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 ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
34
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
35
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
36
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
37
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developers/knitpack.html
38
for further details. (Robert Collins)
39
40
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
41
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
42
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
43
(Robert Collins)
44
45
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
46
47
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
48
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
49
50
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
51
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
52
(Aaron Bentley)
53
54
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
55
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
56
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
57
58
PERFORMANCE:
59
60
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
61
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
62
63
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
64
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
65
66
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
67
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
68
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
69
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
70
71
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
72
(Robert Collins, #88319)
73
74
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
75
(Robert Collins)
76
77
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
78
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
79
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
80
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
81
82
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
83
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
84
85
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
86
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
87
88
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
89
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
90
91
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
92
the contents. (Robert Collins)
93
94
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
95
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
96
97
IMPROVEMENTS:
98
99
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
100
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
101
102
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
103
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
104
105
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
106
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
107
108
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
109
(Martin Pool, #63894)
110
111
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
112
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
113
114
DOCUMENTATION:
115
116
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
117
118
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
119
(Ian Clatworthy)
120
121
BUG FIXES:
122
123
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
124
(Robert Collins, #157789)
125
126
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
127
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
128
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
129
130
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
131
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
132
133
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
134
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
135
136
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
137
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
138
139
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
140
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
141
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
142
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
143
144
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
145
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
146
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
147
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
148
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
149
150
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
151
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
152
paramiko.
153
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
154
155
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
156
157
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
158
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
159
160
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
161
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
162
163
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
164
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
165
166
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
167
contains a symbolic link.
168
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
169
170
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
171
(James Westby, #140615)
172
173
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
174
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
175
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
176
177
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
178
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
179
(Martin Pool, #144633)
180
181
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
182
183
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
184
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
185
186
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
187
will remain opened.
188
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
189
190
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
191
directory to detect leaking tests.
192
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
193
194
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
195
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
196
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
197
198
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
199
(Rob Weir, #141629)
200
201
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
202
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
203
204
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
205
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
206
207
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
208
Merwe)
209
210
API BREAKS:
211
212
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
213
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
214
215
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
216
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
217
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
218
219
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
220
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
221
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
222
223
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
224
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
225
226
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
227
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
228
229
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
230
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
231
(Martin Pool)
232
233
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
234
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
235
236
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
237
class that needs it.
238
(Martin Pool)
239
240
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
241
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
242
243
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
244
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
245
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
246
247
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
248
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
249
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
250
(Robert Collins)
251
252
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
253
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
254
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
255
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
256
(Robert Collins)
257
258
INTERNALS:
259
260
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
261
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
262
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
263
264
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
265
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
266
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
267
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
268
269
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
270
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
271
(Robert Collins)
272
273
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
274
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
275
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
276
277
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
278
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
279
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
280
281
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
282
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
283
284
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
285
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
286
to complete. (Robert Collins)
287
288
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
289
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
290
291
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
292
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
293
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
294
295
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
296
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
297
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
298
299
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
300
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
301
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
302
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
303
304
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
305
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
306
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
307
returned. (Robert Collins)
308
309
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
310
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
311
312
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
313
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
314
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
315
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
316
(Robert Collins)
317
318
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
319
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
320
321
TESTING:
322
323
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
324
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
325
326
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
327
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
328
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
329
makes this behavior available to other users.
330
(Martin Pool)
331
332
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
333
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
334
335
336
bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
337
===================
338
339
BUG FIXES:
340
341
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
342
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
343
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
344
345
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
346
347
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
348
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
349
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
350
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
351
352
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
353
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
354
(Andrew Bennetts)
355
356
357
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
358
======================
359
360
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
361
in bzrlib/remote.py.
362
363
364
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
365
======================
366
367
CHANGES:
368
369
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
370
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
371
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
372
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
373
(Martin Pool)
374
375
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
376
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
377
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
378
(Ian Clatworthy)
379
380
FEATURES:
381
382
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
383
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
384
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
385
(Lukáš Lalinský)
386
387
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
388
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
389
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
390
391
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
392
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
393
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
394
395
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
396
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
397
398
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
399
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
400
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
401
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
402
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
403
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
404
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
405
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
406
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
407
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
408
409
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
410
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
411
412
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
413
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
414
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
415
416
BUG FIXES:
417
418
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
419
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
420
421
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
422
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
423
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
424
425
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
426
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
427
428
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
429
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
430
431
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
432
(Aaron Bentley)
433
434
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
435
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
436
437
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
438
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
439
440
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
441
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
442
443
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
444
(Blake Winton, #129299)
445
446
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
447
448
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
449
Watkins, #106726)
450
451
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
452
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
453
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
454
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
455
456
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
457
458
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
459
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
460
#133548)
461
462
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
463
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
464
465
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
466
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
467
#116143)
468
469
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
470
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
471
472
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
473
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
474
475
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
476
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
477
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
478
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
479
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
480
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
481
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
482
483
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
484
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
485
486
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
487
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
488
489
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
490
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
491
492
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
493
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
494
495
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
496
connections.
497
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
498
499
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
500
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
501
502
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
503
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
504
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
505
506
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
507
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
508
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
509
510
IMPROVEMENTS:
511
512
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
513
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
514
515
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
516
(Aaron Bentley)
517
518
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
519
(Aaron Bentley)
520
521
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
522
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
523
524
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
525
526
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
527
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
528
529
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
530
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
531
532
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
533
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
534
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
535
space). (Robert Collins)
536
537
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
538
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
539
(Ian Clatworthy)
540
541
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
542
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
543
544
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
545
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
546
547
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
548
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
549
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
550
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
551
552
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
553
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
554
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
555
(Lukáš Lalinský)
556
557
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
558
(Ian Clatworthy)
559
560
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
561
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
562
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
563
564
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
565
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
566
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
567
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
568
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
569
570
API BREAKS:
571
572
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
573
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
574
575
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
576
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
577
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
578
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
579
affected. (Robert Collins)
580
581
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
582
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
583
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
584
(Robert Collins)
585
586
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
587
previous release. (Martin Pool)
588
589
TESTING:
590
591
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
592
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
593
594
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
595
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
596
597
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
598
previous release. (Martin Pool)
599
600
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
601
(Aaron Bentley)
602
603
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
604
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
605
606
INTERNALS:
607
608
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
609
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
610
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
611
its version information. (Robert Collins)
612
613
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
614
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
615
616
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
617
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
618
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
619
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
620
621
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
622
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
623
present. (Robert Collins)
624
625
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
626
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
627
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
628
API. (Robert Collins)
629
630
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
631
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
632
(Robert Collins)
633
634
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
635
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
636
637
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
638
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
639
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
640
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
641
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
642
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
643
644
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
645
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
646
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
647
648
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
649
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
650
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
651
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
652
protocol.
653
654
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
655
(Aaron Bentley)
656
657
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
658
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
659
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
660
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
661
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
662
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
663
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
664
665
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
666
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
667
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
668
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
669
670
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
671
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
672
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
673
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
674
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
675
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
676
677
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
678
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
679
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
680
681
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
682
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
683
684
685
bzr 0.90 2007-08-28
686
===================
687
688
IMPROVEMENTS:
689
690
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
691
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
692
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
693
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
694
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
695
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
696
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
697
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
698
699
700
API CHANGES:
701
702
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
703
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
704
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
705
706
707
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
708
======================
709
710
BUGFIXES:
711
712
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
713
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
714
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
715
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
716
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
717
718
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
719
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
720
721
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
722
anymore.
723
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
724
725
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
726
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
727
(Vincent Ladeuil)
728
729
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
730
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
731
#111664)
732
733
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
734
(Lukáš Lalinský)
735
736
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
737
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
738
739
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
740
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
741
742
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
743
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
744
745
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
746
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
747
748
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
749
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
750
751
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
752
(Aaron Bentley)
753
754
IMPROVEMENTS:
755
756
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
757
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
758
759
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
760
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
761
762
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
763
the repository (Robert Collins)
764
765
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
766
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
767
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
768
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
769
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
770
771
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
772
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
773
774
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
775
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
776
(John Arbash Meinel)
777
778
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
779
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
780
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
781
about 10%).
782
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
783
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
784
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
785
(John Arbash Meinel)
786
787
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
788
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
789
(Robert Collins)
790
791
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
792
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
793
794
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
795
(Ian Clatworthy)
796
797
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
798
799
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
800
801
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
802
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
803
804
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
805
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
806
Meinel)
807
808
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
809
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
810
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
811
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
812
813
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
814
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
815
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
816
817
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
818
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
819
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
820
821
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
822
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
823
824
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
825
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
826
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
827
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
828
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
829
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
830
(Ian Clatworthy)
831
832
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
833
(Alexander Belchenko)
834
835
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
836
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
837
838
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
839
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
840
841
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
842
843
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
844
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
845
846
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
847
848
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
849
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
850
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
851
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
852
853
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
854
855
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
856
(Robert Collins)
857
858
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
859
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
860
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
861
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
862
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
863
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
864
865
INTERNALS:
866
867
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
868
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
869
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
870
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
871
872
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
873
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
874
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
875
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
876
tests have been refactored too.
877
(Vincent Ladeuil)
878
879
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
880
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
881
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
882
list, it will.
883
(Vincent Ladeuil)
884
885
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
886
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
887
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
888
889
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
890
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
891
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
892
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
893
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
894
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
895
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
896
897
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
898
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
899
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
900
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
901
(John Arbash Meinel)
902
903
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
904
functionality for testing.
905
906
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
907
908
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
909
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
910
911
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
912
913
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
914
(Robert Collins)
915
916
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
917
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
918
919
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
920
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
921
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
922
923
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
924
(Aaron Bentley)
925
926
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
927
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
928
929
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
930
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
931
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
932
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
933
934
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
935
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
936
937
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
938
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
939
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
940
941
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
942
(Marius Kruger)
943
944
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
945
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
946
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
947
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
948
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
949
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
950
951
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
952
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
953
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
954
many files. (Robert Collins)
955
956
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
957
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
958
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
959
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
960
961
TESTING:
962
963
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
964
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
965
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
966
967
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
968
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
969
970
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
971
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
972
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
984
=======================
985
986
BUGFIXES:
987
988
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
989
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
990
991
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
992
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
993
(James Westby, #122656)
994
995
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
996
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
997
998
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
999
authentication header.
1000
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
1001
1002
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
1003
1004
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
1005
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
1006
1007
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
1008
1009
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
1010
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
1011
1012
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
1013
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
1014
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
1015
1016
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
1017
individually and as part of revision ranges.
1018
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
1019
1020
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
1021
(Martin Pool, #109169)
1022
1023
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
1024
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
1025
1026
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
1027
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
1028
1029
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1030
1031
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
1032
1033
IMPROVEMENTS:
1034
1035
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
1036
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
1037
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
1038
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
1039
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
1040
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
1041
1042
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
1043
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
1044
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
1045
1046
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
1047
(Elliot Murphy)
1048
1049
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
1050
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
1051
1052
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
1053
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
1054
1055
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
1056
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
1057
1058
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
1059
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
1060
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
1061
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
1062
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
1063
1064
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
1065
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
1066
1067
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
1068
can be slow it is useful feedback).
1069
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
1070
1071
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
1072
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
1073
1074
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
1075
1076
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
1077
output. (Aaron Bentley)
1078
1079
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
1080
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
1081
(Robert Collins)
1082
1083
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
1084
(Martin Pool)
1085
1086
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
1087
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
1088
1089
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
1090
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
1091
1092
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
1093
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
1094
1095
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
1096
1097
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
1098
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
1099
1100
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
1101
(Andrew Bennetts)
1102
1103
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
1104
1105
* Testing cleanups -
1106
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1107
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
1108
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1109
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
1110
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1111
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
1112
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1113
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
1114
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1115
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
1116
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
1117
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
1118
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1119
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
1120
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1121
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
1122
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
1123
(Robert Collins)
1124
1125
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
1126
1127
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
1128
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
1129
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
1130
1131
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
1132
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
1133
1134
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
1135
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1136
1137
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
1138
1139
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
1140
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
1141
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
1142
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
1143
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
1144
same location. (Robert Collins)
1145
1146
INTERNALS:
1147
1148
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
1149
1150
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
1151
1152
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
1153
1154
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
1155
(Martin Pool)
1156
1157
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
1158
(Martin Pool)
1159
1160
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
1161
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
1162
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
1163
1164
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
1165
1166
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
1167
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
1168
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
1169
1170
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
1171
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
1172
1173
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
1174
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
1175
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
1176
1177
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
1178
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
1179
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
1180
1181
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
1182
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
1183
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
1184
1185
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
1186
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
1187
Martin Pool)
1188
1189
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
1190
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
1191
1192
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
1193
(Alexander Belchenko)
1194
1195
TESTING:
1196
1197
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
1198
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
1199
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
1200
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1201
1202
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
1203
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
1204
testing. (Robert Collins)
1205
1206
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
1207
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
1208
1209
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
1210
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
1211
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
1212
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
1213
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
1214
attribute during the test parameterisation in
1215
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
1216
1217
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
1218
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
1219
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
1220
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
1221
1222
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
1223
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
1224
1225
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
1226
avoid useless cloning.

1245
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1246
1247
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
1248
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
1249
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
1250
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
1251
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
1252
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
1253
and unlock() like so::
1254
1255
work_tree.lock_read()
1256
try:
1257
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
1258
finally:
1259
work_tree.unlock()
1260
1261
INTERNALS:
1262
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
1263
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
1264
object.
1265
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
1266
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
1267
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
1268
1269
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
1270
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
1271
too. (Robert Collins)
1272
1273
IMPROVEMENTS:
1274
1275
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
1276
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
1277
Aaron Bentley)
1278
1279
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
1280
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
1281
1282
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
1283
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
1284
1285
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
1286
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
1287
understanding what changes have occurred
1288
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
1289
1290
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
1291
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
1292
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1293
1294
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
1295
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
1296
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
1297
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
1298
1299
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
1300
#56322)
1301
1302
BUGFIXES:
1303
1304
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
1305
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
1306
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
1307
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
1308
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
1309
1310
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
1311
based on split paths, not just string paths.
1312
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
1313
1314
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
1315
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
1316
1317
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
1318
into account.
1319
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
1320
1321
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
1322
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
1323
1324
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
1325
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
1326
1327
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
1328
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
1329
1330
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
1331
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
1332
1333
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
1334
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
1335
1336
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
1337
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
1338
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

1341
====================
1342
1343
BUGFIXES:
1344
1345
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
1346
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
1347
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
1348
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
1349
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
1350
1351
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
1352
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
1353
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
1354
1355
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
1356
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
1357
1358
IMPROVEMENTS:
1359
1360
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
1361
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
1362
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
1363
1364
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
1365
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
1366
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
1367
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

1370
=======================
1371
1372
BUGFIXES:
1373
1374
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
1375
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
1376
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
1377
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
1378
1379
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
1380
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.

(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
1382
1383
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
1384
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
1385
1386
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
1387
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
1388
1389
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
1390
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

1393
=======================
1394
1395
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1396
1397
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
1398
it could be recovered again.
1399
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
1400
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
1401
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
1402
but not delete it.
1403
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
1404
files.
1405
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
1406
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
1407
1408
IMPROVEMENTS:
1409
1410
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
1411
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
1412
1413
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
1414
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
1415
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
1416
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
1417
1418
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
1419
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
1420
1421
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
1422
tests with names that match that regular expression.
1423
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
1424
1425
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
1426
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
1427
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
1428
1429
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
1430
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
1431
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
1432
1433
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
1434
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
1435
Robert Collins)
1436
1437
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
1438
Pool)
1439
1440
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
1441
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
1442
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
1443
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
1444
1445
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
1446
(Robert Collins)
1447
1448
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
1449
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
1450
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
1451
(Robert Collins)
1452
1453
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
1454
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
1455
1456
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
1457
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
1458
1459
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
1460
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
1461
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
1462
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
1463
(Robert Collins)
1464
1465
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
1466
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
1467
1468
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
1469
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
1470
1471
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
1472
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
1473
(Robert Collins, #107125).
1474
1475
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
1476
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
1477
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
1478
1479
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
1480
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
1481
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1482
1483
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
1484
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
1485
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
1486
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
1487
1488
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
1489
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
1490
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
1491
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
1492
1493
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
1494
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
1495
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
1496
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
1497
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
1498
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
1499
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
1500
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
1501
header(s).
1502
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1503
1504
INTERNALS:
1505
1506
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
1507
code paths. (Robert Collins)
1508
1509
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
1510
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
1511
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
1512
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
1513
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1514
1515
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
1516
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
1517
1518
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
1519
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
1520
1521
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
1522
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
1523
1524
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
1525
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
1526
1527
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
1528
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
1529
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
1530
(Robert Collins).
1531
1532
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
1533
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
1534
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
1535
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
1536
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
1537
(Robert Collins)
1538
1539
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
1540
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
1541
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
1542
1543
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
1544
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
1545
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1546
1547
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
1548
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
1549
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
1550
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1551
1552
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
1553
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
1554
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
1555
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
1556
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
1557
1558
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
1559
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
1560
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
1561
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1562
1563
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
1564
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1565
1566
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
1567
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
1568
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
1569
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
1570
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
1571
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
1572
1573
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
1574
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
1575
1576
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
1577
help. (Robert Collins)
1578
1579
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
1580
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1581
1582
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
1583
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
1584
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
1585
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
1586
(John Arbash Meinel)
1587
1588
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
1589
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
1590
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
1591
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
1592
useful. (Robert Collins)
1593
1594
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
1595
(Andrew Bennetts)
1596
1597
BUGFIXES:
1598
1599
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
1600
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
1601
1602
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
1603
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
1604
1605
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
1606
properly and is no longer beneficial.
1607
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
1608
1609
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
1610
(Aaron Bentley)
1611
1612
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
1613
the file, and does it faster.
1614
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
1615
1616
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
1617
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
1618
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
1619
1620
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
1621
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
1622
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
1623
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
1624
1625
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
1626
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
1627
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
1628
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
1629
1630
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
1631
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
1632
1633
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
1634
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
1635
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
1636
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
1637
Arbash Meinel)
1638
1639
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
1640
1641
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
1642
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
1643
1644
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
1645
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
1646
1647
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
1648
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
1649
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
1650
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
1651
security hole.
1652
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1653
1654
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
1655
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
1656
1657
TESTING:
1658
1659
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
1660
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
1661
in running it. (Robert Collins)
1662
1663
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
1664
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
1665
1666
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
1667
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
1668
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
1669
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
1670
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
1671
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
1672
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
1673
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1674
1675
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
1676
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
1677
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1678
1679
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
1680
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
1681
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
1682
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
1683
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
1684
access.
1685
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1686
1687
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
1688
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
1689
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1690
1691
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
1692
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

1714
(Martin Pool)
1715
1716
IMPROVEMENTS:
1717
1718
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
1719
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
1720
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
1721
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
1722
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
1723
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
1724
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
1725
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
1726
path. (vila)
1727
1728
INTERNALS:
1729
1730
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
1731
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
1732
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
1733
1734
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
1735
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
1736
(Martin Pool)
1737
1738
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
1739
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
1740
(John Arbash Meinel)
1741
1742
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
1743
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
1744
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
1745
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
1746
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)

* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
1754
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
1755
1756
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
1757
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
1758
1759
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
1760
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
1761
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
1762
1763
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
1764
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
1765
1766
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
1767
last-changed-revision for directories. The
1768
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
1769
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
1770
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
1771
1772
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
1773
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
1774
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
1775

1783
1784
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to

1786
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
1787

1790
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
1791

1793
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the

common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
1795
1796
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1797
1798
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
1799
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)

numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
1813
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
1814
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)

1830
=======================
1831
1832
SURPRISES:
1833
1834
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
1835
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
1836
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
1837
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
1838
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
1839
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
1840
1841
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
1842
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
1843
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
1844
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
1845
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
1846
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
1847
development.
1848
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1849
1850
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
1851
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
1852
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
1853
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
1854
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
1855
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
1856
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
1857
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1858
1859
IMPROVEMENTS:
1860
1861
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
1862
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
1863
1864
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
1865
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
1866
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
1867
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
1868
does exist.
1869
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
1870
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
1871
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
1872
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
1873
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
1874
1875
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
1876
(Aaron Bentley)
1877
1878
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
1879
(Aaron Bentley)
1880
1881
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
1882
(Robert Collins)
1883
1884
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
1885
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
1886
(Aaron Bentley)
1887
1888
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
1889
(Aaron Bentley)
1890
1891
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
1892
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
1893
1894
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
1895
directory. (Martin Pool)
1896
1897
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
1898
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
1899
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
1900
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
1901
1902
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
1903
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
1904
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
1905
in docs/configuration.txt.
1906
1907
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
1908
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
1909
bind location.
1910
1911
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
1912
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
1913
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
1914
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
1915
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
1916
repositories. (Martin Pool)
1917
1918
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
1919
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1920
1921
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
1922
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
1923
1924
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
1925
(Aaron Bentley)
1926
1927
INTERNALS:
1928
1929
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
1930
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
1931
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
1932
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
1933
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
1934
(John Arbash Meinel)
1935
1936
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
1937
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
1938
(Aaron Bentley)
1939
1940
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
1941
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
1942
(John Arbash Meinel)
1943
1944
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
1945
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
1946
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
1947
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
1948
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
1949
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
1950
1951
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
1952
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
1953
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
1954
1955
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
1956
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
1957
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
1958
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
1959
repository.
1960
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1961
1962
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
1963
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
1964
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
1965
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
1966
1967
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
1968
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
1969
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
1970
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
1971
1972
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
1973
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
1974
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
1975
1976
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
1977
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
1978
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
1979
1980
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
1981
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
1982
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
1983
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
1984
1985
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
1986
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
1987
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
1988
1989
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
1990
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
1991
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
1992
1993
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
1994
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
1995
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
1996
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
1997
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
1998
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
1999
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
2000
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
2001
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
2002
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
2003
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
2004
2005
BUGFIXES:
2006
2007
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
2008
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
2009
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
2010
2011
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
2012
(Aaron Bentley)
2013
2014
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
2015
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
2016
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
2017
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
2018
2019
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
2020
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
2021
#83954).
2022
2023
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
2024
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
2025
2026
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
2027
2028
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
2029
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
2030
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
2031
2032
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
2033
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
2034
2035
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
2036
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
2037
2038
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
2039
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
2040
2041
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
2042
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
2043
2044
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
2045
2046
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
2047
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
2048
2049
TESTING:
2050
2051
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
2052
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

2056
====================
2057
2058
IMPROVEMENTS:
2059
2060
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
2061
2062
BUG FIXES:
2063
2064
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
2065
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
2066
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
2067
2068
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
2069
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
2070
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
2071
2072
2073
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
2074
=======================
2075
2076
IMPROVEMENTS:
2077
2078
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
2079
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
2080
server, then you can write over the http connection.
2081
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2082
2083
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
2084
(Marius Kruger)
2085
2086
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
2087
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
2088
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2089
2090
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
2091
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
2092
2093
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
2094
(Aaron Bentley)
2095
2096
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
2097
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
2098
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
2099
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
2100
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
2101
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
2102
2103
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
2104
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
2105
should enable you to do::
2106
2107
[/home/user/project]
2108
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
2109
push_location:policy = appendpath
2110
2111
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
2112
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
2113
(James Henstridge)
2114
2115
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
2116
for each file. For example::
2117
2118
$ bzr status --short
2119
A foo
2120
A bar
2121
D baz
2122
? wooley
2123
2124
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
2125
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
2126
2127
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
2128
2129
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
2130
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
2131
2132
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
2133
2134
INTERNALS:
2135
2136
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
2137
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
2138
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
2139
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
2140
2141
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
2142
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
2143
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
2144
2145
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2146
2147
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
2148
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
2149
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
2150
(Alexander Belchenko)
2151
2152
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
2153
Pool)
2154
2155
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
2156
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
2157
2158
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
2159
2160
BUG FIXES:
2161
2162
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
2163
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
2164
2165
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
2166
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
2167
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
2168
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
2169
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
2170
2171
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
2172
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
2173
2174
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
2175
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
2176
2177
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
2178
matcher.
2179
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
2180
2181
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
2182
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
2183
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
2184
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
2185
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
2186
2187
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
2188
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
2189
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
2190
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
2191
2192
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
2193
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
2194
2195
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
2196
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
2197
2198
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
2199
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
2200
2201
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

IMPROVEMENTS:
2214
2215
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
2216
tree from a branch.
2217
(Daniel Silverstone)
2218
2219
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
2220
operations are substantially faster.
2221
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
2222
2223
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
2224
tree from some other url. For example:
2225
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
2226
(Daniel Silverstone)
2227
2228
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
2229
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
2230
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
2231
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
2232
2233
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
2234
(Andrew Bennetts)
2235
2236
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
2237
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
2238
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
2239
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
2240
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
2241
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
2242
2243
INTERNALS:
2244
2245
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
2246
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
2247
(Martin Pool)
2248
2249
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2250
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2251
(John Arbash Meinel)
2252
2253
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
2254
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
2255
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
2256
(John Arbash Meinel)
2257
2258
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
2259
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
2260
2261
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
2262
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2263
2264
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
2265
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
2266
Bennetts)
2267
2268
BUG FIXES:
2269
2270
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
2271
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
2272
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
2273
2274
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
2275
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
2276
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
2277
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
2278
2279
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
2280
2281
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
2282
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
2283
2284
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
2285
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
2286
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
2287
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
2288
2289
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
2290
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
2291
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
2292
2293
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
2294
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
2295
them as full references rather than integers.
2296
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
2297
2298
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
2299
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
2300
2301
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
2302
2303
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
2304
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
2305
2306
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
2307
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
2308
2309
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
2310
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
2311
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
2312
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
2313
2314
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
2315
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
2316
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
2317
2318
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
2319
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
2320
2321
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
2322
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
2323
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
2324
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
2325
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
2326
2327
TESTING:
2328
2329
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
2330
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

2333
====================
2334
2335
INTERNALS:
2336
2337
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2338
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2339
(John Arbash Meinel)

2341
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
2342
=======================
2343
2344
IMPROVEMENTS:
2345
2346
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
2347
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
2348
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
2349
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
2350
2351
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
2352
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
2353
2354
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
2355
2356
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
2357
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
2358
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
2359
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2360
2361
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
2362
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
2363
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
2364
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
2365
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
2366
2367
API INCOMPATABILITY:
2368
2369
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
2370
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
2371
2372
INTERNALS:
2373
2374
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
2375
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
2376
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2377
2378
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
2379
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
2380
(John Arbash Meinel)
2381
2382
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
2383
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
2384
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
2385
2386
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
2387
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
2388
(Aaron Bentley)
2389
2390
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
2391
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
2392
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2393
2394
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
2395
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
2396
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
2397
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
2398
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
2399
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2400
2401
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
2402
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
2403
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
2404
(Robert Collins)
2405
2406
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
2407
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
2408
2409
BUG FIXES:
2410
2411
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
2412
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
2413
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
2414
#63360, #66349)
2415
2416
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
2417
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
2418
2419
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
2420
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
2421
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
2422
2423
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
2424
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
2425
2426
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
2427
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
2428
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
2429
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
2430
2431
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
2432
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
2433
2434
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
2435
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
2436
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
2437
2438
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
2439
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
2440
2441
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2442
2443
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
2444
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
2445
#32054)
2446
2447
TESTING:
2448
2449
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
2450
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
2451
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
2452
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
2453
2454
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
2455
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
2456
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2457
2458
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

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

2474
=======================
2475
2476
IMPROVEMENTS:
2477
2478
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
2479
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
2480
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
2481
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
2482
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
2483
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
2484
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
2485
2486
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
2487
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
2488
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
2489
2490
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
2491
2492
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
2493
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
2494
2495
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
2496
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
2497
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
2498
(Robert Collins)
2499
2500
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
2501
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
2502
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
2503
(John Arbash Meinel)
2504
2505
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
2506
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
2507
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
2508
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
2509
Pool)
2510
2511
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
2512
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
2513
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
2514
(John Arbash Meinel)
2515
2516
BUG FIXES:
2517
2518
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
2519
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
2520
2521
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
2522
2523
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
2524
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
2525
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
2526
2527
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
2528
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
2529
2530
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
2531
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
2532
2533
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
2534
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
2535
2536
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
2537
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
2538
2539
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
2540
2541
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
2542
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
2543
2544
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
2545
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
2546
2547
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
2548
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
2549
2550
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
2551
(John Arbash Meinel)
2552
2553
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
2554
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
2555
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
2556
2557
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
2558
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2559
2560
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
2561
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
2562
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
2563
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
2564
2565
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
2566
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
2567
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
2568
2569
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
2570
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
2571
2572
PORTABILITY:
2573
2574
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
2575
2576
INTERNALS:
2577
2578
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
2579
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
2580
(John Arbash Meinel)
2581
2582
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
2583
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
2584
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
2585
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2586
2587
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
2588
(Andrew Bennetts)
2589
2590
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
2591
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
2592
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
2593
2594
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
2595
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
2596
2597
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
2598
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
2599
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
2600
2601
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
2602
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
2603
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
2604
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
2605
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
2606
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
2607
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
2608
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
2609
caller to repeat their request.
2610
(John Arbash Meinel)
2611
2612
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
2613
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
2614
2615
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
2616
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
2617
2618
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
2619
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
2620
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
2621
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
2622
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
2623
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
2624
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
2625
2626
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
2627
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
2628
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
2629
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
2630
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
2631
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
2632
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
2633
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
2634
(Robert Collins)
2635
2636
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
2637
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
2638
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
2639
2640
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
2641
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
2642
2643
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
2644
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
2645
2646
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
2647
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2648
2649
TESTING:
2650
2651
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
2652
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
2653
2654
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
2655
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
2656
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2657
2658
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
2659
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
2660
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2661
2662
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
2663
====================
2664
2665
IMPROVEMENTS:
2666
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
2667
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
2668
2669
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
2670
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
2671
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
2672
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
2673
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
2674
2675
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
2676
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
2677
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
2678
2679
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
2680
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
2681
2682
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
2683
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
2684
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2685
2686
BUG FIXES:
2687
2688
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
2689
2690
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
2691
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
2692
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
2693
2694
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
2695
2696
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
2697
2698
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
2699
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
2700
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
2701
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
2702
2703
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
2704
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
2705
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
2706
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
2707
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
2708
2709
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
2710
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
2711
2712
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
2713
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
2714
2715
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
2716
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
2717
2718
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
2719
in handling of revision properties.
2720
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
2721
2722
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
2723
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
2724
2725
INTERNALS:
2726
2727
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
2728
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
2729
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
2730
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
2731
(John Arbash Meinel)
2732
2733
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
2734
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
2735
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
2736
2737
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
2738
=====================
2739
2740
SURPRISES:
2741
2742
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
2743
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
2744
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
2745
specific one '.bzrignore'.
2746
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
2747
a more conservative list than the old default.
2748
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
2749
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
2750
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
2751
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
2752
2753
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
2754
to more locations than just branch locations.
2755
(Aaron Bentley)
2756
2757
IMPROVEMENTS:
2758
2759
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
2760
revno:N:branch. For example,
2761
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
2762
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
2763
2764
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
2765
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
2766
the path of a file that has been versioned.
2767
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
2768
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
2769
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
2770
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
2771
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
2772
#42517, #42514)
2773
2774
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
2775
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
2776
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
2777
(Malone #3507)
2778
2779
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
2780
(Alexander Belchenko)
2781
2782
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
2783
2784
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
2785
(Robert Collins).
2786
2787
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
2788
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
2789
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
2790
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
2791
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
2792
(John Arbash Meinel)
2793
2794
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
2795
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
2796
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
2797
grained analysis of performance.
2798
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2799
2800
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
2801
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
2802
2803
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
2804
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
2805
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
2806
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
2807
file. (Robert Collins).
2808
2809
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
2810
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
2811
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
2812
2813
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
2814
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
2815
Matthieu Moy)
2816
2817
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
2818
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
2819
2820
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
2821
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
2822
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
2823
the same way you would apply another branch.
2824
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
2825
2826
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
2827
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
2828
2829
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
2830
(Michael Ellerman)
2831
2832
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
2833
(Aaron Bentley)
2834
2835
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
2836
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
2837
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
2838
2839
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
2840
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
2841
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
2842
2843
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
2844
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
2845
2846
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
2847
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
2848
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
2849
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
2850
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
2851
2852
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
2853
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
2854
2855
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
2856
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
2857
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
2858
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
2859
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
2860
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
2861
branch is as much as 4x faster.
2862
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
2863
2864
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
2865
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
2866
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
2867
2868
BUG FIXES:
2869
2870
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
2871
tests not to run.
2872
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
2873
2874
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
2875
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2876
2877
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
2878
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
2879
2880
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
2881
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
2882
2883
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
2884
2885
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
2886
(John Arbash Meinel)
2887
2888
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
2889
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
2890
2891
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
2892
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
2893
and y.
2894
2895
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
2896
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
2897
2898
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
2899
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
2900
2901
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
2902
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
2903
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
2904
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
2905
2906
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
2907
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
2908
2909
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
2910
2911
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
2912
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
2913
2914
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
2915
2916
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
2917
2918
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
2919
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
2920
2921
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
2922
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
2923
2924
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
2925
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
2926
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
2927
2928
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
2929
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
2930
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
2931
2932
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
2933
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
2934
2935
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
2936
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
2937
2938
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
2939
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
2940
2941
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
2942
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
2943
2944
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
2945
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
2946
2947
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
2948
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
2949
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
2950
2951
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
2952
2953
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
2954
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
2955
2956
INTERNALS:
2957
2958
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
2959
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
2960
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
2961
2962
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
2963
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
2964
2965
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
2966
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
2967
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2968
2969
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
2970
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2971
2972
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
2973
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
2974
(Martin Pool)
2975
2976
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
2977
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
2978
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2979
2980
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
2981
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
2982
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2983
2984
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
2985
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
2986
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
2987
2988
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
2989
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
2990
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
2991
2992
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
2993
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
2994
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
2995
2996
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
2997
instead. (Robert Collins)
2998
2999
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

3056
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
3057
===================
3058
3059
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3060
3061
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
3062
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
3063
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
3064
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
3065
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
3066
will keep the same format.
3067
3068
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
3069
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
3070
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
3071
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
3072
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
3073
3074
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
3075
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
3076
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
3077
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
3078
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
3079
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
3080
indicating the current revision of the branch.
3081
3082
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
3083
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
3084
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
3085
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
3086
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
3087
3088
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
3089
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
3090
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
3091
arrangement.
3092
3093
3094
IMPROVEMENTS:
3095
3096
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
3097
convention. Paths now take the form::
3098
3099
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
3100
or
3101
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
3102
3103
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
3104
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
3105
3106
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
3107
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
3108
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
3109
3110
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
3111
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
3112
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
3113
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
3114
3115
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
3116
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
3117
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
3118
3119
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
3120
3121
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
3122
3123
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
3124
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
3125
commits::
3126
3127
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
3128
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
3129
| xargs bzr re-sign
3130
3131
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
3132
3133
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
3134
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
3135
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
3136
(Robert Collins)
3137
3138
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
3139
3140
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
3141
3142
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
3143
'.moved'.
3144
3145
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
3146
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
3147
3148
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
3149
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
3150
Daniel Silverstone)
3151
3152
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
3153
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
3154
Martin Pool)
3155
3156
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
3157
3158
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
3159
3160
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
3161
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
3162
3163
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
3164
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
3165
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
3166
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
3167
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
3168
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
3169
3170
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
3171
3172
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
3173
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
3174
(Robert Collins)
3175
3176
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
3177
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
3178
3179
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
3180
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
3181
3182
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
3183
3184
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
3185
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
3186
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
3187
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
3188
specification by Martin Pool.
3189
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
3190
3191
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
3192
Belchenko)
3193
3194
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
3195
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3196
3197
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
3198
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
3199
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
3200
3201
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
3202
3203
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
3204
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
3205
(Robert Collins)
3206
3207
CHANGES:
3208
3209
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
3210
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3211
3212
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
3213
3214
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
3215
3216
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
3217
(Olaf Conradi)
3218
3219
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
3220
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
3221
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
3222
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
3223
3224
INTERNALS:
3225
3226
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
3227
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
3228
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
3229
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3230
3231
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
3232
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
3233
tried. (Martin Pool)
3234
3235
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
3236
(Martin Pool)
3237
3238
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
3239
3240
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
3241
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
3242
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
3243
3244
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
3245
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
3246
3247
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
3248
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
3249
paths. (Robert Collins)
3250
3251
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
3252
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
3253
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
3254
3255
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
3256
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
3257
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
3258
3259
* Progress bars are now nested - see
3260
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
3261
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3262
3263
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
3264
(Olaf Conradi)
3265
3266
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
3267
(Olaf Conradi)
3268
3269
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
3270
3271
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
3272
3273
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
3274
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
3275
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
3276
(Robert Collins)
3277
3278
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
3279
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
3280
3281
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
3282
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
3283
check. (Robert Collins)
3284
3285
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
3286
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
3287
3288
TESTING:
3289
3290
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
3291
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
3292
3293
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
3294
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
3295
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
3296
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
3297
3298
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
3299
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
3300
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
3301
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
3302
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
3303
3304
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
3305
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
3306
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
3307
3308
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
3309
3310
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
3311
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
3312
3313
bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
3314
==================
3315
3316
CHANGES:
3317
3318
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
3319
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
3320
3321
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
3322
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
3323
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
3324
(Johan Rydberg)
3325
3326
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
3327
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
3328
3329
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
3330
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
3331
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
3332
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
3333
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3334
3335
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
3336
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
3337
used. (Robert Collins)
3338
3339
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
3340
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
3341
(James Henstridge)
3342
3343
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
3344
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
3345
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
3346
3347
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
3348
ignore list.
3349
3350
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
3351
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
3352
3353
IMPROVEMENTS:
3354
3355
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
3356
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
3357
3358
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
3359
3360
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
3361
3362
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
3363
tree. (Robert Collins)
3364
3365
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
3366
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
3367
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
3368
(Robert Collins)
3369
3370
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
3371
that they be kept.
3372
3373
* Tweaks to short log printing
3374
3375
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
3376
(Aaron Bentley)
3377
3378
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
3379
occurs. (Martin Pool)
3380
3381
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
3382
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
3383
3384
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
3385
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
3386
3387
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
3388
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
3389
settings. (Magnus Therning)
3390
3391
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
3392
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3393
3394
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
3395
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
3396
requests.
3397
3398
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
3399
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
3400
3401
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
3402
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
3403
3404
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
3405
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
3406
3407
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
3408
(Denys Duchier)
3409
3410
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
3411
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
3412
3413
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
3414
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
3415
3416
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
3417
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
3418
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
3419
3420
BUG FIXES:
3421
3422
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
3423
3424
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3425
3426
* Error when run with -OO
3427
3428
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
3429
(Martin Pool)
3430
3431
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
3432
3433
* Change status to 3 for all errors
3434
3435
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
3436
ignored by diff and status
3437
3438
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
3439
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
3440
3441
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
3442
3443
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
3444
3445
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
3446
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
3447
3448
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
3449
email address. (Marien Zwart)
3450
3451
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
3452
(Harald Meland)
3453
3454
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
3455
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3456
3457
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
3458
3459
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
3460
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
3461
3462
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
3463
(Martin Pool)
3464
3465
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
3466
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
3467
3468
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
3469
3470
TESTING:
3471
3472
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
3473
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
3474
3475
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3476
3477
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3478
3479
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
3480
3481
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
3482
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
3483
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3484
3485
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3486
3487
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
3488
(John Arbash Meinel)
3489
3490
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
3491
3492
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
3493
If adding a new test script please add that to
3494
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
3495
3496
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
3497
imported. (Martin Pool)
3498
3499
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
3500
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
3501
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
3502
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
3503
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
3504
(Robert Collins)
3505
3506
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
3507
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
3508
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
3509
3510
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
3511
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
3512
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3513
3514
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
3515
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
3516
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
3517
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
3518
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
3519
(Robert Collins).
3520
3521
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
3522
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
3523
(Robert Collins).
3524
3525
INTERNALS:
3526
3527
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
3528
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
3529
3530
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
3531
function. (Robert Collins)
3532
3533
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
3534
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
3535
if needed). (Robert Collins)
3536
3537
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
3538
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
3539
(Robert Collins)
3540
3541
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
3542
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
3543
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
3544
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
3545
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
3546
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
3547
version. (Robert Collins)
3548
3549
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
3550
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
3551
3552
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
3553
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
3554
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
3555
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
3556
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
3557
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
3558
3559
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
3560
(Robert Collins)
3561
3562
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
3563
3564
add()
3565
commit()
3566
move()
3567
rename_one()
3568
unknowns()
3569
3570
(Robert Collins)
3571
3572
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
3573
3574
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
3575
3576
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
3577
Pool)
3578
3579
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
3580
query method. (Robert Collins)
3581
3582
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
3583
(Denys Duchier)
3584
3585
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
3586
(Michael Ellerman)
3587
3588
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
3589
(Michael Ellerman)
3590
3591
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
3592
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
3593
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
3594
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
3595
3596
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
3597
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
3598
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
3599
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
3600
3601
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
3602
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)

bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
3605
==================
3606
3607
IMPROVEMENTS:
3608
3609
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
3610
(John A Meinel)
3611
3612
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
3613
conflicts.
3614
(Aaron Bentley)
3615
3616
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
3617
a separator, not ':'.
3618
(Aaron Bentley)
3619
3620
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
3621
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
3622
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
3623
3624
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
3625
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
3626
(Robert Collins)
3627
3628
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
3629
has been added that suppresses all output.
3630
3631
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
3632
Adams.
3633
3634
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
3635
Goffredo Baroncelli.
3636
3637
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
3638
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
3639
3640
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
3641
a revision. (Robert Collins)
3642
3643
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
3644
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
3645
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
3646
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
3647
3648
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
3649
3650
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
3651
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
3652
3653
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
3654
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
3655
3656
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
3657
output directory, if one was supplied.
3658
3659
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
3660
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
3661
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
3662
parameters. (Robert Collins)
3663
3664
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
3665
3666
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
3667
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
3668
3669
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
3670
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
3671
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
3672
3673
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
3674
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
3675
3676
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
3677
(Aaron Bentley)
3678
3679
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
3680
3681
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
3682
3683
TESTING:
3684
3685
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
3686
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
3687
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
3688
3689
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
3690
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
3691
related questions. (Robert Collins)
3692
3693
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
3694
is given. (Martin Pool)
3695
3696
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
3697
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
3698
file. (Robert Collins)
3699
3700
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
3701
(Martin Pool)
3702
3703
INTERNALS:
3704
3705
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
3706
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
3707
representation. (Martin Pool).
3708
3709
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
3710
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
3711
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
3712
3713
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3714
(Robert Collins)
3715
3716
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
3717
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
3718
Magnus Therning.
3719
3720
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3721
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
3722
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
3723
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
3724
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
3725
3726
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
3727
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
3728
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
3729
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
3730
python path. (Robert Collins)
3731
3732
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
3733
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
3734
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
3735
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
3736
3737
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
3738
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
3739
3740
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
3741
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
3742
(Robert Collins)
3743
3744
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
3745
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
3746
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
3747
3748
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
3749
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
3750
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
3751
3752
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3753
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3754
3755
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
3756
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
3757
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
3758
(Robert Collins)
3759
3760
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
3761
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
3762
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
3763
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
3764
(Robert Collins)
3765
3766
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
3767
(Robert Collins)
3768
3769
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
3770
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
3771
(Robert Collins)
3772
3773
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
3774
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
3775
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
3776
3777
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
3778
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
3779
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
3780
3781
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
3782
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
3783
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
3784
3785
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3786
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3787
3788
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
3789
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
3790
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
3791
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
3792
caller. (Robert Collins)
3793
3794
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
3795
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
3796
(Robert Collins).
3797
3798
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
3799
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
3800
(Aaron Bentley)
3801
3802
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
3803
3804
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
3805
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
3806
3807
BUG FIXES:
3808
3809
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
3810
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
3811
3812
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
3813
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
3814
3815
3816
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
3817
====================
3818
3819
BUG FIXES:
3820
3821
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
3822
allow directories to be listed.
3823
3824
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
3825
upgrading branch format.
3826
3827
PERFORMANCE:
3828
3829
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
3830
3831
3832
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
3833
==================
3834
3835
NOTES:
3836
3837
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
3838
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
3839
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
3840
high-latency connections.
3841
3842
BUG FIXES:
3843
3844
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
3845
Rob Weir.
3846
3847
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
3848
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
3849
3850
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
3851
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
3852
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
3853
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3854
3855
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
3856
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
3857
3858
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
3859
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
3860
3861
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
3862
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
3863
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3864
3865
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
3866
for files with only a change to their executable status.
3867
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
3868
Robert Collins
3869
3870
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
3871
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
3872
3873
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
3874
different partial views of history.
3875
3876
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
3877
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
3878
3879
IMPROVEMENTS:
3880
3881
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
3882
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
3883
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3884
3885
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
3886
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
3887
'bzr upgrade'.
3888
3889
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
3890
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
3891
3892
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
3893
Niemeyer.
3894
3895
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
3896
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
3897
3898
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
3899
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
3900
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
3901
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3902
3903
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
3904
3905
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
3906
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
3907
Gustavo Niemeyer.
3908
3909
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
3910
Contributed by Robert Collins.
3911
3912
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
3913
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
3914
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
3915
3916
3917
INTERNALS:
3918
3919
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
3920
for your viewing pleasure.
3921
3922
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
3923
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
3924
3925
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
3926
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
3927
handling of such circumstances.
3928
3929
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
3930
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
3931
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
3932
3933
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
3934
3935
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
3936
we call them revisions not patches.
3937
3938
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
3939
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
3940
3941
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
3942
giving the revision *of that file*.
3943
3944
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
3945
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
3946
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
3947
3948
TESTING:
3949
3950
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
3951
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
3952
3953
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
3954
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
3955
3956
3957
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
3958
====================
3959
3960
BUG FIXES:
3961
3962
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
3963
3964
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
3965
(Robert Collins).
3966
3967
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
3968
3969
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
3970
3971
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
3972
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3973
3974
IMPROVEMENTS:
3975
3976
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
3977
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
3978
3979
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
3980
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
3981
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
3982
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
3983
Robey Pointer
3984
3985
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
3986
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3987
3988
INTERNALS:
3989
3990
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
3991
3992
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
3993
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
3994
3995
3996
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
3997
====================
3998
3999
IMPROVEMENTS:
4000
4001
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
4002
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
4003
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
4004
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
4005
Michael Ellerman.
4006
4007
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
4008
(Nir Soffer)
4009
4010
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
4011
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
4012
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
4013
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
4014
for the operating system is still tried.
4015
4016
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
4017
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
4018
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
4019
4020
4021
INTERNALS:
4022
4023
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
4024
4025
BUG FIXES:
4026
4027
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
4028
4029
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
4030
branch.
4031
4032
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
4033
read.
4034
4035
4036
PORTABILITY:
4037
4038
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
4039
4040
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
4041
4042
4043
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
4044
====================
4045
4046
NEW FEATURES:
4047
4048
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
4049
help with intelligent shell completion.
4050
4051
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
4052
4053
4054
ENHANCEMENTS:
4055
4056
* Much better merge support.
4057
4058
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
4059
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
4060
like emacs smerge.
4061
4062
4063
BUG FIXES:
4064
4065
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
4066
mention revisions that are not present.
4067
4068
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
4069
4070
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
4071
4072
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
4073
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
4074
4075
4076
CHANGES:
4077
4078
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
4079
4080
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
4081
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
4082
--help themselves.
4083
4084
4085
LIBRARY:
4086
4087
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
4088
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
4089
libraries.
4090
4091
4092
4093
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
4094
====================
4095
4096
NEW FEATURES:
4097
4098
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
4099
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
4100
4101
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
4102
4103
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
4104
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
4105
4106
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
4107
FOO.
4108
4109
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
4110
4111
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
4112
the Unix command.
4113
4114
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
4115
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
4116
4117
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
4118
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
4119
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
4120
4121
4122
ENHANCEMENTS:
4123
4124
* Faster working tree operations.
4125
4126
4127
CHANGES:
4128
4129
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
4130
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
4131
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
4132
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
4133
4134
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
4135
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
4136
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
4137
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
4138
standard plugins directory.
4139
4140
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
4141
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
4142
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
4143
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
4144
4145
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
4146
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
4147
4148
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
4149
disk.
4150
4151
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
4152
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
4153
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
4154
4155
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
4156
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
4157
4158
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
4159
line options must come before the command name because they
4160
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
4161
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
4162
it.
4163
4164
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
4165
4166
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
4167
is available with ``--short``.
4168
4169
4170
BUG FIXES:
4171
4172
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.

4176
=====================
4177
4178
CHANGES:
4179
4180
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
4181
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4182
4183
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
4184
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
4185
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
4186
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
4187
4188
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
4189
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
4190
with the ``--forward`` option.
4191
4192
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
4193
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
4194
field.

* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
6
4200
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
7
4201
8
* New 'bzr ignore PATTERN' command.
4202
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
9
4203
10
4204
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
11
4205
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
12
4206
13
* Add ``.*.swp .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
4207
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
14
4208
15
4209
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
16
4210
either read or write mode.
25
4219
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
26
4220
suggested by LarstiQ.
27
4221
28
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz Oler.
4222
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
4223
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
4224
4225
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
4226
a filename.
4227
4228
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
4229
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
4230
4231
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
4232
haven't changed since the previous time.
4233
4234
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
4235
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
4236
4237
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
4238
4239
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
4240
4241
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
4242
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
4243
4244
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
4245
options through to an external GNU diff.
4246
4247
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
4248
their contents.
4249
4250
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
4251
from a branch.
4252
4253
4254
BUG FIXES:
4255
4256
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
4257
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
4258
4259
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
4260
metacharacters.

TESTING:
40
4272
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
41
4273
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
42
4274
4275
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
4276
under a different version.
4277
4278
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
