009-08-10
2327
This release of Bazaar marches on towards the 2.0 release in which the 2a
2328
'brisbane-core' format becomes generally recommended. Most of the work in
2329
this release now focusses on bug fixes and stabilization, covering both 2a
2330
and previous formats. There is a new text-mode interactive merge feature,
2331
a new guide to migration to 2a format in the user documentation, and
2332
pushing branches to a smart server is now much faster.
2334
The Bazaar team decided that 2.0 will be a long-term supported release,
2335
with bugfix-only releases based on it continuing for at least six months
2336
or until the following stable release.
2338
There are no changes from 1.18rc1 to 1.18.
2343
* ``bzr merge --interactive`` applies a user-selected portion of the
2344
merge. The UI is similar to ``shelve``. (Aaron Bentley)
2346
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now takes options ``--stacked-on URL`` and
2347
``--unstacked`` to change stacking of a branch.
2348
(Martin Pool, #391411)
2353
* Annotating on a stacked branch will now succeed in simple scenarios.
2354
There are still some complex scenarios where it will fail (bug #399884)
2355
(John Arbash Meinel, #393366)
2357
* A progress bar is no longer left dangling when ``bzr selftest``
2358
completes, and the progress bar updates with zero latency so the
2359
displayed test name is always the one that's actually running.
2360
(Martin Pool, #123688)
2362
* Authenticating against an ssh server now uses ``auth_none`` to determine
2363
if password authentication is even supported. This fixes a bug where
2364
users would be prompted for a launchpad password, even though launchpad
2365
only supports publickey authentication. (John Arbash Meinel, #375867)
2367
* BranchBuilder now accepts timezone to avoid test failures in countries far
2368
from GMT. (Vincent Ladeuil, #397716)
2370
* ``bzr commit`` no longer saves the unversioning of missing files until
2371
the commit has completed on the branch. This means that aborting a
2372
commit that found a missing file will leave the tree unedited.
2373
(Robert Collins, #282402)
2375
* ``bzr mv`` no longer takes out branch locks, which allows it to work
2376
when the branch is readonly. (Robert Collins, #216541)
2378
* ``bzr revert .`` no longer generates an InconsistentDelta error when
2379
there are missing subtrees. (Robert Collins, #367632)
2381
* ``bzr send`` now generates valid bundles with ``--2a`` formats. However,
2382
do to internal changes necessary to support this, older clients will
2383
fail when trying to insert them. For newer clients, the bundle can be
2384
used to apply the changes to any rich-root compatible format.
2385
(John Arbash Meinel, #393349)
2387
* Cope with FTP servers that don't support restart/append by falling back
2388
to reading and then rewriting the whole file, such as TahoeLAFS. (This
2389
fallback may be slow for some access patterns.) (Nils Durner, #294709)
2391
* Encode the paths in ``mbcs`` encoding on Windows when spawning an
2392
external diff client. This at least allows supporting filenames that are
2393
not ascii, but are present in the current locale. Ideally we would be
2394
able to pass the Unicode path, but that would be client dependent.
2395
(John Arbash Meinel, #382709)
2397
* Fix a compile bug on Solaris having to do with const and
2398
pointer-to-pointers. (John Arbash Meinel, #408441)
2400
* Fixed a NameError that occurs when merging or pulling from a URL that
2401
causes a redirection loop when bzr tries to read a URL as a bundle.
2402
(Andrew Bennetts, #400847)
2404
* Fix ``AttributeError: 'TestUIFactory' object has no attribute 'tick'``
2405
running send and similar commands on 2a formats.
2406
(Martin Pool, #408201)
2408
* Fix crash in some invocations of ``bzr status`` in format 2a.
2409
(Martin Pool, #403523)
2411
* Fixed export to existing directory: if directory is empty then export
2412
will succeed, otherwise it fails with error.
2413
(Alexander Belchenko, #406174)
2415
* Fixed spurious "Source branch does not support stacking" warning when
2416
pushing. (Andrew Bennetts, #388908)
2418
* Fixed spurious transport activity indicator appearing while tests are
2419
running. (Martin Pool, #343532)
2421
* Merge now correctly handles empty right-hand revision specs.
2422
(Aaron Bentley, #333961)
2424
* Renames to lexographically lower basenames in trees that have never been
2425
committed to will no longer corrupt the dirstate. This was caused by an
2426
bug in the dirstate update_minimal method. (Robert Collins, #395556)
2428
* Requests for unknown methods no longer cause the smart server to log
2429
lots of backtraces about ``UnknownSmartMethod``, ``do_chunk`` or
2430
``do_end``. (Andrew Bennetts, #338561)
2432
* Shelve will not shelve the initial add of the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
2434
* Streaming from bzr servers where there is a chain of stacked branches
2435
(A stacked on B stacked on C) will now work. (Robert Collins, #406597)
2437
* The environment variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` set to either ``text`` or ``none``
2438
always forces progress bars either on or off respectively. Otherwise,
2439
they're turned on if ``TERM`` is not ``dumb`` and stderr is a terminal.
2440
bzr always uses the 'text' user interface when run as a command, so
2441
``BZR_USE_TEXT_UI`` is no longer needed.
2442
(Martin Pool, #339385, #387717)
2444
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
2445
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
2446
repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)
2448
* The ``--hardlink`` option to ``branch`` and ``checkout`` is not
2449
supported at the moment on workingtree formats that can do content
2450
filtering. (See <https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/408193>.)
2451
bzr now says so, rather than just ignoring the option. (Martin Pool)
2453
* There was a bug in ``osutils.relpath`` that was only triggered on
2454
Windows. Essentially if you were at the root of a drive, and did
2455
something to a branch/repo on another drive, we would go into an
2456
infinite loop while trying to find a 'relative path'.
2457
(John Arbash Meinel, #394227)
2459
* ``WorkingTree4.unversion`` will no longer fail to unversion ids which
2460
were present in a parent tree but renamed in the working tree.
2461
(Robert Collins, #187207)
2466
* Can now rename/move files even if they have been removed from the inventory.
2469
* Pushing branches with tags via ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` is much
2470
faster, using a new ``Branch.set_tags_bytes`` smart server verb rather
2471
than VFS methods. For example, pushes of small branches with tags take
2472
11 rather than 18 smart server requests. (Andrew Bennetts, #398608)
2474
* Sending Ctrl-Break on Windows will now drop you into the debugger, in
2475
the same way that sending Ctrl-\\ does on other platforms.
2476
(John Arbash Meinel)
2481
* Added Bazaar 2.0 Upgrade Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
2486
* ``CLIUIFactory`` is deprecated; use ``TextUIFactory`` instead if you
2487
need to subclass or create a specific class, or better yet the existing
2488
``make_ui_for_terminal``. ``SilentUIFactory`` is clarified to do no
2489
user interaction at all, rather than trying to read from stdin but not
2490
writing any output, which would be strange if reading prompts or
2491
passwords. (Martin Pool)
2493
* New TransformPreview.commit() allows committing without a working tree.
2496
* ``pb`` parameter to ``TextTestResult`` is deprecated and ignored.
2499
* ProgressTasks now prefer to talk direct to their ProgressView not to the
2503
* ``WorkingTree._check`` now requires a references dict with keys matching
2504
those returned by ``WorkingTree._get_check_refs``. (Robert Collins)
2509
* ``CHKInventory.path2id`` uses the parent_id to basename hash to avoid
2510
reading the entries along the path, reducing work to lookup ids from
2511
paths. (Robert Collins)
2513
* ``CHKMap.apply_delta`` now raises ``InconsistentDelta`` if a delta adds
2514
as new a key which was already mapped. (Robert Collins)
2516
* Inventory delta application catches more cases of corruption and can
2517
prevent corrupt deltas from affecting consistency of data structures on
2518
disk. (Robert Collins)
2520
* --subunit support now adds timestamps if the subunit version supports
2521
it. (Robert Collins)
2523
* The Windows all-in-one installer now bundles the PyQt image format
2524
plugins, which allows previewing more images as part of 'qdiff'.
2525
(Alexander Belchenko)
2531
* Merge directive cherrypick tests must use the same root id.
2532
(Martin Pool, #409684)
2534
* Spurious failure in ``check`` tests on rich-root formats fixed.
2535
(Martin Pool, #408199)
2537
* The ``bzrlib.tests.TextTestRunner`` will no longer call
2538
``countTestsCases`` on the test being run. Progress information is
2539
instead handled by having the test passed in call ``result.progress``
2540
before running its contents. This improves the behaviour when using
2541
``TextTestRunner`` with test suites that don't support
2542
``countTestsCases``. (Robert Collins)
2545
bzr 1.17.1 (unreleased)
2546
#######################
2551
* The optional ``_knit_load_data_pyx`` C extension was never being
2552
imported. This caused significant slowdowns when reading data from
2553
knit format repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, #405653)
2558
:Codename: so-late-its-brunch
2559
:1.17rc1: 2009-07-13
2563
Bazaar continues to blaze a straight and shining path to the 2.0 release and
2564
the elevation of the ``2a`` beta format to the full glory of "supported and
2567
Highlights in this release include greatly reduced memory consumption during
2568
commits, faster ``ls``, faster ``annotate``, faster network operations if
2569
you're specifying a revision number and the final destruction of those
2570
annoying progress bar artifacts.
2573
Changes from 1.17rc1 to 1.17final
2574
*********************************
2576
* Change an extension to call the python ``frozenset()`` rather than the C
2577
api ``PyFrozenSet_New``. It turns out that python2.4 did not expose the
2578
C api. (John Arbash Meinel, #399366)
2580
* Fixes for the Makefile and the rename of ``generate_docs.py`` to
2581
``tools/generate_docs.py`` to allow everything to be built on Windows.
2582
(John Arbash Meinel, #399356)
2584
* ``bzr serve`` once again applies a ``ChrootServer`` to the given
2585
directory before serving it. (Andrew Bennetts, #400535)
2588
Compatibility Breaks
2589
********************
2591
* ``bzr register-branch`` from the Launchpad plugin now refers to "project"
2592
instead of "product" which is the correct Launchpad terminology. The
2593
--product option is deprecated and users should switch to using --project.
2594
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #238764)
2600
* ``bzr push`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
2601
are present in the working tree (if one is present) and no revision is
2602
specified. The configuration option ``push_strict`` can be used to set the
2603
default for this behavior. (Vincent Ladeuil, #284038, #322808, #65286)
2605
* ``bzr revno`` and ``bzr revision-info`` now have a ``--tree`` option to
2606
show revision info for the working tree instead of the branch.
2607
(Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
2609
* ``bzr send`` now aborts if uncommitted changes (including pending merges)
2610
are present in the working tree and no revision is specified. The
2611
configuration option ``send_strict`` can be used to set the default for this
2613
(Vincent Ladeuil, #206577)
2615
* ``bzr switch --create-branch/-b`` can now be used to create and switch
2616
to a new branch. Supplying a name without a ``/`` will create the branch
2617
relative to the existing branch. (similar to how ``bzr switch name``
2618
works when the branch already exists.) (John Arbash Meinel)
2624
* Accept uppercase "Y/N" to prompts such as from break lock.
2625
(#335182, Tim Powell, Martin Pool)
2627
* Add documentation about diverged branches and how to fix them in the
2628
centralized workflow with local commits. Mention ``bzr help
2629
diverged-branches`` when a push fails because the branches have
2630
diverged. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #269477)
2632
* Annotate would sometimes 'latch on' to trivial lines, causing important
2633
lines to be incorrectly annotated. (John Arbash Meinel, #387952)
2635
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
2636
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
2637
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
2639
* Avoid progress bar artifacts being left behind on the screen.
2640
(Martin Pool, #321935)
2642
* Better message in ``bzr split`` error suggesting a rich root format.
2643
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #220067)
2645
* ``Branch.set_append_revisions_only`` now works with branches on a smart
2646
server. (Andrew Bennetts, #365865)
2648
* By default, ``bzr branch`` will fail if the target directory exists, but
2649
does not already have a control directory. The flag ``--use-existing-dir``
2650
will allow operation to proceed. (Alexander Belchenko, #307554)
2652
* ``bzr ls DIR --from-root`` now shows only things in DIR, not everything.
2655
* Fetch between repositories does not error if they have inconsistent data
2656
that should be irrelevant to the fetch operation. (Aaron Bentley)
2658
* Fix ``AttributeError`` exception when reconfiguring lightweight checkout
2659
of a remote repository.
2660
(Jelmer Vernooij, #332194)
2662
* Fix bug in decoding v3 smart server messages when receiving multiple
2663
lots of excess bytes after an end-of-message.
2666
* Force deletion of readonly files during merge, update and other tree
2668
(Craig Hewetson, Martin Pool, #218206)
2670
* Force socket shutdown in threaded http test servers to avoid client hangs
2671
(pycurl). (Vincent Ladeuil, #383920).
2673
* ``LRUCache`` will maintain the linked list pointers even if a nodes
2674
cleanup function raises an exception. (John Arbash Meinel, #396838)
2676
* Progress bars are now suppressed again when the environment variable
2677
``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR`` is set to ``none``.
2678
(Martin Pool, #339385)
2680
* Reduced memory consumption during ``bzr commit`` of large files. For
2681
pre 2a formats, should be down to ~3x the size of a file.
2682
For ``--2a`` format repositories, it is down to the size of the file
2683
content plus the size of the compressed text. Related to bug #109114.
2684
(John Arbash Meinel)
2686
* Set hidden attribute on .bzr directory below unicode path should never
2687
fail with error. The operation should succeed even if bzr unable to set
2688
the attribute. (Alexander Belchenko, related to bug #335362).
2690
* Stacking will no longer accept requests to stack on the same
2691
branch/repository. Existing branches that incorrectly reference the same
2692
repository in a stacking configuration will now raise
2693
UnstackableLocationError when the branch is opened. This can be fixed by
2694
removing the stacking location inside ``.bzr/branch``.
2695
(Robert Collins, #376243)
2697
* The ``log+`` decorator, useful in debugging or profiling, could cause
2698
"AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'next'". This is now
2699
fixed. The log decorator no longer shows the elapsed time or transfer
2700
rate because they're available in the log prefixes and the transport
2701
activity display respectively.
2702
(Martin Pool, #340347)
2704
* Unshelve works correctly when multiple zero-length files are present on
2705
the shelf. (Aaron Bentley, #363444)
2707
* Progress bars no longer show the network transport scheme or direction.
2710
* launchpad-login now respects the 'verbose' option.
2711
(Jonathan Lange, #217031)
2717
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is now officially deprecated. It is not
2718
possible to write a deprecation wrapper, but the variable will be
2719
removed in the near future. Use ``bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding()``
2720
instead. (Alexander Belchenko)
2722
* Command lookup has had hooks added. ``bzrlib.Command.hooks`` has
2723
three new hook points: ``get_command``, ``get_missing_command`` and
2724
``list_commands``, which allow just-in-time command name provision
2725
rather than requiring all command names be known a-priori.
2728
* ``get_app_path`` from win32utils.py now supports REG_EXPAND_SZ data type
2729
and can read path to wordpad.exe. (Alexander Belchenko, #392046)
2731
* ``graph.KnownGraph`` has been added. This is a class that can give
2732
answers to ``heads()`` very quickly. However, it has the assumption that
2733
the whole graph has already been loaded. This is true during
2734
``annotate`` so it is used there with good success (as much as 2x faster
2735
for files with long ancestry and 'cherrypicked' changes.)
2736
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
2738
* OS file locks are now taken out using ``CreateFile`` rather than
2739
``LockFileEx`` on Windows. The locking remains exclusive with
2740
``LockFileEx`` but now it also works on older versions of Windows (such
2741
as Win98). (Martin <gzlist>)
2743
* pack <=> pack fetching is now done via a ``PackStreamSource`` rather
2744
than the ``Packer`` code. The user visible change is that we now
2745
properly fetch the minimum number of texts for non-smart fetching.
2746
(John Arbash Meinel)
2749
* ``VersionedFiles._add_text`` is a new api that lets us insert text into
2750
the repository as a single string, rather than a list of lines. This can
2751
improve memory overhead and performance of committing large files.
2752
(Currently a private api, used only by commit). (John Arbash Meinel)
2758
* ``bzr annotate`` can now be significantly faster. The time for
2759
``bzr annotate NEWS`` is down to 7s from 22s in 1.16. Files with long
2760
histories and lots of 'duplicate insertions' will be improved more than
2761
others. (John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
2763
* ``bzr ls`` is now faster. On OpenOffice.org, the time drops from 2.4
2764
to 1.1 seconds. The improvement for ``bzr ls -r-1`` is more
2765
substantial dropping from 54.3 to 1.1 seconds. (Ian Clatworthy)
2767
* Improve "Path(s) are not versioned" error reporting for some commands.
2770
* Initial commit performance in ``--2a`` repositories has been improved by
2771
making it cheaper to build the initial CHKMap. (John Arbash Meinel)
2773
* Resolving a revno to a revision id on a branch accessed via ``bzr://``
2774
or ``bzr+ssh://`` is now much faster and involves no VFS operations.
2775
This speeds up commands like ``bzr pull -r 123``. (Andrew Bennetts)
2777
* ``revision-info`` now properly aligns the revnos/revids in the output
2778
and doesn't traceback when given revisions not in the current branch.
2779
Performance is also significantly improved when requesting multiple revs
2780
at once. (Matthew Fuller, John Arbash Meinel)
2782
* Tildes are no longer escaped by Transports. (Andy Kilner)
2788
* Avoid bad text wrapping in generated documentation. Slightly better
2789
formatting in the user reference.
2790
(Martin Pool, #249908)
2792
* Minor clarifications to the help for End-Of-Line conversions.
2798
* Removed overspecific error class ``InvalidProgressBarType``.
2801
* The method ``ProgressView._show_transport_activity`` is now
2802
``show_transport_activity`` because it's part of the contract between
2803
this class and the UI. (Martin Pool)
2809
:Released: 2009-06-26
2811
End user testing of the 2a format revealed two serious bugs. The first,
2812
#365615, caused bzr to raise AbsentContentFactory errors when autopacking.
2813
This meant that commits or pushes to 2a-format repositories failed
2816
The second bug, #390563, caused the smart server to raise AbsentContentFactory
2817
when streaming 2a stacked 2a-format branches. This particularly affected
2818
branches stored on Launchpad in the 2a format.
2820
Both of these bugs cause command failures only, neither of them cause data
2821
corruption or data loss. And, of course, both of these bugs are now fixed.
2826
* We now properly request a more minimal set of file texts when fetching
2827
multiple revisions. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
2829
* Repositories using CHK pages (which includes the new 2a format) will no
2830
longer error during commit or push operations when an autopack operation
2831
is triggered. (Robert Collins, #365615)
2833
* ``chk_map.iter_interesting_nodes`` now properly uses the *intersection*
2834
of referenced nodes rather than the *union* to determine what
2835
uninteresting pages we still need to look at. Prior to this,
2836
incrementally pushing to stacked branch would push the minimal data, but
2837
fetching everything would request extra texts. There are some unhandled
2838
cases wrt trees of different depths, but this fixes the common cases.
2839
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, #390563)
2841
* ``GroupCompress`` repositories now take advantage of the pack hints
2842
parameter to permit cross-format fetching to incrementally pack the
2843
converted data. (Robert Collins)
2845
* ``Repository.commit_write_group`` now returns opaque data about what
2846
was committed, for passing to the ``Repository.pack``. Repositories
2847
without atomic commits will still return None. (Robert Collins)
2849
* ``Repository.pack`` now takes an optional ``hint`` parameter
2850
which will support doing partial packs for repositories that can do
2851
that. (Robert Collins)
2853
* RepositoryFormat has a new attribute 'pack_compresses' which is True
2854
when doing a pack operation changes the compression of content in the
2855
repository. (Robert Collins)
2857
* ``StreamSink`` and ``InterDifferingSerialiser`` will call
2858
``Repository.pack`` with the hint returned by
2859
``Repository.commit_write_group`` if the formats were different and the
2860
repository can increase compression by doing a pack operation.

This version of Bazaar contains the beta release of the new ``2a`` repository
2871
format, suitable for testing by fearless, advanced users. This format or an
2872
updated version of it will become the default format in Bazaar 2.0. Please
2873
read the NEWS entry before even thinking about upgrading to the new format.
2875
Also included are speedups for many operations on huge projects, a bug fix for
2876
pushing stacked new stacked branches to smart servers and the usual bevy of

bug fixes and improvements.
2880
Changes from 1.16rc1 to 1.16final
2881
*********************************
2883
* Fix the nested tree flag check so that upgrade from development formats to
2884
2a can work correctly.
2885
(Jelmer Vernooij, #388727)
2887
* Automatic format upgrades triggered by default stacking policies on a
2888
1.16rc1 (or later) smart server work again.
2889
(Andrew Bennetts, #388675)
2892
Compatibility Breaks
2893
********************
2895
* Display prompt on stderr (instead of stdout) when querying users so
2896
that the output of commands can be safely redirected.
2897
(Vincent Ladeuil, #376582)
2903
* A new repository format ``2a`` has been added. This is a beta release
2904
of the brisbane-core (aka group-compress) project. This format now
2905
suitable for wider testing by advanced users willing to deal with some
2906
bugs. We would appreciate test reports, either positive or negative.
2907
Format 2a is substantially smaller and faster for many operations on
2908
many trees. This format or an updated version will become the default
2911
This is a rich-root format, so this repository format can be used with
2912
bzr-svn. Bazaar branches in previous non-rich-root formats can be
2913
converted (including by merge, push and pull) to format 2a, but not vice
2914
versa. We recommend upgrading previous development formats to 2a.
2916
Upgrading to this format can take considerable time because it expands
2917
and more concisely repacks the full history.
2919
If you use stacked branches, you must upgrade the stacked branches
2920
before the stacked-on branches. (See <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/374735>)
2922
* ``--development7-rich-root`` is a new dev format, similar to ``--dev6``
2923
but using a Revision serializer using bencode rather than XML.
2924
(Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
2926
* mail_client=claws now supports --body (and message body hooks). Also uses
2927
configured from address. (Barry Warsaw)
2933
* ``--development6-rich-root`` can now stack. (Modulo some smart-server
2934
bugs with stacking and non default formats.)
2935
(John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
2937
* ``--development6-rich-root`` delays generating a delta index for the
2938
first object inserted into a group. This has a beneficial impact on
2939
``bzr commit`` since each committed texts goes to its own group. For
2940
committing a 90MB file, it drops peak memory by about 200MB, and speeds
2941
up commit from 7s => 4s. (John Arbash Meinel)
2943
* Numerous operations are now faster for huge projects, i.e. those
2944
with a large number of files and/or a large number of revisions,
2945
particularly when the latest development format is used. These
2946
operations (and improvements on OpenOffice.org) include:
2948
* branch in a shared repository (2X faster)
2949
* branch --no-tree (100X faster)
2955
* Pyrex version of ``bencode`` support. This provides optimized support
2956
for both encoding and decoding, and is now found at ``bzrlib.bencode``.
2957
``bzrlib.utils.bencode`` is now deprecated.
2958
(Alexander Belchenko, Jelmer Vernooij, John Arbash Meinel)
2964
* Bazaar can now pass attachment files to the mutt email client.
2965
(Edwin Grubbs, #384158)
2967
* Better message in ``bzr add`` output suggesting using ``bzr ignored`` to
2968
see which files can also be added. (Jason Spashett, #76616)
2970
* ``bzr pull -r 123`` from a stacked branch on a smart server no longer fails.
2971
Also, the ``Branch.revision_history()`` API now works in the same
2972
situation. (Andrew Bennetts, #380314)
2974
* ``bzr serve`` on Windows no longer displays a traceback simply because a
2975
TCP client disconnected. (Andrew Bennetts)
2977
* Clarify the rules for locking and fallback repositories. Fix bugs in how
2978
``RemoteRepository`` was handling fallbacks along with the
2979
``_real_repository``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #375496)
2981
* Fix a small bug with fetching revisions w/ ghosts into a new stacked
2982
branch. Not often triggered, because it required ghosts to be part of
2983
the fetched revisions, not in the stacked-on ancestry.
2984
(John Arbash Meinel)
2986
* Fix status and commit to work with content filtered trees, addressing
2987
numerous bad bugs with line-ending support. (Ian Clatworthy, #362030)
2989
* Fix problem of "directory not empty" when contending for a lock over
2990
sftp. (Martin Pool, #340352)
2992
* Fix rule handling so that eol is optional, not mandatory.
2993
(Ian Clatworthy, #379370)
2995
* Pushing a new stacked branch to a 1.15 smart server was broken due to a
2996
bug in the ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` smart verb. This is fixed in
2997
1.16, but required changes to the network protocol, so the
2998
``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` verb has been removed and replaced with a
2999
corrected ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex_1.16`` verb. 1.15 clients will
3000
still work with a 1.16 server as they will fallback to slower (and
3002
(Jonathan Lange, Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts, #385132)
3004
* Reconcile can now deal with text revisions that originated in revisions
3005
that are ghosts. (Jelmer Vernooij, #336749)
3007
* Support cloning of branches with ghosts in the left hand side history.
3008
(Jelmer Vernooij, #248540)
3010
* The ''bzr diff'' now catches OSError from osutils.rmtree and logs a
3011
helpful message to the trace file, unless the temp directory really was
3012
removed (which would be very strange). Since the diff operation has
3013
succeeded from the user's perspective, no output is written to stderr
3014
or stdout. (Maritza Mendez, #363837)
3016
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
3017
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
3018
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
3019
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)
3024
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in Russian.
3025
(Alexey Shtokalo, Alexander Iljin, Alexander Belchenko, Dmitry Vasiliev,
3026
Volodymyr Kotulskyi)
3031
* Added osutils.parent_directories(). (Ian Clatworthy)
3033
* ``bzrlib.progress.ProgressBar``, ``ChildProgress``, ``DotsProgressBar``,
3034
``TTYProgressBar`` and ``child_progress`` are now deprecated; use
3035
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` instead. (Martin Pool)
3037
* ``graph.StackedParentsProvider`` is now a public API, replacing
3038
``graph._StackedParentsProvider``. The api is now considered stable and ready
3039
for external users. (Gary van der Merwe)
3041
* ``bzrlib.user_encoding`` is deprecated in favor of
3042
``get_user_encoding``. (Alexander Belchenko)
3044
* TreeTransformBase no longer assumes that limbo is provided via disk.
3045
DiskTreeTransform now provides disk functionality. (Aaron Bentley)
3050
* Remove ``weave.py`` script for accessing internals of old weave-format
3051
repositories. (Martin Pool)
3056
* ``make check`` no longer repeats the test run in ``LANG=C``.
3057
(Martin Pool, #386180)
3059
* The number of cores is now correctly detected on OSX. (John Szakmeister)
3061
* The number of cores is also detected on Solaris and win32. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3063
* The number of cores is also detected on FreeBSD. (Matthew Fuller)
3068
:1.15rc1: 2009-05-16
3072
The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming content
3073
with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search. New command ``bzr
3074
dpush``. Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two
3075
revisions introduce the exact same line.
3077
Changes from 1.15.1 to 1.15.2
3078
*****************************
3080
* Use zdll on Windows to build ``_chk_map_pyx`` extension.
3081
(Alexander Belchenko)
3083
Changes from 1.15final to 1.15.1
3084
*********************************
3086
* Translate errors received from a smart server in response to a
3087
``BzrDirFormat.initialize`` or ``BzrDirFormat.initialize_ex`` request.
3088
This was causing tracebacks even for mundane errors like
3089
``PermissionDenied``. (Andrew Bennetts, #381329)
3091
Changes from 1.15rc1 to 1.15final
3092
*********************************
3096
Compatibility Breaks
3097
********************
3099
* ``bzr ls`` is no longer recursive by default. To recurse, use the
3100
new ``-R`` option. The old ``--non-recursive`` option has been removed.
3101
If you alias ``ls`` to ``ls -R``, you can disable recursion using
3102
``--no-recursive`` instead. (Ian Clatworthy)
3107
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
3108
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
3111
* The new development format ``--development6-rich-root`` now supports
3112
stacking. We chose not to use a new format marker, since old clients
3113
will just fail to open stacked branches, the same as if we used a new
3114
format flag. (John Arbash Meinel, #373455)
3116
* Plugins can now define their own annotation tie-breaker when two revisions
3117
introduce the exact same line. See ``bzrlib.annotate._break_annotation_tie``
3118
Be aware though that this is temporary, private (as indicated by the leading
3119
'_') and a first step to address the problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #348459)
3121
* New command ``bzr dpush`` that can push changes to foreign
3122
branches (svn, git) without setting custom bzr-specific metadata.
3125
* ``bzr send`` will now check the ``child_submit_format`` setting in
3126
the submit branch to determine what format to use, if none was
3127
specified on the command-line. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3132
* -Dhpss output now includes the number of VFS calls made to the remote
3133
server. (Jonathan Lange)
3135
* ``--coverage`` works for code running in threads too.
3136
(Andrew Bennets, Vincent Ladeuil)
3138
* ``bzr pull`` now has a ``--local`` option to only make changes to the
3139
local branch, and not the bound master branch.
3140
(Gary van der Merwe, #194716)
3142
* ``bzr rm *`` is now as fast as ``bzr rm * --keep``. (Johan Walles, #180116)
3147
* Adding now works properly when path contains a symbolic link.
3148
(Geoff Bache, #183831)
3150
* An error is now raised for unknown eol values. (Brian de Alwis, #358199)
3152
* ``bzr merge --weave`` will now generate a conflict if one side deletes a
3153
line, and the other side modifies the line. (John Arbash Meinel, #328171)
3155
* ``bzr reconfigure --standalone`` no longer raises IncompatibleRepositories.
3156
(Martin von Gagern, #248932)
3158
* ``bzr send`` works to send emails again using MAPI.
3159
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #346998)
3161
* Check for missing parent inventories in StreamSink. This prevents
3162
incomplete stacked branches being created by 1.13 bzr:// and
3163
bzr+ssh:// clients (which have bug #354036). Instead, the server now
3164
causes those clients to send the missing records. (Andrew Bennetts)
3166
* Correctly handle http servers proposing multiple authentication schemes.
3167
(Vincent Ladeuil, #366107)
3169
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
3170
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
3172
* Fix a bug in the pure-python ``GroupCompress`` code when handling copies
3173
longer than 64KiB. (John Arbash Meinel, #364900)
3175
* Fix TypeError in running ``bzr break-lock`` on some URLs.
3176
(Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #365891)
3178
* Non-recursive ``bzr ls`` now works properly when a path is specified.
3179
(Jelmer Vernooij, #357863)
3181
* ssh usernames (defined in ~/.ssh/config) are honoured for bzr+ssh connections.
3182
(Vincent Ladeuil, #367726)
3184
* Several bugs related to unicode symlinks have been fixed and the test suite
3185
enhanced to better catch regressions for them. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3187
* The smart server will no longer raise 'NoSuchRevision' when streaming
3188
content with a size mismatch in a reconstructed graph search: it assumes
3189
that the client will make sure it is happy with what it got, and this
3190
sort of mismatch is normal for stacked environments.
3191
bzr 1.13.0/1 will stream from unstacked branches only - in that case not
3192
getting all the content expected would be a bug. However the graph
3193
search is how we figured out what we wanted, so a mismatch is both odd
3194
and unrecoverable without starting over, and starting over will end up
3195
with the same data as if we just permitted the mismatch. If data is
3196
gc'd, doing a new search will find only the truncated data, so sending
3197
only the truncated data seems reasonable. bzr versions newer than this
3198
will stream from stacked branches and check the stream to find missing
3199
content in the stacked-on branch, and thus will handle the situation
3200
implicitly. (Robert Collins, #360791)
3202
* Upgrading to, or fetching into a 'rich-root' format will now correctly
3203
set the root data the same way that reconcile does.
3204
(Robert Collins, #368921)
3206
* Using unicode Windows API to obtain command-line arguments.
3207
(Alexander Belchenko, #375934)
3215
* ``InterPackRepo.fetch`` and ``RepoFetcher`` now raise ``NoSuchRevision``
3216
instead of ``InstallFailed`` when they detect a missing revision.
3217
``InstallFailed`` itself has been deleted. (Jonathan Lange)
3219
* Not passing arguments to ``bzrlib.commands.main()`` will now grab the
3220
arguments from ``osutils.get_unicode_argv()`` which has proper support
3221
for unicode arguments on windows. Further, the supplied arguments are now
3222
required to be unicode strings, rather than user_encoded strings.
3223
(Alexander Belchenko)
3228
* ``bzrlib.branch.Branch.set_parent`` is now present on the base branch
3229
class and will call ``_set_parent_location`` after doing unicode
3230
encoding. (Robert Collins)
3232
* ``bzrlib.remote.RemoteBranch._set_parent_location`` will use a new verb
3233
``Branch.set_parent_location`` removing further VFS operations.
3236
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir._get_config`` now returns a ``TransportConfig``
3237
or similar when the dir supports configuration settings. The base class
3238
defaults to None. There is a matching new server verb
3239
``BzrDir.get-config_file`` to reduce roundtrips for getting BzrDir
3240
configuration. (Robert Collins)
3242
* ``bzrlib.tests.ExtendedTestResult`` has new methods ``startTests``
3243
called before the first test is started, ``done`` called after the last
3244
test completes, and a new parameter ``strict``. (Robert Collins)
3246
* ``-Dhpss`` when passed to bzr will cause a backtrace to be printed when
3247
VFS operations are started on a smart server repository. This should not
3248
occur on regular push and pull operations, and is a key indicator for
3249
performance regressions. (Robert Collins)
3251
* ``-Dlock`` when passed to the selftest (e.g. ``bzr -Dlock selftest``) will
3252
cause mismatched physical locks to cause test errors rather than just
3253
reporting to the screen. (Robert Collins)
3255
* -Dprogress will cause pdb to start up if a progress view jumps
3256
backwards. (Robert Collins)
3258
* Fallback ``CredentialStore`` instances registered with ``fallback=True``
3259
are now be able to provide credentials if obtaining credentials
3260
via ~/.bazaar/authentication.conf fails. (Jelmer Vernooij,
3261
Vincent Ladeuil, #321918)
3263
* New hook ``Lock.lock_broken`` which runs when a lock is
3264
broken. This is mainly for testing that lock/unlock are
3265
balanced in tests. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3267
* New MergeDirective hook 'merge_request_body' allows hooks to supply or
3268
alter a body for the message produced by ``bzr send``.
3270
* New smart server verb ``BzrDir.initialize_ex`` which implements a
3271
refactoring to the core of clone allowing less round trips on new
3272
branches. (Robert Collins)
3274
* New method ``Tags.rename_revisions`` that can rename revision ids tags
3275
are pointing at. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3277
* Updated the bundled ``ConfigObj`` library to 4.6.0 (Matt Nordhoff)
3282
* ``bzr selftest`` will now fail if lock/unlock are not correctly balanced in
3283
tests. Using ``-Dlock`` will turn the related failures into warnings.

Compatibility Breaks
3334
********************
3336
* A previously disabled code path to accelerate getting configuration
3337
settings from a smart server has been reinstated. We think this *may*
3338
cause a incompatibility with servers older than bzr 0.15. We intend
3339
to issue a point release to address this if it turns out to be a
3340
problem. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3342
* bzr no longer autodetects nested trees as 'tree-references'. They
3343
must now be explicitly added tree references. At the commandline, use
3344
join --reference instead of add. (Aaron Bentley)
3346
* The ``--long`` log format (the default) no longer shows merged
3347
revisions implicitly, making it consistent with the ``short`` and
3348
``line`` log formats. To see merged revisions for just a given
3349
revision, use ``bzr log -n0 -rX``. To see every merged revision,
3350
use ``bzr log -n0``. (Ian Clatworthy)
3355
* New formats ``1.14`` and ``1.14-rich-root`` supporting End-Of-Line
3356
(EOL) conversions, keyword templating (via the bzr-keywords plugin)
3357
and generic content filtering. These formats replace the experimental
3358
``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root`` formats
3359
respectively, but have support for filtered views disabled.
3362
* New ``mv --auto`` option recognizes renames after they occur.
3365
* ``bzr`` can now get passwords from stdin without requiring a controlling
3366
terminal (i.e. by redirecting stdin). (Vincent Ladeuil)
3368
* ``bzr log`` now supports filtering of multiple files and directories
3369
and will show changes that touch any of them. Furthermore,
3370
directory filtering now shows the changes to any children of that
3371
directory, not just the directory object itself.
3372
(Ian Clatworthy, #97715)
3374
* ``bzr shelve`` can now apply changes without storing anything on the
3375
shelf, via the new --destroy option. (Aaron Bentley)
3377
* ``bzr send`` now accepts --body to specify an initial message body.
3380
* ``bzr xxx --usage`` where xxx is a command now shows a usage
3381
message and the options without the descriptive help sections
3382
(like Description and Examples). A message is also given
3383
explaining how to see the complete help, i.e. ``bzr help xxx``.
3386
* Content filters can now be used to provide custom conversion
3387
between the canonical format of content (i.e. as stored) and
3388
the convenience format of content (i.e. as created in working
3389
trees). See ``bzr help content-filters`` for further details.
3390
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
3392
* End-of-line conversion is now supported for formats supporting
3393
content filtering. See ``bzr help eol`` for details.
3396
* Newly-blessed `join` command allows combining two trees into one.
3402
* A new format name alias ``default-rich-root`` has been added and
3403
points at the closest relative of the default format that supports
3404
rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #338061)
3406
* Branching from a stacked branch using ``bzr*://`` will now stream
3407
the data when the target repository does not need topological
3408
ordering, reducing round trips and network overhead. This uses the
3409
existing smart server methods added in 1.13, so will work on any
3410
1.13 or newer server. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3412
* ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr export`` now supports a ``--filters`` option
3413
that displays/saves the content after content filters are applied.
3416
* ``bzr ignore`` gives a more informative message when existing
3417
version controlled files match the ignore pattern. (Neil
3418
Martinsen-Burrell, #248895)
3420
* ``bzr log`` now has ``--include-merges`` as an alias for ``--levels 0``.
3423
* ``bzr send`` is faster on repositories with deep histories.
3426
* IPv6 literals are accepted in URLs.
3427
(stlman, Martin Pool, Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
3429
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
3430
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
3432
* Prompt for user names if they are not in the configuration.
3433
(Jelmer Vernooij, #256612)
3435
* Pushing to a stacked pack-format branch on a 1.12 or older smart server
3436
now takes many less round trips. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins,
3439
* Streaming push can be done to older repository formats. This is
3440
implemented using a new ``Repository.insert_stream_locked`` RPC.
3441
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3443
* The "ignoring files outside view: .." message has been re-worded
3444
to "Ignoring files outside view. View is .." to reduce confusion
3445
about what was being considered and what was being ignored.
3448
* The ``long`` log formatter now shows [merge] indicators. If
3449
only one level of revisions is displayed and merges are found,
3450
the ``long`` and ``short`` log formatters now tell the user
3451
how to see the hidden merged revisions. (Ian Clatworthy)
3453
* The ``brisbane-core`` project has delivered its beta format
3454
``development6-rich-root``. This format is suitable for judicious
3455
testing by early adopters. In particular if you are benchmarking bzr
3456
performance please be sure to test using this format. At this stage
3457
more information is best obtained by contacting the Bazaar mailing list
3458
or IRC channel if you are interested in using this format. We will make
3459
end user documentation available closer to blessing the format as
3460
production ready. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Ian Clatworthy,
3461
Vincent Ladeuil, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3463
* Tildes are no longer escaped. No more %7Euser/project/branch!
3469
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
3470
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
3471
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
3472
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
3473
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
3474
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
3475
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3477
* End-Of-Line content filters are now loaded correctly.
3478
(Ian Clatworthy, Brian de Alwis, #355280)
3480
* Authentication plugins now receive all the parameters from the request
3481
itself (aka host, port, realm, path, etc). Previously, only the
3482
authentication section name, username and encoded password were
3483
provided. (Jean-Francois Roy)
3485
* bzr gives a better message if an invalid regexp is passed to ``bzr log
3486
-m``. (Anne Mohsen, Martin Pool)
3488
* ``bzr split`` now says "See also: join" (Aaron Bentley, #335015)
3490
* ``bzr version-info`` now works in empty branches. (Jelmer Vernooij,
3493
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
3494
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
3495
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
3497
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
3498
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
3500
* Fix 'make check-dist-tarball' failure by converting paths to unicode when
3501
needed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355454)
3503
* Fixed "Specified file 'x/y/z' is outside current view: " occurring
3504
on ``bzr add x/y/z`` in formats supporting views when no view is
3505
defined. (Ian Clatworthy, #344708)
3507
* It is no longer possible to fetch between repositories while the
3508
target repository is in a write group. This prevents race conditions
3509
that prevent the use of RPC's to perform fetch, and thus allows
3510
optimising more operations. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3512
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
3514
* No more warnings are issued about ``sha`` being deprecated under python-2.6.
3515
(Vincent Ladeuil, #346593)
3517
* Pushing a new branch to a server that has a stacking policy will now
3518
upgrade from the local branch format when the stacking policy points at
3519
a branch which is itself stackable, because we know the client can read
3520
both branches, we know that the trunk for the project can be read too,
3521
so the upgrade will not inconvenience users. (Robert Collins, #345169)
3523
* Pushing a new stacked branch will also push the parent inventories for
3524
revisions at the stacking boundary. This makes sure that the stacked
3525
branch has enough data to calculate inventory deltas for all of its
3526
revisions (without requiring the fallback branch). This avoids
3527
"'AbsentContentFactory' object has no attribute 'get_bytes_as'" errors
3528
when fetching the stacked branch from a 1.13 (or later) smart server.
3529
This partially fixes #354036. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3531
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX. Several minor issues (mostly
3532
test related) have been fixed. (Vincent Ladeuil, #355273).
3534
* The GNU Changelog formatter is slightly improved in the case where
3535
the delta is empty, and now correctly claims not to support tags.
3538
* Shelve can now shelve changes to a symlink target.
3539
(James Westby, #341558)
3541
* The help for the ``info`` command has been corrected.
3542
(Ian Clatworthy, #351931)
3544
* Upgrade will now use a sensible default format if the source repository
3545
uses rich roots. (Jelmer Vernooij, #252908)
3550
* Expanded the index of the developer documentation. (Eric Siegerman)
3552
* New topic `bzr help debug-flags`. (Martin Pool)
3554
* The generated manpage now explicitly lists aliases as commands.
3555
(James Westby, #336998)
3560
* APIs deprecated in 1.6 and previous versions of bzr are now removed.
3563
* ``CommitReporter`` is no longer called with ``unchanged`` status during
3564
commit - this was a full-tree overhead that bzr no longer performs.
3567
* New abstract ``UIFactory`` method ``get_username`` which will be called to
3568
obtain the username to use when connecting to remote machines.
3571
* New API ``Inventory.filter()`` added that filters an inventory by
3572
a set of file-ids so that only those fileids, their parents and
3573
their children are included. (Ian Clatworthy)
3575
* New sort order for ``get_record_stream`` ``groupcompress`` which
3576
sorts optimally for use with groupcompress compressors. (John Arbash
3577
Meinel, Robert Collins)
3579
* Repository APIs ``get_deltas_for_revisions()`` and
3580
``get_revision_delta()`` now support an optional ``specific_fileids``
3581
parameter. If provided, the deltas are filtered so that only those
3582
file-ids, their parents and their children are included.
3585
* The ``get_credentials`` and ``set_credentials`` methods of
3586
``AuthenticationConfig`` now accept an optional realm argument.
3589
* The ``pb`` argument to ``fetch()`` is deprecated.
3592
* The ``Serializer`` class and the serializer ``format registry`` have moved
3593
from ``bzrlib.xml_serializer`` to ``bzrlib.serializer``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3595
* The smart server jail now hooks into BzrDir.open to prevent any BzrDir
3596
that is not inside the backing transport from being opened. See the
3597
module documentation for ``bzrlib.smart.request`` for details.
3598
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3600
* ``Tree.get_symlink_target`` now always returns a unicode string result
3601
or None. Previously it would return the bytes from reading the link
3602
which could be in any arbitrary encoding. (Robert Collins)
3607
* ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase`` now fails the test if its own ``setUp``
3608
and ``tearDown`` weren't called. This catches faulty tests that
3609
forget to upcall when overriding ``setUp`` and ``tearDown``. Those
3610
faulty tests were not properly isolated.
3611
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3613
* Fix test_msgeditor.MsgEditorTest test isolation.
3614
(Vincent Ladeuil, #347130)
3616
* ``medusa`` is not used anymore as an FTP test server starting with
3617
python2.6. A new FTP test server based on ``pyftplib`` can be used
3618
instead. This new server is a soft dependency as medusa which is still
3619
preferred if both are available (modulo python version).
3625
* Added ``chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string maps.
3626
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
3628
* Added ``bzrlib.chk_map`` for fast, trie-based storage of tuple to string
3629
maps. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
3631
* Added ``bzrlib.inventory_delta`` module. This will be used for
3632
serializing and deserializing inventory deltas for more efficient
3633
streaming on the network. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3635
* ``Branch._get_config`` has been added, which splits out access to the
3636
specific config file from the branch. This is used to let RemoteBranch
3637
avoid constructing real branch objects to access configuration settings.
3638
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3640
* ``Branch`` now implements ``set_stacked_on_url`` in the base class as
3641
the implementation is generic and should impact foreign formats. This
3642
helps performance for ``RemoteBranch`` push operations to new stacked
3643
branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3645
* ``BtreeIndex._spill_mem_keys_to_disk()`` now generates disk index with
3646
optmizations turned off. This only has effect when processing > 100,000
3647
keys during something like ``bzr pack``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3649
* ``bzr selftest`` now accepts ``--subunit`` to run in subunit output
3650
mode. Requires ``lp:subunit`` installed to work, but is not a hard
3651
dependency. (Robert Collins)
3653
* ``BzrDir.open_branch`` now takes an optional ``ignore_fallbacks``
3654
parameter for controlling opening of stacked branches.
3655
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3657
* ``CommitBuilder`` has a new method, ``record_iter_changes`` which works
3658
in terms of an iter_changes iterator rather than full tree scanning.
3661
* ``DirState`` can now be passed a custom ``SHA1Provider`` object
3662
enabling it to store the SHA1 and stat of the canonical (post
3663
content filtered) form. (Ian Clatworthy)
3665
* New ``assertLength`` method based on one Martin has squirreled away
3666
somewhere. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3668
* New hook ``BzrDir.pre_open`` which runs before opening ``BzrDir``
3669
objects, allowing better enforcement of the smart server jail when
3670
dealing with stacked branches. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3672
* New hook ``RioVersionInfoBuilder.revision``, allowing extra entries
3673
to be added to the stanza that is printed for a particular revision.
3676
* New repository method ``refresh_data`` to cause any repository to
3677
make visible data inserted into the repository by a smart server
3678
fetch operation. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3680
* ``register_filter_stack_map`` now takes an optional fallback parameter,
3681
a callable to invoke if a preference has a value not in the map
3682
of filter stacks. This enhancement allows, for example, bzr-svn to
3683
handle existing svn properties that define a list of keywords to be
3684
expanded. (Ian Clatworthy)
3686
* ``RemoteBranchConfig`` will use a new verb ``Branch.set_config_option``
3687
to write config settings to smart servers that support this, saving
3688
5 round trips on the stacked streaming acceptance test.
3689
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3691
* ``RemoteBranch`` now provides ``_get_config`` for access to just the
3692
branch specific configuration from a remote server, which uses the
3693
already existing ``Branch.get_config_file`` smart verb.
3694
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3696
* ``RemoteRepository`` will now negatively cache missing revisions during
3697
``get_parent_map`` while read-locked. Write-locks are unaffected.
3698
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3700
* Removed ``InterRemoteToOther``, ``InterOtherToRemote`` and
3701
``InterPackToRemotePack`` classes, as they are now unnecessary.
3704
* ``RepositoryFormat`` as a new attribute ``fast_deltas`` to indicate
3705
whether the repository can efficiently generate deltas between trees
3706
regardless of tree size. (Robert Collins)
3708
* ``Repository.iter_files_bytes()`` now properly returns an "iterable of
3709
byte strings" (aka 'chunked') for the content. It previously was
3710
returning a plain string, which worked, but performed very poorly when
3711
building a working tree (file.writelines(str) is very inefficient). This
3712
can have a large effect on ``bzr checkout`` times. (John Arbash Meinel)
3714
* selftest now supports a --parallel option, with values of 'fork' or
3715
'subprocess' to run the test suite in parallel. Currently only linux
3716
machine work, other platforms need patches submitted. (Robert Collins,
3719
* ``tests.run_suite`` has a new parameter ``suite_decorators``, a list of
3720
callables to use to decorate the test suite. Such decorators can add or
3721
remove tests, or even remote the test suite to another machine if
3722
desired. (Robert Collins)
3724
* The smart server verb ``Repository.get_parent_map`` can now include
3725
information about ghosts when the special revision ``include-missing:``
3726
is in the requested parents map list. With this flag, ghosts are
3727
included as ``missing:REVISION_ID``. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3729
* ``_walk_to_common_revisions`` will now batch up at least 50
3730
revisions before calling ``get_parent_map`` on the target,
3731
regardless of ``InterRepository``.

GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``. Debug

Changes From 1.13.1 to 1.13.2
3748
*****************************
3750
A regression was found in the 1.13.1 release. When bzr 1.13.1 and earlier push
3751
a stacked branch they do not take care to push all the parent inventories for
3752
the transferred revisions. This means that a smart server serving that branch
3753
often cannot calculate inventory deltas for the branch (because smart server
3754
does not/cannot open fallback repositories). Prior to 1.13 the server did not
3755
have a verb to stream revisions out of a repository, so that's why this bug has
3761
* Fix for bug 354036 ErrorFromSmartServer - AbsentContentFactory object has no
3762
attribute 'get_bytes_as' exception while pulling from Launchpad
3763
(Jean-Francois Roy, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3765
Changes From 1.13final to 1.13.1
3766
********************************
3768
A couple regessions where found in the 1.13 release. The pyrex-generated C
3769
extensions are missing from the .tar.gz and .zip files. Documentation on how
3770
to generate GNU ChangeLogs is wrong.
3775
* Change ``./bzr``'s ``_script_version`` to match ./bzrlib/__init__.py
3776
version_info. (Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, #345232)
3778
* Distribution archives for 1.13 do not contain generated C extension modules
3779
(Jean-Francois Roy, Bob Tanner, #344465)
3781
* GNU ChangeLog output can now be produced by bzr log --format gnu-changelog is
3782
incorrect (Deejay, Bob Tanner, Martin Pool, Robert Collins, #343928)
3784
* ``merge --force`` works again. (Robert Collins, #342105)
3786
Changes From 1.13rc1 to 1.13final
3787
*********************************
3789
* Fix "is not a stackable format" error when pushing a
3790
stackable-format branch with an unstackable-format repository to a
3791
destination with a default stacking policy. (Andrew Bennetts)
3793
* Progress bars now show the rate of network activity for
3794
``bzr+ssh://`` and ``bzr://`` connections. (Andrew Bennetts)
3796
Compatibility Breaks
3797
********************
3799
* ``bzr log --line`` now indicates which revisions are merges with
3800
`[merge]` after the date. Scripts which parse the output of this
3801
command may need to be adjusted.
3802
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
3807
* ``bzr reconfigure`` now supports --with-trees and --with-no-trees
3808
options to change the default tree-creation policy of shared
3809
repositories. (Matthew Fuller, Marius Kruger, #145033)
3811
* Debug flags can now be set in ``~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf``.
3814
* Filtered views provide a mask over the tree so that users can focus
3815
on a subset of a tree when doing their work. See ``Filtered views``
3816
in chapter 7 of the User Guide and ``bzr help view`` for details.
3819
* GNU Changelog output can now be produced by ``bzr log --gnu-changelog``.
3820
(Andrea Bolognani, Martin Pool)
3822
* The ``-Dmemory`` flag now gives memory information on Windows.
3823
(John Arbash Meinel)
3825
* Multiple authors for a commit can now be recorded by using the "--author"
3826
option multiple times. (James Westby, #185772)
3828
* New clean-tree command, from bzrtools. (Aaron Bentley, Jelmer Vernooij)
3830
* New command ``bzr launchpad-open`` opens a Launchpad web page for that
3831
branch in your web browser, as long as the branch is on Launchpad at all.
3834
* New API for getting bugs fixed by a revision: Revision.iter_bugs().
3840
* All bzr ``Hooks`` classes are now registered in
3841
``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks``. This removes the separate list from
3842
``bzrlib.tests`` and ensures that all hooks registered there are
3843
correctly isolated by the test suite (previously
3844
``MutableTreeHooks`` were not being isolated correctly). Further,
3845
documentation for hooks is now dynamically generated from the
3846
present HookPoints. ``bzr hooks`` will now also report on all the
3847
hooks present in the ``bzrlib.hooks.known_hooks`` registry.
3850
* ``bzr add`` no longer prints ``add completed`` on success. Failure
3851
still prints an error message. (Robert Collins)
3853
* ``bzr branch`` now has a ``--no-tree`` option which turns off the
3854
generation of a working tree in the new branch.
3855
(Daniel Watkins, John Klinger, #273993)
3857
* Bazaar will now point out ``bzr+ssh://`` to the user when they
3858
use ssh://. (Jelmer Vernooij, #330535)
3860
* ``bzr -v info`` now omits the number of committers branch statistic,
3861
making it many times faster for large projects. To include that
3862
statistic in the output, use ``bzr -vv info``.
3865
* ``bzr push`` to a ``bzr`` url (``bzr://``, ``bzr+ssh://`` etc) will
3866
stream if the server is version 1.13 or greater, reducing roundtrips
3867
significantly. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3869
* Lightweight Checkouts and Stacked Branches should both be much
3870
faster over remote connections. Building the working tree now
3871
batches up requests into approx 5MB requests, rather than a separate
3872
request for each file. (John Arbash Meinel)
3874
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using HTTP or HTTPS.
3877
* The ``bzr shelve`` prompt now includes a '?' help option to explain the
3878
short options better. (Daniel Watkins, #327429)
3880
* ``bzr lp-open`` now falls back to the push location if it cannot find a
3881
public location. (Jonathan Lange, #332372)
3883
* ``bzr lp-open`` will try to find the Launchpad URL for the location
3884
passed on the command line. This makes ``bzr lp-open lp:foo`` work as
3885
expected. (Jonathan Lange, #332705)
3887
* ``bzr send`` now supports MH-E via ``emacsclient``. (Eric Gillespie)
3892
* Allows ``bzr log <FILE>`` to be called in an empty branch without
3893
backtracing. (Vincent Ladeuil, #346431)
3895
* Bazaar now gives a better message including the filename if it's
3896
unable to read a file in the working directory, for example because
3897
of a permission error. (Martin Pool, #338653)
3899
* ``bzr cat -r<old> <path>`` doesn't traceback anymore when <path> has a
3900
file id in the working tree different from the one in revision <old>.
3901
(Vincent Ladeuil, #341517, #253806)
3903
* ``bzr send`` help is more specific about how to apply merge
3904
directives. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #253470)
3906
* ``bzr missing`` now uses ``Repository.get_revision_delta()`` rather
3907
than fetching trees and determining a delta itself. (Jelmer
3910
* ``bzr push`` to a smart server no longer causes "Revision
3911
{set([('null:',)])} not present ..." errors when the branch has
3912
multiple root revisions. (Andrew Bennetts, #317654)
3914
* ``bzr shelve`` now properly handle patches with no terminating newline.
3915
(Benoît PIERRE, #303569)
3917
* ``bzr unshelve`` gives a more palatable error if passed a non-integer
3918
shelf id. (Daniel Watkins)
3920
* Export now handles files that are not present in the tree.
3921
(James Westby, #174539)
3923
* Fixed incorrect "Source format does not support stacking" warning
3924
when pushing to a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #334114)
3926
* Fixed "sprout() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_branch'"
3927
error branching from old repositories.
3928
(Martin Pool, #321695)
3930
* Make ``bzr push --quiet <non-local location>`` less chatty.
3931
(Kent Gibson, #221461)
3933
* Many Branch hooks would not fire with ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://``
3934
branches, and this was not noticed due to a bug in the test logic
3935
for branches. This is now fixed and a test added to prevent it
3936
reoccuring. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3938
* Restore the progress bar on Windows. We were disabling it when TERM
3939
wasn't set, but Windows doesn't set TERM. (Alexander Belchenko,
3942
* ``setup.py build_ext`` now gives a proper error when an extension
3943
fails to build. (John Arbash Meinel)
3945
* Symlinks to non ascii file names are now supported.
3946
(Robert Collins, Vincent Ladeuil, #339055, #272444)
3948
* Under rare circumstances (aka nobody reported a bug about it), the ftp
3949
transport could revert to ascii mode. It now stays in binary mode except
3950
when needed. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3952
* Unshelve does not generate warnings about progress bars.
3953
(Aaron Bentley, #328148)
3955
* shelve cleans up properly when unversioned files are specified.
3956
(Benoît Pierre, Aaron Bentley)
3961
* Added ``Organizing your workspace`` to the User Guide appendices,
3962
summarizing some common ways of organizing trees, branches and
3963
repositories and the processes/workflows implied/enabled by each.
3966
* Hooks can now be self documenting. ``bzrlib.hooks.Hooks.create_hook``
3967
is the entry point for this feature. (Robert Collins)
3969
* The documentation for ``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` has been clarified.
3970
(Daniel Watkins, #327421, #327425)
3975
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if the bazaar sources contain trailing
3976
whitespace, non-unix style line endings and files not ending in a
3977
newline. About 372 files and 3243 lines with trailing whitespace was
3978
updated to comply with this. The code already complied with the other
3979
criteria, but now it is enforced. (Marius Kruger)
3981
* ``bzrlib.branch.PushResult`` was renamed to
3982
``bzrlib.branch.BranchPushResult``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
3984
* ``Branch.fetch`` and ``Repository.fetch`` now return None rather
3985
than a count of copied revisions and failed revisions. A while back
3986
we stopped ever reporting failed revisions because we started
3987
erroring instead, and the copied revisions count is not used in the
3988
UI at all - indeed it only reflects the repository status not
3989
changes to the branch itself. (Robert Collins)
3991
* ``Inventory.apply_delta`` now raises an AssertionError if a file-id
3992
appears multiple times within the delta. (Ian Clatworthy)
3994
* MutableTree.commit now favours the "authors" argument, with the old
3995
"author" argument being deprecated.
3997
* Remove deprecated EmptyTree. (Martin Pool)
3999
* ``Repository.fetch`` now accepts an optional ``fetch_spec``
4000
parameter. A ``SearchResult`` or ``MiniSearchResult`` may be passed
4001
to ``fetch_spec`` instead of a ``last_revision`` to specify exactly
4002
which revisions to fetch. (Andrew Bennetts)
4004
* ``RepositoryAcquisitionPolicy.acquire_repository`` now returns a
4005
tuple of ``(repository, is_new_flag)``, rather than just the
4006
repository. (Andrew Bennetts)
4008
* Revision.get_apparent_author() is now deprecated, replaced by
4009
Revision.get_apparent_authors(), which returns a list. The former
4010
now returns the first item that would be returned from the second.
4012
* The ``BranchBuilder`` test helper now accepts a ``timestamp``
4013
parameter to ``build_commit`` and ``build_snapshot``. (Martin Pool)
4015
* The ``_fetch_*`` attributes on ``Repository`` are now on
4016
``RepositoryFormat``, more accurately reflecting their intent (they
4017
describe a disk format capability, not state of a particular
4018
repository of that format). (Robert Collins)
4023
* Branching from a non-stacked branch on a smart protocol is now
4024
free of virtual file system methods.
4025
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4027
* Branch and Repository creation on a bzr+ssh://server are now done
4028
via RPC calls rather than VFS calls, reducing round trips for
4029
pushing new branches substantially. (Robert Collins)
4031
* ``Branch.clone`` now takes the ``repository_policy`` formerly used
4032
inside ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport``, allowing stacking to be
4033
configured before the branch tags and revision tip are set. This
4034
fixes a race condition cloning stacked branches that would cause
4035
plugins to have hooks called on non-stacked instances.
4036
(Robert Collins, #334187)
4038
* ``BzrDir.cloning_metadir`` now has a RPC call. (Robert Collins)
4040
* ``BzrDirFormat.__str__`` now uses the human readable description
4041
rather than the sometimes-absent disk label. (Robert Collins)
4043
* ``bzrlib.fetch`` is now composed of a sender and a sink component
4044
allowing for decoupling over a network connection. Fetching from
4045
or into a RemoteRepository with a 1.13 server will use this to
4046
stream the operation.
4047
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4049
* ``bzrlib.tests.run_suite`` accepts a runner_class parameter
4050
supporting the use of different runners. (Robert Collins)
4052
* Change how file_ids and revision_ids are interned as part of
4053
inventory deserialization. Now we use the real ``intern()``, rather
4054
than our own workaround that would also cache a Unicode copy of the
4055
string, and never emptied the cache. This should slightly reduce
4056
memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
4058
* New branch method ``create_clone_on_transport`` that returns a
4059
branch object. (Robert Collins)
4061
* New hook Commands['extend_command'] to allow plugins to access a
4062
command object before the command is run (or help generated from
4063
it), without overriding the command. (Robert Collins)
4065
* New version of the ``BzrDir.find_repository`` verb supporting
4066
``_network_name`` to support removing more _ensure_real calls.
4069
* ``RemoteBranchFormat`` no longer claims to have a disk format string.
4072
* ``Repository`` objects now have ``suspend_write_group`` and
4073
``resume_write_group`` methods. These are currently only useful
4074
with pack repositories. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4076
* ``BzrDirFormat``, ``BranchFormat`` and ``RepositoryFormat`` objects
4077
now have a ``network_name`` for passing the format across RPC calls.
4078
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4080
* ``RepositoryFormat`` objects now all have a new attribute
4081
``_serializer`` used by fetch when reserialising is required.
4082
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4084
* Some methods have been pulled up from ``BzrBranch`` to ``Branch``
4085
to aid branch types that are not bzr branch objects (like
4086
RemoteBranch). (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
4088
* Test adaptation has been made consistent throughout the built in
4089
tests. ``TestScenarioApplier``, ``multiply_tests_from_modules``,
4090
``adapt_tests``, ``adapt_modules`` have all been deleted. Please
4091
use ``multiply_tests``, or for lower level needs ``apply_scenarios``
4092
and ``apply_scenario``. (Robert Collins)
4094
* ``TestSkipped`` is now detected by TestCase and passed to the
4095
``TestResult`` by calling ``addSkip``. For older TestResult objects,
4096
where ``addSkip`` is not available, ``addError`` is still called.
4097
This permits test filtering in subunit to strip out skipped tests
4098
resulting in a faster fix-shrink-list-run cycle. This is compatible
4099
with the testtools protocol for skips. (Robert Collins)
4101
* The ``_index`` of ``KnitVersionedFiles`` now supports the ability
4102
to scan an underlying index that is going to be incorporated into
4103
the ``KnitVersionedFiles`` object, to determine if it has missing
4104
delta references. The method is ``scan_unvalidated_index``.
4105
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4107
* There is a RemoteSink object which handles pushing to smart servers.
4108
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4110
* ``TransportTraceDecorator`` now logs ``put_bytes_non_atomic`` and
4111
``rmdir`` calls. (Robert Collins)
4113
* ``VersionedFiles`` record adapters have had their signature change
4114
from ``(record, record.get_bytes_as(record.storage_kind))`` to
4115
``(record)`` reducing excess duplication and allowing adapters
4116
to access private data in record to obtain content more
4117
efficiently. (Robert Collins)
4119
* We no longer probe to see if we should create a working tree during
4120
clone if we cannot get a local_abspath for the new bzrdir.

:1.12rc1: 2009-02-10
4131
This release of Bazaar contains many improvements to the speed,
4132
documentation and functionality of ``bzr log`` and the display of logged
4133
revisions by ``bzr status``. bzr now also gives a better indication of
4134
progress, both in the way operations are drawn onto a text terminal, and
4135
by showing the rate of network IO.
4137
Changes from RC1 to Final
4138
*************************
4140
* ``bzr init --development-wt5[-rich-root]`` would fail because of
4141
circular import errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #328135)
4143
* Expanded the help for log and added a new help topic called
4144
``log-formats``. (Ian Clatworthy)
4146
Compatibility Breaks
4147
********************
4149
* By default, ``bzr status`` after a merge now shows just the pending
4150
merge tip revisions. This improves the signal-to-noise ratio after
4151
merging from trunk and completes much faster. To see all merged
4152
revisions, use the new ``-v`` flag. (Ian Clatworthy)
4154
* ``bzr log --line`` now shows any tags after the date and before
4155
the commit message. If you have scripts which parse the output
4156
from this command, you may need to adjust them accordingly.
4159
* ``bzr log --short`` now shows any additional revision properties
4160
after the date and before the commit message. Scripts that parse
4161
output of the log command in this situation may need to adjust.
4162
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
4164
* The experimental formats ``1.12-preview`` and ``1.12-preview-rich-root``
4165
have been renamed ``development-wt5`` and ``development-wt5-rich-root``
4166
respectively, given they are not ready for release in 1.12.
4169
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` has been deprecated. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4174
* Add support for filtering ``bzr missing`` on revisions. Remote revisions
4175
can be filtered using ``bzr missing -r -20..-10`` and local revisions can
4176
be filtered using ``bzr missing --my-revision -20..-10``.
4179
* ``bzr log -p`` displays the patch diff for each revision.
4180
When logging a file, the diff only includes changes to that file.
4181
(Ian Clatworthy, #202331, #227335)
4183
* ``bzr log`` supports a new option called ``-n N`` or ``--level N``.
4184
A value of 0 (zero) means "show all nested merge revisions" while
4185
a value of 1 (one) means "show just the top level". Values above
4186
1 can be used to see a limited amount of nesting. That can be
4187
useful for seeing the level or two below PQM submits for example.
4188
To force the ``--short`` and ``--line`` formats to display all nested
4189
merge revisions just like ``--long`` does by default, use a command
4190
like ``bzr log --short -n0``. To display just the mainline using
4191
``--long`` format, ``bzr log --long -n1``.
4197
* ``bzr add`` more clearly communicates success vs failure.
4200
* ``bzr init`` will now print a little less verbose output.
4203
* ``bzr log`` is now much faster in many use cases, particularly
4204
at incrementally displaying results and filtering by a
4205
revision range. (Ian Clatworthy)
4207
* ``bzr log --short`` and ``bzr log --line`` now show tags, if any,
4208
for each revision. The tags are shown comma-separated inside
4209
``{}``. For short format, the tags appear at the end of line
4210
before the optional ``[merge]`` indicator. For line format,
4211
the tags appear after the date. (Ian Clatworthy)
4213
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for some sftp
4214
operations, and they are drawn different. (Martin Pool, #172741)
4216
* Progress bars now show the rate of activity for urllib and pycurl based
4217
http client implementations. The operations are tracked at the socket
4218
level for better precision.
4221
* Rule-based preferences can now accept multiple patterns for a set of
4222
rules. (Marius Kruger)
4224
* The ``ancestor:`` revision spec will now default to referring to the
4225
parent of the branch if no other location is given.
4226
(Daniel Watkins, #198417)
4228
* The debugger started as a result of setting ``$BZR_PDB`` works
4229
around a bug in ``pdb``, http://bugs.python.org/issue4150. The bug
4230
can cause truncated tracebacks in Python versions before 2.6.
4233
* VirtualVersionedFiles now implements
4234
``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_keys``. This allows the creation of
4235
new branches based on stacked bzr-svn branches. (#311997)
4240
* ``bzr annotate --show-ids`` doesn't give a backtrace on empty files
4242
(Anne Mohsen, Vincent Ladeuil, #314525)
4244
* ``bzr log FILE`` now correctly shows mainline revisions merging
4245
a change to FILE when the ``--short`` and ``--line`` log formats
4246
are used. (Ian Clatworthy, #317417)
4248
* ``bzr log -rX..Y FILE`` now shows the history of FILE provided
4249
it existed in Y or X, even if the file has since been deleted or
4250
renamed. If no range is given, the current/basis tree and
4251
initial tree are searched in that order. More generally, log
4252
now interprets filenames in their historical context.
4253
(Ian Clatworthy, #175520)
4255
* ``bzr status`` now reports nonexistent files and continues, then
4256
errors (with code 3) at the end. (Karl Fogel, #306394)
4258
* Don't require the present compression base in knits to be the same
4259
when adding records in knits. (Jelmer Vernooij, #307394)
4261
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on Windows colliding with
4262
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
4263
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
4265
* Many socket operations now handle EINTR by retrying the operation.
4266
Previously EINTR was treated as an unrecoverable failure. There is
4267
a new ``until_no_eintr`` helper function in ``bzrlib.osutils``.
4270
* Support symlinks with non-ascii characters in the symlink filename.
4271
(Jelmer Vernooij, #319323)
4273
* There was a bug in how we handled resolving when a file is deleted
4274
in one branch, and modified in the other. If there was a criss-cross
4275
merge, we would cause the deletion to conflict a second time.
4276
(Vincent Ladeuil, John Arbash Meinel)
4278
* There was another bug in how we chose the correct intermediate LCA in
4279
criss-cross merges leading to several kind of changes be incorrectly
4281
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil)
4283
* Unshelve now handles deleted paths without crashing. (Robert Collins)
4288
* Improved plugin developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
4293
* ``ProgressBarStack`` is deprecated; instead use
4294
``ui_factory.nested_progress_bar`` to create new progress bars.
4297
* ForeignVcsMapping() now requires a ForeignVcs object as first
4298
argument. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4300
* ForeignVcsMapping.show_foreign_revid() has been moved to
4301
ForeignVcs. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4303
* ``read_bundle_from_url`` is deprecated in favor of
4304
``read_mergeable_from_url``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
4306
* Revision specifiers are now registered in
4307
``bzrlib.revisionspec.revspec_registry``, and the old list of
4308
revisionspec classes (``bzrlib.revisionspec.SPEC_TYPES``) has been
4309
deprecated. (Jelmer Vernooij, #321183)
4311
* The progress and UI classes have changed; the main APIs remain the
4312
same but code that provides a new UI or progress bar class may
4313
need to be updated. (Martin Pool)
4318
* Default User Interface (UI) is CLIUIFactory when bzr runs in a dumb
4319
terminal. It is sometimes desirable do override this default by forcing
4320
bzr to use TextUIFactory. This can be achieved by setting the
4321
BZR_USE_TEXT_UI environment variable (emacs shells, as opposed to
4322
compile buffers, are such an example).
4325
* New API ``Branch.iter_merge_sorted_revisions()`` that iterates over
4326
``(revision_id, depth, revno, end_of_merge)`` tuples.
4329
* New ``Branch.dotted_revno_to_revision_id()`` and
4330
``Branch.revision_id_to_dotted_revno()`` APIs that pick the most
4331
efficient way of doing the mapping.
4334
* Refactor cmd_serve so that it's a little easier to build commands that
4335
extend it, and perhaps even a bit easier to read. (Jonathan Lange)
4337
* ``TreeDelta.show()`` now accepts a ``filter`` parameter allowing log
4338
formatters to retrict the output.
4345
:Codename: "Eyes up!"
4346
:Released: 2009-01-19
4348
This first monthly release of Bazaar for 2009 improves Bazaar's operation
4349
in Windows, Mac OS X, and other situations where file names are matched
4350
without regard to capitalization: Bazaar tries to match the case of an
4351
existing file. This release of Bazaar also improves the efficiency of
4352
Tortoise Windows Shell integration and lets it work on 64-bit platforms.
4354
The UI through which Bazaar supports historic formats has been improved,
4355
so 'bzr help formats' now gives a simpler and shorter list, with clear
4358
This release also fixes a number of bugs, particularly a glitch that can
4359
occur when there are concurrent writes to a pack repository.
4364
* Fix failing test when CompiledChunksToLines is not available.
4367
* Stacked branches don't repeatedly open their transport connection.
4368
(John Arbash Meinel)
4375
:Codename: "Eyes up!"
4376
:Released: 2009-01-09
4381
* Formats using Knit-based repository formats are now explicitly
4382
marked as deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
4387
* Add support for `bzr tags -r 1..2`, that is we now support showing
4388
tags applicable for a specified revision range. (Marius Kruger)
4390
* ``authentication.conf`` now accepts pluggable read-only credential
4391
stores. Such a plugin (``netrc_credential_store``) is now included,
4392
handles the ``$HOME/.netrc`` file and can server as an example to
4393
implement other plugins.
4396
* ``shelve --list`` can now be used to list shelved changes.
4402
* Add trailing slash to directories in all output of ``bzr ls``, except
4403
``bzr ls --null``. (Gordon P. Hemsley, #306424)
4405
* ``bzr revision-info`` now supports a -d option to specify an
4406
alternative branch. (Michael Hudson)
4408
* Add connection to a C++ implementation of the Windows Shell Extension
4409
which is able to fully replace the current Python implemented one.
4410
Advantages include 64bit support and reduction in overhead for
4411
processes which drag in shell extensions.
4414
* Support the Claws mail client directly, rather than via
4415
xdg-email. This prevents the display of an unnecessary modal
4416
dialog in Claws, informing the user that a file has been
4417
attached to the message, and works around bug #291847 in
4418
xdg-utils which corrupts the destination address.
4420
* When working on a case-insensitive case-preserving file-system, as
4421
commonly found with Windows, bzr will often ignore the case of the
4422
arguments specified by the user in preference to the case of an existing
4423
item on the file-system or in the inventory to help prevent
4424
counter-intuitive behaviour on Windows. (Mark Hammond)
4429
* Allow BzrDir implementation to implement backing up of
4430
control directory. (#139691)
4432
* ``bzr push`` creating a new stacked branch will now only open a
4433
single connection to the target machine. (John Arbash Meinel)
4435
* Don't call iteritems on transport_list_registry, because it may
4436
change during iteration. (Martin Pool, #277048)
4438
* Don't make a broken branch when pushing an unstackable-format branch
4439
that's in a stackable shared repository to a location with default
4440
stack-on location. (Andrew Bennetts, #291046)
4442
* Don't require embedding user in HTTP(S) URLs do use authentication.conf.
4443
(Ben Jansen, Vincent Ladeuil, #300347)
4445
* Fix a problem with CIFS client/server lag on windows colliding with
4446
an invariant-per-process algorithm for generating AtomicFile names
4447
(Adrian Wilkins, #304023)
4449
* Fix bogus setUp signature in UnavailableFTPServer.
4450
(Gary van der Merwe, #313498)
4452
* Fix compilation error in ``_dirstate_helpers_c`` on SunOS/Solaris.
4455
* Fix SystemError in ``_patiencediff_c`` module by calling
4456
PyErr_NoMemory() before returning NULL in PatienceSequenceMatcher_new.
4457
(Andrew Bennetts, #303206)
4459
* Give proper error message for diff with non-existent dotted revno.
4460
(Marius Kruger, #301969)
4462
* Handle EACCES (permission denied) errors when launching a message
4463
editor, and emit warnings when a configured editor cannot be
4464
started. (Andrew Bennetts)
4466
* ``$HOME/.netrc`` file is now recognized as a read-only credential store
4467
if configured in ``authentication.conf`` with 'password_encoding=netrc'
4468
in the appropriate sections.
4469
(Vincent Ladeuil, #103029)
4471
* Opening a stacked branch now properly shares the connection, rather
4472
than opening a new connection for the stacked-on branch.
4473
(John Arbash meinel)
4475
* Preserve transport decorators while following redirections.
4476
(Vincent Ladeuil, #245964, #270863)
4478
* Provides a finer and more robust filter for accepted redirections.
4479
(Vincent Ladeuil, #303959, #265070)
4481
* ``shelve`` paths are now interpreted relative to the current working
4482
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
4484
* ``Transport.readv()`` defaults to not reading more than 100MB in a
4485
single array. Further ``RemoteTransport.readv`` sets this to 5MB to
4486
work better with how it splits its requests.
4487
(John Arbash Meinel, #303538)
4489
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
4490
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
4491
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
4493
* ``pull -v`` now respects the log_format configuration variable.
4496
* ``push -v`` now works on non-initial pushes. (Aaron Bentley)
4498
* Use the short status format when the short format is used for log.
4499
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87179)
4501
* Allow files to be renamed or moved via remove + add-by-id. (Charles
4507
* Improved the formats help topic to explain why multiple formats
4508
exist and to provide guidelines in selecting one. Introduced
4509
two new supporting help topics: current-formats and other-formats.
4515
* ``LRUCache(after_cleanup_size)`` was renamed to
4516
``after_cleanup_count`` and the old name deprecated. The new name is
4517
used for clarity, and to avoid confusion with
4518
``LRUSizeCache(after_cleanup_size)``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4520
* New ``ForeignRepository`` base class, to help with foreign branch
4521
support (e.g. svn). (Jelmer Vernooij)
4523
* ``node_distances`` and ``select_farthest`` can no longer be imported
4524
from ``bzrlib.graph``. They can still be imported from
4525
``bzrlib.deprecated_graph``, which has been the preferred way to
4526
import them since before 1.0. (Andrew Bennetts)
4528
* The logic in commit now delegates inventory basis calculations to
4529
the ``CommitBuilder`` object; this requires that the commit builder
4530
in use has been updated to support the new ``recording_deletes`` and
4531
``record_delete`` methods. (Robert Collins)
4536
* An HTTPS server is now available (it requires python-2.6). Future bzr
4537
versions will allow the use of the python-2.6 ssl module that can be
4538
installed for 2.5 and 2.4.
4540
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if new trailing white space is added to
4541
the bazaar sources. It only checks changes not committed yet. This
4542
means that PQM will now reject changes that introduce new trailing
4543
whitespace. (Marius Kruger)
4545
* Introduced new experimental formats called ``1.12-preview`` and
4546
``1.12-preview-rich-root`` to enable testing of related pending
4547
features, namely content filtering and filtered views.
4553
* Added an ``InventoryEntry`` cache when deserializing inventories.
4554
Can cut the time to iterate over multiple RevisionsTrees in half.
4555
(John Arbash Meinel)
4557
* Added ``bzrlib.fifo_cache.FIFOCache`` which is designed to have
4558
minimal overhead versus using a plain dict for cache hits, at the
4559
cost of not preserving the 'active' set as well as an ``LRUCache``.
4560
(John Arbash Meinel)
4562
* ``bzrlib.patience_diff.unified_diff`` now properly uses a tab
4563
character to separate the filename from the date stamp, and doesn't
4564
add trailing whitespace when a date stamp is not supplied.
4565
(Adeodato Simó, John Arbash Meinel)
4567
* ``DirStateWorkingTree`` and ``DirStateWorkingTreeFormat`` added
4568
as base classes of ``WorkingTree4`` and ``WorkingTreeFormat4``
4569
respectively. (Ian Clatworthy)
4571
* ``KnitVersionedFiles._check_should_delta()`` now uses the
4572
``get_build_details`` api to avoid multiple hits to the index, and
4573
to properly follow the ``compression_parent`` rather than assuming
4574
it is the left-hand parent. (John Arbash Meinel)
4576
* ``KnitVersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` will now chose a
4577
more optimal ordering when the keys are requested 'unordered'.
4578
Previously the order was fully random, now the records should be
4579
returned from each pack in turn, in forward I/O order.
4580
(John Arbash Meinel)
4582
* ``mutter()`` will now flush the ``~/.bzr.log`` if it has been more
4583
than 2s since the last time it flushed. (John Arbash Meinel)
4585
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.add_inventory_by_delta``
4586
allows adding an inventory via an inventory delta, which can be
4587
more efficient for some repository types. (Robert Collins)
4589
* Repository ``CommitBuilder`` objects can now accumulate an inventory
4590
delta. To enable this functionality call ``builder.recording_deletes``
4591
and additionally call ``builder.record_delete`` when a delete
4592
against the basis occurs. (Robert Collins)
4594
* The default http handler has been changed from pycurl to urllib.
4595
The default is still pycurl for https connections. (The only
4596
advantage of pycurl is that it checks ssl certificates.)
4597
(John Arbash Meinel)
4599
* ``VersionedFiles.get_record_stream()`` can now return objects with a
4600
storage_kind of ``chunked``. This is a collection (list/tuple) of
4601
strings. You can use ``osutils.chunks_to_lines()`` to turn them into
4602
guaranteed 'lines' or you can use ``''.join(chunks)`` to turn it
4603
into a fulltext. This allows for some very good memory savings when
4604
asking for many texts that share ancestry, as the individual chunks
4605
can be shared between versions of the file. (John Arbash Meinel)
4607
* ``pull -v`` and ``push -v`` use new function
4608
``bzrlib.log.show_branch_change`` (Aaron Bentley)
4615
:Released: 2008-12-05
4617
Bazaar 1.10 has several performance improvements for copying revisions
4618
(especially for small updates to large projects). There has also been a
4619
significant amount of effort in polishing stacked branches. The commands
4620
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` have become core commands, with an improved
4623
The only changes versus bzr-1.10rc1 are bugfixes for stacked branches.
4628
* Don't set a pack write cache size from RepoFetcher, because the
4629
cache is not coherent with reads and causes ShortReadvErrors.
4630
This reverses the change that fixed #294479.
4631
(Martin Pool, #303856)
4633
* Properly handle when a revision can be inserted as a delta versus
4634
when it needs to be expanded to a fulltext for stacked branches.
4635
There was a bug involving merge revisions. As a method to help
4636
prevent future difficulties, also make stacked fetches sort
4637
topologically. (John Arbash Meinel, #304841)
4643
:Released: 2008-11-28
4645
This release of Bazaar focuses on performance improvements when pushing
4646
and pulling revisions, both locally and to remote networks. The popular
4647
``shelve`` and ``unshelve`` commands, used to interactively revert and
4648
restore work in progress, have been merged from bzrtools into the bzr
4649
core. There are also bug fixes for portability, and for stacked branches.
4654
* New ``commit_message_template`` hook that is called by the commit
4655
code to generate a template commit message. (Jelmer Vernooij)
4657
* New `shelve` and `unshelve` commands allow undoing and redoing changes.
4663
* ``(Remote)Branch.copy_content_into`` no longer generates the full revision
4664
history just to set the last revision info.
4665
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4667
* Fetches between formats with different serializers (such as
4668
pack-0.92-subtree and 1.9-rich-root) are faster now. This is due to
4669
operating on batches of 100 revisions at time rather than
4670
one-by-one. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4672
* Search index files corresponding to pack files we've already used
4673
before searching others, because they are more likely to have the
4674
keys we're looking for. This reduces the number of iix and tix
4675
files accessed when pushing 1 new revision, for instance.
4676
(John Arbash Meinel)
4678
* Signatures to transfer are calculated more efficiently in
4679
``item_keys_introduced_by``. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4681
* The generic fetch code can once again copy revisions and signatures
4682
without extracting them completely to fulltexts and then serializing
4683
them back down into byte strings. This is a significant performance
4684
improvement when fetching from a stacked branch.
4685
(John Arbash Meinel, #300289)
4687
* When making a large readv() request over ``bzr+ssh``, break up the
4688
request into more manageable chunks. Because the RPC is not yet able
4689
to stream, this helps keep us from buffering too much information at
4690
once. (John Arbash Meinel)
4695
* Better message when the user needs to set their Launchpad ID.
4696
(Martin Pool, #289148)
4698
* ``bzr commit --local`` doesn't access the master branch anymore.
4699
This fixes a regression introduced in 1.9. (Marius Kruger, #299313)
4701
* Don't call the system ``chdir()`` with an empty path. Sun OS seems
4702
to give an error in that case. Also, don't count on ``getcwd()``
4703
being able to allocate a new buffer, which is a gnu extension.
4704
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, Harry Hirsch, #297831)
4706
* Don't crash when requesting log --forward <file> for a revision range
4707
starting with a dotted revno.
4708
(Vincent Ladeuil, #300055)
4710
* Don't create text deltas spanning stacked repositories; this could
4711
cause "Revision X not present in Y" when later accessing them.
4712
(Martin Pool, #288751)
4714
* Pack repositories are now able to reload the pack listing and retry
4715
the current operation if another action causes the data to be
4716
repacked. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
4718
* PermissionDenied errors from smart servers no longer cause
4719
"PermissionDenied: "None"" on the client.
4720
(Andrew Bennetts, #299254)
4722
* Pushing to a stacked pack repository now batches writes, the same
4723
way writes are batched to ordinary pack repository. This makes
4724
pushing to a stacked branch over the network much faster.
4725
(Andrew Bennetts, #294479)
4727
* TooManyConcurrentRequests no longer occur when a fetch fails and
4728
tries to abort a write group. This allows the root cause (e.g. a
4729
network interruption) to be reported. (Andrew Bennetts, #297014)
4731
* RemoteRepository.get_parent_map now uses fallback repositories.
4732
(Aaron Bentley, #297991?, #293679?)
4737
* ``CommitBuilder`` now validates the strings it will be committing,
4738
to ensure that they do not have characters that will not be properly
4739
round-tripped. For now, it just checks for characters that are
4740
invalid in the XML form. (John Arbash Meinel, #295161)
4742
* Constructor parameters for NewPack (internal to pack repositories)
4743
have changed incompatibly.
4745
* ``Repository.abort_write_group`` now accepts an optional
4746
``suppress_errors`` flag. Repository implementations that override
4747
``abort_write_group`` will need to be updated to accept the new
4748
argument. Subclasses that only override ``_abort_write_group``
4749
don't need to change.
4751
* Transport implementations must provide copy_tree_to_transport. A default
4752
implementation is provided for Transport subclasses.
4757
* ``bzr selftest`` now fails if no doctests are found in a module
4758
that's expected to have them. (Martin Pool)
4760
* Doctests now only report the first failure. (Martin Pool)
4766
:Released: 2008-11-07
4768
This release of Bazaar adds a new repository format, ``1.9``, with smaller
4769
and more efficient index files. This format can be specified when
4770
creating a new repository, or used to losslessly upgrade an existing
4771
repository. bzr 1.9 also speeds most operations over the smart server
4772
protocol, makes annotate faster, and uses less memory when making
4773
checkouts or pulling large amounts of data.
4778
* Fix "invalid property value 'branch-nick' for None" regression with
4779
branches bound to svn branches. (Martin Pool, #293440)
4781
* Fix SSL/https on Python2.6. (Vincent Ladeuil, #293054)
4783
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` had a bug when requests were out-of-order.
4784
This only triggers some-of-the-time on Knit format repositories.
4785
(John Arbash Meinel, #293746)
4791
:Released: 2008-10-31
4796
* New Branch hook ``transform_fallback_location`` allows a function to
4797
be called when looking up the stacked source. (Michael Hudson)
4799
* New repository formats ``1.9`` and ``1.9-rich-root``. These have all
4800
the functionality of ``1.6``, but use the new btree indexes.
4801
These indexes are both smaller and faster for access to historical
4802
information. (John Arbash Meinel)
4807
* ``BTreeIndex`` code now is able to prefetch extra pages to help tune
4808
the tradeoff between bandwidth and latency. Should be tuned
4809
appropriately to not impact commands which need minimal information,
4810
but provide a significant boost to ones that need more context. Only
4811
has a direct impact on the ``--development2`` format which uses
4812
btree's for the indexes. (John Arbash Meinel)
4814
* ``bzr dump-btree`` is a hidden command introduced to allow dumping
4815
the contents of a compressed btree file. (John Arbash Meinel)
4817
* ``bzr pack`` now tells the index builders to optimize for size. For
4818
btree index repositories, this can save 25% of the index size
4819
(mostly in the text indexes). (John Arbash Meinel)
4821
* ``bzr push`` to an existing branch or repository on a smart server
4822
is faster, due to Bazaar making more use of the ``get_parent_map``
4823
RPC when querying the remote branch's revision graph.
4826
* default username for bzr+ssh and sftp can be configured in
4827
authentication.conf. (Aaron Bentley)
4829
* launchpad-login now provides a default username for bzr+ssh and sftp
4830
URLs, allowing username-free URLs to work for everyone. (Aaron Bentley)
4832
* ``lp:`` lookups no longer include usernames, making them shareable and
4833
shorter. (Aaron Bentley)
4835
* New ``PackRepository.autopack`` smart server RPC, which does
4836
autopacking entirely on the server. This is much faster than
4837
autopacking via plain file methods, which downloads a large amount
4838
of pack data and then re-uploads the same pack data into a single
4839
file. This fixes a major (although infrequent) cause of lengthy
4840
delays when using a smart server. For example, pushing the 10th
4841
revision to a repository with 9 packs now takes 44 RPCs rather than
4842
179, and much less bandwidth too. This requires Bazaar 1.9 on both
4843
the client and the server, otherwise the client will fallback to the
4844
slower method. (Andrew Bennetts)
4849
* A failure to load a plugin due to an IncompatibleAPI exception is
4850
now correctly reported. (Robert Collins, #279451)
4852
* API versioning support now has a multiple-version checking api
4853
``require_any_api``. (Robert Collins, #279447)
4855
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` from a smart server to a standalone branch
4856
works again. This fixes a regression in 1.7 and 1.8.
4857
(Andrew Bennetts, #270397)
4859
* ``bzr co`` uses less memory. It used to unpack the entire WT into
4860
memory before writing it to disk. This was a little bit faster, but
4861
consumed lots of memory. (John Arbash Meinel, #269456)
4863
* ``bzr missing --quiet`` no longer prints messages about whether
4864
there are missing revisions. The exit code indicates whether there
4865
were or not. (Martin Pool, #284748)
4867
* Fixes to the ``annotate`` code. The fast-path which re-used the
4868
stored deltas was accidentally disabled all the time, instead of
4869
only when a branch was stacked. Second, the code would accidentally
4870
re-use a delta even if it wasn't against the left-parent, this
4871
could only happen if ``bzr reconcile`` decided that the parent
4872
ordering was incorrect in the file graph. (John Arbash Meinel)
4874
* "Permission denied" errors that occur when pushing a new branch to a
4875
smart server no longer cause tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #278673)
4877
* Some compatibility fixes for building the extensions with MSVC and
4878
for python2.4. (John Arbash Meinel, #277484)
4880
* The index logic is now able to reload the list of pack files if and
4881
index ends up disappearing. We still don't reload if the pack data
4882
itself goes missing after checking the index. This bug appears as a
4883
transient failure (file not found) when another process is writing
4884
to the repository. (John Arbash Meinel, #153786)
4886
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
4887
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
4888
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
4889
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
4894
* Improved hook documentation. (Michael Ernst)
4899
* commands.plugins_cmds is now a CommandRegistry, not a dict.
4904
* New AuthenticationConfig.set_credentials method allows easy programmatic
4905
configuration of authetication credentials.
4911
:Released: 2008-10-16
4913
Bazaar 1.8 includes several fixes that improve working tree performance,
4914
display of revision logs, and merges. The bzr testsuite now passes on OS
4915
X and Python 2.6, and almost completely passes on Windows. The
4916
smartserver code has gained several bug fixes and performance
4917
improvements, and can now run server-side hooks within an http server.
4922
* Fix "Must end write group" error when another error occurs during
4923
``bzr push``. (Andrew Bennetts, #230902)
4928
* Some Pyrex versions require the WIN32 macro defined to compile on
4929
that platform. (Alexander Belchenko, Martin Pool, #277481)
4935
:Released: 2008-10-07
4940
* ``bzr log file`` has been changed. It now uses a different method
4941
for determining which revisions to show as merging the changes to
4942
the file. It now only shows revisions which merged the change
4943
towards your mainline. This simplifies the output, makes it faster,
4944
and reduces memory consumption. (John Arbash Meinel)
4946
* ``bzr merge`` now defaults to having ``--reprocess`` set, whenever
4947
``--show-base`` is not supplied. (John Arbash Meinel)
4949
* ``bzr+http//`` will now optionally load plugins and write logs on the
4950
server. (Marius Kruger)
4952
* ``bzrlib._dirstate_helpers_c.pyx`` does not compile correctly with
4953
Pyrex 0.9.4.1 (it generates C code which causes segfaults). We
4954
explicitly blacklist that version of the compiler for that
4955
extension. Packaged versions will include .c files created with
4956
pyrex >= 0.9.6 so it doesn't effect releases, only users running
4957
from the source tree. (John Arbash Meinel, #276868)
4962
* bzr is now compatible with python-2.6. python-2.6 is not yet officially
4963
supported (nor released, tests were conducted with the dev version of
4964
python-2.6rc2), but all known problems have been fixed. Feedback
4966
(Vincent Ladeuil, #269535)
4971
* ``bzr annotate`` will now include uncommitted changes from the local
4972
working tree by default. Such uncommitted changes are given the
4973
revision number they would get if a commit was done, followed with a
4974
? to indicate that its not actually known. (Robert Collins, #3439)
4976
* ``bzr branch`` now accepts a ``--standalone`` option, which creates a
4977
standalone branch regardless of the presence of shared repositories.
4980
* ``bzr push`` is faster in the case there are no new revisions to
4981
push. It is also faster if there are no tags in the local branch.
4984
* File changes during a commit will update the tree stat cache.
4987
* Location aliases can now accept a trailing path. (Micheal Hudson)
4989
* New hooks ``Lock.hooks`` when LockDirs are acquired and released.
4990
(Robert Collins, MartinPool)
4992
* Switching in heavyweight checkouts uses the master branch's context, not
4993
the checkout's context. (Adrian Wilkins)
4995
* ``status`` on large trees is now faster, due to optimisations in the
4996
walkdirs code. Of particular note, the walkdirs code now performs
4997
a temporary ``chdir()`` while reading a single directory; if your
4998
platform has non thread-local current working directories (and is
4999
not windows which has its own implementation), this may introduce a
5000
race condition during concurrent uses of bzrlib. The bzrlib CLI
5001
will not encounter this as it is single threaded for working tree
5002
operations. (Robert Collins)
5004
* The C extensions now build on python 2.4 (Robert Collins, #271939)
5006
* The ``-Dhpss`` debug flag now reports the number of smart server
5007
calls per medium to stderr. This is in addition to the existing
5008
detailed logging to the .bzr.log trace file. (Andrew Bennetts)
5013
* Avoid random failures arising from misinterpreted ``errno`` values
5014
in ``_readdir_pyx.read_dir``.
5015
(Martin Pool, #279381)
5017
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
5018
repository now preserves the repository format.
5019
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
5021
* ``bzr log`` now accepts a ``--change`` option.
5022
(Vincent Ladeuil, #248427)
5024
* ``bzr missing`` now accepts an ``--include-merges`` option.
5025
(Vincent Ladeuil, #233817)
5027
* Don't try to filter (internally) '.bzr' from the files to be deleted if
5029
(Vincent Ladeuil, #272648)
5031
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
5034
* Fix TooManyConcurrentRequests errors caused by a connection failure
5035
when doing ``bzr pull`` or ``bzr merge`` from a ``bzr+ssh`` URL.
5036
(Andrew Bennetts, #246233)
5038
* Fixed ``bzr st -r branch:PATH_TO_BRANCH`` where the other branch
5039
is in a different repository than the current one.
5040
(Lukáš Lalinský, #144421)
5042
* Make the first line of the manpage preamble a comment again.
5043
(David Futcher, #242106)
5045
* Remove use of optional parameter in GSSAPI FTP support, since
5046
it breaks newer versions of Python-Kerberos. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5048
* The autopacking logic will now always create a single new pack from
5049
all of the content which it deems is worth moving. This avoids the
5050
'repack a single pack' bug and should result in better packing
5051
overall. (John Arbash Meinel, #242510, #172644)
5053
* Trivial documentation fix.
5054
(John Arbash Meinel, #270471)
5056
* ``bzr switch`` and ``bzr bind`` will now update the branch nickname if
5057
it was previously set. All checkouts will now refer to the bound branch
5058
for a nickname if one was not explicitly set.
5059
(Marius Kruger, #230903)
5064
* Explain revision/range identifiers. (Daniel Clemente)
5069
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` returns one more element in
5070
its result tuple - an optional file system hash for the hash cache
5071
to use. (Robert Collins)
5073
* ``dirstate.DirState.update_entry`` will now only calculate the sha1
5074
of a file if it is likely to be needed in determining the output
5075
of iter_changes. (Robert Collins)
5077
* The PackRepository, RepositoryPackCollection, NewPack classes have a
5078
slightly changed interface to support different index types; as a
5079
result other users of these classes need to supply the index types
5080
they want. (Robert Collins)
5085
* ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations`` has been renamed to
5086
``bzrlib.tests.per_repository`` so that we have a common structure
5087
(and it is shorter). (John Arbash Meinel, #239343)
5089
* ``LocalTransport.abspath()`` now returns a drive letter if the
5090
transport has one, fixing numerous tests on Windows.
5093
* PreviewTree is now tested via intertree_implementations.
5096
* The full test suite is passing again on OSX.
5097
(Guillermo Gonzalez, Vincent Ladeuil)
5099
* The full test suite passes when run with ``-Eallow_debug``.
5105
* A new hook, ``Branch.open``, has been added, which is called when
5106
branch objects are opened. (Robert Collins)
5108
* ``bzrlib.osutils._walkdirs_utf8`` has been refactored into common
5109
tree walking, and modular directory listing code to aid future
5110
performance optimisations and refactoring. (Robert Collins)
5112
* ``bzrlib.trace.debug_memory`` can be used to get a quick memory dump
5113
in the middle of processing. It only reports memory if
5114
``/proc/PID/status`` is available. (John Arbash Meinel)
5116
* New method ``RevisionSpec.as_tree`` for representing the revision
5117
specifier as a revision tree object. (Lukáš Lalinský)
5119
* New race-free method on MutableTree ``get_file_with_stat`` for use
5120
when generating stat cache results. (Robert Collins)
5122
* New win32utils.get_local_appdata_location() provides access to a local
5123
directory for storing data. (Mark Hammond)
5125
* To be compatible with python-2.6 a few new rules should be
5126
observed. 'message' attribute can't be used anymore in exception
5127
classes, 'sha' and 'md5' modules have been deprecated (use
5128
osutils.[md5|sha]), object__init__ and object.__new__ don't accept

5146
This release just includes an update to how the merge algorithm handles
5147
file paths when we encounter complex history.
5152
* If we encounter a criss-cross in history, use information from
5153
direct Least Common Ancestors to resolve inventory shape (locations
5154
of files, adds, deletes, etc). This is similar in concept to using
5155
``--lca`` for merging file texts, only applied to paths.

:Released: 2008-09-23
5164
This release includes many bug fixes and a few performance and feature
5165
improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for missing files and remove them,
5166
like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown files and adds them. A bit more
5167
polish has been applied to the stacking code. The b-tree indexing code has
5168
been brought in, with an eye on using it in a future repository format.
5169
There are only minor installer changes since bzr-1.7rc2.
5174
* Some small updates to the win32 installer. Include localization
5175
files found in plugins, and include the builtin distutils as part of
5176
packaging qbzr. (Mark Hammond)
5182
:Released: 2008-09-17
5184
A few bug fixes from 1.7rc1. The biggest change is a new
5185
``RemoteBranch.get_stacked_on_url`` rpc. This allows clients that are
5186
trying to access a Stacked branch over the smart protocol, to properly
5187
connect to the stacked-on location.
5192
* Branching from a shared repository on a smart server into a new
5193
repository now preserves the repository format.
5194
(Andrew Bennetts, #269214)
5196
* Branching from a stacked branch via ``bzr+ssh`` can properly connect
5197
to the stacked-on branch. (Martin Pool, #261315)
5199
* ``bzr init`` no longer re-opens the BzrDir multiple times.
5202
* Fix '_in_buffer' AttributeError when using the -Dhpss debug flag.
5209
:Released: 2008-09-09
5211
This release candidate for bzr 1.7 has several bug fixes and a few
5212
performance and feature improvements. ``bzr rm`` will now scan for
5213
missing files and remove them, like how ``bzr add`` scans for unknown
5214
files and adds them. A bit more polish has been applied to the stacking
5215
code. The b-tree indexing code has been brought in, with an eye on using
5216
it in a future repository format.
5222
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
5225
* ``bzr remove-tree`` will now refuse to remove a tree with uncommitted
5226
changes, unless the ``--force`` option is specified.
5227
(Lukáš Lalinský, #74101)
5229
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
5230
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
5231
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
5236
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
5237
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
5239
* Add support for IPv6 in the smart server. (Jelmer Vernooij, #165014)
5244
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
5245
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
5248
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
5249
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
5251
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
5252
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
5255
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
5256
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
5257
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
5258
(John Arbash Meinel)
5260
* Fix problems in accessing stacked repositories over ``bzr://``.
5261
(Martin Pool, #261315)
5263
* ``SFTPTransport.readv()`` was accidentally using ``list += string``,
5264
which 'works', but adds each character separately to the list,
5265
rather than using ``list.append(string)``. Fixing this makes the
5266
SFTP transport a little bit faster (~20%) and use a bit less memory.
5267
(John Arbash Meinel)
5269
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
5270
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
5271
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
5272
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
5273
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
5274
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
5275
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
5276
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
5277
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
5278
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
5283
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
5284
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
5286
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
5287
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
5288
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
5290
* Fix ``ObjectNotLocked`` errors when using various commands
5291
(including ``bzr cat`` and ``bzr annotate``) in combination with a
5292
smart server URL. (Andrew Bennetts, #237067)
5294
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
5295
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
5296
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
5297
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
5298
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
5299
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
5301
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
5302
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
5304
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
5305
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
5307
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
5308
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
5309
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
5310
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
5311
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
5312
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
5314
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
5315
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
5317
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
5318
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
5320
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
5321
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
5322
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
5323
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
5325
* Unexpected error responses from a smart server no longer cause the
5326
client to traceback. (Andrew Bennetts, #263527)
5328
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
5329
assuming the host name is ascii.
5330
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
5332
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
5333
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
5338
* Updated developer documentation. (Martin Pool)
5343
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
5345
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
5346
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
5347
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
5350
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
5351
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5353
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
5354
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
5356
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
5357
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
5362
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
5363
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
5364
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
5365
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
5367
* Fix some tests that fail on Windows because files are deleted while
5371
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
5372
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
5373
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
5375
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
5381
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
5382
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
5385
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
5386
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
5387
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
5388
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
5389
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5391
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
5392
is unknown in both source and target.
5393
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
5395
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
5396
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
5397
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
5398
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
5400
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
5401
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
5402
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
5403
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)

A couple regressions were found in the 1.6 release. There was a
5412
performance issue when using ``bzr+ssh`` to branch large repositories,
5413
and some problems with stacking and ``rich-root`` capable repositories.
5419
:Released: 2008-09-03
5424
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
5425
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
5426
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
5427
(John Arbash Meinel, #264321)
5433
:Released: 2008-08-29
5435
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
5436
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
5437
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
5438
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
5439
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
5440
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
5441
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
5442
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
5443
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
5444
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
5445
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
5446
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
5451
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
5452
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
5453
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
5454
start of the string (causing more copies).
5455
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
5456
especially for projects with large files.
5457
(John Arbash Meinel)
5459
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
5460
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
5461
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
5462
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
5463
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
5465
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
5466
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
5467
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
5468
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
5469
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.

Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
5479
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
5480
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
5481
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
5482
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
5483
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
5484
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
5485
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
5486
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
5492
:Released: 2008-08-19
5497
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
5498
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
5499
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
5500
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
5501
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
5507
:Released: 2008-08-18
5512
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
5513
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
5514
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
5520
:Released: 2008-08-14
5525
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
5526
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
5532
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
5533
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
5534
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
5540
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
5541
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
5542
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
5544
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
5545
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
5546
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
5547
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
5548
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
5549
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
5550
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
5556
:Released: 2008-08-13
5558
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
5564
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
5565
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
5567
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
5568
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
5571
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
5572
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
5573
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
5574
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
5575
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
5577
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
5578
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
5580
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
5581
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
5583
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
5584
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
5586
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
5587
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
5588
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
5589
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
5590
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
5591
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
5597
:Released: 2008-08-06
5599
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
5600
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
5601
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
5602
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
5603
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
5608
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
5609
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
5610
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
5615
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
5616
check. (Daniel Watkins)
5618
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
5619
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
5621
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
5622
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
5623
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
5625
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
5628
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
5629
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
5630
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
5631
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
5632
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
5633
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
5634
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
5636
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
5637
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
5638
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
5643
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
5644
physical repository boundaries.
5645
(Martin Pool, #252428)
5647
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
5648
(Martin Pool, #206258)
5650
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
5651
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
5654
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
5657
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
5658
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
5659
that Python is running from.
5660
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
5662
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
5663
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
5664
(Robert Collins, #150438)
5666
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
5667
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
5669
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
5670
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
5671
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
5673
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
5674
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
5676
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
5677
(James Westby, #248448)
5682
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
5683
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
5684
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
5687
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
5688
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
5691
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
5692
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
5693
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
5694
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
5695
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
5696
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
5699
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
5700
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
5702
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
5703
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
5704
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
5705
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
5706
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
5707
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
5712
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
5713
putting together a real history without having to create a full
5714
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
5715
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
5716
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
5717
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5719
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
5720
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
5721
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
5723
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
5726
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
5727
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
5729
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
5736
:Released: 2008-07-17
5738
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
5739
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
5740
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
5741
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
5747
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
5748
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
5749
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
5751
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
5752
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
5753
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
5754
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
5755
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
5758
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
5760
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
5761
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
5762
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
5768
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
5769
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
5772
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
5773
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
5774
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
5775
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
5777
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
5778
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
5779
(Christophe Troestler)
5781
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
5782
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
5784
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
5785
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
5786
faster. The new request method name is
5787
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
5792
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
5793
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
5794
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
5795
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
5796
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
5798
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
5799
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
5801
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
5802
requires a branch to be present.
5803
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
5805
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
5807
(Martin Pool, #205230)
5809
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
5810
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
5811
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
5812
(Martin Pool, #240161)
5814
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
5815
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
5817
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
5819
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
5821
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
5822
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
5823
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
5824
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
5825
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
5827
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
5828
(Martin Pool, #172870)
5830
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
5831
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
5833
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
5835
(Matt McClure, #209281)
5837
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
5838
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
5840
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
5841
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
5846
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
5849
* Updated developer documentation.
5855
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
5856
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
5858
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
5859
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
5860
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
5861
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
5866
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
5867
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
5868
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
5869
Repository docstring for more details.
5872
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
5873
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
5874
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
5876
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
5877
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
5880
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
5881
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
5882
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
5883
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
5888
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
5889
(Alexander Belchenko)
5891
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
5892
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
5893
containing a given location.
5896
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
5897
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
5898
storage. (Robert Collins)
5900
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
5903
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
5904
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
5911
:Released: 2008-06-10
5913
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
5914
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
5915
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
5921
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
5922
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
5923
reading from the repository.)
5924
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
5926
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
5927
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
5929
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
5930
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
5933
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
5934
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
5935
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
5937
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
5938
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
5939
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
5941
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
5942
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
5944
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
5945
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
5946
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
5947
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
5952
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
5954
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
5955
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
5956
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
5959
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
5960
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
5965
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
5970
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
5971
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
5976
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
5977
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
5978
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
5979
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
5980
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
5982
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
5983
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
5988
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
5989
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
5991
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
5992
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
5997
:Released: 2008-06-02
5999
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
6000
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
6001
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
6002
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
6003
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
6004
and future extensions.
6007
Notes When Upgrading
6008
********************
6010
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
6011
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
6012
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
6013
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
6014
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
6015
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
6016
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
6017
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
6022
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
6023
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
6024
(John Arbash Meinel)
6029
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
6030
load. (James Westby)
6035
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
6036
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
6037
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
6038
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
6040
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
6041
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
6042
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
6044
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
6045
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
6047
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
6048
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
6049
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
6051
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
6052
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
6053
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
6054
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
6055
step closer to not using full revision history.
6056
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
6061
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
6062
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
6064
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
6065
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
6067
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
6068
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
6070
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
6071
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
6072
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
6073
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
6075
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
6076
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
6077
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
6078
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
6080
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
6081
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
6082
in use by another process.
6085
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
6086
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
6087
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
6088
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
6090
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
6091
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
6093
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
6094
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
6095
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
6097
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
6098
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
6099
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
6101
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
6103
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
6105
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
6106
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
6108
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
6109
under vim on Mac OS X.
6110
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
6112
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
6113
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
6118
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
6119
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
6121
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
6122
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
6125
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
6126
and about use of Python reprs.
6127
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
6129
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
6134
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
6137
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
6138
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
6140
* New helper function for splitting test suites
6141
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
6146
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
6147
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
6148
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
6149
(John Arbash Meinel)
6154
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
6155
instead. (Martin Pool)
6157
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
6158
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
6159
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
6160
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
6162
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
6163
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
6164
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
6165
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
6166
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
6168
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
6169
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
6170
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
6171
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
6172
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
6173
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
6175
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
6176
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
6179
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
6180
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
6183
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
6184
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
6185
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
6186
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
6188
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
6189
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
6190
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
6192
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
6193
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
6194
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
6195
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
6196
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
6199
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
6200
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
6201
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
6202
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
6205
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
6206
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
6207
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
6208
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
6209
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
6211
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
6218
:Released: 2008-05-16
6220
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
6221
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
6222
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
6227
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
6228
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
6229
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
6234
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
6235
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
6242
:Released: 2008-05-09
6247
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
6248
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
6249
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
6250
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
6255
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
6256
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
6258
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
6259
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
6261
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
6267
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
6268
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
6270
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
6271
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
6273
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
6274
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
6275
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
6277
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
6278
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
6279
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
6281
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
6284
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
6285
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
6287
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
6288
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
6290
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
6291
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
6293
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
6294
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
6296
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
6297
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
6298
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
6300
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
6301
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
6303
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
6304
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
6306
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
6307
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
6308
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
6309
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
6311
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
6312
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
6315
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
6316
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
6317
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
6319
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
6320
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
6321
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
6322
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
6323
every revision each side had in common.
6324
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6326
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
6327
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
6329
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
6330
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
6331
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
6332
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
6337
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
6338
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
6339
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
6340
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
6342
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
6344
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
6346
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.

* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
6353
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
6354
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
6356
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
6357
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the -D
6358
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
6359
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
6361
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
6362
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
6364
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
6365
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
6366
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
6367
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
6369
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
6370
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
6371
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
6372
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
6377
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
6378
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
6379
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
6381
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
6383
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
6384
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
6386
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
6387
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
6389
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
6390
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
6395
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
6396
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
6397
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
6399
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
6400
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
6401
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
6404
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
6405
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
6408
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.

:Released: 2008-04-28
6417
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
6418
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
6419
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
6420
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
6421
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
6422
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
6423
and faster performance.
6428
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
6429
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
6430
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
6431
(John Arbash Meinel, Andrew Bennetts, #214894)
6437
:Released: 2008-04-21
6442
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
6443
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
6444
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
6446
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
6447
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
6449
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
6450
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
6452
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
6453
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
6454
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
6455
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
6456
every revision each side had in common.
6457
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
6463
:Released: 2008-04-11
6468
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
6470
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
6471
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
6473
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
6474
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
6475
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
6477
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
6478
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
6479
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
6480
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
6481
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
6482
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
6485
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
6486
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
6487
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
6488
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
6493
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
6495
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
6496
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
6497
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
6499
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
6500
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
6501
See the User Reference for signature details.
6502
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
6504
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
6505
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
6510
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
6511
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
6512
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
6513
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
6515
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
6516
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
6518
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
6519
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
6520
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
6523
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
6526
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
6527
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
6528
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
6530
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
6533
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
6534
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
6536
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
6537
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
6539
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
6540
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
6541
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
6543
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
6544
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
6545
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
6546
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
6547
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
6549
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
6550
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
6552
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
6553
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
6558
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
6559
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
6560
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
6561
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
6562
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
6563
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
6565
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
6566
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
6568
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
6569
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
6570
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
6572
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
6573
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
6575
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
6576
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
6577
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
6578
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
6580
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
6581
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
6582
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
6583
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
6584
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
6586
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
6588
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
6589
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
6591
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
6593
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
6594
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
6596
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
6597
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
6602
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
6604
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
6606
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
6608
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
6613
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
6614
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
6615
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
6617
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
6618
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
6619
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
6620
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
6622
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
6623
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
6624
release. (James Westby)
6626
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
6629
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
6631
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
6632
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
6634
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
6635
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
6637
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
6638
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
6640
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
6641
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
6642
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
6644
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
6645
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
6646
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
6647
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
6649
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
6650
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
6651
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
6652
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
6654
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
6655
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
6656
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
6657
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
6658
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
6659
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
6661
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
6662
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
6663
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
6665
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
6666
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
6668
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
6669
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
6672
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
6673
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
6675
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
6676
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
6678
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
6679
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
6681
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
6682
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
6683
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
6685
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
6686
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
6687
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
6688
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
6689
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
6690
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
6695
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
6696
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
6697
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
6698
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
6700
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
6701
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
6702
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
6703
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
6707
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
6708
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
6711
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
6712
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
6714
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
6716
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
6717
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
6718
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
6723
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
6725
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
6728
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
6729
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
6730
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
6731
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
6732
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
6733
(Martin Pool, #109520)
6735
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
6736
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
6738
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
6739
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
6740
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
6741
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
6743
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
6744
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
6746
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
6747
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
6797
********************
6799
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
6800
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
6805
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
6806
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
6807
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
6808
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
6811
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
6812
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
6813
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
6814
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
6815
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
6816
(Alexander Belchenko, #106117)
6818
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
6819
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
6820
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
6821
(Alexander Belchenko)
6823
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
6825
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
6826
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
6831
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
6832
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
6834
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
6835
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
6841
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
6843
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
6845
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
6846
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
6847
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
6849
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
6850
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
6852
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
6853
to. (Daniel Watkins)
6855
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
6856
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
6857
(Alexander Belchenko)
6859
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
6860
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
6861
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
6862
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
6864
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
6867
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
6868
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
6869
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
6870
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
6871
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
6876
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
6877
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
6878
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
6879
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
6881
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
6882
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
6884
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
6885
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)

* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
6888
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.

6891
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.

6894
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
6897
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
6898
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
6900
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
6902
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
6904
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
6905
symlinks (James Henstridge)
6907
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
6908
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
6910
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
6911
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
6913
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
6914
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
6916
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
6917
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
6919
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
6920
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
6925
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
6926
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
6931
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
6932
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
6933
(Alexander Belchenko)
6938
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
6940
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
6941
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
6947
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
6948
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
6949
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
6951
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
6952
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
6953
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
6954
(Alexander Belchenko)
6956
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
6957
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
6958
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
6959
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
6961
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
6962
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
6963
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
6966
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
6967
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
6968
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
6970
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
6971
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
6972
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
6974
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
6975
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
6976
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
6977
format. (Robert Collins)

Notes When Upgrading
6997
********************
6999
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
7000
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
7001
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
7002
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
7003
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
7009
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
7010
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
7012
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
7013
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
7014
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
7016
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
7017
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
7018
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
7019
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
7020
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
7021
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
7027
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
7028
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
7030
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
7031
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
7032
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
7035
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
7036
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
7037
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
7038
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
7039
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
7041
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
7042
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
7043
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
7044
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
7045
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
7046
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
7047
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
7048
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
7053
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
7054
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
7056
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
7057
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
7059
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
7060
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
7062
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
7063
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
7064
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
7066
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
7067
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
7068
(John Arbash Meinel)
7073
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
7074
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
7076
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
7077
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
7079
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
7080
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
7082
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
7083
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
7084
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
7086
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
7087
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
7088
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
7090
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
7091
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
7093
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
7094
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
7095
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
7096
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
7097
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
7099
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
7101
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
7102
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
7105
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
7106
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
7108
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
7109
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
7111
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
7112
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123363)
7114
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
7115
more characters which should be considered valid.
7116
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
7118
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
7119
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
7121
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
7122
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
7127
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
7128
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
7130
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
7131
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
7137
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
7138
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
7144
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
7145
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
7146
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
7148
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
7149
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
7150
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
7152
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
7153
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
7154
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
7155
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
7157
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
7159
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
7160
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
7161
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
7162
server. (Robert Collins)
7164
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
7165
operate. (Robert Collins)
7167
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
7168
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
7169
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
7171
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
7172
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
7173
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
7174
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
7176
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
7177
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
7179
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
7180
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
7181
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
7183
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
7184
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
7186
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
7187
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
7189
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
7190
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
7191
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
7192
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

7205
:Released: 2008-01-05
7210
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
7211
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
7212
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
7213
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
7215
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
7216
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
7217
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
7218
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
7223
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
7226
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
7229
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
7230
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
7235
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
7238
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
7239
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
7240
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
7242
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
7244
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
7245
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
7246
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
7247
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
7248
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
7250
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
7251
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
7252
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
7254
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
7255
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
7257
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
7260
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
7262
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
7264
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
7267
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
7268
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
7273
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
7274
(Martin Pool, #180208)
7276
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
7277
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
7279
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
7282
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
7283
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
7285
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
7286
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
7288
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
7289
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
7291
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
7292
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
7294
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
7295
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
7296
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
7298
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
7299
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
7301
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
7302
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
7305
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
7307
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
7308
user:pass embedded in the urls.
7309
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
7311
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
7312
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
7314
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
7317
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
7320
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
7321
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
7323
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
7326
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
7327
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
7330
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
7331
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
7332
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
7337
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
7340
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
7341
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
7342
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
7343
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
7344
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
7345
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
7347
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)

(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
7358
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
7360
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
7361
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
7362
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
7365
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
7366
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
7368
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
7377
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
7378
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
7379
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
7381
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
7382
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
7385
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
7386
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
7388
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
7389
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
7391
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
7392
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
7394
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
7395
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
7396
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
7398
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
7399
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
7401
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
7402
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
7404
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
7405
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
7408
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
7409
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
7411
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
7412
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

7451
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
7453
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
7454
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
7455
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
7456
feedback but also incur more latency.

* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
7460
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
7465
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
7467
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
7473
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the

7495
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
7496
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by

* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
7503
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
7504
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
7506
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
7507
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
7508
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
7510
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
7511
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
7512
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
7513
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
7514
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
7515
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
7516
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
7517
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
7518
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)

Notes When Upgrading
7562
********************
7564
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
7565
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
7566
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
7567
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
7569
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
7570
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
7572
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
7573
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
7575
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
7576
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
7577
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
7578
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
7579
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
7580
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
7581
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
7582
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
7583
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
7584
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
7585
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
7586
from any tree without problems.
7587

* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor

still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
7594
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
7596
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
7597
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
7603
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
7604
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
7605
supported transports.
7608
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
7609
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
7610
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
7612
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
7613
(Robert Collins, #154173)
7615
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
7616
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
7617
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
7618
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
7620
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
7621
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
7626
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
7627
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
7628
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
7629
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
7631
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
7632
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
7633
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
7634
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
7636
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
7637
(Robert Collins, #88319)
7639
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
7640
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
7642
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
7643
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
7645
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
7646
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
7652
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
7655
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
7656
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
7659
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
7660
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
7661
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
7662
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
7664
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
7665
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
7666
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
7667
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
7675
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
7676
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
7678
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
7679
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
7681
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
7682
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
7684
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
7685
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
7687
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
7688
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
7690
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
7691
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
7693
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
7694
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
7696
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
7699
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
7700
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
7702
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
7703
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
7704
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
7706
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
7707
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
7709
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
7710
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
7712
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
7713
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
7715
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
7716
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
7718
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
7719
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
7720
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
7721
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
7723
(Martin Pool, #164637)
7725
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
7726
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
7727
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
7729
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
7730
(Robert Collins, #161240)
7732
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
7734
(Martin Pool, #164443)
7736
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
7737
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
7739
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
7740
specify a port in urls.
7741
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
7743
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
7744
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
7746
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
7747
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
7749
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
7750
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
7752
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
7753
(Robert Collins, #153789)
7755
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
7756
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
7757
(Robert Collins, #165304).
7759
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
7761
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
7762
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
7764
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
7767
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
7768
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
7770
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
7771
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
7773
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
7774
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
7775
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
7777
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
7778
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
7780
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
7781
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
7782
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
7783
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
7785
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
7786
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
7788
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
7789
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
7790
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
7792
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
7793
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
7795
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
7796
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
7798
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
7799
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
7804
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
7805
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
7807
* The return value of
7808
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
7809
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
7810
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
7811
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
7813
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
7816
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
7817
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
7824
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
7825
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
7826
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
7829
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
7830
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
7832
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
7838
:Released: 2007-11-05
7843
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
7849
:Released: 2007-10-29
7854
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
7855
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
7857
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
7858
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
7859
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
7860
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
7861
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
7862
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
7863
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
7864
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
7865
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
7866
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
7867
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
7868
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
7874
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
7875
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
7876
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
7877
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
7878
commands. (Robert Collins)
7880
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
7881
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
7882
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
7885
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
7887
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
7888
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
7890
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
7891
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
7894
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
7895
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
7896
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
7901
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
7902
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
7904
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
7905
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
7907
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
7908
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
7909
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
7910
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
7912
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
7915
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
7916
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
7917
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
7918
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
7920
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
7921
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
7923
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
7924
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
7926
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
7927
the contents. (Robert Collins)
7929
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
7930
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
7935
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
7936
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
7938
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
7939
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
7941
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
7942
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
7944
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
7945
(Martin Pool, #63894)
7947
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
7948
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
7953
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
7955
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
7961
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
7962
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
7963
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
7965
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
7966
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
7968
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
7969
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
7971
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
7972
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
7973
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
7974
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
7976
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
7977
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
7978
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
7979
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
7980
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
7982
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
7983
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
7985
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
7987
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
7989
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
7990
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
7992
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
7993
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
7995
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
7996
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
7998
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
7999
contains a symbolic link.
8000
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
8002
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
8003
(James Westby, #140615)
8005
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
8006
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
8007
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
8009
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
8010
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
8011
(Martin Pool, #144633)
8013
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
8015
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
8016
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
8018
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
8020
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
8022
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
8023
directory to detect leaking tests.
8024
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
8026
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
8027
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
8028
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
8030
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
8033
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
8034
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
8036
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
8042
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
8043
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
8045
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
8046
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
8047
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
8049
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
8050
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
8051
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
8053
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
8054
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
8056
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
8057
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
8059
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
8060
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
8063
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
8064
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
8066
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
8067
class that needs it.
8070
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
8071
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
8073
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
8074
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
8075
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
8077
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
8078
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
8079
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
8082
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
8083
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
8084
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
8085
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
8091
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
8092
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
8093
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
8095
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
8096
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
8097
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
8098
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
8100
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
8101
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
8104
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
8105
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
8106
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
8108
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
8109
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
8110
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
8112
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
8113
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
8115
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
8116
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
8117
to complete. (Robert Collins)
8119
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
8120
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
8122
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
8123
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
8124
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
8126
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
8127
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
8128
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
8130
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
8131
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
8132
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
8133
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
8135
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
8136
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
8137
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
8138
returned. (Robert Collins)
8140
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
8141
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
8143
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
8144
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
8145
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
8146
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
8149
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
8150
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
8155
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
8156
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
8158
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
8159
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
8160
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
8161
makes this behavior available to other users.
8164
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
8165
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
8171
:Released: 2007-09-26
8176
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
8177
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
8178
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
8180
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
8182
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
8183
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
8184
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
8185
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
8187
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
8188
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
8195
:Released: 2007-09-11
8197
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
8198
in bzrlib/remote.py.
8204
:Released: 2007-09-11
8209
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
8210
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
8211
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
8212
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
8215
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
8216
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
8217
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
8223
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
8224
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
8225
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
8228
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
8229
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
8230
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
8232
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
8233
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
8234
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
8236
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
8237
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
8239
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
8240
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
8241
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
8242
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
8243
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
8244
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
8245
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
8246
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
8247
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
8248
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
8250
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
8251
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
8253
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
8254
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
8255
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
8260
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
8261
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
8263
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
8264
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
8265
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
8267
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
8268
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
8270
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
8271
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
8273
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
8276
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
8277
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
8279
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
8280
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
8282
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
8283
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
8285
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
8286
(Blake Winton, #129299)
8288
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
8290
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
8293
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
8294
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
8295
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
8296
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
8298
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
8300
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
8301
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
8304
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
8305
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
8307
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
8308
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
8311
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
8312
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
8314
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
8315
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
8317
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
8318
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
8319
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
8320
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
8321
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
8322
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
8323
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
8325
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
8326
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
8328
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
8329
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
8331
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
8332
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
8334
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
8335
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
8337
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
8339
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
8341
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
8342
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
8344
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
8345
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
8346
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
8348
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
8349
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
8350
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
8355
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
8356
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
8358
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
8361
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
8364
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
8365
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
8367
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
8369
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
8370
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
8372
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
8373
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
8375
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
8376
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
8377
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
8378
space). (Robert Collins)
8380
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
8381
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
8384
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
8385
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
8387
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
8388
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
8390
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
8391
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
8392
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
8393
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
8395
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
8396
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
8397
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
8400
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
8403
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
8404
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
8405
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
8407
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
8408
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
8409
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
8410
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
8411
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
8416
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
8417
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
8419
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
8420
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
8421
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
8422
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
8423
affected. (Robert Collins)
8425
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
8426
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
8427
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
8430
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
8431
previous release. (Martin Pool)
8436
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
8437
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
8439
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
8440
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
8442
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
8443
previous release. (Martin Pool)
8445
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
8448
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
8449
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
8454
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
8455
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
8456
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
8457
its version information. (Robert Collins)
8459
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
8460
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
8462
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
8463
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
8464
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
8465
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
8467
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
8468
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
8469
present. (Robert Collins)
8471
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
8472
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
8473
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
8474
API. (Robert Collins)
8476
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
8477
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
8480
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
8481
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
8483
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
8484
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
8485
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
8486
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
8487
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
8488
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
8490
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
8491
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
8492
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
8494
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
8495
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
8496
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
8497
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
8500
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
8503
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
8504
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
8505
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
8506
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
8507
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
8508
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
8509
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
8511
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
8512
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
8513
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
8514
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
8516
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
8517
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
8518
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
8519
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
8520
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
8521
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
8523
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
8524
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
8525
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
8527
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
8528
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
8534
:Released: 2007-08-28
8539
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
8540
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
8541
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
8542
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
8543
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
8544
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
8545
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
8546
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
8552
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
8553
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
8554
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
8560
:Released: 2007-08-14
8565
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
8566
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
8567
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
8568
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
8569
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
8571
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
8572
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
8574
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
8576
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
8578
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
8579
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
8582
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
8583
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
8586
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
8589
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
8590
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
8592
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
8593
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
8595
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
8596
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
8598
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
8599
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
8601
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
8602
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
8604
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
8610
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
8611
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
8613
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
8614
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
8616
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
8617
the repository (Robert Collins)
8619
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
8620
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
8621
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
8622
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
8623
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
8625
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
8626
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
8628
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
8629
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
8630
(John Arbash Meinel)
8632
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
8633
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
8634
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
8636
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
8637
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
8638
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
8639
(John Arbash Meinel)
8641
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
8642
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
8645
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
8646
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
8648
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
8651
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
8653
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
8655
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
8656
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
8658
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
8659
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
8662
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
8663
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
8664
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
8665
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
8667
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
8668
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
8669
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
8671
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
8672
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
8673
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
8675
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
8676
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
8678
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
8679
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
8680
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
8681
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
8682
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
8683
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
8686
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
8687
(Alexander Belchenko)
8689
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
8690
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
8692
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
8693
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
8695
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
8697
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
8698
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
8703
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
8704
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
8705
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
8706
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
8708
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
8710
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
8713
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
8714
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
8715
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
8716
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
8717
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
8718
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
8723
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
8724
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
8725
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
8726
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
8728
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
8729
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
8730
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
8731
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
8732
tests have been refactored too.
8735
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
8736
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
8737
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
8741
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
8742
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
8743
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
8745
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
8746
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
8747
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
8748
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
8749
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
8750
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
8751
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
8753
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
8754
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
8755
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
8756
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
8757
(John Arbash Meinel)
8759
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
8760
functionality for testing.
8762
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
8764
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
8765
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
8767
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
8769
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
8772
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
8773
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
8775
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
8776
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
8777
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
8779
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
8782
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
8783
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
8785
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
8786
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
8787
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
8788
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
8790
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
8791
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
8793
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
8794
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
8795
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
8797
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
8800
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
8801
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
8802
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
8803
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
8804
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
8805
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
8807
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
8808
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
8809
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
8810
many files. (Robert Collins)
8812
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
8813
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
8814
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
8815
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
8820
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
8821
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
8822
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
8824
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
8825
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
8827
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
8828
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
8829
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
8846
:Released: 2007-07-10
8851
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
8852
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
8854
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
8855
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
8856
(James Westby, #122656)
8858
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
8859
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
8861
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
8862
authentication header.
8863
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
8865
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
8867
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
8868
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
8870
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
8872
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
8873
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)

* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
8876
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
8877
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
8879
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
8880
individually and as part of revision ranges.
8881
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
8883
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
8884
(Martin Pool, #109169)
8886
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
8887
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
8889
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
8890
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
8892
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
8894
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
8899
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
8900
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
8901
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
8902
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
8903
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
8904
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
8906
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
8907
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
8908
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
8910
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
8913
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
8914
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
8916
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
8917
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
8919
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
8920
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
8922
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
8923
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
8924
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
8925
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
8926
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
8928
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
8929
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
8931
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
8932
can be slow it is useful feedback).
8933
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
8935
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
8936
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
8938
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
8940
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
8941
output. (Aaron Bentley)
8943
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
8944
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
8947
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
8950
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
8951
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
8953
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
8954
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
8956
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
8957
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
8959
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
8961
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
8962
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
8964
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
8970
* Testing cleanups -
8971
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
8972
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
8973
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
8974
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
8975
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
8976
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
8977
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
8978
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
8979
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
8980
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
8981
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
8982
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
8983
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
8984
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
8985
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
8986
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
8987
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
8990
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
8992
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
8993
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
8994
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
8996
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
8997
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
8999
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
9000
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
9002
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
9004
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
9005
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
9006
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
9007
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
9008
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
9009
same location. (Robert Collins)
9014
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
9016
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
9018
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
9020
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
9023
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
9026
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
9027
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
9028
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
9030
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
9032
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
9033
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
9034
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
9036
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
9037
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
9039
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
9040
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
9041
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
9043
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
9044
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
9045
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
9047
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
9048
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
9049
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
9051
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
9052
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
9055
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
9056
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
9058
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
9059
(Alexander Belchenko)
9064
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
9065
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
9066
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
9067
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
9069
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
9070
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
9071
testing. (Robert Collins)
9073
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
9074
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
9076
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
9077
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
9078
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
9079
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
9080
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
9081
attribute during the test parameterisation in
9082
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
9084
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
9085
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
9086
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
9087
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
9089
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
9090
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
9092
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
9093
avoid useless cloning.

Notes When Upgrading
9118
********************
9120
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
9121
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
9122
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
9123
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
9124
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
9125
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
9126
and unlock() like so::
9128
work_tree.lock_read()
9130
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
9136
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
9137
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
9139
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
9140
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
9141
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
9143
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
9144
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
9145
too. (Robert Collins)
9150
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
9151
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
9154
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
9155
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
9157
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
9158
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
9160
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
9161
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
9162
understanding what changes have occurred
9163
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
9165
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
9166
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
9167
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
9169
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
9170
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
9171
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
9172
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
9174
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
9180
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
9181
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
9182
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
9183
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
9184
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
9186
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
9187
based on split paths, not just string paths.
9188
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
9190
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
9191
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
9193
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
9195
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
9197
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
9198
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
9200
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
9201
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
9203
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
9204
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
9206
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
9207
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
9209
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
9210
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
9212
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
9213
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
9214
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
9219
:Released: 2007-05-07
9224
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
9225
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
9226
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
9227
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
9228
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
9230
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
9231
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
9232
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
9234
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
9235
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
9240
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
9241
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
9242
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
9244
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
9245
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
9246
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
9247
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
9252
:Released: 2007-04-30
9257
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
9258
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
9259
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
9260
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
9262
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
9263
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
9264
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
9266
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
9267
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
9269
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
9270
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
9272
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
9273
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
9278
:Released: 2007-04-26
9280
Notes When Upgrading
9281
********************
9283
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
9284
it could be recovered again.
9285
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
9286
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
9287
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
9289
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
9291
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
9292
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
9297
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
9298
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
9300
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
9301
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
9302
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
9303
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
9305
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
9306
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
9308
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
9309
tests with names that match that regular expression.
9310
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
9312
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
9313
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
9314
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
9316
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
9317
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
9318
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
9320
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
9321
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
9324
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
9327
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
9328
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
9329
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
9330
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
9332
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
9335
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
9336
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
9337
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
9340
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
9341
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
9343
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
9344
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
9346
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
9347
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
9348
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
9349
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
9352
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
9353
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
9355
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
9356
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
9358
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
9359
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
9360
(Robert Collins, #107125).
9362
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
9363
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
9364
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
9366
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
9367
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
9368
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
9370
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
9371
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
9372
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
9373
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
9375
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
9376
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
9377
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
9378
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
9380
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
9381
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
9382
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
9383
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
9384
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
9385
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
9386
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
9387
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
9394
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
9395
code paths. (Robert Collins)
9397
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
9398
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
9399
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
9400
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
9401
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
9403
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
9404
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
9406
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
9407
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
9409
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
9410
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
9412
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
9413
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
9415
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
9416
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
9417
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
9420
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
9421
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
9422
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
9423
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
9424
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
9427
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
9428
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
9429
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
9431
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
9432
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
9435
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
9436
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
9437
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
9440
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
9441
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
9442
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
9443
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
9444
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
9446
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
9447
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
9448
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
9449
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
9451
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
9452
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
9454
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
9455
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
9456
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
9457
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
9458
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
9459
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
9461
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
9462
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
9464
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
9465
help. (Robert Collins)
9467
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
9468
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
9470
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
9471
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
9472
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
9473
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
9474
(John Arbash Meinel)
9476
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
9477
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
9478
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
9479
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
9480
useful. (Robert Collins)
9482
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
9488
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
9489
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
9491
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
9492
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
9494
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
9495
properly and is no longer beneficial.
9496
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
9498
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
9501
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
9502
the file, and does it faster.
9503
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
9505
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
9506
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
9507
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
9509
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
9510
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
9511
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
9512
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
9514
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
9515
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
9516
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
9517
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
9519
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
9520
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
9522
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
9523
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
9524
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
9525
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
9528
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
9530
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
9531
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
9533
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
9534
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
9536
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
9537
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
9538
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
9539
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
9543
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
9544
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
9549
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
9550
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
9551
in running it. (Robert Collins)
9553
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
9554
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
9556
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
9557
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
9558
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
9559
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
9560
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
9561
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
9562
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
9563
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
9565
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
9566
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
9567
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
9569
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
9570
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
9571
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
9572
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
9573
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
9575
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
9577
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
9578
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
9579
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
9581
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
9582
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
9588
:Released: 2007-04-01
9593
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
9596
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
9597
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
9603
:Released: 2007-03-26
9608
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
9609
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
9615
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
9616
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
9617
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
9618
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
9619
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
9620
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
9621
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
9622
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
9628
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
9629
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
9630
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
9632
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
9633
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
9636
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
9637
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
9638
(John Arbash Meinel)
9640
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
9641
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
9642
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
9643
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
9644
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
9649
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
9652
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
9653
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
9655
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
9656
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
9658
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
9659
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
9660
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
9662
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
9663
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
9665
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
9666
last-changed-revision for directories. The
9667
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
9668
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
9669
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
9671
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
9672
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
9673
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
9675
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

9683
Notes When Upgrading
9684
********************
9686
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
9687
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
9688
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
9693
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
9694
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
9696
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
9697
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
9699
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
9701
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
9702
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
9704
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
9705
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
9710
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
9716
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
9717
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
9718
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
9719
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
9721
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
9722
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
9724
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
9725
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
9727
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
9730
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
9731
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
9737
:Released: 2007-03-07
9742
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
9743
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
9744
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
9745
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
9746
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
9747
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
9749
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
9750
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
9751
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
9752
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
9753
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
9754
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
9756
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
9758
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
9759
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
9760
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
9761
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
9762
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
9763
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
9764
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
9765
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
9770
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
9771
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
9773
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
9774
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
9775
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
9776
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
9778
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
9779
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
9780
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
9781
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
9782
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
9784
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
9787
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
9790
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
9793
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
9794
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
9797
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
9800
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
9801
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
9803
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
9804
directory. (Martin Pool)
9806
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
9807
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
9808
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
9809
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
9811
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
9812
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
9813
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
9814
in docs/configuration.txt.
9816
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
9817
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
9820
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
9821
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
9822
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
9823
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
9824
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
9825
repositories. (Martin Pool)
9827
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
9828
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
9830
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
9831
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
9833
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
9839
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
9840
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
9841
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
9842
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
9843
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
9844
(John Arbash Meinel)
9846
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
9847
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
9850
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
9851
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
9852
(John Arbash Meinel)
9854
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
9855
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
9856
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
9857
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
9858
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
9859
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
9861
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
9862
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
9863
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
9865
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
9866
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
9867
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
9868
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
9870
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
9872
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
9873
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
9874
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
9875
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
9877
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
9878
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
9879
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
9880
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
9882
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
9883
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
9884
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
9886
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
9887
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
9888
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
9890
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
9891
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
9892
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
9893
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
9895
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
9896
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
9897
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
9899
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
9900
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
9901
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
9903
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
9904
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
9905
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
9906
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
9907
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
9908
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
9909
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
9910
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
9911
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
9912
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
9913
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
9918
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
9919
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
9920
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
9922
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
9925
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
9926
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
9927
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
9928

9930
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
9931

9934
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches

* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
9940
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.

9964
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

9975
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)

* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
9981
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
9982
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
9984
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
9985
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
9986
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
9992
:Released: 2007-01-16
9997
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
9998
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
9999
server, then you can write over the http connection.
10000
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
10002
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
10005
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
10006
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
10007
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
10009
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
10010
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
10012
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
10015
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
10016
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
10017
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
10018
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
10019
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
10020
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
10022
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
10023
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
10024
should enable you to do::
10026
[/home/user/project]
10027
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
10028
push_location:policy = appendpath
10030
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
10031
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
10034
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
10035
for each file. For example::
10037
$ bzr status --short
10043
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
10044
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
10046
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
10048
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
10049
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
10051
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
10056
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
10057
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
10058
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
10059
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
10061
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
10062
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
10063
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
10065
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
10067
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
10068
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
10069
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
10070
(Alexander Belchenko)
10072
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
10075
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
10076
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
10078
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
10083
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
10084
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
10086
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
10087
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
10088
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
10089
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
10090
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
10092
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
10093
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
10095
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
10096
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
10098
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
10100
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
10102
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
10103
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
10104
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
10105
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
10106
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
10108
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
10109
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
10110
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
10111
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
10113
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
10114
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
10116
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
10117
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
10119
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.

* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
10143
tree from a branch.
10144
(Daniel Silverstone)
10146
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
10147
operations are substantially faster.
10148
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
10150
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
10151
tree from some other url. For example:
10152
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
10153
(Daniel Silverstone)
10155
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
10156
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
10157
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
10158
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
10160
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
10163
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
10164
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
10165
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
10166
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
10167
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
10168
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
10173
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
10174
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
10177
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
10178
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
10179
(John Arbash Meinel)
10181
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
10182
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
10183
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
10184
(John Arbash Meinel)
10186
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
10187
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
10189
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
10190
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
10192
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
10193
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
10199
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
10200
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
10201
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
10203
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
10204
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
10205
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
10206
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
10208
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
10210
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
10211
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
10213
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
10214
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
10215
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
10216
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
10218
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
10219
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
10220
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
10222
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
10223
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
10224
them as full references rather than integers.
10225
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
10227
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
10228
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
10230
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
10232
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
10233
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
10235
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
10236
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
10238
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
10239
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
10240
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
10241
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
10243
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
10244
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
10245
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
10247
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
10248
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
10250
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
10251
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
10252
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
10253
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.

* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
10283
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
10284
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
10285
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
10287
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
10288
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
10290
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
10292
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
10293
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
10294
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
10295
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
10297
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
10298
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
10299
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
10300
to allow modules to be loaded on request.

API Incompatability
10304
*******************
10306
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
10307
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
10312
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
10313
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
10314
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
10316
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
10317
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
10318
(John Arbash Meinel)
10320
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
10321
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
10322
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
10324
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
10325
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
10328
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
10329
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
10330
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
10332
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
10333
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
10334
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
10335
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
10336
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
10337
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
10339
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
10340
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
10341
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
10344
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
10345
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
10350
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
10351
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
10352
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
10355
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
10356
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
10358
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
10359
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
10360
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
10362
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
10363
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
10365
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
10366
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
10367
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
10368
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
10370
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
10371
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
10373
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
10374
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
10375
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
10377
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
10378
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
10380
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
10382
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
10383
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
10389
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
10390
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
10391
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
10392
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
10394
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
10395
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
10396
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)

* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
10427
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
10428
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
10429
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
10430
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
10431
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
10432
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
10434
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
10435
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
10436
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
10438
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
10440
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
10441
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
10443
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
10444
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
10445
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
10448
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
10449
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
10450
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.

* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based

which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
10459
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
10460
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
10461
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
10462
(John Arbash Meinel)
10467
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
10468
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
10470
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
10472
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
10473
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
10474
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
10476
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
10477
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
10479
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
10480
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
10482
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
10483
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
10485
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
10486
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
10488
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
10490
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
10491
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
10493
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
10494
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
10496
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
10497
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
10499
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
10500
(John Arbash Meinel)
10502
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
10503
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
10504
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
10506
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
10507
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
10509
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
10510
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
10511
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
10512
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
10514
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
10515
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
10516
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
10518
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
10519
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
10524
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
10529
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
10530
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
10531
(John Arbash Meinel)
10533
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
10534
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
10535
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
10536
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
10538
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
10541
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
10542
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
10543
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
10545
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
10546
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
10548
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
10549
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
10550
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
10552
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
10553
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
10554
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
10555
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
10556
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
10557
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
10558
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
10559
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
10560
caller to repeat their request.
10561
(John Arbash Meinel)
10563
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
10564
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
10566
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
10567
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
10569
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
10570
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
10571
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
10572
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
10573
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
10574
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
10575
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
10577
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
10578
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
10579
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
10580
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
10581
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
10582
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
10583
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
10584
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
10587
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
10588
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
10589
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
10591
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
10592
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
10594
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
10595
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
10597
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
10598
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
10603
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
10604
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
10606
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
10607
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
10608
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
10610
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
10611
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
10612
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
10617
:Released: 2006-08-29
10621
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
10622
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
10624
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
10625
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
10626
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
10627
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
10628
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
10630
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
10631
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
10632
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
10634
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
10635
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
10637
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
10638
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
10639
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
10644
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
10646
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
10647
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
10648
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
10650
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
10652
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
10654
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
10655
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
10656
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
10657
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
10659
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
10660
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
10661
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
10662
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
10663
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
10665
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
10666
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
10668
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
10669
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
10671
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
10672
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
10674
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
10675
in handling of revision properties.
10676
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
10678
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
10679
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
10684
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
10685
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
10686
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
10687
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
10688
(John Arbash Meinel)
10690
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
10691
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
10692
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
10697
:Released: 2006-08-11
10702
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
10703
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
10704
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
10705
specific one '.bzrignore'.
10706
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
10707
a more conservative list than the old default.
10708
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
10709
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
10710
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
10711
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
10713
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
10714
to more locations than just branch locations.
10720
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
10721
revno:N:branch. For example,
10722
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
10723
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
10725
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
10726
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
10727
the path of a file that has been versioned.
10728
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
10729
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
10730
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
10731
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
10732
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
10735
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
10736
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
10737
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
10740
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
10741
(Alexander Belchenko)
10743
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
10745
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
10748
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
10749
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
10750
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
10751
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
10752
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
10753
(John Arbash Meinel)
10755
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
10756
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
10757
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
10758
grained analysis of performance.
10759
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
10761
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
10762
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
10764
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
10765
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
10766
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
10767
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
10768
file. (Robert Collins).
10770
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
10771
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
10772
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
10774
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
10775
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
10778
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
10779
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
10781
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
10782
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
10783
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
10784
the same way you would apply another branch.
10785
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
10787
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
10788
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
10790
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
10793
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
10796
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
10797
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
10798
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
10800
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
10801
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
10802
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
10804
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
10805
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
10807
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
10808
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
10809
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
10810
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
10811
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
10813
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
10814
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
10816
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
10817
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
10818
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
10819
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
10820
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
10821
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
10822
branch is as much as 4x faster.
10823
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
10825
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
10826
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
10827
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
10832
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
10834
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
10836
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
10837
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
10839
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
10840
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
10842
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
10843
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
10845
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
10847
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
10848
(John Arbash Meinel)
10850
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
10851
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
10853
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
10854
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
10857
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
10858
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
10860
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
10861
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
10863
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
10864
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
10865
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
10866
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
10868
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
10869
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
10871
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
10873
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
10874
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
10876
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
10878
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
10880
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
10881
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
10883
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
10884
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
10886
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
10887
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
10888
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
10890
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
10891
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
10892
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
10894
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
10895
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
10897
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
10898
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
10900
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
10901
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
10903
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
10904
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
10906
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
10907
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
10909
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
10910
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
10911
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
10913
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
10915
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
10916
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
10921
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
10922
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
10923
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
10925
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
10926
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
10928
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
10929
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
10930
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
10932
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
10933
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
10935
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
10936
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
10939
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
10940
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
10941
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
10943
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
10944
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
10945
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
10947
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
10948
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
10949
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
10951
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
10952
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
10953
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
10955
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
10956
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
10957
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
10959
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
10960
instead. (Robert Collins)
10962
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
10967

:Released: 2006-05-16
10982
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
10983
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
10985
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
10986
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
10988
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
10989
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
10990
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
10995
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
10997
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.

(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
11000
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
11005
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
11006
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
11007
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
11008
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
11013
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
11014
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
11015
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
11020
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
11021
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
11022
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
11027
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
11028
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)

Notes When Upgrading
11036
********************
11038
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
11039
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
11040
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
11041
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
11042
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
11043
will keep the same format.
11045
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
11046
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
11047
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
11048
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
11049
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
11051
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
11052
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
11053
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
11054
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
11055
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
11056
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
11057
indicating the current revision of the branch.
11059
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
11060
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
11061
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
11062
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
11063
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
11065
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
11066
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
11067
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
11074
* sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
11075
convention. Paths now take the form::
11077
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
11079
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
11081
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
11082
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
11084
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
11085
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
11086
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
11088
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
11089
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
11090
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
11091
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
11093
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
11094
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
11095
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
11097
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
11099
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
11101
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
11102
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
11105
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
11106
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
11107
| xargs bzr re-sign
11109
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
11111
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
11112
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
11113
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
11116
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
11118
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
11120
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
11123
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
11124
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
11126
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
11127
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
11128
Daniel Silverstone)
11130
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
11131
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
11134
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
11136
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
11138
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
11139
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
11141
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
11142
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
11143
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
11144
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
11145
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
11146
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
11148
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
11150
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
11151
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
11154
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
11155
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
11157
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
11158
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
11160
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
11162
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
11163
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
11164
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
11165
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
11166
specification by Martin Pool.
11167
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
11169
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
11172
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
11173
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
11175
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
11176
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
11177
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
11179
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
11181
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
11182
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
11188
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
11189
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
11191
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
11193
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
11195
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
11198
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
11199
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
11200
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
11201
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
11206
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
11207
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
11208
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
11209
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
11211
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
11212
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
11213
tried. (Martin Pool)
11215
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
11218
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
11220
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
11221
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
11222
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
11224
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
11225
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
11227
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
11228
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
11229
paths. (Robert Collins)
11231
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
11232
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
11233
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
11235
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
11236
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
11237
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
11239
* Progress bars are now nested - see
11240
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
11241
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
11243
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
11246
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
11249
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
11251
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
11253
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
11254
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
11255
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
11258
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
11259
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
11261
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
11262
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
11263
check. (Robert Collins)
11265
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
11266
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
11271
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
11272
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
11274
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
11275
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
11276
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
11277
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
11279
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
11280
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
11281
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
11282
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
11283
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
11285
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
11286
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
11287
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
11289
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
11291
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
11292
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
11297
:Released: 2006-01-09
11302
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
11303
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
11305
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
11306
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
11307
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
11310
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
11311
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
11313
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
11314
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
11315
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
11316
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
11317
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
11319
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
11320
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
11321
used. (Robert Collins)
11323
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
11324
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
11327
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
11328
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
11329
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
11331
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
11334
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
11335
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
11340
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
11341
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
11343
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
11345
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
11347
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
11348
tree. (Robert Collins)
11350
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
11351
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
11352
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
11355
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
11358
* Tweaks to short log printing
11360
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
11363
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
11364
occurs. (Martin Pool)
11366
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
11367
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
11369
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
11370
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
11372
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
11373
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
11374
settings. (Magnus Therning)
11376
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
11377
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
11379
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
11380
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
11383
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
11384
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
11386
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
11387
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
11389
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
11390
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
11392
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
11395
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
11396
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
11398
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
11399
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
11401
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
11402
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
11403
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
11408
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
11410
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
11412
* Error when run with -OO
11414
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
11417
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
11419
* Change status to 3 for all errors
11421
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
11422
ignored by diff and status
11424
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
11425
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
11427
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
11429
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
11431
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
11432
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
11434
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
11435
email address. (Marien Zwart)
11437
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
11440
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
11441
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
11443
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
11445
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
11446
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
11448
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
11451
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
11452
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
11454
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
11459
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
11460
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
11462
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
11464
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
11466
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
11468
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
11469
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
11470
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
11472
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
11474
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
11475
(John Arbash Meinel)
11477
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
11479
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
11480
If adding a new test script please add that to
11481
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
11483
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
11484
imported. (Martin Pool)
11486
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
11487
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
11488
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
11489
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
11490
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
11493
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
11494
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
11495
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
11497
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
11498
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
11499
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
11501
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
11502
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
11503
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
11504
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
11505
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
11508
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
11509
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
11515
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
11516
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
11518
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
11519
function. (Robert Collins)
11521
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
11522
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
11523
if needed). (Robert Collins)
11525
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
11526
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
11529
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
11530
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
11531
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
11532
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
11533
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
11534
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
11535
version. (Robert Collins)
11537
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
11538
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
11540
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
11541
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
11542
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
11543
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
11544
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
11545
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
11547
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
11550
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
11560
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
11562
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
11564
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
11567
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
11568
query method. (Robert Collins)
11570
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
11573
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
11576
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
11579
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
11580
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
11581
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
11582
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
11584
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
11585
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
11586
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
11587
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
11589
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
11590
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
11595
:Released: 2005-10-28
11600
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
11603
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
11607
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
11608
a separator, not ':'.
11611
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
11612
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
11613
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
11615
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
11616
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
11619
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
11620
has been added that suppresses all output.
11622
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
11625
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
11626
Goffredo Baroncelli.
11628
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
11629
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
11631
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
11632
a revision. (Robert Collins)
11634
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
11635
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
11636
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
11637
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
11639
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
11641
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
11642
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
11644
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
11645
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
11647
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
11648
output directory, if one was supplied.
11650
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
11651
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
11652
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
11653
parameters. (Robert Collins)
11655
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
11657
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
11658
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
11660
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
11661
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
11662
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
11664
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
11665
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
11667
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
11670
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
11672
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
11677
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
11678
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
11679
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
11681
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
11682
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
11683
related questions. (Robert Collins)
11685
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
11686
is given. (Martin Pool)
11688
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
11689
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
11690
file. (Robert Collins)
11692
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
11698
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
11699
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
11700
representation. (Martin Pool).
11702
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
11703
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
11704
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
11706
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
11709
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
11710
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
11713
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
11714
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
11715
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
11716
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
11717
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
11719
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
11720
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
11721
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
11722
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
11723
python path. (Robert Collins)
11725
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
11726
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
11727
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
11728
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
11730
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
11731
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
11733
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
11734
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
11737
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
11738
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
11739
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
11741
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
11742
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
11743
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
11745
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
11746
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
11748
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
11749
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
11750
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
11753
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
11754
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
11755
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
11756
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
11759
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
11762
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
11763
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
11766
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
11767
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
11768
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
11770
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
11771
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propagate as normal.
11772
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
11774
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
11775
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
11776
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
11778
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
11779
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
11781
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
11782
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
11783
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
11784
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
11785
caller. (Robert Collins)
11787
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
11788
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
11791
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
11792
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
11795
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
11797
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
11798
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
11803
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
11804
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
11806
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
11807
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
11813
:Released: 2005-10-12
11818
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
11819
allow directories to be listed.
11821
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
11822
upgrading branch format.
11827
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
11833
:Released: 2005-10-11
11838
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
11839
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
11840
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
11841
high-latency connections.
11846
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
11849
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
11850
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
11852
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
11853
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
11854
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
11855
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
11857
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
11858
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
11860
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
11861
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
11863
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
11864
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
11865
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
11867
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
11868
for files with only a change to their executable status.
11869
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
11872
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
11873
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
11875
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
11876
different partial views of history.
11878
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
11879
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
11884
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
11885
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
11886
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
11888
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
11889
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
11892
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
11893
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
11895
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
11898
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
11899
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
11901
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
11902
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
11903
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
11904
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
11906
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
11908
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
11909
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
11912
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
11913
Contributed by Robert Collins.
11915
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
11916
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
11917
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
11923
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
11924
for your viewing pleasure.
11926
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
11927
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
11929
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
11930
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
11931
handling of such circumstances.
11933
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
11934
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
11935
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
11937
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
11939
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
11940
we call them revisions not patches.
11942
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
11943
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
11945
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
11946
giving the revision *of that file*.
11948
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
11949
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
11950
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
11955
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
11956
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
11958
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
11959
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
11965
:Released: 2005-09-23
11970
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
11972
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
11975
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
11977
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
11979
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
11980
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
11985
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
11986
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
11988
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
11989
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
11990
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
11991
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
11994
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
11995
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
12000
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
12002
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
12003
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
12009
:Released: 2005-09-20
12015
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
12016
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
12017
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
12018
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
12021
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
12024
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
12025
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
12026
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
12027
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
12028
for the operating system is still tried.
12030
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
12031
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
12032
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
12038
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
12043
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
12045
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
12048
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
12055
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
12057
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.

:Released: 2005-09-02
12068
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
12069
help with intelligent shell completion.
12071
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
12077
* Much better merge support.
12079
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
12080
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
12087
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
12088
mention revisions that are not present.
12090
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
12092
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
12094
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
12095
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
12101
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
12103
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
12104
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
12111
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
12112
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
12120
:Released: 2005-08-18
12125
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
12126
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
12128
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
12130
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
12131
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
12133
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
12136
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
12138
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
12141
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
12142
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
12144
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
12145
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
12146
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
12152
* Faster working tree operations.
12158
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
12159
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
12160
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
12161
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
12163
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
12164
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
12165
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
12166
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
12167
standard plugins directory.
12169
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
12170
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
12171
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
12172
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
12174
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
12175
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
12177
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
12180
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
12181
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
12182
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
12184
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
12185
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
12187
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
12188
line options must come before the command name because they
12189
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
12190
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
12193
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
12195
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
12196
is available with ``--short``.
12202
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
12208
:Released: 2005-06-15
12213
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
12214
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
12216
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
12217
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
12218
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
12219
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
12221
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
12222
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
12223
with the ``--forward`` option.
12225
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
12226
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
12233
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
12234
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
12236
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
12238
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
12239
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
12241
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
12243
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
12244
either read or write mode.
12246
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
12248
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
12249
affected that file.
12251
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
12253
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
12254
suggested by LarstiQ.
12256
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
12257
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
12259
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
12262
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
12263
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
12265
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
12266
haven't changed since the previous time.
12268
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
12269
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
12271
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
12273
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
12275
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
12276
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
12278
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
12279
options through to an external GNU diff.
12281
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
12284
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
12291
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
12292
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
12294
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
12301
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
12302
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
12305
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
12306
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
12308
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
12309
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
12311
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
12312
under a different version.
12314
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
12320
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
12322
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
12323
Scott James Remnant.
12325
* Better help messages for many commands.
12327
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
12328
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
12330
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
12331
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
12333
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
12335
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
12337
* New AtomicFile class.
12339
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
12345
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
12346
2.4 is now only recommended.
12352
:Released: 2005-04-22
12357
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
12358
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
12360
* More default ignore patterns.
12362
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
12363
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
12365
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
12367
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
12370
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
12376
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
12377
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
12378
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
12379
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
12380
there are DNS problems.
12382
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
12388
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
12390
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
12392
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
12393
trailing newlines properly.
12399
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
12402
* More tests in test.sh.
12404
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
12405
directory and delete it when done.
12407
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
12413
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
12416
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
12423
:Released: 2005-04-06
12428
* New "directories" internal command lists versioned directories
12431
* Can now say "bzr commit --help".
12433
* New "rename" command to rename one file to a different name
12436
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different
12439
* New "renames" command lists files renamed since base revision.
12441
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
12446
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
12447
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
12453
* Workaround for difflib bug in Python 2.3 that causes an
12454
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
12460
* Refactored inventory storage to insert a root entry at the top.
12465
* Start of shell-based black-box testing in test.sh.
12
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
13
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
14
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
15
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
16
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
17
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
18
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
19
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
20
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
21
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
22
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
23
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
28
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
30
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
31
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
35
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
36
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
38
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
39
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
41
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
42
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
43
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
44
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
46
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
49
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
50
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
52
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
53
the contents. (Robert Collins)
57
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
58
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
60
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
61
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
63
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
68
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
69
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
70
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
71
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
72
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
74
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
75
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
77
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
79
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
81
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
82
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
84
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
85
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
87
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
88
contains a symbolic link.
89
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
91
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
92
(James Westby, #140615)
94
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
96
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
98
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
99
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
100
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
102
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
105
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
106
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
110
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
111
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
112
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
114
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
115
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
116
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
118
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
119
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
120
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
123
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
124
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
125
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
126
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
131
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
132
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
133
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
135
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
136
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
137
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
139
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
140
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
142
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
143
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
144
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
146
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
147
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
148
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
149
returned. (Robert Collins)
151
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
152
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
157
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
158
======================
160
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
163
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
164
======================
168
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
169
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
170
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
171
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
174
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
175
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
176
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
181
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
182
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
183
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
186
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
187
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
188
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
190
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
191
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
192
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
194
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
195
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
197
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
198
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
199
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
200
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
201
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
202
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
203
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
204
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
205
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
206
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
208
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
209
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
213
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
214
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
216
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
217
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
218
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
220
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
221
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
223
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
224
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
226
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
229
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
230
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
232
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
233
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
235
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
236
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
238
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
239
(Blake Winton, #129299)
241
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
243
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
246
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
247
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
248
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
249
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
251
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
253
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
254
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
257
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
258
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
260
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
261
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
264
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
265
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
267
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
268
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
270
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
271
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
272
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
273
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
274
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
275
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
276
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
278
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
279
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
281
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
282
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
284
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
285
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
287
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
288
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
290
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
292
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
294
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
295
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
297
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
298
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
299
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
301
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
302
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
303
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
307
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
308
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
310
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
313
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
316
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
317
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
319
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
321
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
322
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
324
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
325
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
327
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
328
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
329
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
330
space). (Robert Collins)
332
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
333
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
336
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
337
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
339
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
340
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
342
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
343
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
344
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
345
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
347
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
348
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
349
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
352
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
355
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
356
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
357
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
361
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
362
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
364
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
365
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
366
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
367
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
368
affected. (Robert Collins)
370
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
371
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
372
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
375
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
376
previous release. (Martin Pool)
380
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
381
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
383
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
384
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
386
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
387
previous release. (Martin Pool)
389
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
392
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
393
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
397
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
398
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
399
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
400
its version information. (Robert Collins)
402
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
403
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
405
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
406
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
407
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
408
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
410
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
411
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
412
present. (Robert Collins)
414
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
415
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
416
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
417
API. (Robert Collins)
419
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
420
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
423
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
424
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
426
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
427
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
428
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
429
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
430
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
431
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
433
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
434
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
435
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
437
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
438
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
439
to complete. (Robert Collins)
441
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
442
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
443
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
444
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
447
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
450
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
451
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
452
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
453
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
454
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
455
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
456
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
458
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
459
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
460
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
461
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
463
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
464
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
465
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
466
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
467
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
468
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
470
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
471
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
472
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
474
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
475
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
483
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
484
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
485
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
486
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
487
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
488
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
489
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
490
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
495
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
496
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
497
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
500
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
501
======================
505
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
506
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
507
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
508
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
509
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
511
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
512
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
514
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
516
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
518
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
519
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
522
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
523
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
526
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
529
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
530
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
532
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
533
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
535
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
536
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
538
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
539
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
541
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
542
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
544
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
549
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
550
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
552
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
553
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
555
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
556
the repository (Robert Collins)
558
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
559
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
560
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
561
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
562
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
564
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
565
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
567
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
568
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
571
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
572
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
573
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
575
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
576
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
577
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
580
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
581
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
584
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
585
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
587
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
590
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
592
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
594
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
595
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
597
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
598
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
601
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
602
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
603
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
604
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
606
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
607
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
608
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
610
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
611
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
612
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
614
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
615
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
617
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
618
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
619
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
620
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
621
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
622
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
625
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
626
(Alexander Belchenko)
628
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
629
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
631
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
632
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
634
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
636
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
637
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
641
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
642
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
643
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
644
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
646
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
648
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
651
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
652
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
653
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
654
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
655
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
656
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
660
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
661
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
662
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
663
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
665
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
666
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
667
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
668
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
669
tests have been refactored too.
672
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
673
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
674
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
678
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
679
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
680
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
682
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
683
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
684
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
685
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
686
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
687
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
688
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
690
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
691
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
692
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
693
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
696
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
697
functionality for testing.
699
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
701
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
702
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
704
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
706
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
709
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
710
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
712
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
713
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
714
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
716
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
719
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
720
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
722
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
723
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
724
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
725
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
727
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
728
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
730
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
731
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
732
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
734
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
737
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
738
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
739
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
740
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
741
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
742
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
744
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
745
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
746
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
747
many files. (Robert Collins)
749
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
750
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
751
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
752
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
756
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
757
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
758
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
760
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
761
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
763
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
764
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
765
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
773
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
776
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
777
=======================
781
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
782
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
784
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
785
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
786
(James Westby, #122656)
788
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
789
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
791
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
792
authentication header.
793
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
795
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
797
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
798
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
800
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
802
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
803
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
805
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
806
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
807
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
809
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
810
individually and as part of revision ranges.
813
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
814
(Martin Pool, #109169)
816
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
817
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
819
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
820
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
822
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
824
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
828
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
829
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
830
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
831
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
832
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
833
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
835
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
836
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
837
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
839
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
842
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
843
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
845
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
846
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
848
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
849
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
851
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
852
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
853
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
854
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
855
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
857
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
858
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
860
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
861
can be slow it is useful feedback).
862
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
864
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
865
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
867
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
869
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
870
output. (Aaron Bentley)
872
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
873
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
876
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
879
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
880
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
882
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
883
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
885
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
886
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
888
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
890
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
891
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
893
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.

``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
908
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
909
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
910
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
911
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
912
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
913
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
914
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
915
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
918
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
920
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
921
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
922
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
924
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
925
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
927
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
928
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
930
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
932
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
933
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
934
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
935
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
936
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
937
same location. (Robert Collins)
941
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
943
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
945
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
947
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
950
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
953
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
954
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
955
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
957
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
959
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
960
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
961
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
963
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
964
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
966
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
967
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
968
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
970
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
971
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
972
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
974
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
975
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
976
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
978
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
979
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
982
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
983
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
985
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
986
(Alexander Belchenko)
990
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
991
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
992
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
993
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
995
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
996
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
997
testing. (Robert Collins)
999
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
1000
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
1002
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
1003
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
1004
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
1005
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
1006
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
1007
attribute during the test parameterisation in
1008
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
1010
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
1011
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
1012
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
1013
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
1015
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
1016
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
1018
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
1019
avoid useless cloning.
1020
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
1024
====================
1028
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
1029
(Colin Watson, #120647)
1031
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.

=======================

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1040
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
1041
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
1042
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
1043
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
1044
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
1045
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
1046
and unlock() like so::
1048
work_tree.lock_read()
1050
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
1055
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
1056
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
1058
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
1059
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
1060
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
1062
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
1063
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
1064
too. (Robert Collins)
1068
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
1069
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
1072
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
1073
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
1075
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
1076
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
1078
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
1079
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
1080
understanding what changes have occurred
1081
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
1083
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
1084
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
1085
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1087
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
1088
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
1089
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
1090
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
1092
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
1097
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
1098
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
1099
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
1100
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
1101
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
1103
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
1104
based on split paths, not just string paths.
1105
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
1107
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
1108
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
1110
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
1112
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
1114
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
1115
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
1117
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
1118
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
1120
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
1121
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
1123
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
1124
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
1126
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
1127
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
1129
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
1130
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
1131
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
1134
====================
1138
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
1139
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
1140
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
1141
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
1142
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
1144
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
1145
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
1146
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
1148
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
1149
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
1153
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
1154
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
1155
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
1157
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
1158
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
1159
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
1160
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
1162
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
1163
=======================
1167
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
1168
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
1169
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
1170
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
1172
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
1173
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
1174
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
1176
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
1177
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
1179
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
1180
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
1182
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
1183
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
1185
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
1186
=======================
1188
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1190
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
1191
it could be recovered again.
1192
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
1193
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
1194
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
1196
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
1198
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
1199
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
1203
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
1204
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
1206
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
1207
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
1208
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
1209
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
1211
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
1212
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
1214
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
1215
tests with names that match that regular expression.
1216
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
1218
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
1219
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
1220
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
1222
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
1223
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
1224
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
1226
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
1227
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
1230
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
1233
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
1234
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
1235
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
1236
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
1238
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
1241
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
1242
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
1243
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
1246
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
1247
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
1249
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
1250
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
1252
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
1253
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
1254
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
1255
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
1258
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
1259
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
1261
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
1262
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
1264
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
1265
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
1266
(Robert Collins, #107125).
1268
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
1269
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
1270
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
1272
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
1273
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
1274
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1276
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
1277
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
1278
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
1279
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
1281
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
1282
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
1283
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
1284
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
1286
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
1287
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
1288
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
1289
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
1290
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
1291
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
1292
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
1293
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
1299
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
1300
code paths. (Robert Collins)
1302
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
1303
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
1304
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
1305
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
1306
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1308
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
1309
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
1311
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
1312
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
1314
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
1315
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
1317
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
1318
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
1320
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
1321
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
1322
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
1325
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
1326
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
1327
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
1328
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
1329
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
1332
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
1333
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
1334
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
1336
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
1337
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
1340
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
1341
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
1342
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
1345
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
1346
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
1347
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
1348
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
1349
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
1351
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
1352
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
1353
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
1354
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1356
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
1357
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1359
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
1360
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
1361
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
1362
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
1363
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
1364
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
1366
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
1367
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
1369
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
1370
help. (Robert Collins)
1372
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
1373
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1375
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
1376
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
1377
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
1378
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
1379
(John Arbash Meinel)
1381
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
1382
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
1383
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
1384
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
1385
useful. (Robert Collins)
1387
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
1392
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
1393
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
1395
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
1396
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
1398
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
1399
properly and is no longer beneficial.
1400
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
1402
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
1405
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
1406
the file, and does it faster.
1407
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
1409
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
1410
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
1411
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
1413
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
1414
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
1415
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
1416
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
1418
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
1419
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
1420
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
1421
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
1423
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
1424
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
1426
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
1427
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
1428
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
1429
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
1432
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
1434
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
1435
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
1437
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
1438
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
1440
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
1441
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
1442
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
1443
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
1447
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
1448
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
1452
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
1453
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
1454
in running it. (Robert Collins)
1456
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
1457
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
1459
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
1460
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
1461
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
1462
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
1463
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
1464
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
1465
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
1466
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1468
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
1469
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
1470
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1472
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
1473
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
1474
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
1475
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
1476
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
1478
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1480
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
1481
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
1482
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1484
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
1485
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
1493
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
1496
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
1497
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
1500
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
1501
=======================
1505
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
1506
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
1511
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
1512
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
1513
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
1514
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
1515
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
1516
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
1517
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
1518
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
1523
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
1524
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
1525
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
1527
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
1528
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
1531
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
1532
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
1533
(John Arbash Meinel)
1535
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
1536
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
1537
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
1538
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
1539
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
1543
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
1546
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
1547
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
1549
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
1550
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
1552
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
1553
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
1554
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
1556
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
1557
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
1559
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
1560
last-changed-revision for directories. The
1561
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
1562
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
1563
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
1565
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
1566
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
1567
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
1569
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
1572
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
1573
=======================
1575
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1577
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
1578
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
1579
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
1583
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
1584
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
1586
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
1587
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
1589
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1591
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
1592
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
1594
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
1595
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
1599
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
1604
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
1605
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
1606
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
1607
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
1609
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
1610
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
1612
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
1613
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
1615
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
1618
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
1619
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
1622
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
1623
=======================
1627
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
1628
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
1629
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
1630
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
1631
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
1632
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
1634
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
1635
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
1636
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
1637
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
1638
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
1639
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
1641
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1643
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
1644
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
1645
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
1646
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
1647
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
1648
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
1649
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
1650
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1654
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
1655
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
1657
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
1658
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
1659
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
1660
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
1662
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
1663
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
1664
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
1665
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
1666
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
1668
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
1671
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
1674
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
1677
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
1678
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
1681
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
1684
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
1685
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
1687
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
1688
directory. (Martin Pool)
1690
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
1691
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
1692
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
1693
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
1695
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
1696
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
1697
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
1698
in docs/configuration.txt.
1700
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
1701
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
1704
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
1705
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
1706
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
1707
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
1708
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
1709
repositories. (Martin Pool)
1711
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
1712
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1714
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
1715
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
1717
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
1722
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
1723
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
1724
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
1725
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
1726
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
1727
(John Arbash Meinel)
1729
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
1730
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
1733
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
1734
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
1735
(John Arbash Meinel)
1737
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
1738
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
1739
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
1740
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
1741
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
1742
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
1744
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
1745
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
1746
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
1748
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
1749
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
1750
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
1751
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
1753
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1755
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
1756
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
1757
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
1758
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
1760
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
1761
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
1762
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
1763
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
1765
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
1766
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
1767
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
1769
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
1770
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
1771
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
1773
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
1774
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
1775
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
1776
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
1778
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
1779
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
1780
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
1782
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
1783
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
1784
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
1786
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
1787
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
1788
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
1789
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
1790
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
1791
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
1792
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
1793
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
1794
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
1795
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
1796
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
1800
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
1801
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
1802
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
1804
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
1807
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
1808
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
1809
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
1810
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
1812
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
1813
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
1816
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
1817
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
1819
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
1821
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
1822
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
1823
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
1825
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
1826
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
1828
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
1829
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
1831
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
1832
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
1834
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
1835
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
1837
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
1839
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
1840
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
1844
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
1845
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
1849
====================
1853
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
1857
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
1858
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
1859
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
1861
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
1862
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
1863
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
1866
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
1867
=======================
1871
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
1872
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
1873
server, then you can write over the http connection.
1874
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1876
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
1879
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
1880
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
1881
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1883
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
1884
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
1886
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
1889
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
1890
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
1891
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
1892
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
1893
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
1894
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
1896
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
1897
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
1898
should enable you to do::
1900
[/home/user/project]
1901
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
1902
push_location:policy = appendpath
1904
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
1905
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
1908
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
1909
for each file. For example::
1911
$ bzr status --short
1917
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
1918
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
1920
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
1922
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
1923
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
1925
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
1929
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
1930
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
1931
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
1932
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
1934
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
1935
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
1936
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
1938
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1940
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
1941
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
1942
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
1943
(Alexander Belchenko)
1945
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
1948
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
1949
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
1951
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
1955
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
1956
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
1958
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
1959
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
1960
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
1961
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
1962
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
1964
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
1965
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
1967
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
1968
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
1970
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
1972
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
1974
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
1975
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
1976
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
1977
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
1978
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
1980
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
1981
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
1982
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
1983
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
1985
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
1986
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
1988
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
1989
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
1991
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
1992
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
1994
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
1995
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)
1999
====================
2001
No changes from 0.13rc1
2003
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
2004
=======================
2008
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
2010
(Daniel Silverstone)
2012
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
2013
operations are substantially faster.
2014
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
2016
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
2017
tree from some other url. For example:
2018
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
2019
(Daniel Silverstone)
2021
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
2022
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
2023
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
2024
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
2026
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
2029
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
2030
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
2031
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
2032
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
2033
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
2034
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
2038
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
2039
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
2042
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2043
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2044
(John Arbash Meinel)
2046
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
2047
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
2048
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
2049
(John Arbash Meinel)
2051
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
2052
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
2054
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
2055
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2057
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
2058
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
2063
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
2064
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
2065
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
2067
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
2068
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
2069
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
2070
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
2072
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
2074
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
2075
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
2077
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
2078
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
2079
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
2080
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
2082
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
2083
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
2084
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
2086
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
2087
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
2088
them as full references rather than integers.
2089
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
2091
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
2092
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
2094
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
2096
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
2097
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
2099
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
2100
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
2102
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
2103
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
2104
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
2105
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
2107
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
2108
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
2109
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
2111
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
2112
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
2114
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
2115
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
2116
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
2117
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
2118
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
2122
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
2123
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
2126
====================
2130
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2131
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2132
(John Arbash Meinel)
2134
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
2135
=======================
2139
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
2140
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
2141
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
2142
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
2144
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
2145
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
2147
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
2149
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
2150
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
2151
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
2152
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2154
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
2155
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
2156
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
2157
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
2158
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
2160
API INCOMPATABILITY:
2162
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
2163
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
2167
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
2168
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
2169
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2171
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
2172
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
2173
(John Arbash Meinel)
2175
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
2176
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
2177
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
2179
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
2180
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
2183
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
2184
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
2185
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2187
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
2188
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
2189
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
2190
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
2191
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
2192
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2194
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
2195
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
2196
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
2199
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
2200
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
2204
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
2205
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
2206
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
2209
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
2210
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
2212
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
2213
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
2214
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
2216
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
2217
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
2219
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
2220
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
2221
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
2222
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
2224
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
2225
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
2227
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
2228
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
2229
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
2231
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
2232
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
2234
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2236
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
2237
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
2242
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
2243
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
2244
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
2245
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
2247
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
2248
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
2249
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2252
====================
2254
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
2256
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
2257
=======================
2261
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
2263
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
2266
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
2267
=======================
2271
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
2272
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
2273
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
2274
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
2275
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
2276
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
2277
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
2279
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
2280
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
2281
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
2283
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
2285
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
2286
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
2288
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
2289
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
2290
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
2293
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
2294
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
2295
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
2296
(John Arbash Meinel)
2298
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
2299
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
2300
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
2301
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
2304
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
2305
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
2306
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
2307
(John Arbash Meinel)
2311
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
2312
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
2314
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
2316
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
2317
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
2318
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
2320
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
2321
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
2323
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
2324
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
2326
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
2327
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
2329
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
2330
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
2332
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
2334
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
2335
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
2337
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
2338
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
2340
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
2341
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
2343
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
2344
(John Arbash Meinel)
2346
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
2347
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
2348
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
2350
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
2351
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2353
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
2354
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
2355
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
2356
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
2358
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
2359
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
2360
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
2362
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
2363
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
2367
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
2371
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
2372
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
2373
(John Arbash Meinel)
2375
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
2376
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
2377
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
2378
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2380
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
2383
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
2384
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
2385
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
2387
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
2388
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
2390
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
2391
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
2392
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
2394
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
2395
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
2396
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
2397
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
2398
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
2399
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
2400
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
2401
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
2402
caller to repeat their request.
2403
(John Arbash Meinel)
2405
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
2406
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
2408
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
2409
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
2411
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
2412
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
2413
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
2414
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
2415
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
2416
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
2417
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
2419
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
2420
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
2421
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
2422
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
2423
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
2424
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
2425
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
2426
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
2429
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
2430
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
2431
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
2433
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
2434
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
2436
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
2437
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
2439
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
2440
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2444
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
2445
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
2447
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
2448
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
2449
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2451
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
2452
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
2453
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2456
====================
2459
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
2460
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
2462
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
2463
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
2464
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
2465
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
2466
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
2468
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
2469
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
2470
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
2472
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
2473
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
2475
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
2476
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
2477
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2481
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
2483
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
2484
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
2485
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
2487
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
2489
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
2491
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
2492
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
2493
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
2494
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
2496
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
2497
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
2498
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
2499
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
2500
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
2502
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
2503
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
2505
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
2506
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
2508
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
2509
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
2511
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
2512
in handling of revision properties.
2513
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
2515
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
2516
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
2520
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
2521
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
2522
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
2523
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
2524
(John Arbash Meinel)
2526
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
2527
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
2528
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
2530
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
2531
=====================
2535
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
2536
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
2537
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
2538
specific one '.bzrignore'.
2539
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
2540
a more conservative list than the old default.
2541
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
2542
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
2543
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
2544
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
2546
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
2547
to more locations than just branch locations.
2552
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
2553
revno:N:branch. For example,
2554
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
2555
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
2557
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
2558
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
2559
the path of a file that has been versioned.
2560
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
2561
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
2562
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
2563
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
2564
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
2567
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
2568
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
2569
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
2572
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
2573
(Alexander Belchenko)
2575
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
2577
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
2580
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
2581
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
2582
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
2583
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
2584
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
2585
(John Arbash Meinel)
2587
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
2588
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
2589
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
2590
grained analysis of performance.
2591
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2593
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
2594
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
2596
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
2597
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
2598
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
2599
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
2600
file. (Robert Collins).
2602
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
2603
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
2604
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
2606
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
2607
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
2610
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
2611
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
2613
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
2614
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
2615
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
2616
the same way you would apply another branch.
2617
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
2619
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
2620
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
2622
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
2625
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
2628
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
2629
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
2630
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
2632
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
2633
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
2634
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
2636
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
2637
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
2639
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
2640
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
2641
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
2642
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
2643
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
2645
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
2646
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
2648
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
2649
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
2650
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
2651
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
2652
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
2653
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
2654
branch is as much as 4x faster.
2655
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
2657
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
2658
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
2659
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
2663
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
2665
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
2667
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
2668
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2670
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
2671
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
2673
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
2674
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
2676
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
2678
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
2679
(John Arbash Meinel)
2681
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
2682
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
2684
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
2685
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
2688
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
2689
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
2691
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
2692
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
2694
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
2695
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
2696
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
2697
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
2699
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
2700
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
2702
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
2704
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
2705
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
2707
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
2709
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
2711
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
2712
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
2714
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
2715
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
2717
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
2718
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
2719
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
2721
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
2722
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
2723
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
2725
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
2726
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
2728
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
2729
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
2731
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
2732
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
2734
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
2735
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
2737
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
2738
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
2740
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
2741
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
2742
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
2744
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
2746
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
2747
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
2751
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
2752
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
2753
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
2755
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
2756
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
2758
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
2759
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
2760
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2762
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
2763
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2765
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
2766
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
2769
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
2770
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
2771
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2773
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
2774
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
2775
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2777
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
2778
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
2779
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
2781
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
2782
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
2783
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
2785
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
2786
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
2787
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
2789
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
2790
instead. (Robert Collins)
2792
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
2794
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
2795
=====================
2799
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
2801
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
2802
=====================
2806
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
2807
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
2809
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
2810
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2812
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
2813
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
2814
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
2818
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
2820
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
2821
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
2823
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
2827
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
2828
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
2829
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
2830
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
2834
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
2835
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
2836
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
2840
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
2841
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
2842
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2846
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
2847
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
2852
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2854
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
2855
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
2856
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
2857
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
2858
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
2859
will keep the same format.
2861
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
2862
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
2863
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
2864
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
2865
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
2867
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
2868
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
2869
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
2870
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
2871
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
2872
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
2873
indicating the current revision of the branch.
2875
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
2876
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
2877
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
2878
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
2879
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
2881
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
2882
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
2883
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
2889
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
2890
convention. Paths now take the form::
2892
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
2894
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
2896
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
2897
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
2899
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
2900
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
2901
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
2903
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
2904
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
2905
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
2906
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
2908
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
2909
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
2910
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
2912
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
2914
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
2916
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
2917
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
2920
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
2921
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
2924
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
2926
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
2927
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
2928
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
2931
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
2933
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
2935
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
2938
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
2939
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
2941
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
2942
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
2945
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
2946
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
2949
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
2951
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
2953
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
2954
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
2956
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
2957
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
2958
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
2959
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
2960
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
2961
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
2963
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
2965
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
2966
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
2969
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
2970
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
2972
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
2973
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
2975
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
2977
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
2978
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
2979
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
2980
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
2981
specification by Martin Pool.
2982
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
2984
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
2987
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
2988
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2990
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
2991
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
2992
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
2994
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
2996
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
2997
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
3002
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
3003
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3005
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
3007
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
3009
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
3012
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
3013
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
3014
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
3015
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
3019
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
3020
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
3021
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
3022
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3024
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
3025
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
3026
tried. (Martin Pool)
3028
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
3031
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
3033
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
3034
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
3035
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
3037
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
3038
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
3040
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
3041
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
3042
paths. (Robert Collins)
3044
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
3045
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
3046
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
3048
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
3049
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
3050
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
3052
* Progress bars are now nested - see
3053
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
3054
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3056
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
3059
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
3062
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
3064
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
3066
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
3067
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
3068
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
3071
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
3072
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
3074
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
3075
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
3076
check. (Robert Collins)
3078
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
3079
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
3083
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
3084
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
3086
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
3087
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
3088
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
3089
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
3091
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
3092
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
3093
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
3094
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
3095
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
3097
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
3098
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
3099
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
3101
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
3103
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
3104
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
3111
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
3112
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
3114
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
3115
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
3116
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
3119
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
3120
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
3122
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
3123
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
3124
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
3125
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
3126
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3128
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
3129
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
3130
used. (Robert Collins)
3132
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
3133
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
3136
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
3137
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
3138
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
3140
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
3143
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
3144
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
3148
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
3149
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
3151
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
3153
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
3155
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
3156
tree. (Robert Collins)
3158
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
3159
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
3160
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
3163
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
3166
* Tweaks to short log printing
3168
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
3171
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
3172
occurs. (Martin Pool)
3174
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
3175
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
3177
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
3178
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
3180
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
3181
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
3182
settings. (Magnus Therning)
3184
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
3185
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3187
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
3188
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
3191
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
3192
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
3194
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
3195
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
3197
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
3198
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
3200
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
3203
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
3204
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
3206
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
3207
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
3209
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
3210
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
3211
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
3215
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
3217
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3219
* Error when run with -OO
3221
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
3224
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
3226
* Change status to 3 for all errors
3228
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
3229
ignored by diff and status
3231
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
3232
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
3234
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
3236
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
3238
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
3239
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
3241
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
3242
email address. (Marien Zwart)
3244
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
3247
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
3248
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3250
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
3252
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
3253
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
3255
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
3258
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
3259
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
3261
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
3265
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
3266
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
3268
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3270
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3272
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
3274
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
3275
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
3276
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3278
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3280
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
3281
(John Arbash Meinel)
3283
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
3285
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
3286
If adding a new test script please add that to
3287
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
3289
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
3290
imported. (Martin Pool)
3292
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
3293
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
3294
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
3295
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
3296
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
3299
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
3300
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
3301
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
3303
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
3304
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
3305
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3307
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
3308
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
3309
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
3310
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
3311
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
3314
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
3315
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
3320
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
3321
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
3323
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
3324
function. (Robert Collins)
3326
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
3327
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
3328
if needed). (Robert Collins)
3330
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
3331
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
3334
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
3335
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
3336
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
3337
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
3338
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
3339
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
3340
version. (Robert Collins)
3342
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
3343
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
3345
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
3346
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
3347
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
3348
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
3349
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
3350
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
3352
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
3355
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
3365
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
3367
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
3369
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
3372
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
3373
query method. (Robert Collins)
3375
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
3378
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
3381
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
3384
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
3385
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
3386
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
3387
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
3389
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
3390
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
3391
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
3392
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
3394
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
3395
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
3402
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
3405
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
3409
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
3410
a separator, not ':'.
3413
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
3414
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
3415
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
3417
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
3418
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
3421
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
3422
has been added that suppresses all output.
3424
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
3427
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
3428
Goffredo Baroncelli.
3430
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
3431
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
3433
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
3434
a revision. (Robert Collins)
3436
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
3437
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
3438
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
3439
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
3441
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
3443
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
3444
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
3446
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
3447
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
3449
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
3450
output directory, if one was supplied.
3452
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
3453
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
3454
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
3455
parameters. (Robert Collins)
3457
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
3459
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
3460
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
3462
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
3463
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
3464
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
3466
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
3467
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
3469
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
3472
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
3474
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
3478
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
3479
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
3480
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
3482
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
3483
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
3484
related questions. (Robert Collins)
3486
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
3487
is given. (Martin Pool)
3489
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
3490
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
3491
file. (Robert Collins)
3493
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
3498
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
3499
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
3500
representation. (Martin Pool).
3502
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
3503
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
3504
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
3506
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3509
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
3510
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
3513
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3514
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
3515
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
3516
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
3517
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
3519
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
3520
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
3521
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
3522
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
3523
python path. (Robert Collins)
3525
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
3526
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
3527
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
3528
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
3530
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
3531
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
3533
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
3534
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
3537
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
3538
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
3539
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
3541
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
3542
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
3543
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
3545
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3546
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3548
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
3549
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
3550
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
3553
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
3554
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
3555
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
3556
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
3559
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
3562
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
3563
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
3566
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
3567
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
3568
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
3570
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
3571
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
3572
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
3574
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
3575
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
3576
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
3578
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3579
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3581
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
3582
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
3583
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
3584
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
3585
caller. (Robert Collins)
3587
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
3588
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
3591
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
3592
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
3595
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
3597
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
3598
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
3602
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
3603
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
3605
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
3606
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
3609
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
3610
====================
3614
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
3615
allow directories to be listed.
3617
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
3618
upgrading branch format.
3622
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
3630
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
3631
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
3632
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
3633
high-latency connections.
3637
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
3640
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
3641
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
3643
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
3644
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
3645
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
3646
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3648
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
3649
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
3651
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
3652
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
3654
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
3655
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
3656
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3658
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
3659
for files with only a change to their executable status.
3660
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
3663
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
3664
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
3666
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
3667
different partial views of history.
3669
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
3670
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
3674
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
3675
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
3676
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3678
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
3679
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
3682
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
3683
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
3685
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
3688
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
3689
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
3691
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
3692
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
3693
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
3694
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3696
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
3698
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
3699
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
3702
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
3703
Contributed by Robert Collins.
3705
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
3706
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
3707
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
3712
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
3713
for your viewing pleasure.
3715
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
3716
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
3718
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
3719
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
3720
handling of such circumstances.
3722
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
3723
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
3724
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
3726
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
3728
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
3729
we call them revisions not patches.
3731
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
3732
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
3734
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
3735
giving the revision *of that file*.
3737
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
3738
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
3739
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
3743
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
3744
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
3746
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
3747
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
3750
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
3751
====================
3755
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
3757
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
3760
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
3762
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
3764
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
3765
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3769
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
3770
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
3772
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
3773
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
3774
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
3775
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
3778
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
3779
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3783
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
3785
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
3786
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
3789
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
3790
====================
3794
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
3795
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
3796
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
3797
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
3800
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
3803
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
3804
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
3805
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
3806
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
3807
for the operating system is still tried.
3809
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
3810
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
3811
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
3816
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
3820
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
3822
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
3825
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
3831
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
3833
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
3836
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
3837
====================
3841
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
3842
help with intelligent shell completion.
3844
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
3849
* Much better merge support.
3851
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
3852
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
3858
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
3859
mention revisions that are not present.
3861
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
3863
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
3865
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
3866
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
3871
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
3873
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
3874
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
3880
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
3881
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
3886
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
3887
====================
3891
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
3892
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
3894
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
3896
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
3897
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
3899
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
3902
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
3904
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
3907
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
3908
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
3910
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
3911
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
3912
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
3917
* Faster working tree operations.
3922
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
3923
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
3924
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
3925
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
3927
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
3928
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
3929
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
3930
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
3931
standard plugins directory.
3933
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
3934
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
3935
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
3936
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
3938
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
3939
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
3941
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
3944
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
3945
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
3946
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
3948
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
3949
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
3951
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
3952
line options must come before the command name because they
3953
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
3954
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
3957
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
3959
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
3960
is available with ``--short``.
3965
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
3968
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
3969
=====================
3973
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
3974
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3976
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
3977
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
3978
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
3979
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
3981
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
3982
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
3983
with the ``--forward`` option.
3985
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
3986
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
3992
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
3993
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
3995
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
3997
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
3998
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
4000
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
4002
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
4003
either read or write mode.
4005
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
4007
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
4010
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
4012
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
4013
suggested by LarstiQ.
4015
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
4016
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
4018
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
4021
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
4022
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
4024
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
4025
haven't changed since the previous time.
4027
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
4028
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
4030
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
4032
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
4034
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
4035
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
4037
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
4038
options through to an external GNU diff.
4040
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
4043
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
4049
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
4050
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
4052
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
4058
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
4059
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
4062
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
4063
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
4065
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
4066
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
4068
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
4069
under a different version.
4071
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
4076
* Included ElementTree library upgraded to 1.2.6 by Fredrik Lundh.
4078
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
4079
Scott James Remnant.
4081
* Better help messages for many commands.
4083
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
4084
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
4086
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
4087
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
4089
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
4091
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
4093
* New AtomicFile class.
4095
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
4100
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
4101
2.4 is now only recommended.
4104
bzr-0.0.4 2005-04-22
4105
=====================
4109
* 'bzr diff' optionally takes a list of files to diff. Still a bit
4110
basic. Patch from QuantumG.
4112
* More default ignore patterns.
4114
* New 'bzr log --verbose' shows a list of files changed in the
4115
changeset. Patch from Sebastian Cote.
4117
* Roll over ~/.bzr.log if it gets too large.
4119
* Command abbreviations 'ci', 'st', 'stat', '?' based on a patch
4122
* New 'bzr help commands' based on a patch from Denys Duchier.
4127
* User email is determined by looking at $BZREMAIL or ~/.bzr.email
4128
or $EMAIL. All are decoded by the locale preferred encoding.
4129
If none of these are present user@hostname is used. The host's
4130
fully-qualified name is not used because that tends to fail when
4131
there are DNS problems.
4133
* New 'bzr whoami' command instead of username user-email.
4138
* Make commit safe for hardlinked bzr trees.
4140
* Some Unicode/locale fixes.
4142
* Partial workaround for ``difflib.unified_diff`` not handling
4143
trailing newlines properly.
4148
* Allow docstrings for help to be in PEP0257 format. Patch from
4151
* More tests in test.sh.
4153
* Write profile data to a temporary file not into working
4154
directory and delete it when done.
4156
* Smaller .bzr.log with process ids.
4161
* Fix opening of ~/.bzr.log on Windows. Patch from Andrew
4164
* Some improvements in handling paths on Windows, based on a patch
4168

4181
* New "move" command to move one or more files into a different

4186
* New cat command contributed by janmar.
4190
* .bzr.log is placed in $HOME (not pwd) and is always written in
4191
UTF-8. (Probably not a completely good long-term solution, but
4196

4197
exception when comparing empty files. Reported by Erik Toubro
4202
