16
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
17
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
23
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
24
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
25
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
26
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
28
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
29
(Robert Collins, #88319)
31
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
32
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
36
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
37
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
38
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
39
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
45
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
46
(Robert Collins, #157789)
48
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
49
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
51
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
52
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
53
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
55
* Don't use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
56
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
58
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
59
(Robert Collins, #161240)
61
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
62
(Robert Collins, #153789)
64
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
66
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
67
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
69
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
70
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
71
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
73
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
74
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
76
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
77
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
81
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
82
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
89
bzr 0.92rc1 2007-10-29
90
======================
96
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
97
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
99
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
100
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
101
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
102
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
103
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
104
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
105
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
106
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
107
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
108
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
109
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
110
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
115
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
116
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
117
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
118
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
119
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developers/knitpack.html
120
for further details. (Robert Collins)
122
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
123
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
124
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
127
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
129
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
130
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
132
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
133
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
136
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
137
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
138
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
142
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
143
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
145
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
146
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
148
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
149
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
150
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
151
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
153
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
156
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
157
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
158
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
159
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
161
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
162
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
164
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
165
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
167
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
168
the contents. (Robert Collins)
170
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
171
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
175
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
176
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
178
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
179
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
181
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
182
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
184
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
185
(Martin Pool, #63894)
187
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
188
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
192
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
194
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
199
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
200
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
201
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
203
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
204
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
206
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
207
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
209
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
210
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
211
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
212
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
214
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
215
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
216
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
217
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
218
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
220
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
221
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
223
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
225
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
227
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
228
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
230
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
231
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
233
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
234
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
236
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
237
contains a symbolic link.
238
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
240
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
241
(James Westby, #140615)
243
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
244
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
245
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
247
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
248
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
249
(Martin Pool, #144633)
251
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
253
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
254
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
256
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
258
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
260
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
261
directory to detect leaking tests.
262
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
264
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
265
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
266
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
268
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
271
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
272
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
274
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
279
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
280
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
282
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
283
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
284
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
286
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
287
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
288
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
290
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
291
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
293
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
294
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
296
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
297
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
300
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
301
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
303
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
307
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
308
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
310
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
311
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
312
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
314
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
315
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
316
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
319
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
320
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
321
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
322
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
327
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
328
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
329
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
331
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
332
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
333
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
334
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
336
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
337
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
340
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
341
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
342
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
344
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
345
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
346
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
348
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
349
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
351
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
352
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
353
to complete. (Robert Collins)
355
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
356
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
358
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
359
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
360
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
362
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
363
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
364
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
366
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
367
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
368
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
369
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
371
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
372
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
373
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
374
returned. (Robert Collins)
376
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
377
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
379
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
380
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
381
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
382
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
385
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
386
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
390
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
391
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
393
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
394
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
395
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
396
makes this behavior available to other users.
399
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
400
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
408
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
409
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
410
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
412
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
414
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
415
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
416
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
417
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
419
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
420
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
424
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
425
======================
427
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
431
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
432
======================
436
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
437
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
438
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
439
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
442
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
443
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
444
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
449
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
450
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
451
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
454
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
455
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
456
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
458
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
459
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
460
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
462
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
463
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
465
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
466
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
467
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
468
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
469
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
470
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
471
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
472
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
473
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
474
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
476
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
477
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
479
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
480
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
481
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
485
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
486
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
488
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
489
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
490
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
492
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
493
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
495
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
496
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
498
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
501
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
502
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
504
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
505
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
507
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
508
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
510
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
511
(Blake Winton, #129299)
513
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
515
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
518
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
519
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
520
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
521
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
523
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
525
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
526
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
529
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
530
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
532
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
533
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
536
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
537
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
539
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
540
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
542
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
543
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
544
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
545
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
546
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
547
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
548
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
550
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
551
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
553
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
554
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
556
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
557
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
559
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
560
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
562
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
564
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
566
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
567
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
569
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
570
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
571
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
573
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
574
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
575
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
579
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
580
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
582
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
585
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
588
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
589
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
591
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
593
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
594
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
596
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
597
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
599
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
600
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
601
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
602
space). (Robert Collins)
604
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
605
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
608
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
609
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
611
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
612
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
614
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
615
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
616
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
617
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
619
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
620
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
621
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
624
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
627
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
628
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
629
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
631
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
632
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
633
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
634
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
635
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
639
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
640
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
642
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
643
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
644
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
645
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
646
affected. (Robert Collins)
648
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
649
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
650
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
653
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
654
previous release. (Martin Pool)
658
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
659
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
661
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
662
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
664
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
665
previous release. (Martin Pool)
667
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
670
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
671
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
675
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
676
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
677
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
678
its version information. (Robert Collins)
680
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
681
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
683
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
684
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
685
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
686
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
688
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
689
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
690
present. (Robert Collins)
692
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
693
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
694
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
695
API. (Robert Collins)
697
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
698
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
701
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
702
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
704
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
705
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
706
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
707
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
708
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
709
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
711
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
712
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
713
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
715
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
716
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
717
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
718
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
721
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
724
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
725
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
726
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
727
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
728
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
729
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
730
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
732
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
733
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
734
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
735
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
737
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
738
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
739
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
740
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
741
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
742
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
744
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
745
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
746
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
748
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
749
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
757
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
758
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
759
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
760
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
761
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
762
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
763
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
764
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
769
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
770
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
771
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
774
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
775
======================
779
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
780
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
781
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
782
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
783
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
785
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
786
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
788
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
790
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
792
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
793
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
796
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
797
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
800
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
803
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
804
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
806
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
807
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
809
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
810
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
812
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
813
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
815
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
816
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
818
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
823
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
824
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
826
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
827
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
829
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
830
the repository (Robert Collins)
832
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
833
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
834
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
835
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
836
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
838
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
839
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
841
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
842
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
845
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
846
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
847
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
849
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
850
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
851
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
854
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
855
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
858
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
859
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
861
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
864
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
866
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
868
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
869
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
871
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
872
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
875
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
876
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
877
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
878
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
880
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
881
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
882
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
884
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
885
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
886
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
888
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
889
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
891
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
892
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
893
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
894
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
895
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
896
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
899
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
900
(Alexander Belchenko)
902
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
903
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
905
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
906
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
908
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
910
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
911
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
915
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
916
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
917
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
918
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
920
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
922
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
925
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
926
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
927
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
928
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
929
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
930
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
934
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
935
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
936
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
937
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
939
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
940
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
941
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
942
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
943
tests have been refactored too.
946
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
947
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
948
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
952
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
953
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
954
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
956
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
957
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
958
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
959
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
960
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
961
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
962
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
964
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
965
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
966
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
967
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
970
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
971
functionality for testing.
973
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
975
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
976
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
978
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
980
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
983
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
984
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
986
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
987
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
988
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
990
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
993
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
994
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
996
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
997
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
998
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
999
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
1001
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
1002
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
1004
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
1005
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
1006
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
1008
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
1011
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
1012
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
1013
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
1014
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
1015
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
1016
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
1018
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
1019
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
1020
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
1021
many files. (Robert Collins)
1023
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
1024
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
1025
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
1026
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
1030
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
1031
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
1032
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
1034
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
1035
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
1037
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
1038
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
1039
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1043
====================
1047
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
1050
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
1051
=======================
1055
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
1056
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
1058
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
1059
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
1060
(James Westby, #122656)
1062
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
1063
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
1065
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
1066
authentication header.
1067
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
1069
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
1071
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
1072
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
1074
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
1076
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
1077
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
1079
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
1080
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
1081
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
1083
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
1084
individually and as part of revision ranges.
1085
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
1087
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
1088
(Martin Pool, #109169)
1090
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
1091
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
1093
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
1094
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
1096
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1098
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
1102
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
1103
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
1104
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
1105
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
1106
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
1107
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
1109
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
1110
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
1111
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
1113
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
1116
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
1117
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
1119
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
1120
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
1122
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
1123
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
1125
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
1126
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
1127
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
1128
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
1129
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
1131
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
1132
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
1134
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
1135
can be slow it is useful feedback).
1136
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
1138
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
1139
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
1141
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
1143
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
1144
output. (Aaron Bentley)
1146
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
1147
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
1150
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
1153
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
1154
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
1156
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
1157
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
1159
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
1160
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
1162
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
1164
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
1165
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
1167
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
1172
* Testing cleanups -

``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1182
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
1183
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
1184
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
1185
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1186
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
1187
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1188
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
1189
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
1192
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
1194
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
1195
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
1196
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
1198
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
1199
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
1201
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
1202
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1204
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
1206
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
1207
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
1208
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
1209
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
1210
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
1211
same location. (Robert Collins)
1215
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
1217
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
1219
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
1221
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
1224
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
1227
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
1228
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
1229
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
1231
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
1233
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
1234
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
1235
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
1237
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
1238
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
1240
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
1241
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
1242
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
1244
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
1245
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
1246
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
1248
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
1249
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
1250
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
1252
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
1253
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
1256
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
1257
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
1259
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
1260
(Alexander Belchenko)
1264
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
1265
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
1266
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
1267
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1269
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
1270
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
1271
testing. (Robert Collins)
1273
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
1274
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
1276
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
1277
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
1278
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
1279
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
1280
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
1281
attribute during the test parameterisation in
1282
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
1284
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
1285
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
1286
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
1287
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
1289
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
1290
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
1292
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
1293
avoid useless cloning.
1294
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
1298
====================
1302
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
1303
(Colin Watson, #120647)
1305
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.
1306
(Aaron Bentley, Ian Clatworthy, #120930)
1309
bzr 0.17rc1 2007-06-12
1310
=======================
1312
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1314
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
1315
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
1316
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
1317
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
1318
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
1319
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
1320
and unlock() like so::
1322
work_tree.lock_read()
1324
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
1329
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
1330
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
1332
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
1333
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
1334
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
1336
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
1337
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
1338
too. (Robert Collins)
1342
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
1343
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
1346
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
1347
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
1349
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
1350
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
1352
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
1353
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
1354
understanding what changes have occurred
1355
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
1357
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
1358
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
1359
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1361
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
1362
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
1363
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
1364
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
1366
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
1371
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
1372
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
1373
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
1374
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
1375
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
1377
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
1378
based on split paths, not just string paths.
1379
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
1381
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
1382
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
1384
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
1386
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
1388
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
1389
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
1391
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
1392
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
1394
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
1395
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
1397
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
1398
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
1400
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
1401
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
1403
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
1404
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
1405
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
1408
====================
1412
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
1413
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
1414
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
1415
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
1416
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
1418
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
1419
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
1420
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
1422
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
1423
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
1427
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
1428
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
1429
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
1431
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
1432
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
1433
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
1434
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
1436
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
1437
=======================
1441
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
1442
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
1443
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
1444
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
1446
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
1447
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
1448
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
1450
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
1451
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
1453
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
1454
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
1456
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
1457
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
1459
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
1460
=======================
1462
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1464
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
1465
it could be recovered again.
1466
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
1467
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
1468
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
1470
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
1472
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
1473
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
1477
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
1478
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
1480
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
1481
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
1482
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
1483
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
1485
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
1486
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
1488
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
1489
tests with names that match that regular expression.
1490
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
1492
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
1493
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
1494
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
1496
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
1497
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
1498
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
1500
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
1501
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
1504
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
1507
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
1508
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
1509
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
1510
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
1512
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
1515
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
1516
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
1517
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
1520
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
1521
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
1523
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
1524
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
1526
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
1527
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
1528
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
1529
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
1532
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
1533
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
1535
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
1536
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
1538
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
1539
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
1540
(Robert Collins, #107125).
1542
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
1543
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
1544
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
1546
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
1547
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
1548
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1550
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
1551
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
1552
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
1553
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
1555
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
1556
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
1557
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
1558
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
1560
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
1561
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
1562
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
1563
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
1564
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
1565
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
1566
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
1567
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
1573
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
1574
code paths. (Robert Collins)
1576
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
1577
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
1578
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
1579
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
1580
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1582
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
1583
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
1585
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
1586
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
1588
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
1589
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
1591
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
1592
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
1594
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
1595
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
1596
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
1599
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
1600
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
1601
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
1602
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
1603
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
1606
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
1607
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
1608
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
1610
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
1611
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
1614
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
1615
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
1616
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
1619
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
1620
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
1621
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
1622
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
1623
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
1625
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
1626
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
1627
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
1628
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1630
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
1631
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1633
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
1634
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
1635
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
1636
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
1637
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
1638
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
1640
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
1641
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
1643
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
1644
help. (Robert Collins)
1646
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
1647
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1649
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
1650
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
1651
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
1652
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
1653
(John Arbash Meinel)
1655
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
1656
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
1657
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
1658
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
1659
useful. (Robert Collins)
1661
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
1666
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
1667
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
1669
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
1670
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
1672
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
1673
properly and is no longer beneficial.
1674
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
1676
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
1679
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
1680
the file, and does it faster.
1681
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
1683
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
1684
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
1685
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
1687
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
1688
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
1689
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
1690
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
1692
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
1693
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
1694
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
1695
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
1697
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
1698
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
1700
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
1701
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
1702
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
1703
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
1706
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
1708
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
1709
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
1711
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
1712
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
1714
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
1715
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
1716
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
1717
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
1721
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
1722
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
1726
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
1727
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
1728
in running it. (Robert Collins)
1730
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
1731
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
1733
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
1734
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
1735
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
1736
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
1737
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
1738
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
1739
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
1740
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1742
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
1743
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
1744
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1746
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
1747
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
1748
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
1749
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
1750
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
1752
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1754
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
1755
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
1756
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1758
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
1759
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
1767
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
1770
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
1771
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
1774
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
1775
=======================
1779
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
1780
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
1785
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
1786
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
1787
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
1788
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
1789
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
1790
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
1791
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
1792
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
1797
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
1798
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
1799
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
1801
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
1802
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
1805
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
1806
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
1807
(John Arbash Meinel)
1809
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
1810
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
1811
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
1812
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
1813
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
1817
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
1820
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
1821
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
1823
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
1824
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
1826
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
1827
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
1828
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
1830
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
1831
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
1833
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
1834
last-changed-revision for directories. The
1835
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
1836
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
1837
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
1839
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
1840
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
1841
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
1843
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
1846
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
1847
=======================
1849
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1851
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
1852
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
1853
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
1857
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
1858
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
1860
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
1861
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
1863
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1865
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
1866
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
1868
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
1869
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
1873
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
1878
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
1879
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
1880
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
1881
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
1883
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
1884
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
1886
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
1887
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
1889
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
1892
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
1893
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
1896
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
1897
=======================
1901
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
1902
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
1903
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
1904
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
1905
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
1906
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
1908
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
1909
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
1910
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
1911
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
1912
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
1913
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
1915
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1917
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
1918
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
1919
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
1920
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
1921
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
1922
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
1923
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
1924
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1928
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
1929
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
1931
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
1932
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
1933
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
1934
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
1936
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
1937
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
1938
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
1939
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
1940
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
1942
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
1945
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
1948
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
1951
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
1952
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
1955
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
1958
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
1959
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
1961
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
1962
directory. (Martin Pool)
1964
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
1965
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
1966
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
1967
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
1969
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
1970
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
1971
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
1972
in docs/configuration.txt.
1974
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
1975
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
1978
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
1979
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
1980
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
1981
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
1982
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
1983
repositories. (Martin Pool)
1985
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
1986
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1988
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
1989
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
1991
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
1996
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
1997
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
1998
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
1999
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
2000
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
2001
(John Arbash Meinel)
2003
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
2004
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
2007
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
2008
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
2009
(John Arbash Meinel)
2011
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
2012
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
2013
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
2014
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
2015
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
2016
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
2018
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
2019
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
2020
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
2022
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
2023
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
2024
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
2025
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
2027
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2029
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
2030
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
2031
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
2032
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
2034
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
2035
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
2036
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
2037
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
2039
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
2040
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
2041
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
2043
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
2044
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
2045
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
2047
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
2048
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
2049
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
2050
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
2052
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
2053
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
2054
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
2056
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
2057
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
2058
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
2060
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
2061
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
2062
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
2063
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
2064
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
2065
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
2066
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
2067
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
2068
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
2069
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
2070
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
2074
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
2075
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
2076
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
2078
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
2081
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
2082
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
2083
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
2084
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
2086
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
2087
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
2090
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
2091
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
2093
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
2095
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
2096
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
2097
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
2099
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
2100
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
2102
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
2103
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
2105
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
2106
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
2108
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
2109
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
2111
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
2113
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
2114
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
2118
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
2119
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
2123
====================
2127
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
2131
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
2132
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
2133
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
2135
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
2136
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
2137
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
2140
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
2141
=======================
2145
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
2146
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
2147
server, then you can write over the http connection.
2148
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2150
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
2153
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
2154
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
2155
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2157
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
2158
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
2160
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
2163
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
2164
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
2165
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
2166
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
2167
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
2168
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
2170
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
2171
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
2172
should enable you to do::
2174
[/home/user/project]
2175
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
2176
push_location:policy = appendpath
2178
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
2179
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
2182
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
2183
for each file. For example::
2185
$ bzr status --short
2191
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
2192
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
2194
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
2196
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
2197
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
2199
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
2203
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
2204
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
2205
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
2206
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
2208
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
2209
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
2210
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
2212
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2214
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
2215
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
2216
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
2217
(Alexander Belchenko)
2219
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
2222
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
2223
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
2225
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
2229
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
2230
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
2232
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
2233
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
2234
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
2235
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
2236
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
2238
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
2239
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
2241
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
2242
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
2244
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
2246
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
2248
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
2249
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
2250
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
2251
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
2252
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
2254
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
2255
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
2256
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
2257
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
2259
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
2260
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
2262
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
2263
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
2265
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
2266
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
2268
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.
2269
(Alexander Belchenko, #68124)

No changes from 0.13rc1
2277
bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
2278
=======================
2282
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
2284
(Daniel Silverstone)
2286
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
2287
operations are substantially faster.
2288
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
2290
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
2291
tree from some other url. For example:
2292
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
2293
(Daniel Silverstone)
2295
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
2296
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
2297
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
2298
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
2300
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
2303
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
2304
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
2305
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
2306
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
2307
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
2308
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
2312
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
2313
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
2316
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2317
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2318
(John Arbash Meinel)
2320
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
2321
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
2322
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
2323
(John Arbash Meinel)
2325
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
2326
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
2328
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
2329
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2331
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
2332
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
2337
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
2338
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
2339
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
2341
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
2342
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
2343
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
2344
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
2346
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
2348
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
2349
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
2351
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
2352
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
2353
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
2354
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
2356
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
2357
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
2358
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
2360
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
2361
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
2362
them as full references rather than integers.
2363
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
2365
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
2366
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
2368
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
2370
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
2371
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
2373
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
2374
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
2376
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
2377
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
2378
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
2379
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
2381
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
2382
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
2383
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
2385
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
2386
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
2388
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
2389
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
2390
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
2391
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
2392
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
2396
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
2397
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
2400
====================
2404
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2405
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2406
(John Arbash Meinel)
2408
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
2409
=======================
2413
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
2414
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
2415
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
2416
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
2418
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
2419
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
2421
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
2423
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
2424
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
2425
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
2426
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2428
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
2429
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
2430
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
2431
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
2432
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
2434
API INCOMPATABILITY:
2436
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
2437
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
2441
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
2442
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
2443
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2445
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
2446
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
2447
(John Arbash Meinel)
2449
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
2450
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
2451
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
2453
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
2454
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
2457
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
2458
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
2459
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2461
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
2462
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
2463
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
2464
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
2465
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
2466
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2468
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
2469
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
2470
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
2473
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
2474
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
2478
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
2479
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
2480
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
2483
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
2484
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
2486
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
2487
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
2488
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
2490
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
2491
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
2493
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
2494
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
2495
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
2496
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
2498
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
2499
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
2501
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
2502
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
2503
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
2505
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
2506
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
2508
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2510
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
2511
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
2516
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
2517
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
2518
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
2519
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
2521
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
2522
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
2523
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2526
====================
2528
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
2530
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
2531
=======================
2535
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
2537
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
2540
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
2541
=======================
2545
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
2546
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
2547
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
2548
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
2549
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
2550
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
2551
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
2553
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
2554
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
2555
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
2557
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
2559
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
2560
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
2562
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
2563
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
2564
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
2567
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
2568
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
2569
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
2570
(John Arbash Meinel)
2572
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
2573
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
2574
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
2575
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
2578
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
2579
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
2580
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
2581
(John Arbash Meinel)
2585
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
2586
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
2588
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
2590
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
2591
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
2592
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
2594
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
2595
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
2597
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
2598
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
2600
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
2601
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
2603
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
2604
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
2606
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
2608
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
2609
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
2611
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
2612
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
2614
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
2615
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
2617
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
2618
(John Arbash Meinel)
2620
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
2621
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
2622
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
2624
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
2625
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2627
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
2628
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
2629
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
2630
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
2632
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
2633
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
2634
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
2636
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
2637
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
2641
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
2645
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
2646
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
2647
(John Arbash Meinel)
2649
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
2650
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
2651
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
2652
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2654
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
2657
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
2658
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
2659
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
2661
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
2662
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
2664
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
2665
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
2666
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
2668
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
2669
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
2670
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
2671
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
2672
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
2673
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
2674
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
2675
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
2676
caller to repeat their request.
2677
(John Arbash Meinel)
2679
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
2680
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
2682
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
2683
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
2685
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
2686
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
2687
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
2688
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
2689
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
2690
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
2691
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
2693
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
2694
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
2695
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
2696
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
2697
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
2698
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
2699
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
2700
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
2703
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
2704
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
2705
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
2707
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
2708
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
2710
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
2711
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
2713
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
2714
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2718
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
2719
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
2721
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
2722
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
2723
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2725
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
2726
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
2727
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2730
====================
2733
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
2734
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
2736
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
2737
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
2738
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
2739
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
2740
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
2742
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
2743
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
2744
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
2746
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
2747
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
2749
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
2750
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
2751
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2755
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
2757
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
2758
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
2759
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
2761
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
2763
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
2765
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
2766
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
2767
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
2768
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
2770
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
2771
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
2772
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
2773
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
2774
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
2776
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
2777
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
2779
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
2780
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
2782
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
2783
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
2785
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
2786
in handling of revision properties.
2787
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
2789
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
2790
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
2794
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
2795
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
2796
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
2797
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
2798
(John Arbash Meinel)
2800
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
2801
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
2802
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
2804
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
2805
=====================
2809
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
2810
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
2811
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
2812
specific one '.bzrignore'.
2813
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
2814
a more conservative list than the old default.
2815
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
2816
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
2817
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
2818
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
2820
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
2821
to more locations than just branch locations.
2826
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
2827
revno:N:branch. For example,
2828
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
2829
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
2831
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
2832
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
2833
the path of a file that has been versioned.
2834
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
2835
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
2836
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
2837
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
2838
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
2841
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
2842
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
2843
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
2846
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
2847
(Alexander Belchenko)
2849
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
2851
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
2854
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
2855
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
2856
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
2857
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
2858
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
2859
(John Arbash Meinel)
2861
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
2862
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
2863
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
2864
grained analysis of performance.
2865
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2867
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
2868
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
2870
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
2871
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
2872
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
2873
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
2874
file. (Robert Collins).
2876
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
2877
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
2878
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
2880
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
2881
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
2884
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
2885
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
2887
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
2888
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
2889
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
2890
the same way you would apply another branch.
2891
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
2893
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
2894
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
2896
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
2899
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
2902
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
2903
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
2904
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
2906
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
2907
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
2908
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
2910
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
2911
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
2913
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
2914
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
2915
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
2916
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
2917
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
2919
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
2920
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
2922
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
2923
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
2924
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
2925
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
2926
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
2927
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
2928
branch is as much as 4x faster.
2929
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
2931
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
2932
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
2933
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
2937
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
2939
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
2941
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
2942
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2944
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
2945
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
2947
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
2948
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
2950
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
2952
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
2953
(John Arbash Meinel)
2955
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
2956
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
2958
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
2959
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
2962
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
2963
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
2965
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
2966
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
2968
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
2969
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
2970
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
2971
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
2973
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
2974
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
2976
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
2978
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
2979
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
2981
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
2983
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
2985
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
2986
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
2988
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
2989
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
2991
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
2992
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
2993
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
2995
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
2996
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
2997
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
2999
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
3000
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
3002
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
3003
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
3005
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
3006
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
3008
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
3009
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
3011
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
3012
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
3014
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
3015
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
3016
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
3018
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
3020
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
3021
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
3025
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
3026
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
3027
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
3029
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
3030
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
3032
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
3033
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
3034
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3036
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
3037
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3039
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
3040
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
3043
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
3044
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
3045
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3047
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
3048
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
3049
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3051
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
3052
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
3053
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
3055
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
3056
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
3057
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
3059
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
3060
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
3061
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
3063
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
3064
instead. (Robert Collins)
3066
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
3068
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
3069
=====================
3073
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
3075
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
3076
=====================
3080
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
3081
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
3083
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
3084
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3086
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
3087
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
3088
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
3092
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
3094
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
3095
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
3097
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
3101
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
3102
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
3103
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
3104
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
3108
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
3109
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
3110
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
3114
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
3115
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
3116
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3120
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
3121
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
3126
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3128
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
3129
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
3130
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
3131
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
3132
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
3133
will keep the same format.
3135
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
3136
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
3137
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
3138
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
3139
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
3141
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
3142
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
3143
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
3144
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
3145
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
3146
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
3147
indicating the current revision of the branch.
3149
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
3150
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
3151
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
3152
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
3153
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
3155
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
3156
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
3157
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
3163
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
3164
convention. Paths now take the form::
3166
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
3168
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
3170
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
3171
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
3173
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
3174
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
3175
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
3177
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
3178
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
3179
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
3180
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
3182
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
3183
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
3184
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
3186
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
3188
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
3190
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
3191
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
3194
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
3195
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
3198
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
3200
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
3201
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
3202
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
3205
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
3207
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
3209
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
3212
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
3213
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
3215
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
3216
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
3219
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
3220
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
3223
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
3225
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
3227
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
3228
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
3230
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
3231
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
3232
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
3233
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
3234
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
3235
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
3237
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
3239
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
3240
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
3243
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
3244
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
3246
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
3247
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
3249
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
3251
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
3252
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
3253
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
3254
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
3255
specification by Martin Pool.
3256
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
3258
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
3261
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
3262
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3264
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
3265
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
3266
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
3268
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
3270
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
3271
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
3276
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
3277
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3279
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
3281
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
3283
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
3286
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
3287
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
3288
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
3289
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
3293
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
3294
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
3295
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
3296
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3298
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
3299
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
3300
tried. (Martin Pool)
3302
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
3305
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
3307
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
3308
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
3309
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
3311
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
3312
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
3314
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
3315
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
3316
paths. (Robert Collins)
3318
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
3319
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
3320
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
3322
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
3323
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
3324
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
3326
* Progress bars are now nested - see
3327
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
3328
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3330
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
3333
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
3336
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
3338
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
3340
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
3341
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
3342
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
3345
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
3346
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
3348
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
3349
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
3350
check. (Robert Collins)
3352
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
3353
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
3357
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
3358
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
3360
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
3361
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
3362
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
3363
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
3365
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
3366
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
3367
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
3368
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
3369
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
3371
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
3372
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
3373
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
3375
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
3377
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
3378
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
