12
* ``bzr export`` can now export a subdirectory of a project.
15
* ``bzr rm`` will now scan for files that are missing and remove just
16
them automatically, much as ``bzr add`` scans for new files that
17
are not ignored and adds them automatically. (Robert Collins)
21
* Support for GSSAPI authentication when using FTP as documented in
22
RFC2228. (Jelmer Vernooij, #49623)
26
* A url like ``log+file:///tmp`` will log all access to that Transport
27
to ``.bzr.log``, which may help in debugging or profiling.
30
* ``bzr branch`` and ``bzr push`` use the default stacking policy if the
31
branch format supports it. (Aaron Bentley)
33
* ``bzr init`` and ``bzr init-repo`` will now print out the same as
34
``bzr info`` if it completed successfully.
37
* ``bzr uncommit`` logs the old tip revision id, and displays how to
38
restore the branch to that tip using ``bzr pull``. This allows you
39
to recover if you realize you uncommitted the wrong thing.
42
* When reading index files, if we happen to read the whole file in a
43
single request treat it as a ``_buffer_all`` request. This happens
44
most often on small indexes over remote transports, where we default
45
to reading 64kB. It saves a round trip for each small index during
46
fetch operations. Also, if we have read more than 50% of an index
47
file, trigger a ``_buffer_all`` on the next request. This works
48
around some inefficiencies because reads don't fall neatly on page
49
boundaries, so we would ignore those bytes, but request them again
50
later. This could trigger a total read size of more than the whole
51
file. (John Arbash Meinel)
55
* ``bzr rm`` is now aliased to ``bzr del`` for the convenience of svn
56
users. (Robert Collins, #205416)
58
* Catch the infamous "select/poll returned error" which occurs when
59
pycurl try to send a body request to an HTTP/1.0 server which has
60
already refused to handle the request. (Vincent Ladeuil, #225020)
62
* ``FTPTransport.stat()`` would return ``0000`` as the permission bits
63
for the containing ``.bzr/`` directory (it does not implement
64
permissions). This would cause us to set all subdirectories to
65
``0700`` and files to ``0600`` rather than leaving them unmodified.
66
Now we ignore ``0000`` as the permissions and assume they are
67
invalid. (John Arbash Meinel, #259855)
69
* Merging from a previously joined branch will no longer cause
70
a traceback. (Jelmer Vernooij, #203376)
72
* Pack operations on windows network shares will work even with large
73
files. (Robert Collins, #255656)
75
* Running ``bzr st PATH_TO_TREE`` will no longer suppress merge
76
status. Status is also about 7% faster on mozilla sized trees
77
when the path to the root of the tree has been given. Users of
78
the internal ``show_tree_status`` function should be aware that
79
the show_pending flag is now authoritative for showing pending
80
merges, as it was originally. (Robert Collins, #225204)
82
* Set valid default _param_name for Option so that ListOption can embed
83
'-' in names. (Vincent Ladeuil, #263249)
85
* Show proper error rather than traceback when an unknown revision
86
id is specified to ``bzr cat-revision``. (Jelmer Vernooij, #175569)
88
* Trailing text in the dirstate file could cause the C dirstate parser
89
to try to allocate an invalid amount of memory. We now properly
90
check and test for parsing a dirstate with invalid trailing data.
91
(John Arbash Meinel, #186014)
93
* Use a Windows api function to get a Unicode host name, rather than
94
assuming the host name is ascii.
95
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel, #256550)
97
* ``WorkingTree4`` trees will now correctly report missing-and-new
98
paths in the output of ``iter_changes``. (Robert Collins)
102
* Exporters now take 4 parameters. (Robert Collins)
104
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` will now return False for the content change
105
field when a file is missing in the basis tree and not present in
106
the target tree. Previously it returned True unconditionally.
109
* The deprecated ``Branch.abspath`` and unimplemented
110
``Branch.rename_one`` and ``Branch.move`` were removed. (Jelmer Vernooij)
112
* BzrDir.clone_on_transport implementations must now accept a stacked_on
113
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
115
* BzrDir.cloning_metadir implementations must now take a require_stacking
116
parameter. (Aaron Bentley)
120
* ``addCleanup`` now takes ``*arguments`` and ``**keyword_arguments``
121
which are then passed to the cleanup callable as it is run. In
122
addition, addCleanup no longer requires that the callables passed to
123
it be unique. (Jonathan Lange)
125
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option can now use predefined
126
prefixes so that one can say ``bzr selftest -s bp.loom`` instead of
127
``bzr selftest -s bzrlib.plugins.loom``. (Vincent Ladeuil)
129
* ``selftest``'s ``--starting-with`` option now accepts multiple values.
134
* A new plugin interface, ``bzrlib.log.log_adapters``, has been added.
135
This allows dynamic log output filtering by plugins.
138
* ``bzrlib.btree_index`` is now available, providing a b-tree index
139
layer. The design is memory conservative (limited memory cache),
140
faster to seek (approx 100 nodes per page, gives 100-way fan out),
141
and stores compressed pages allowing more keys per page.
142
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
144
* ``bzrlib.diff.DiffTree.show_diff`` now skips changes where the kind
145
is unknown in both source and target.
146
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley)
148
* ``GraphIndexBuilder.add_node`` and ``BTreeBuilder`` have been
149
streamlined a bit. This should make creating large indexes faster.
150
(In benchmarking, it now takes less time to create a BTree index than
151
it takes to read the GraphIndex one.) (John Arbash Meinel)
153
* Mail clients for `bzr send` are now listed in a registry. This
154
allows plugins to add new clients by registering them with
155
``bzrlib.mail_client.mail_client_registry``. All of the built-in
156
clients now use this mechanism. (Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
159
bzr 1.6.1rc2 2008-09-03
160
-----------------------
164
* Copying between ``rich-root`` and ``rich-root-pack`` (and vice
165
versa) was accidentally using the inter-model fetcher, instead of
166
recognizing that both were 'rich root' formats.
167
(John Arbash Meinel, #264321)
170
bzr 1.6.1rc1 2008-08-29
171
-----------------------
173
This release fixes a few regressions found in the 1.6 client. Fetching
174
changes was using an O(N^2) buffering algorithm, so for large projects it
175
would cause memory thrashing. There is also a specific problem with the
176
``--1.6-rich-root`` format, which prevented stacking on top of
177
``--rich-root-pack`` repositories, and could allow users to accidentally
178
fetch experimental data (``-subtree``) without representing it properly.
179
The ``--1.6-rich-root`` format has been deprecated and users are
180
recommended to upgrade to ``--1.6.1-rich-root`` immediately. Also we
181
re-introduced a workaround for users who have repositories with incorrect
182
nodes (not possible if you only used official releases).
183
I should also clarify that none of this is data loss level issues, but
184
still sufficient enough to warrant an updated release.
188
* ``RemoteTransport.readv()`` was being inefficient about how it
189
buffered the readv data and processed it. It would keep appending to
190
the same string (causing many copies) and then pop bytes out of the
191
start of the string (causing more copies).
192
With this patch "bzr+ssh://local" can improve dramatically,
193
especially for projects with large files.
196
* Revision texts were always meant to be stored as fulltexts. There
197
was a bug in a bzr.dev version that would accidentally create deltas
198
when copying from a Pack repo to a Knit repo. This has been fixed,
199
but to support those repositories, we know always request full texts
200
for Revision texts. (John Arbash Meinel, #261339)
202
* The previous ``--1.6-rich-root`` format used an incorrect xml
203
serializer, which would accidentally support fetching from a
204
repository that supported subtrees, even though the local one would
205
not. We deprecated that format, and introduced a new one that uses
206
the correct serializer ``--1.6.1-rich-root``.
207
(John Arbash Meinel, #262333)
213
Finally, the long awaited bzr 1.6 has been released. This release includes
214
new features like Stacked Branches, improved weave merge, and an updated
215
server protocol (now on v3) which will allow for better cross version
216
compatibility. With this release we have deprecated Knit format
217
repositories, and recommend that users upgrade them, we will continue to
218
support reading and writing them for the forseeable future, but we will
219
not be tuning them for performance as pack repositories have proven to be
220
better at scaling. This will also be the first release to bundle
221
TortoiseBzr in the standalone Windows installer.
224
bzr 1.6rc5 2008-08-19
225
---------------------
229
* Disable automatic detection of stacking based on a containing
230
directory of the target. It interacted badly with push, and needs a
231
bit more work to get the edges polished before it should happen
232
automatically. (John Arbash Meinel, #259275)
233
(This change was reverted when merged to bzr.dev)
236
bzr 1.6rc4 2008-08-18
237
---------------------
241
* Fix a regression in knit => pack fetching. We had a logic
242
inversion, causing the fetch to insert fulltexts in random order,
243
rather than preserving deltas. (John Arbash Meinel, #256757)
246
bzr 1.6rc3 2008-08-14
247
---------------------
251
* Disable reading ``.bzrrules`` as a per-branch rule preferences
252
file. The feature was not quite ready for a full release.
257
* Update the windows installer to bundle TortoiseBzr and ``qbzr``
258
into the standalone installer. This will be the first official
259
windows release that installs Tortoise by default.
264
* Fix a regression in ``bzr+http`` support. There was a missing
265
function (``_read_line``) that needed to be carried over from
266
``bzr+ssh`` support. (Andrew Bennetts)
268
* ``GraphIndex`` objects will internally read an entire index if more
269
than 1/20th of their keyspace is requested in a single operation.
270
This largely mitigates a performance regression in ``bzr log FILE``
271
and completely corrects the performance regression in ``bzr log``.
272
The regression was caused by removing an accomodation which had been
273
supporting the index format in use. A newer index format is in
274
development which is substantially faster. (Robert Collins)
277
bzr 1.6rc2 2008-08-13
278
---------------------
280
This release candidate has a few minor bug fixes, and some regression
285
* ``bzr upgrade`` on remote branches accessed via bzr:// and
286
bzr+ssh:// now works. (Andrew Bennetts)
288
* Change the ``get_format_description()`` strings for
289
``RepositoryFormatKnitPack5`` et al to be single line messages.
292
* Fix for a regression on Win32 where we would try to call
293
``os.listdir()`` on a file and not catch the exception properly.
294
(Windows raises a different exception.) This would manifest in
295
places like ``bzr rm file`` or ``bzr switch``.
296
(Mark Hammond, John Arbash Meinel)
298
* ``Inventory.copy()`` was failing to set the revision property for
299
the root entry. (Jelmer Vernooij)
301
* sftp transport: added missing ``FileExists`` case to
302
``_translate_io_exception`` (Christophe Troestler, #123475)
304
* The help for ``bzr ignored`` now suggests ``bzr ls --ignored`` for
305
scripting use. (Robert Collins, #3834)
307
* The default ``annotate`` logic will now always assign the
308
last-modified value of a line to one of the revisions that modified
309
it, rather than a merge revision. This would happen when both sides
310
claimed to have modified the line resulting in the same text. The
311
choice is arbitrary but stable, so merges in different directions
312
will get the same results. (John Arbash Meinel, #232188)
315
bzr 1.6rc1 2008-08-06
316
---------------------
318
This release candidate for bzr 1.6 solidifies the new branch stacking
319
feature. Bazaar now recommends that users upgrade all knit repositories,
320
because later formats are much faster. However, we plan to continue read/write and
321
upgrade support for knit repostories for the forseeable future. Several
322
other bugs and performance issues were fixed.
326
* Knit format repositories are deprecated and bzr will now emit
327
warnings whenever it encounters one. Use ``bzr upgrade`` to upgrade
328
knit repositories to pack format. (Andrew Bennetts)
332
* ``bzr check`` can now be told which elements at a location it should
333
check. (Daniel Watkins)
335
* Commit now supports ``--exclude`` (or ``-x``) to exclude some files
336
from the commit. (Robert Collins, #3117)
338
* Fetching data between repositories that have the same model but no
339
optimised fetcher will not reserialise all the revisions, increasing
340
performance. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
342
* Give a more specific error when target branch is not reachable.
345
* Implemented a custom ``walkdirs_utf8`` implementation for win32.
346
This uses a pyrex extension to get direct access to the
347
``FindFirstFileW`` style apis, rather than using ``listdir`` +
348
``lstat``. Shows a very strong improvement in commands like
349
``status`` and ``diff`` which have to iterate the working tree.
350
Anywhere from 2x-6x faster depending on the size of the tree (bigger
351
trees, bigger benefit.) (John Arbash Meinel)
353
* New registry for log properties handles and the method in
354
LongLogFormatter to display the custom properties returned by the
355
registered handlers. (Guillermo Gonzalez, #162469)
359
* Add more tests that stacking does not create deltas spanning
360
physical repository boundaries.
361
(Martin Pool, #252428)
363
* Better message about incompatible repositories.
364
(Martin Pool, #206258)
366
* ``bzr branch --stacked`` ensures the destination branch format can
367
support stacking, even if the origin does not.
370
* ``bzr export`` no longer exports ``.bzrrules``.
373
* ``bzr serve --directory=/`` now correctly allows the whole
374
filesystem to be accessed on Windows, not just the root of the drive
375
that Python is running from.
376
(Adrian Wilkins, #240910)
378
* Deleting directories by hand before running ``bzr rm`` will not
379
cause subsequent errors in ``bzr st`` and ``bzr commit``.
380
(Robert Collins, #150438)
382
* Fix a test case that was failing if encoding wasn't UTF-8.
383
(John Arbash Meinel, #247585)
385
* Fix "no buffer space available" error when branching with the new
386
smart server protocol to or from Windows.
387
(Andrew Bennetts, #246180)
389
* Fixed problem in branching from smart server.
390
(#249256, Michael Hudson, Martin Pool)
392
* Handle a file turning in to a directory in TreeTransform.
393
(James Westby, #248448)
397
* ``MutableTree.commit`` has an extra optional keywork parameter
398
``exclude`` that will be unconditionally supplied by the command
399
line UI - plugins that add tree formats may need an update.
402
* The API minimum version for plugin compatibility has been raised to
403
1.6 - there are significant changes throughout the code base.
406
* The generic fetch code now uses three attributes on Repository objects
407
to control fetch. The streams requested are controlled via :
408
``_fetch_order`` and ``_fetch_uses_deltas``. Setting these
409
appropriately allows different repository implementations to recieve
410
data in their optimial form. If the ``_fetch_reconcile`` is set then
411
a reconcile operation is triggered at the end of the fetch.
414
* The ``put_on_disk`` and ``get_tar_item`` methods in
415
``InventoryEntry`` were deprecated. (Ian Clatworthy)
417
* ``Repository.is_shared`` doesn't take a read lock. It didn't
418
need one in the first place (nobody cached the value, and
419
``RemoteRepository`` wasn't taking one either). This saves a round
420
trip when probing Pack repositories, as they read the ``pack-names``
421
file when locked. And during probe, locking the repo isn't very
422
useful. (John Arbash Meinel)
426
* ``bzrlib.branchbuilder.BranchBuilder`` is now much more capable of
427
putting together a real history without having to create a full
428
WorkingTree. It is recommended that tests that are not directly
429
testing the WorkingTree use BranchBuilder instead. See
430
``BranchBuilder.build_snapshot`` or
431
``TestCaseWithMemoryTree.make_branch_builder``. (John Arbash Meinel)
433
* ``bzrlib.builtins.internal_tree_files`` broken into two giving a new
434
helper ``safe_relpath_files`` - used by the new ``exclude``
435
parameter to commit. (Robert Collins)
437
* Make it easier to introduce new WorkingTree formats.
440
* The code for exporting trees was refactored not to use the
441
deprecated ``InventoryEntry`` methods. (Ian Clatworthy)
443
* RuleSearchers return () instead of [] now when there are no matches.
447
bzr 1.6beta3 2008-07-17
448
-----------------------
450
This release adds a new 'stacked branches' feature allowing branches to
451
share storage without being in the same repository or on the same machine.
452
(See the user guide for more details.) It also adds a new hook, improved
453
weaves, aliases for related locations, faster bzr+ssh push, and several
458
* New ``pre_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called before the
459
branch tip is moved, while the branch is write-locked. See the User
460
Reference for signature details. (Andrew Bennetts)
462
* Rule-based preferences can now be defined for selected files in
463
selected branches, allowing commands and plugins to provide
464
custom behaviour for files matching defined patterns.
465
See ``Rule-based preferences`` (part of ``Configuring Bazaar``)
466
in the User Guide and ``bzr help rules`` for more information.
469
* Sites may suggest a branch to stack new branches on. (Aaron Bentley)
471
* Stacked branches are now supported. See ``bzr help branch`` and
472
``bzr help push``. Branches must be in the ``development1`` format
473
to stack, though the stacked-on branch can be of any format.
478
* ``bzr export --format=tgz --root=NAME -`` to export a gzipped tarball
479
to stdout; also ``tar`` and ``tbz2``.
482
* ``bzr (re)merge --weave`` will now use a standard Weave algorithm,
483
rather than the annotation-based merge it was using. It does so by
484
building up a Weave of the important texts, without needing to build
485
the full ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #238895)
487
* ``bzr send`` documents and better supports ``emacsclient`` (proper
488
escaping of mail headers and handling of the MUA Mew).
489
(Christophe Troestler)
491
* Remembered locations can be specified by aliases, e.g. :parent, :public,
492
:submit. (Aaron Bentley)
494
* The smart protocol now has improved support for setting branches'
495
revision info directly. This makes operations like push
496
faster. The new request method name is
497
``Branch.set_last_revision_ex``. (Andrew Bennetts)
501
* Bazaar is now able to be a client to the web server of IIS 6 and 7.
502
The broken implementations of RFC822 in Python and RFC2046 in IIS
503
combined with boundary-line checking in Bazaar previously made this
504
impossible. (NB, IIS 5 does not suffer from this problem).
505
(Adrian Wilkins, #247585)
507
* ``bzr log --long`` with a ghost in your mainline now handles that
508
ghost properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #243536)
510
* ``check`` handles the split-up .bzr layout correctly, so no longer
511
requires a branch to be present.
512
(Daniel Watkins, #64783)
514
* Clearer message about how to set the PYTHONPATH if bzrlib can't be
516
(Martin Pool, #205230)
518
* Errors about missing libraries are now shown without a traceback,
519
and with a suggestion to install the library. The full traceback is
520
still in ``.bzr.log`` and can be shown with ``-Derror``.
521
(Martin Pool, #240161)
523
* Fetch from a stacked branch copies all required data.
524
(Aaron Bentley, #248506)
526
* Handle urls such as ftp://user@host.com@www.host.com where the user
528
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell, #228058)
530
* ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` now suppress an error during
531
``unlock`` if there was an error in the original function. This helps
532
most when there is a failure with a smart server action, since often the
533
connection closes and we cannot unlock.
534
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel, #125784)
536
* Obsolete hidden command ``bzr fetch`` removed.
537
(Martin Pool, #172870)
539
* Raise the correct exception when doing ``-rbefore:0`` or ``-c0``.
540
(John Arbash Meinel, #239933)
542
* You can now compare file revisions in Windows diff programs from
544
(Matt McClure, #209281)
546
* revision_history now tolerates mainline ghosts for Branch format 6.
547
(Aaron Bentley, #235055)
549
* Set locale from environment for third party libs.
550
(Martin von Gagern, #128496)
554
* Added *Using stacked branches* to the User Guide.
557
* Updated developer documentation.
562
* ``-Dmemory`` will cause /proc/PID/status to be catted before bzr
563
exits, allowing low-key analysis of peak memory use. (Robert Collins)
565
* ``TestCaseWithTransport.make_branch_and_tree`` tries harder to return
566
a tree with a ``branch`` attribute of the right format. This was
567
preventing some ``RemoteBranch`` tests from actually running with
568
``RemoteBranch`` instances. (Andrew Bennetts)
572
* Removed ``Repository.text_store``, ``control_store``, etc. Instead,
573
there are new attributes ``texts, inventories, revisions,
574
signatures``, each of which is a ``VersionedFiles``. See the
575
Repository docstring for more details.
578
* ``Branch.pull`` now accepts an ``_override_hook_target`` optional
579
parameter. If you have a subclass of ``Branch`` that overrides
580
``pull`` then you should add this parameter. (Andrew Bennetts)
582
* ``bzrlib.check.check()`` has been deprecated in favour of the more
583
aptly-named ``bzrlib.check.check_branch()``.
586
* ``Tree.print_file`` and ``Repository.print_file`` are deprecated.
587
These methods are bad APIs because they write directly to sys.stdout.
588
bzrlib does not use them internally, and there are no direct tests
589
for them. (Alexander Belchenko)
593
* ``cat`` command no longer uses ``Tree.print_file()`` internally.
594
(Alexander Belchenko)
596
* New class method ``BzrDir.open_containing_tree_branch_or_repository``
597
which eases the discovery of the tree, the branch and the repository
598
containing a given location.
601
* New ``versionedfile.KeyMapper`` interface to abstract out the access to
602
underlying .knit/.kndx etc files in repositories with partitioned
603
storage. (Robert Collins)
605
* Obsolete developer-use command ``weave-join`` has been removed.
608
* ``RemoteToOtherFetcher`` and ``get_data_stream_for_search`` removed,
609
to support new ``VersionedFiles`` layering.
613
bzr 1.6beta2 2008-06-10
614
-----------------------
616
This release contains further progress towards our 1.6 goals of shallow
617
repositories, and contains a fix for some user-affecting bugs in the
618
repository layer. Building working trees during checkout and branch is
623
* Avoid KnitCorrupt error extracting inventories from some repositories.
624
(The data is not corrupt; an internal check is detecting a problem
625
reading from the repository.)
626
(Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #234748)
628
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
629
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
631
* Fix infinite loop consuming 100% CPU when a connection is lost while
632
reading a response body via the smart protocol v1 or v2.
635
* Inserting a bundle which changes the contents of a file with no trailing
636
end of line, causing a knit snapshot in a 'knits' repository will no longer
637
cause KnitCorrupt. (Robert Collins)
639
* ``RemoteBranch.pull`` needs to return the ``self._real_branch``'s
640
pull result. It was instead just returning None, which breaks ``bzr
641
pull``. (John Arbash Meinel, #238149)
643
* Sanitize branch nick before using it as an attachment filename in
644
``bzr send``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #210218)
646
* Squash ``inv_entry.symlink_target`` to a plain string when
647
generating DirState details. This prevents from getting a
648
``UnicodeError`` when you have symlinks and non-ascii filenames.
649
(John Arbash Meinel, #135320)
653
* Added the 'alias' command to set/unset and display aliases. (Tim Penhey)
655
* ``added``, ``modified``, and ``unknowns`` behaviour made consistent (all three
656
now quote paths where required). Added ``--null`` option to ``added`` and
657
``modified`` (for null-separated unknowns, use ``ls --unknown --null``)
660
* Faster branching (1.09x) and lightweight checkouts (1.06x) on large trees.
661
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley)
665
* Added *Bazaar Zen* section to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
669
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
670
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
674
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
675
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
676
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
677
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
678
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
680
* ``RepositoryPolicy.__init__`` now requires stack_on and stack_on_pwd,
681
through the derived classes do not. (Aaron Bentley)
685
* ``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDir.sprout`` now accepts ``stacked`` to control
686
creating stacked branches. (Robert Collins)
688
* Knit record serialisation is now stricter on what it will accept, to
689
guard against potential internal bugs, or broken input. (Robert Collins)
692
bzr 1.6beta1 2008-06-02
693
-----------------------
696
Commands that work on the revision history such as push, pull, missing,
697
uncommit and log are now substantially faster. This release adds a
698
translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish. (Contributions of
699
other translations would be very welcome.) Bazaar 1.6beta1 adds a new network
700
protocol which is used by default and which allows for more efficient transfers
701
and future extensions.
704
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
706
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
707
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
708
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
709
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
710
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
711
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
712
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
713
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
717
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
718
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
723
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
728
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
729
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
730
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
731
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
733
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
734
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
735
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
737
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
738
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
740
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
741
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
742
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
744
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
745
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
746
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
747
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
748
step closer to not using full revision history.
749
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
753
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
754
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
756
* ``bzr status`` was breaking if you merged the same revision twice.
757
(John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
759
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
760
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
762
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
763
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
764
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
765
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
767
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
768
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
769
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
770
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
772
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
773
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
774
in use by another process.
777
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
778
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
779
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
780
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
782
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
783
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
785
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
786
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
787
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
789
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
790
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
791
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
793
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
795
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
797
* The "Unable to obtain lock" error message now also suggests using
798
``bzr break-lock`` to fix it. (Martin Albisetti, #139202)
800
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
801
under vim on Mac OS X.
802
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
804
* ``VersionedFile.make_mpdiffs()`` was raising an exception that wasn't in
805
scope. (Daniel Fischer #235687)
809
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
810
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
812
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
813
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
816
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
817
and about use of Python reprs.
818
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
820
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
824
* ``bzrlib.tests.adapt_tests`` was broken and unused - it has been fixed.
827
* Fix the test HTTPServer to be isolated from chdir calls made while it is
828
running, allowing it to be used in blackbox tests. (Robert Collins)
830
* New helper function for splitting test suites
831
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
835
* ``Branch.missing_revisions`` has been deprecated. Similar functionality
836
can be obtained using ``bzrlib.missing.find_unmerged``. The api was
837
fairly broken, and the function was unused, so we are getting rid of it.
842
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
843
instead. (Martin Pool)
845
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
846
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
847
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
848
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
850
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
851
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
852
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
853
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
854
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
856
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
857
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
858
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
859
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
860
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
861
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
863
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
864
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
867
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
868
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
871
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
872
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
873
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
874
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
876
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
877
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
878
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
880
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
881
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
882
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
883
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
884
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
887
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
888
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
889
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
890
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
893
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_(ids/trees)`` will now filter out revisions
894
which are in the ancestry of other revisions. So if you merge the same
895
tree twice, or merge an ancestor of an existing merge, it will only
896
record the newest. (If you merge a descendent, it will replace its
897
ancestor). (John Arbash Meinel, #235407)
899
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
906
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
907
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
908
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
912
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
913
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
914
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
918
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
919
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
923
bzr 1.5rc1 2008-05-09
924
---------------------
926
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
930
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
931
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
932
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
933
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
939
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
940
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley, #202928)
942
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
943
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
945
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
950
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
951
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
953
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
954
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
956
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
957
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
958
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
960
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
961
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
962
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
964
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
967
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
968
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
970
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
971
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
973
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
974
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
976
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
977
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
979
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
980
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
981
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
983
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
984
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
986
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
987
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
989
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
990
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
991
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
992
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
994
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
995
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
998
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
999
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
1000
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
1002
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
1003
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
1004
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
1005
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
1006
every revision each side had in common.
1007
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1009
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
1010
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
1012
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
1013
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
1014
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
1015
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
1019
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
1020
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
1021
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
1022
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
1024
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
1026
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
1028
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
1029
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
1033
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
1034
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
1035
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
1037
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
1038
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
1039
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
1040
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
1042
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
1043
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1045
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
1046
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
1047
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
1048
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1050
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
1051
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
1052
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
1053
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1057
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
1058
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
1059
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
1061
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
1063
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
1064
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
1066
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
1067
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1069
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
1070
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
1074
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
1075
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
1076
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
1078
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
1079
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
1080
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
1083
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
1084
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
1087
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.
1094
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
1095
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
1096
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
1097
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
1098
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
1099
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
1100
and faster performance.
1104
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
1105
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
1106
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
1107
(John Arbash Meinel, Andrew Bennetts, #214894)
1110
bzr 1.4rc2 2008-04-21
1111
---------------------
1115
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
1116
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
1117
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
1119
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
1120
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
1122
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
1123
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
1125
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
1126
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
1127
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
1128
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
1129
every revision each side had in common.
1130
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1133
bzr 1.4rc1 2008-04-11
1134
---------------------
1138
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
1140
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
1141
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
1143
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
1144
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
1145
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
1147
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
1148
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
1149
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
1150
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
1151
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
1152
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
1155
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
1156
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
1157
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
1158
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
1162
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
1164
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
1165
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
1166
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
1168
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
1169
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
1170
See the User Reference for signature details.
1171
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
1173
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
1174
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
1178
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
1179
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
1180
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
1181
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1183
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
1184
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
1186
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
1187
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
1188
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
1191
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
1194
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
1195
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
1196
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
1198
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
1201
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
1202
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
1204
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
1205
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
1207
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
1208
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
1209
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
1211
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
1212
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
1213
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
1214
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
1215
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
1217
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
1218
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
1220
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
1221
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
1225
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
1226
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
1227
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
1228
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
1229
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
1230
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
1232
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
1233
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
1235
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
1236
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
1237
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
1239
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
1240
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
1242
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
1243
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
1244
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
1245
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1247
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
1248
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
1249
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
1250
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
1251
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
1253
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
1255
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
1256
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
1258
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
1260
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
1261
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
1263
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
1264
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
1268
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
1270
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
1272
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
1274
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
1278
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
1279
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
1280
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
1282
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
1283
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
1284
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
1285
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
1287
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
1288
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
1289
release. (James Westby)
1291
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
1294
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
1296
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
1297
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1299
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
1300
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1302
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
1303
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
1305
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
1306
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
1307
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
1309
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
1310
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
1311
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
1312
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
1314
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
1315
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
1316
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
1317
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
1319
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
1320
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
1321
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
1322
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
1323
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
1324
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
1326
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
1327
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
1328
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
1330
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
1331
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
1333
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
1334
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
1337
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
1338
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
1340
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
1341
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
1343
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
1344
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
1346
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
1347
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
1348
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
1350
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
1351
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
1352
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
1353
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
1354
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
1355
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
1359
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
1360
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
1361
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
1362
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
1364
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
1365
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
1366
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
1367
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
1371
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
1372
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
1375
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
1376
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
1378
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
1380
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
1381
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
1382
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
1386
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1388
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
1391
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
1392
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
1393
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
1394
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
1395
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
1396
(Martin Pool, #109520)
1398
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
1399
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
1401
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
1402
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
1403
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
1404
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
1406
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
1407
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
1409
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
1410
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)
1413
bzr 1.3.1 2008-04-09
1414
--------------------
1416
No changes from 1.3.1rc1.
1419
bzr 1.3rc1 2008-04-04

---------------------
1424
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when

1426
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
1427
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1433
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
1435
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
1436
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
1437
features have been added.
1441
* Avoid spurious failure of ``TestVersion.test_version`` matching

(#202778, Martin Pool)
1446
bzr 1.3rc1 2008-03-16
1447
---------------------
1449
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1451
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
1452
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
1456
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
1457
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
1458
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
1459
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
1462
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
1463
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
1464
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
1465
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
1466
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
1467
(Alexander Belchenko)
1469
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
1470
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
1471
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
1472
(Alexander Belchenko)
1474
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1476
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
1477
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
1481
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
1482
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
1484
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
1485
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
1490
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
1492
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1494
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
1495
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
1496
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
1498
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
1499
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
1501
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
1502
to. (Daniel Watkins)
1504
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
1505
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
1506
(Alexander Belchenko)
1508
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
1509
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
1510
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
1511
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
1513
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
1516
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
1517
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
1518
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
1519
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
1520
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
1524
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
1525
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
1526
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
1527
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
1529
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
1530
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
1532
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
1533
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
1535
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
1536
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
1537
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
1539
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
1540
(#198793, John Ferlito)
1542
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
1545
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
1546
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
1548
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
1550
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
1552
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
1553
symlinks (James Henstridge)
1555
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
1556
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
1558
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
1559
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
1561
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
1562
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
1564
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
1565
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
1567
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
1568
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
1572
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
1573
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
1577
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
1578
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
1579
(Alexander Belchenko)
1583
* Added missing blackbox tests for ``modified`` (Adrian Wilkins)
1585
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
1586
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
1591
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
1592
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
1593
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
1595
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
1596
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
1597
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
1598
(Alexander Belchenko)
1600
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
1601
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
1602
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
1603
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
1605
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
1606
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
1607
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
1610
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
1611
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
1612
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
1614
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
1615
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
1616
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
1618
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
1619
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
1620
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
1621
format. (Robert Collins)
1629
* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
1632
bzr 1.2rc1 2008-02-13
1633
---------------------
1635
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1637
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
1638
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
1639
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
1640
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
1641
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
1646
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
1647
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
1649
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
1650
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
1651
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
1653
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
1654
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
1655
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
1656
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
1657
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
1658
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
1663
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
1664
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1666
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
1667
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
1668
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
1671
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
1672
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
1673
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
1674
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
1675
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
1677
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
1678
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
1679
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
1680
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
1681
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
1682
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
1683
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
1684
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
1688
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
1689
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
1691
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
1692
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1694
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
1695
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
1697
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
1698
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
1699
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
1701
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
1702
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
1703
(John Arbash Meinel)
1707
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
1708
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
1710
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
1711
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
1713
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
1714
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
1716
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
1717
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
1718
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
1720
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
1721
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
1722
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
1724
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
1725
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
1727
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
1728
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
1729
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
1730
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
1731
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
1733
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1735
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
1736
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
1739
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
1740
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
1742
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
1743
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
1745
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
1746
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
1748
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
1749
more characters which should be considered valid.
1750
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
1752
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
1753
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
1755
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
1756
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
1760
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
1761
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
1763
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
1764
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
1769
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
1770
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
1775
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
1776
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
1777
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
1779
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
1780
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
1781
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
1783
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
1784
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
1785
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
1786
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
1788
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
1790
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
1791
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
1792
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
1793
server. (Robert Collins)
1795
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
1796
operate. (Robert Collins)
1798
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
1799
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
1800
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
1802
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
1803
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
1804
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
1805
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
1807
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
1808
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
1810
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
1811
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
1812
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
1814
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
1815
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
1817
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
1818
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
1820
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
1821
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
1822
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
1823
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)
1829
(no changes from 1.1rc1)
1831
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
1832
---------------------
1836
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
1837
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
1838
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
1839
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
1841
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
1842
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
1843
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
1844
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
1848
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
1851
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
1854
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
1855
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
1859
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
1862
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
1863
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
1864
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
1866
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
1868
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
1869
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
1870
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
1871
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
1872
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
1874
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
1875
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
1876
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
1878
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
1879
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
1881
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
1884
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
1886
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
1888
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
1891
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
1892
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
1896
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
1897
(Martin Pool, #180208)
1899
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
1900
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
1902
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
1905
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
1906
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
1908
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
1909
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
1911
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
1912
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1914
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
1915
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
1917
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
1918
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
1919
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
1921
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
1922
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
1924
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
1925
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
1928
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
1930
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
1931
user:pass embedded in the urls.
1932
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
1934
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
1935
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
1937
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
1940
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
1943
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
1944
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
1946
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
1949
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
1950
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
1953
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
1954
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
1955
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
1959
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
1962
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
1963
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
1964
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
1965
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
1966
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
1967
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
1969
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
1973
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
1976
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
1977
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
1979
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
1981
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
1982
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
1983
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
1986
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
1987
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1989
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
1996
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
1997
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
1998
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
2000
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
2001
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
2004
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
2005
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
2007
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
2008
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
2010
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
2011
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
2013
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
2014
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
2015
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
2017
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
2018
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
2020
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
2021
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
2023
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
2024
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
2027
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
2028
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
2030
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
2031
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
2039
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
2041
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
2044
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
2046
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
2047
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.
2051
bzr 1.0rc3 2007-12-11
2052
---------------------
2056
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
2057
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
2058
by mail to the mailing list.
2063
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
2065
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
2066
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
2067
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
2068
feedback but also incur more latency.
2069
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
2071
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
2072
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
2076
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
2078
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
2083
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
2084
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
2085
wraps its output in a StringIO.
2089
bzr 1.0rc2 2007-12-07
2090
---------------------
2094
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
2096
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
2099
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
2102
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
2103
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
2104
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
2105
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2107
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
2110
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
2111
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
2113
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
2114
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
2115
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
2117
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
2118
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
2119
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
2120
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
2121
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
2122
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
2123
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
2124
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
2125
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
2129
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
2132
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
2136
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
2137
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
2139
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
2141
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
2143
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
2144
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
2146
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
2148
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
2149
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
2151
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
2152
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
2156
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
2157
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)
2160
bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
2161
---------------------
2163
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2165
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
2166
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
2167
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
2168
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
2170
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
2171
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
2173
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
2174
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
2176
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
2177
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
2178
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
2179
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
2180
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
2181
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
2182
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
2183
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
2184
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
2185
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
2186
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
2187
from any tree without problems.
2188
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
2192
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
2193
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
2194
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
2196
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
2197
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
2198
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
2203
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
2204
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
2205
supported transports.
2208
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
2209
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
2210
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
2212
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
2213
(Robert Collins, #154173)
2215
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
2216
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
2217
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
2218
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
2220
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
2221
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
2225
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
2226
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
2227
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
2228
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2230
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
2231
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
2232
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
2233
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
2235
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
2236
(Robert Collins, #88319)
2238
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
2239
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
2241
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
2242
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
2244
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
2245
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
2250
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
2253
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
2254
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
2257
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
2258
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
2259
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
2260
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
2262
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
2263
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
2264
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
2265
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
2271
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
2272
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
2274
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
2275
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
2277
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
2278
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
2280
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
2281
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
2283
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
2284
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
2286
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
2287
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
2289
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
2290
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
2292
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
2295
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
2296
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
2298
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
2299
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
2300
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
2302
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
2303
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
2305
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
2306
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
2308
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
2309
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
2311
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
2312
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
2314
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
2315
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
2316
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
2317
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
2319
(Martin Pool, #164637)
2321
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
2322
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
2323
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
2325
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
2326
(Robert Collins, #161240)
2328
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
2330
(Martin Pool, #164443)
2332
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
2333
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
2335
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
2336
specify a port in urls.
2337
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
2339
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
2340
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
2342
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
2343

2349
(Robert Collins, #153789)
2351
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
2352
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
2353
(Robert Collins, #165304).
2355
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
2357
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
2358
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
2360
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
2363
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
2364
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
2366
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
2367
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
2369
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
2370
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
2371
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
2373
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
2374
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
2376
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
2377
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
2378
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
2379
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
2381
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
2382
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
2384

replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
2388
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
2389
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
2391

2394
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
2395
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
2399
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib

2402
* The return value of
2403
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
2404
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
2405
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
2406
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
2408
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
2411
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
2412
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
2418
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
2419
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
2420
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew

2424
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
