Switch around to properly look up the executable bit in the basis.
We do this with a load-time switch around supports_executable(), rather than
a runtime if supports_executable() check.
It would be nice to inline the _is_executable_* check on platforms that support
executable, but we had a function call before, so we haven't degraded
performance.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
11
12
CHANGES:
13
14
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
15
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
16
17
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
18
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
19
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
20
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
21
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
22
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
23
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
24
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
25
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
26
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
27
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
28
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
29
(Robert Collins)
30
31
FEATURES:
32
33
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
34
35
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
36
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
37
38
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
39
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
40
(Aaron Bentley)
41
42
PERFORMANCE:
43
44
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
45
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
46
47
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
48
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
49
50
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
51
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
52
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
53
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
54
55
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
56
(Robert Collins)
57
58
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
59
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
60
61
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
62
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
63
64
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
65
the contents. (Robert Collins)
66
67
IMPROVEMENTS:
68
69
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
70
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
71
72
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
73
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
74
75
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
76
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
77
78
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
79
(Martin Pool, #63894)
80
81
BUG FIXES:
82
83
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
84
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
85
86
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
87
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
88
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
89
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
90
91
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
92
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
93
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
94
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
95
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
96
97
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
98
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
99
paramiko.
100
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
101
102
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
103
104
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
105
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
106
107
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
108
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
109
110
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
111
contains a symbolic link.
112
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
113
114
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
115
(James Westby, #140615)
116
117
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
118
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
119
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
120
121
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
122
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
123
(Martin Pool, #144633)
124
125
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
126
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
127
128
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
129
will remain opened.
130
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
131
132
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
133
directory to detect leaking tests.
134
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
135
136
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
137
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
138
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
139
140
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
141
(Rob Weir, #141629)
142
143
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
144
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
145
146
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
147
Merwe)
148
149
API BREAKS:
150
151
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
152
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
153
154
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
155
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
156
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
157
158
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
159
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
160
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
161
162
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
163
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
164
165
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
166
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
167
168
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
169
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
170
(Martin Pool)
171
172
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
173
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
174
175
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
176
class that needs it.
177
(Martin Pool)
178
179
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
180
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
181
182
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
183
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
184
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
185
186
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
187
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
188
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
189
(Robert Collins)
190
191
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
192
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
193
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
194
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
195
(Robert Collins)
196
197
INTERNALS:
198
199
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
200
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
201
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
202
203
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
204
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
205
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
206
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
207
208
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
209
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
210
(Robert Collins)
211
212
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
213
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
214
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
215
216
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
217
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
218
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
219
220
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
221
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
222
223
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
224
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
225
to complete. (Robert Collins)
226
227
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
228
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
229
230
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
231
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
232
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
233
234
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
235
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
236
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
237
238
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
239
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
240
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
241
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
242
243
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
244
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
245
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
246
returned. (Robert Collins)
247
248
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
249
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
250
251
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
252
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
253
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
254
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
255
(Robert Collins)
256
257
TESTING:
258
259
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
260
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
261
262
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
263
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
264
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
265
makes this behavior available to other users.
266
(Martin Pool)

269
bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
270
===================
271
272
BUG FIXES:
273
274
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
275
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
276
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
277
278
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
279
280
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
281
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
282
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
283
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
284
285
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
286
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
287
(Andrew Bennetts)
288
289
290
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
291
======================
292
293
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
294
in bzrlib/remote.py.
295
296
297
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
298
======================
299
300
CHANGES:
301
302
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
303
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
304
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
305
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
306
(Martin Pool)
307
308
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
309
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
310
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
311
(Ian Clatworthy)
312
313
FEATURES:
314
315
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
316
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
317
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
318
(Lukáš Lalinský)
319
320
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
321
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
322
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
323
324
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
325
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
326
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
327
328
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
329
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
330
331
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
332
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
333
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
334
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
335
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
336
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
337
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
338
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
339
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
340
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
341
342
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
343
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
344
345
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
346
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
347
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
348
349
BUG FIXES:
350
351
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
352
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
353
354
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
355
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
356
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
357
358
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
359
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
360
361
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
362
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
363
364
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
365
(Aaron Bentley)
366
367
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
368
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
369
370
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
371
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
372
373
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
374
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
375
376
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
377
(Blake Winton, #129299)
378
379
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
380
381
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
382
Watkins, #106726)
383
384
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
385
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
386
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
387
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
388
389
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
390
391
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
392
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
393
#133548)
394
395
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
396
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
397
398
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
399
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
400
#116143)
401
402
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
403
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
404
405
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
406
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
407
408
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
409
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
410
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
411
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
412
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
413
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
414
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
415
416
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
417
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
418
419
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
420
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
421
422
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
423
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
424
425
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
426
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
427
428
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
429
connections.
430
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
431
432
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
433
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
434
435
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
436
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
437
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
438
439
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
440
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
441
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
442
443
IMPROVEMENTS:
444
445
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
446
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
447
448
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
449
(Aaron Bentley)
450
451
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
452
(Aaron Bentley)
453
454
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
455
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
456
457
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
458
459
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
460
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
461
462
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
463
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
464
465
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
466
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
467
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
468
space). (Robert Collins)
469
470
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
471
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
472
(Ian Clatworthy)
473
474
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
475
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
476
477
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
478
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
479
480
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
481
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
482
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
483
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
484
485
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
486
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
487
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
488
(Lukáš Lalinský)
489
490
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
491
(Ian Clatworthy)
492
493
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
494
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
495
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
496
497
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
498
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
499
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
500
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
501
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
502
503
API BREAKS:
504
505
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
506
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
507
508
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
509
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
510
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
511
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
512
affected. (Robert Collins)
513
514
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
515
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
516
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
517
(Robert Collins)
518
519
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
520
previous release. (Martin Pool)
521
522
TESTING:
523
524
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
525
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
526
527
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
528
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
529
530
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
531
previous release. (Martin Pool)
532
533
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
534
(Aaron Bentley)
535
536
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
537
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
538
539
INTERNALS:
540
541
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
542
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
543
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
544
its version information. (Robert Collins)
545
546
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
547
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
548
549
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
550
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
551
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
552
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
553
554
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
555
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
556
present. (Robert Collins)
557
558
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
559
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
560
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
561
API. (Robert Collins)
562
563
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
564
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
565
(Robert Collins)
566
567
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
568
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
569
570
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
571
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
572
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
573
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
574
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
575
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
576
577
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
578
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
579
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
580
581
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
582
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
583
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
584
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
585
protocol.
586
587
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
588
(Aaron Bentley)
589
590
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
591
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
592
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
593
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
594
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
595
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
596
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
597
598
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
599
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
600
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
601
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
602
603
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
604
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
605
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
606
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
607
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
608
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
609
610
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
611
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
612
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
613
614
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
615
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
616
617
618
bzr 0.90 2007-08-28
619
===================
620
621
IMPROVEMENTS:
622
623
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
624
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
625
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
626
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
627
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
628
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
629
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
630
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
631
632
633
API CHANGES:
634
635
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
636
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
637
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
638
639
640
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
641
======================
642
643
BUGFIXES:
644
645
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
646
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
647
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
648
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
649
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
650
651
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
652
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
653
654
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
655
anymore.
656
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
657
658
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
659
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
660
(Vincent Ladeuil)
661
662
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
663
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
664
#111664)
665
666
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
667
(Lukáš Lalinský)
668
669
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
670
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
671
672
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
673
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
674
675
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
676
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
677
678
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
679
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
680
681
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
682
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
683
684
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
685
(Aaron Bentley)
686
687
IMPROVEMENTS:
688
689
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
690
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
691
692
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
693
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
694
695
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
696
the repository (Robert Collins)
697
698
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
699
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
700
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
701
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
702
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
703
704
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
705
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
706
707
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
708
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
709
(John Arbash Meinel)
710
711
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
712
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
713
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
714
about 10%).
715
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
716
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
717
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
718
(John Arbash Meinel)
719
720
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
721
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
722
(Robert Collins)
723
724
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
725
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
726
727
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
728
(Ian Clatworthy)
729
730
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
731
732
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
733
734
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
735
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
736
737
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
738
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
739
Meinel)
740
741
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
742
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
743
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
744
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
745
746
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
747
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
748
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
749
750
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
751
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
752
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
753
754
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
755
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
756
757
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
758
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
759
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
760
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
761
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
762
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
763
(Ian Clatworthy)
764
765
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
766
(Alexander Belchenko)
767
768
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
769
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
770
771
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
772
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
773
774
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
775
776
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
777
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
778
779
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
780
781
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
782
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
783
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
784
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
785
786
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
787
788
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
789
(Robert Collins)
790
791
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
792
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
793
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
794
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
795
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
796
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
797
798
INTERNALS:
799
800
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
801
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
802
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
803
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
804
805
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
806
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
807
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
808
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
809
tests have been refactored too.
810
(Vincent Ladeuil)
811
812
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
813
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
814
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
815
list, it will.
816
(Vincent Ladeuil)
817
818
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
819
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
820
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
821
822
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
823
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
824
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
825
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
826
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
827
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
828
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
829
830
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
831
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
832
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
833
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
834
(John Arbash Meinel)
835
836
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
837
functionality for testing.
838
839
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
840
841
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
842
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
843
844
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
845
846
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
847
(Robert Collins)
848
849
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
850
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
851
852
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
853
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
854
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
855
856
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
857
(Aaron Bentley)
858
859
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
860
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
861
862
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
863
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
864
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
865
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
866
867
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
868
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
869
870
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
871
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
872
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
873
874
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
875
(Marius Kruger)
876
877
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
878
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
879
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
880
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
881
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
882
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
883
884
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
885
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
886
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
887
many files. (Robert Collins)
888
889
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
890
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
891
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
892
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
893
894
TESTING:
895
896
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
897
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
898
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
899
900
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
901
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
902
903
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
904
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
905
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

919
BUGFIXES:
920
921
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
922
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
923
924
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
925
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
926
(James Westby, #122656)
927
928
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
929
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
930
931
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
932
authentication header.
933
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
934
935
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
936
937
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
938
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
939
940
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
941
942
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
943
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
944
945
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
946
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
947
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
948
949
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
950
individually and as part of revision ranges.
951
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
952
953
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
954
(Martin Pool, #109169)
955
956
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
957
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
958
959
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
960
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
961
962
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
963
964
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
965
966
IMPROVEMENTS:
967
968
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
969
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
970
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
971
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
972
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
973
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
974
975
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
976
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
977
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
978
979
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
980
(Elliot Murphy)
981
982
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
983
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
984
985
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
986
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
987
988
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
989
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
990
991
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
992
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
993
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
994
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
995
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
996
997
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
998
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
999
1000
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
1001
can be slow it is useful feedback).
1002
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
1003
1004
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
1005
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
1006
1007
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
1008
1009
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
1010
output. (Aaron Bentley)
1011
1012
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
1013
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
1014
(Robert Collins)
1015
1016
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
1017
(Martin Pool)
1018
1019
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
1020
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
1021
1022
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
1023
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
1024
1025
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
1026
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
1027
1028
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
1029
1030
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
1031
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
1032
1033
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
1034
(Andrew Bennetts)
1035
1036
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
1037
1038
* Testing cleanups -
1039
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1040
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
1041
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1042
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
1043
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1044
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
1045
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1046
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
1047
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1048
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
1049
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
1050
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
1051
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1052
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
1053
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1054
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
1055
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
1056
(Robert Collins)
1057
1058
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
1059
1060
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
1061
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
1062
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
1063
1064
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
1065
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
1066
1067
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
1068
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1069
1070
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
1071
1072
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
1073
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
1074
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
1075
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
1076
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
1077
same location. (Robert Collins)
1078
1079
INTERNALS:
1080
1081
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
1082
1083
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
1084
1085
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
1086
1087
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
1088
(Martin Pool)
1089
1090
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
1091
(Martin Pool)
1092
1093
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
1094
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
1095
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
1096
1097
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
1098
1099
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
1100
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
1101
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
1102
1103
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
1104
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
1105
1106
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
1107
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
1108
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
1109
1110
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
1111
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
1112
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
1113
1114
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
1115
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
1116
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
1117
1118
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
1119
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
1120
Martin Pool)
1121
1122
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
1123
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
1124
1125
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
1126
(Alexander Belchenko)
1127
1128
TESTING:
1129
1130
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
1131
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
1132
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
1133
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1134
1135
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
1136
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
1137
testing. (Robert Collins)
1138
1139
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
1140
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
1141
1142
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
1143
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
1144
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
1145
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
1146
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
1147
attribute during the test parameterisation in
1148
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
1149
1150
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
1151
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
1152
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
1153
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
1154
1155
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
1156
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
1157
1158
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
1159
avoid useless cloning.

1178
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1179
1180
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
1181
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
1182
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
1183
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
1184
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
1185
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
1186
and unlock() like so::
1187
1188
work_tree.lock_read()
1189
try:
1190
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
1191
finally:
1192
work_tree.unlock()
1193
1194
INTERNALS:
1195
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
1196
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
1197
object.
1198
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
1199
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
1200
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
1201
1202
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
1203
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
1204
too. (Robert Collins)
1205
1206
IMPROVEMENTS:
1207
1208
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
1209
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
1210
Aaron Bentley)
1211
1212
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
1213
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
1214
1215
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
1216
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
1217
1218
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
1219
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
1220
understanding what changes have occurred
1221
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
1222
1223
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
1224
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
1225
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1226
1227
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
1228
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
1229
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
1230
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
1231
1232
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
1233
#56322)
1234
1235
BUGFIXES:
1236
1237
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
1238
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
1239
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
1240
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
1241
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
1242
1243
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
1244
based on split paths, not just string paths.
1245
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
1246
1247
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
1248
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
1249
1250
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
1251
into account.
1252
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
1253
1254
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
1255
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
1256
1257
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
1258
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
1259
1260
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
1261
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
1262
1263
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
1264
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
1265
1266
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
1267
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
1268
1269
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
1270
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
1271
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

1276
BUGFIXES:
1277
1278
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
1279
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
1280
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
1281
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
1282
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
1283
1284
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
1285
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
1286
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
1287
1288
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
1289
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
1290
1291
IMPROVEMENTS:
1292
1293
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
1294
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
1295
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
1296
1297
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
1298
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
1299
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of

both. (John Arbash Meinel)

1307
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
1308
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
1309
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
1310
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
1311
1312
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
1313
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
1314
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
1315
1316
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
1317
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)

to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
1321
1322
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned

1328
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1329
1330
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
1331
it could be recovered again.
1332
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
1333
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
1334
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
1335
but not delete it.
1336
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
1337
files.
1338
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.

IMPROVEMENTS:
1342
1343
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
1344
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
1345
1346
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
1347
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
1348
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
1349
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
1350
1351
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
1352
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
1353
1354
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
1355
tests with names that match that regular expression.
1356
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
1357
1358
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
1359
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
1360
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
1361
1362
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
1363
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
1364
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
1365
1366
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
1367
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
1368
Robert Collins)
1369
1370
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
1371
Pool)
1372
1373
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
1374
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
1375
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
1376
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
1377
1378
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
1379
(Robert Collins)
1380
1381
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
1382
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
1383
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
1384
(Robert Collins)
1385
1386
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
1387
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
1388
1389
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
1390
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
1391
1392
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
1393
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
1394
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
1395
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
1396
(Robert Collins)
1397
1398
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
1399
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
1400
1401
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
1402
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
1403
1404
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
1405
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
1406
(Robert Collins, #107125).
1407
1408
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
1409
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
1410
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
1411
1412
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
1413
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
1414
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1415
1416
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
1417
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
1418
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
1419
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
1420
1421
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
1422
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
1423
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
1424
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
1425
1426
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
1427
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
1428
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
1429
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
1430
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
1431
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
1432
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
1433
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
1434
header(s).
1435
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1436
1437
INTERNALS:
1438
1439
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
1440
code paths. (Robert Collins)
1441
1442
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
1443
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
1444
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
1445
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
1446
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1447
1448
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
1449
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
1450
1451
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
1452
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
1453
1454
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
1455
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
1456
1457
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
1458
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
1459
1460
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
1461
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
1462
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
1463
(Robert Collins).
1464
1465
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
1466
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
1467
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
1468
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
1469
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
1470
(Robert Collins)
1471
1472
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
1473
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
1474
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
1475
1476
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
1477
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
1478
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1479
1480
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
1481
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
1482
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
1483
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1484
1485
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
1486
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
1487
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
1488
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
1489
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
1490
1491
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
1492
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
1493
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
1494
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1495
1496
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
1497
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1498
1499
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
1500
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
1501
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
1502
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
1503
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
1504
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
1505
1506
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
1507
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
1508
1509
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
1510
help. (Robert Collins)
1511
1512
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
1513
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1514
1515
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
1516
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
1517
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
1518
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
1519
(John Arbash Meinel)
1520
1521
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
1522
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
1523
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
1524
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
1525
useful. (Robert Collins)
1526
1527
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
1528
(Andrew Bennetts)
1529
1530
BUGFIXES:
1531
1532
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
1533
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
1534
1535
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
1536
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
1537
1538
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
1539
properly and is no longer beneficial.
1540
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
1541
1542
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
1543
(Aaron Bentley)
1544
1545
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
1546
the file, and does it faster.
1547
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
1548
1549
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
1550
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
1551
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
1552
1553
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
1554
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
1555
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
1556
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
1557
1558
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
1559
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
1560
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
1561
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
1562
1563
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
1564
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
1565
1566
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
1567
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
1568
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
1569
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
1570
Arbash Meinel)
1571
1572
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
1573
1574
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
1575
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
1576
1577
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
1578
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
1579
1580
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
1581
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
1582
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
1583
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
1584
security hole.
1585
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1586
1587
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
1588
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
1589
1590
TESTING:
1591
1592
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
1593
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
1594
in running it. (Robert Collins)
1595
1596
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
1597
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
1598
1599
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
1600
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
1601
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
1602
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
1603
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
1604
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
1605
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
1606
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1607
1608
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
1609
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
1610
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1611
1612
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
1613
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
1614
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
1615
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
1616
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
1617
access.
1618
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1619
1620
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
1621
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
1622
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1623
1624
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
1625
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

1643
CHANGES:
1644
1645
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
1646
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
1647
(Martin Pool)
1648
1649
IMPROVEMENTS:
1650
1651
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
1652
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
1653
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
1654
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
1655
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
1656
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
1657
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
1658
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
1659
path. (vila)
1660
1661
INTERNALS:
1662
1663
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
1664
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
1665
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
1666
1667
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
1668
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
1669
(Martin Pool)
1670
1671
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
1672
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
1673
(John Arbash Meinel)
1674
1675
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
1676
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
1677
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
1678
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
1679
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
1680
1681
BUGFIXES:
1682
1683
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
1684
(vila, #92195)
1685
1686
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
1687
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
1688
1689
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
1690
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
1691
1692
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
1693
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
1694
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
1695
1696
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
1697
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
1698
1699
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
1700
last-changed-revision for directories. The
1701
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
1702
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
1703
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
1704
1705
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
1706
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
1707
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
1708
1709
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

1713
=======================
1714
1715
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1716
1717
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
1718
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
1719
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
1720
1721
IMPROVEMENTS:
1722
1723
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
1724
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
1725
1726
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
1727
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
1728
1729
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1730
1731
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
1732
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
1733
1734
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
1735
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
1736
1737
INTERNALS:
1738
1739
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
1740
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
1741
1742
BUGFIXES:
1743
1744
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
1745
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
1746
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
1747
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
1748
1749
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
1750
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
1751
1752
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
1753
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
1754
1755
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
1756
(Marien Zwart)
1757
1758
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
1763
=======================
1764
1765
SURPRISES:
1766
1767
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
1768
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
1769
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
1770
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
1771
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
1772
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
1773
1774
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
1775
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
1776
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
1777
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
1778
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
1779
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
1780
development.
1781
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1782
1783
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
1784
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
1785
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
1786
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
1787
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
1788
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
1789
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
1790
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1791
1792
IMPROVEMENTS:
1793
1794
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
1795
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
1796
1797
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
1798
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
1799
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
1800
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
1801
does exist.
1802
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
1803
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
1804
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
1805
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
1806
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
1807
1808
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
1809
(Aaron Bentley)
1810
1811
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
1812
(Aaron Bentley)
1813
1814
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
1815
(Robert Collins)
1816
1817
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
1818
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
1819
(Aaron Bentley)
1820
1821
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
1822
(Aaron Bentley)
1823
1824
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
1825
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
1826
1827
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
1828
directory. (Martin Pool)
1829
1830
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
1831
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
1832
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
1833
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
1834
1835
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
1836
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
1837
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
1838
in docs/configuration.txt.
1839
1840
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
1841
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
1842
bind location.
1843
1844
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
1845
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
1846
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
1847
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
1848
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
1849
repositories. (Martin Pool)
1850
1851
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
1852
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1853
1854
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
1855
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
1856
1857
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
1858
(Aaron Bentley)
1859
1860
INTERNALS:
1861
1862
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
1863
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
1864
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
1865
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
1866
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
1867
(John Arbash Meinel)
1868
1869
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
1870
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
1871
(Aaron Bentley)
1872
1873
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
1874
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
1875
(John Arbash Meinel)
1876
1877
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
1878
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
1879
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
1880
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
1881
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
1882
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
1883
1884
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
1885
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
1886
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
1887
1888
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
1889
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
1890
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
1891
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
1892
repository.
1893
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1894
1895
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
1896
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
1897
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
1898
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
1899
1900
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
1901
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
1902
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
1903
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
1904
1905
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
1906
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
1907
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
1908
1909
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
1910
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
1911
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
1912
1913
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
1914
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
1915
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
1916
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
1917
1918
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
1919
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
1920
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
1921
1922
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
1923
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
1924
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
1925
1926
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
1927
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
1928
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
1929
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
1930
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
1931
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
1932
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
1933
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
1934
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
1935
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
1936
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
1937
1938
BUGFIXES:
1939
1940
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
1941
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
1942
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
1943
1944
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
1945
(Aaron Bentley)
1946
1947
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
1948
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
1949
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
1950
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
1951
1952
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
1953
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
1954
#83954).
1955
1956
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
1957
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
1958
1959
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
1960
1961
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
1962
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
1963
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
1964
1965
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
1966
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
1967
1968
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
1969
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
1970
1971
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
1972
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
1973
1974
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
1975
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
1976
1977
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
1978
1979
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
1980
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
1981
1982
TESTING:
1983
1984
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests

====================
1990
1991
IMPROVEMENTS:
1992
1993
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
1994
1995
BUG FIXES:
1996
1997
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
1998
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
1999
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
2000
2001
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
2002
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
2003
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

2005
2006
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
2007
=======================
2008
2009
IMPROVEMENTS:
2010
2011
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
2012
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
2013
server, then you can write over the http connection.
2014
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2015
2016
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
2017
(Marius Kruger)
2018
2019
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
2020
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
2021
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2022
2023
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
2024
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
2025
2026
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
2027
(Aaron Bentley)
2028
2029
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
2030
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
2031
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
2032
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
2033
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
2034
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
2035
2036
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
2037
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
2038
should enable you to do::
2039
2040
[/home/user/project]
2041
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
2042
push_location:policy = appendpath
2043
2044
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
2045
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
2046
(James Henstridge)
2047
2048
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
2049
for each file. For example::
2050
2051
$ bzr status --short
2052
A foo
2053
A bar
2054
D baz
2055
? wooley
2056
2057
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
2058
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
2059
2060
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
2061
2062
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
2063
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
2064
2065
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
2066
2067
INTERNALS:
2068
2069
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
2070
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
2071
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
2072
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
2073
2074
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
2075
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
2076
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
2077
2078
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2079
2080
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
2081
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
2082
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
2083
(Alexander Belchenko)
2084
2085
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
2086
Pool)
2087
2088
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
2089
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
2090
2091
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
2092
2093
BUG FIXES:
2094
2095
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
2096
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
2097
2098
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
2099
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
2100
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
2101
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
2102
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
2103
2104
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
2105
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
2106
2107
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
2108
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
2109
2110
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
2111
matcher.
2112
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
2113
2114
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
2115
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
2116
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
2117
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
2118
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
2119
2120
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
2121
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
2122
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
2123
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
2124
2125
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
2126
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
2127
2128
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
2129
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
2130
2131
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
2132
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)

IMPROVEMENTS:
2147
2148
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
2149
tree from a branch.
2150
(Daniel Silverstone)
2151
2152
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
2153
operations are substantially faster.
2154
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
2155
2156
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
2157
tree from some other url. For example:
2158
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
2159
(Daniel Silverstone)
2160
2161
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
2162
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
2163
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
2164
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
2165
2166
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
2167
(Andrew Bennetts)
2168
2169
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
2170
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
2171
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
2172
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
2173
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
2174
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
2175
2176
INTERNALS:
2177
2178
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
2179
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
2180
(Martin Pool)
2181
2182
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2183
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2184
(John Arbash Meinel)
2185
2186
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
2187
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
2188
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
2189
(John Arbash Meinel)
2190
2191
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
2192
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
2193
2194
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
2195
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2196
2197
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
2198
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
2199
Bennetts)
2200
2201
BUG FIXES:
2202
2203
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
2204
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
2205
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
2206
2207
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
2208
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
2209
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
2210
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
2211
2212
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
2213
2214
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
2215
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
2216
2217
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
2218
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
2219
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
2220
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
2221
2222
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
2223
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
2224
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
2225
2226
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
2227
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
2228
them as full references rather than integers.
2229
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
2230
2231
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
2232
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
2233
2234
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
2235
2236
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
2237
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
2238
2239
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.

* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
2243
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
2244
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
2245
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
2246
2247
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
2248
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
2249
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
2250
2251
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
2252
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
2253
2254
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
2255
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
2256
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
2257
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
2258
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
2259
2260
TESTING:
2261
2262
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
2263
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

2266
====================
2267
2268
INTERNALS:
2269
2270
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2271
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.

2274
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
2275
=======================
2276
2277
IMPROVEMENTS:
2278
2279
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
2280
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
2281
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
2282
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
2283
2284
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
2285
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
2286
2287
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
2288
2289
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
2290
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
2291
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
2292
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2293
2294
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
2295
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
2296
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
2297
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
2298
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
2299
2300
API INCOMPATABILITY:
2301
2302
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
2303
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
2304
2305
INTERNALS:
2306
2307
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
2308
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
2309
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2310
2311
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
2312
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
2313
(John Arbash Meinel)
2314
2315
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
2316
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
2317
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
2318
2319
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
2320
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
2321
(Aaron Bentley)
2322
2323
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
2324
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
2325
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2326
2327
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
2328
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
2329
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
2330
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
2331
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
2332
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2333
2334
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
2335
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
2336
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
2337
(Robert Collins)
2338
2339
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
2340
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
2341
2342
BUG FIXES:
2343
2344
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
2345
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
2346
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
2347
#63360, #66349)
2348
2349
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
2350
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
2351
2352
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
2353
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
2354
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
2355
2356
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
2357
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
2358
2359
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
2360
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
2361
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
2362
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
2363
2364
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
2365
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
2366
2367
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
2368
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
2369
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
2370
2371
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
2372
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
2373
2374
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2375
2376
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
2377
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
2378
#32054)
2379
2380
TESTING:
2381
2382
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
2383
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
2384
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
2385
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
2386
2387
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
2388
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
2389
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2390
2391
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
2402

* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
2404

2405
2406
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
2407
=======================
2408
2409
IMPROVEMENTS:
2410
2411
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
2412
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
2413
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
2414
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
2415
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
2416
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
2417
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
2418
2419
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
2420
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
2421
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
2422
2423
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
2424
2425
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
2426
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
2427
2428
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
2429
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
2430
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
2431
(Robert Collins)
2432
2433
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
2434
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
2435
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
2436
(John Arbash Meinel)
2437
2438
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
2439
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
2440
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
2441
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
2442
Pool)
2443
2444
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
2445
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
2446
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
2447
(John Arbash Meinel)
2448
2449
BUG FIXES:
2450
2451
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
2452
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
2453
2454
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
2455
2456
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
2457
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
2458
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
2459
2460
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
2461
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
2462
2463
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
2464
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
2465
2466
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
2467
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
2468
2469
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
2470
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
2471
2472
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
2473
2474
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
2475
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
2476
2477
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
2478
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
2479
2480
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
2481
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
2482
2483
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
2484
(John Arbash Meinel)
2485
2486
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
2487
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
2488
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
2489
2490
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
2491
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2492
2493
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
2494
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
2495
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
2496
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
2497
2498
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
2499
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
2500
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
2501
2502
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
2503
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
2504
2505
PORTABILITY:
2506
2507
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
2508
2509
INTERNALS:
2510
2511
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
2512
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
2513
(John Arbash Meinel)
2514
2515
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
2516
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
2517
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
2518
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2519
2520
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
2521
(Andrew Bennetts)
2522
2523
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
2524
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
2525
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
2526
2527
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
2528
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
2529
2530
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
2531
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
2532
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
2533
2534
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
2535
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
2536
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
2537
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
2538
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
2539
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
2540
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
2541
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
2542
caller to repeat their request.
2543
(John Arbash Meinel)
2544
2545
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
2546
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
2547
2548
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
2549
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
2550
2551
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
2552
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
2553
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
2554
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
2555
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
2556
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
2557
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
2558
2559
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
2560
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
2561
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
2562
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
2563
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
2564
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
2565
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
2566
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
2567
(Robert Collins)
2568
2569
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
2570
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
2571
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
2572
2573
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
2574
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
2575
2576
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
2577
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
2578
2579
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
2580
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2581
2582
TESTING:
2583
2584
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
2585
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
2586
2587
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
2588
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
2589
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2590
2591
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
2592
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
2593
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2594
2595
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
2596
====================
2597
2598
IMPROVEMENTS:
2599
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
2600
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
2601
2602
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
2603
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
2604
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
2605
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
2606
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
2607
2608
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
2609
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
2610
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
2611
2612
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
2613
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
2614
2615
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
2616
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
2617
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2618
2619
BUG FIXES:
2620
2621
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
2622
2623
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
2624
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
2625
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
2626
2627
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
2628
2629
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
2630
2631
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
2632
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
2633
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
2634
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
2635
2636
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
2637
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
2638
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
2639
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
2640
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
2641
2642
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
2643
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
2644
2645
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
2646
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
2647
2648
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
2649
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
2650
2651
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
2652
in handling of revision properties.
2653
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
2654
2655
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
2656
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
2657
2658
INTERNALS:
2659
2660
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
2661
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
2662
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
2663
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
2664
(John Arbash Meinel)
2665
2666
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
2667
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
2668
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)

* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
2676
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
2677
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
2678
specific one '.bzrignore'.
2679
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
2680
a more conservative list than the old default.
2681
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
2682
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
2683
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
2684
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
2685
2686
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
2687
to more locations than just branch locations.
2688
(Aaron Bentley)
2689
2690
IMPROVEMENTS:
2691
2692
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
2693
revno:N:branch. For example,
2694
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
2695
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
2696
2697
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
2698
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
2699
the path of a file that has been versioned.
2700
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
2701
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
2702
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
2703
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
2704
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
2705
#42517, #42514)
2706
2707
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
2708
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
2709
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
2710
(Malone #3507)
2711
2712
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
2713
(Alexander Belchenko)
2714
2715
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
2716
2717
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
2718
(Robert Collins).
2719
2720
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
2721
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
2722
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
2723
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
2724
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
2725
(John Arbash Meinel)
2726
2727
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
2728
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
2729
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
2730
grained analysis of performance.
2731
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2732
2733
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
2734
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
2735
2736
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
2737
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
2738
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
2739
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
2740
file. (Robert Collins).
2741
2742
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
2743
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
2744
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
2745
2746
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
2747
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
2748
Matthieu Moy)
2749
2750
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
2751
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
2752
2753
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
2754
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
2755
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
2756
the same way you would apply another branch.
2757
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
2758
2759
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
2760
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
2761
2762
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
2763
(Michael Ellerman)
2764
2765
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
2766
(Aaron Bentley)
2767
2768
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
2769
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
2770
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
2771
2772
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
2773
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
2774
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
2775
2776
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
2777
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
2778
2779
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
2780
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
2781
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
2782
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
2783
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
2784
2785
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
2786
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
2787
2788
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
2789
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
2790
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
2791
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
2792
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
2793
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
2794
branch is as much as 4x faster.
2795
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
2796
2797
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
2798
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
2799
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
2800
2801
BUG FIXES:
2802
2803
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
2804
tests not to run.
2805
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
2806
2807
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
2808
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2809
2810
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
2811
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
2812
2813
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
2814
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
2815
2816
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
2817
2818
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
2819
(John Arbash Meinel)
2820
2821
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
2822
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
2823
2824
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
2825
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
2826
and y.
2827
2828
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
2829
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
2830
2831
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
2832
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
2833
2834
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
2835
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
2836
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
2837
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
2838
2839
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
2840
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
2841
2842
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
2843
2844
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
2845
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
2846
2847
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
2848
2849
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
2850
2851
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
2852
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
2853
2854
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
2855
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
2856
2857
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
2858
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
2859
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
2860
2861
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
2862
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
2863
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
2864
2865
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
2866
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
2867
2868
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
2869
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
2870
2871
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
2872
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
2873
2874
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
2875
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
2876
2877
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
2878
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
2879
2880
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
2881
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
2882
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
2883
2884
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
2885
2886
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
2887
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
2888
2889
INTERNALS:
2890
2891
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
2892
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
2893
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
2894
2895
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
2896
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
2897
2898
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
2899
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
2900
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2901
2902
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
2903
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2904
2905
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
2906
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
2907
(Martin Pool)
2908
2909
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
2910
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
2911
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2912
2913
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
2914
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
2915
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2916
2917
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
2918
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
2919
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
2920
2921
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
2922
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
2923
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
2924
2925
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
2926
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
2927
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
2928
2929
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
2930
instead. (Robert Collins)
2931
2932
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

2947
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
2948
2949
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
2950
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2951
2952
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
2953
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.

CHANGES:
2966
2967
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
2968

2970
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
2971
2972
NEW FEATURES:
2973
2974
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into

new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2983
2984

2989
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
2990
===================
2991
2992
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2993
2994
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
2995
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
2996
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
2997
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
2998
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
2999
will keep the same format.
3000
3001
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
3002
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
3003
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
3004
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
3005
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
3006
3007
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
3008
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
3009
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
3010
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
3011
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
3012
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
3013
indicating the current revision of the branch.
3014
3015
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
3016
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
3017
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
3018
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
3019
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
3020
3021
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
3022
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
3023
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
3024
arrangement.
3025
3026
3027
IMPROVEMENTS:
3028
3029
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
3030
convention. Paths now take the form::
3031
3032
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
3033
or
3034
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
3035
3036
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
3037
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
3038
3039
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
3040
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
3041
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
3042
3043
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
3044
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
3045
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
3046
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
3047
3048
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
3049
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
3050
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
3051
3052
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
3053
3054
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
3055
3056
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
3057
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
3058
commits::
3059
3060
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
3061
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
3062
| xargs bzr re-sign
3063
3064
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
3065
3066
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
3067
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
3068
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
3069
(Robert Collins)
3070
3071
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
3072
3073
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
3074
3075
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
3076
'.moved'.
3077
3078
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
3079
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
3080
3081
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
3082
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
3083
Daniel Silverstone)
3084
3085
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
3086
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
3087
Martin Pool)
3088
3089
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
3090
3091
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
3092
3093
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
3094
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
3095
3096
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
3097
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
3098
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
3099
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
3100
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
3101
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
3102
3103
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
3104
3105
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
3106
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
3107
(Robert Collins)
3108
3109
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
3110
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
3111
3112
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
3113
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
3114
3115
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
3116
3117
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
3118
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
3119
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
3120
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
3121
specification by Martin Pool.
3122
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
3123
3124
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
3125
Belchenko)
3126
3127
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
3128
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3129
3130
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
3131
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
3132
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
3133
3134
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
3135
3136
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
3137
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
3138
(Robert Collins)
3139
3140
CHANGES:
3141
3142
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
3143
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3144
3145
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
3146
3147
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
3148
3149
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
3150
(Olaf Conradi)
3151
3152
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
3153
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
3154
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
3155
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
3156
3157
INTERNALS:
3158
3159
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
3160
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
3161
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
3162
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3163
3164
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
3165
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
3166
tried. (Martin Pool)
3167
3168
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
3169
(Martin Pool)
3170
3171
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
3172
3173
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
3174
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
3175
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
3176
3177
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
3178
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
3179
3180
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
3181
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
3182
paths. (Robert Collins)
3183
3184
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
3185
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
3186
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
3187
3188
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
3189
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
3190
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
3191
3192
* Progress bars are now nested - see
3193
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
3194
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3195
3196
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
3197
(Olaf Conradi)
3198
3199
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
3200
(Olaf Conradi)
3201
3202
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
3203
3204
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
3205
3206
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
3207
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
3208
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
3209
(Robert Collins)
3210
3211
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
3212
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
3213
3214
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
3215
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
3216
check. (Robert Collins)
3217
3218
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
3219
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
3220
3221
TESTING:
3222
3223
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
3224
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
3225
3226
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
3227
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
3228
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
3229
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
3230
3231
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
3232
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
3233
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
3234
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
3235
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
3236
3237
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
3238
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
3239
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
3240
3241
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
3242
3243
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
3244
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
3245

bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
3247
==================
3248
3249
CHANGES:
3250
3251
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
3252
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
3253
3254
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
3255
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
3256
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
3257
(Johan Rydberg)
3258
3259
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
3260
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
3261
3262
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
3263
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
3264
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
3265
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
3266
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3267
3268
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
3269
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
3270
used. (Robert Collins)
3271
3272
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
3273
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
3274
(James Henstridge)
3275
3276
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
3277
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
3278
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
3279
3280
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
3281
ignore list.
3282
3283
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
3284
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
3285
3286
IMPROVEMENTS:
3287
3288
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
3289
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
3290
3291
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
3292
3293
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
3294
3295
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
3296
tree. (Robert Collins)
3297
3298
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
3299
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
3300
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
3301
(Robert Collins)
3302
3303
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
3304
that they be kept.
3305
3306
* Tweaks to short log printing
3307
3308
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
3309
(Aaron Bentley)
3310
3311
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
3312
occurs. (Martin Pool)
3313
3314
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
3315
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
3316
3317
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
3318
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
3319
3320
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
3321
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
3322
settings. (Magnus Therning)
3323
3324
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
3325
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3326
3327
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
3328
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
3329
requests.
3330
3331
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
3332
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
3333
3334
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
3335
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
3336
3337
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
3338
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
3339
3340
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
3341
(Denys Duchier)
3342
3343
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
3344
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
3345
3346
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
3347
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
3348
3349
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
3350
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
3351
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
3352
3353
BUG FIXES:
3354
3355
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
3356
3357
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3358
3359
* Error when run with -OO
3360
3361
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
3362
(Martin Pool)
3363
3364
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
3365
3366
* Change status to 3 for all errors
3367
3368
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
3369
ignored by diff and status
3370
3371
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
3372
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
3373
3374
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
3375
3376
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
3377
3378
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
3379
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
3380
3381
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
3382
email address. (Marien Zwart)
3383
3384
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
3385
(Harald Meland)
3386
3387
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
3388
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3389
3390
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
3391
3392
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
3393
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
3394
3395
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
3396
(Martin Pool)
3397
3398
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
3399
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
3400
3401
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
3402
3403
TESTING:
3404
3405
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
3406
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
3407
3408
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3409
3410
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3411
3412
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
3413
3414
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
3415
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
3416
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3417
3418
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3419
3420
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
3421
(John Arbash Meinel)
3422
3423
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
3424
3425
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
3426
If adding a new test script please add that to
3427
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
3428
3429
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
3430
imported. (Martin Pool)
3431
3432
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
3433
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
3434
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
3435
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
3436
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
3437
(Robert Collins)
3438
3439
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
3440
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
3441
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
3442
3443
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
3444
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
3445
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3446
3447
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
3448
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
3449
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
3450
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
3451
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
3452
(Robert Collins).
3453
3454
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
3455
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
3456
(Robert Collins).
3457
3458
INTERNALS:
3459
3460
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
3461
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
3462
3463
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
3464
function. (Robert Collins)
3465
3466
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
3467
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
3468
if needed). (Robert Collins)
3469
3470
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
3471
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
3472
(Robert Collins)
3473
3474
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
3475
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
3476
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
3477
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
3478
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
3479
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
3480
version. (Robert Collins)
3481
3482
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
3483
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
3484
3485
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
3486
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
3487
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
3488
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
3489
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
3490
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
3491
3492
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
3493
(Robert Collins)
3494
3495
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
3496
3497
add()
3498
commit()
3499
move()
3500
rename_one()
3501
unknowns()
3502
3503
(Robert Collins)
3504
3505
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
3506
3507
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
3508
3509
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
3510
Pool)
3511
3512
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
3513
query method. (Robert Collins)
3514
3515
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
3516
(Denys Duchier)
3517
3518
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
3519
(Michael Ellerman)
3520
3521
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
3522
(Michael Ellerman)
3523
3524
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
3525
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
3526
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
3527
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
3528
3529
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
3530
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
3531
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
3532
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
3533
3534
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
3535
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
3536

bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
3538
==================
3539
3540
IMPROVEMENTS:
3541
3542
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
3543
(John A Meinel)
3544
3545
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
3546
conflicts.
3547
(Aaron Bentley)
3548
3549
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
3550
a separator, not ':'.
3551
(Aaron Bentley)
3552
3553
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
3554
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
3555
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
3556
3557
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
3558
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
3559
(Robert Collins)
3560
3561
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
3562
has been added that suppresses all output.
3563
3564
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
3565
Adams.
3566
3567
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
3568
Goffredo Baroncelli.
3569
3570
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
3571
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
3572
3573
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
3574
a revision. (Robert Collins)
3575
3576
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
3577
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
3578
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
3579
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
3580
3581
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
3582
3583
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
3584
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
3585
3586
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
3587
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
3588
3589
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
3590
output directory, if one was supplied.
3591
3592
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
3593
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
3594
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
3595
parameters. (Robert Collins)
3596
3597
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
3598
3599
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
3600
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
3601
3602
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
3603
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
3604
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
3605
3606
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
3607
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
3608
3609
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
3610
(Aaron Bentley)
3611
3612
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
3613
3614
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
3615
3616
TESTING:
3617
3618
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
3619
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
3620
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
3621
3622
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
3623
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
3624
related questions. (Robert Collins)
3625
3626
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
3627
is given. (Martin Pool)
3628
3629
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
3630
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
3631
file. (Robert Collins)
3632
3633
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
3634
(Martin Pool)
3635
3636
INTERNALS:
3637
3638
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
3639
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
3640
representation. (Martin Pool).
3641
3642
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
3643
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
3644
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
3645
3646
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3647
(Robert Collins)
3648
3649
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
3650
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
3651
Magnus Therning.
3652
3653
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3654
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
3655
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
3656
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
3657
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
3658
3659
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
3660
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
3661
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
3662
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
3663
python path. (Robert Collins)
3664
3665
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
3666
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
3667
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
3668
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
3669
3670
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
3671
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
3672
3673
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
3674
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
3675
(Robert Collins)
3676
3677
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
3678
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
3679
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
3680
3681
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
3682
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
3683
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
3684
3685
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3686
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3687
3688
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
3689
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
3690
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
3691
(Robert Collins)
3692
3693
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
3694
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
3695
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
3696
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
3697
(Robert Collins)
3698
3699
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
3700
(Robert Collins)
3701
3702
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
3703
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
3704
(Robert Collins)
3705
3706
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
3707
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
3708
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
3709
3710
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
3711
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
3712
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
3713
3714
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
3715
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
3716
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
3717
3718
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3719
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3720
3721
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
3722
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
3723
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
3724
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
3725
caller. (Robert Collins)
3726
3727
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
3728
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
3729
(Robert Collins).
3730
3731
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
3732
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
3733
(Aaron Bentley)
3734
3735
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
3736
3737
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
3738
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
3739
3740
BUG FIXES:
3741
3742
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
3743
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
3744
3745
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
3746
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

3749
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
3750
====================
3751
3752
BUG FIXES:
3753
3754
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
3755
allow directories to be listed.
3756
3757
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
3758
upgrading branch format.
3759
3760
PERFORMANCE:
3761
3762
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
3763
3764
3765
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
3766
==================
3767
3768
NOTES:
3769
3770
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
3771
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
3772
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
3773
high-latency connections.
3774
3775
BUG FIXES:
3776
3777
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
3778
Rob Weir.
3779
3780
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
3781
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
3782
3783
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
3784
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
3785
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
3786
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3787
3788
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
3789
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
3790
3791
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
3792
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
3793
3794
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
3795
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
3796
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3797
3798
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
3799
for files with only a change to their executable status.
3800
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
3801
Robert Collins
3802
3803
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
3804
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
3805
3806
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
3807
different partial views of history.
3808
3809
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
3810
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
3811
3812
IMPROVEMENTS:
3813
3814
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
3815
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
3816
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3817
3818
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
3819
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
3820
'bzr upgrade'.
3821
3822
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
3823
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
3824
3825
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
3826
Niemeyer.
3827
3828
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
3829
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
3830
3831
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
3832
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
3833
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
3834
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3835
3836
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
3837
3838
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
3839
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
3840
Gustavo Niemeyer.
3841
3842
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
3843
Contributed by Robert Collins.
3844
3845
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
3846
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
3847
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
3848
3849
3850
INTERNALS:
3851
3852
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
3853
for your viewing pleasure.
3854
3855
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
3856
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
3857
3858
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
3859
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
3860
handling of such circumstances.
3861
3862
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
3863
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
3864
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
3865
3866
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
3867
3868
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
3869
we call them revisions not patches.
3870
3871
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
3872
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
3873
3874
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
3875
giving the revision *of that file*.
3876
3877
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
3878
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
3879
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
3880
3881
TESTING:
3882
3883
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
3884
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
3885
3886
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
3887
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``

bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
3891
====================
3892
3893
BUG FIXES:
3894
3895
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
3896
3897
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
3898
(Robert Collins).
3899
3900
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
3901
3902
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
3903
3904
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
3905
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3906
3907
IMPROVEMENTS:
3908
3909
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
3910
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
3911
3912
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
3913
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
3914
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
3915
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
3916
Robey Pointer
3917
3918
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
3919
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3920
3921
INTERNALS:
3922
3923
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
3924
3925
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
3926
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)

3940
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
3941
(Nir Soffer)
3942
3943
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
3944
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
3945
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
3946
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
3947
for the operating system is still tried.
3948
3949
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
3950
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
3951
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
3952

4068
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
124
4069
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
125
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH and DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH are then added to the
4070
