NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
11
12
CHANGES:
13
14
FEATURES:
15
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
18
supported transports.
19
(Vincent Ladeuil)
20
21
PERFORMANCE:
22
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)
27
28
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
29
(Robert Collins, #88319)
30
31
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
32
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
33
34
IMPROVEMENTS:
35
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)
40
41
DOCUMENTATION:
42
43
BUG FIXES:
44
45
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
46
(Robert Collins, #157789)
47
48
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
49
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
50
51
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
52
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
53
54
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
55
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
56
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
57
58
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
59
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
60
61
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
62
(Robert Collins, #161240)
63
64
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
65
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
66
67
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
68
(Robert Collins, #153789)
69
70
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
71
72
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
73
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
74
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
75
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
76
77
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
78
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
79
80
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
81
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
82
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
83
84
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
85
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
86
87
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
88
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
89
90
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
91
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
92
93
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
94
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
95
96
API BREAKS:
97
98
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
99
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
100
101
* The return value of
102
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
103
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
104
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
105
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
106
107
INTERNALS:
108
109
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
110
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
111
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
112
Bennetts)
113
114
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
115
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
116

bzr 0.92rc1 2007-10-29
121
======================
122
123
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
124
125
CHANGES:
126
127
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
128
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
129
130
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
131
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
132
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
133
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
134
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
135
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
136
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
137
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
138
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
139
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
140
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
141
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
142
(Robert Collins)
143
144
FEATURES:
145
146
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
147
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
148
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
149
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
150
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developers/knitpack.html
151
for further details. (Robert Collins)
152
153
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
154
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
155
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
156
(Robert Collins)
157
158
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
159
160
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
161
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
162
163
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
164
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
165
(Aaron Bentley)
166
167
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
168
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
169
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
170
171
PERFORMANCE:
172
173
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
174
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
175
176
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
177
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
178
179
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
180
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
181
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
182
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
183
184
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
185
(Robert Collins)
186
187
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
188
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
189
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
190
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
191
192
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
193
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
194
195
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
196
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
197
198
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
199
the contents. (Robert Collins)
200
201
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
202
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
203
204
IMPROVEMENTS:
205
206
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
207
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
208
209
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
210
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
211
212
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
213
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
214
215
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
216
(Martin Pool, #63894)
217
218
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
219
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
220
221
DOCUMENTATION:
222
223
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
224
225
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
226
(Ian Clatworthy)
227
228
BUG FIXES:
229
230
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
231
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
232
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
233
234
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
235
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
236
237
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
238
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
239
240
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
241
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
242
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
243
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
244
245
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
246
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
247
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
248
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
249
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
250
251
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
252
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
253
paramiko.
254
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
255
256
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
257
258
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
259
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
260
261
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
262
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
263
264
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
265
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
266
267
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
268
contains a symbolic link.
269
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
270
271
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
272
(James Westby, #140615)
273
274
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
275
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
276
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
277
278
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
279
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
280
(Martin Pool, #144633)
281
282
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
283
284
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
285
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
286
287
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
288
will remain opened.
289
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
290
291
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
292
directory to detect leaking tests.
293
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
294
295
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
296
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
297
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
298
299
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
300
(Rob Weir, #141629)
301
302
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
303
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
304
305
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
306
Merwe)
307
308
API BREAKS:
309
310
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
311
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
312
313
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
314
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
315
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
316
317
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
318
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
319
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
320
321
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
322
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
323
324
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
325
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
326
327
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
328
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
329
(Martin Pool)
330
331
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
332
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
333
334
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
335
class that needs it.
336
(Martin Pool)
337
338
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
339
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
340
341
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
342
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
343
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
344
345
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
346
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
347
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
348
(Robert Collins)
349
350
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
351
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
352
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
353
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
354
(Robert Collins)
355
356
INTERNALS:
357
358
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
359
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
360
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
361
362
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
363
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
364
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
365
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
366
367
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
368
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
369
(Robert Collins)
370
371
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
372
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
373
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
374
375
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
376
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
377
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
378
379
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
380
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
381
382
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
383
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
384
to complete. (Robert Collins)
385
386
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
387
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
388
389
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
390
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
391
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
392
393
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
394
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
395
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
396
397
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
398
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
399
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
400
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
401
402
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
403
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
404
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
405
returned. (Robert Collins)
406
407
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
408
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
409
410
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
411
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
412
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
413
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
414
(Robert Collins)
415
416
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
417
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
418
419
TESTING:
420
421
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
422
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
423
424
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
425
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
426
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
427
makes this behavior available to other users.
428
(Martin Pool)
429
430
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
431
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
432
433
434
bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
435
===================
436
437
BUG FIXES:
438
439
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
440
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
441
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
442
443
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
444
445
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
446
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
447
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
448
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
449
450
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
451
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.

bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
456
======================
457
458
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
459
in bzrlib/remote.py.
460
461
462
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
463
======================
464
465
CHANGES:
466
467
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
468
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
469
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
470
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
471
(Martin Pool)
472
473
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
474
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
475
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
476
(Ian Clatworthy)
477
478
FEATURES:
479
480
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
481
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
482
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
483
(Lukáš Lalinský)
484
485
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
486
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
487
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
488
489
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
490
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
491
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
492
493
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
494
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
495
496
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
497
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
498
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
499
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
500
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
501
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
502
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
503
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
504
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
505
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
506
507
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
508
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
509
510
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
511
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
512
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
513
514
BUG FIXES:
515
516
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
517
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
518
519
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
520
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
521
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
522
523
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
524
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
525
526
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
527
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
528
529
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
530
(Aaron Bentley)
531
532
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
533
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
534
535
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
536
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
537
538
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
539
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
540
541
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
542
(Blake Winton, #129299)
543
544
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
545
546
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
547
Watkins, #106726)
548
549
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
550
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
551
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
552
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
553
554
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
555
556
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
557
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
558
#133548)
559
560
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
561
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
562
563
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
564
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
565
#116143)
566
567
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
568
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
569
570
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
571
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
572
573
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
574
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
575
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
576
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
577
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
578
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
579
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
580
581
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
582
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
583
584
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
585
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
586
587
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
588
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
589
590
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
591
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
592
593
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
594
connections.
595
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
596
597
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
598
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
599
600
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
601
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
602
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
603
604
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
605
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
606
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
607
608
IMPROVEMENTS:
609
610
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
611
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
612
613
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
614
(Aaron Bentley)
615
616
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
617
(Aaron Bentley)
618
619
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
620
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
621
622
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
623
624
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
625
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
626
627
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
628
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
629
630
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
631
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
632
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
633
space). (Robert Collins)
634
635
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
636
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
637
(Ian Clatworthy)
638
639
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
640
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
641
642
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
643
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
644
645
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
646
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
647
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
648
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
649
650
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
651
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
652
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
653
(Lukáš Lalinský)
654
655
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
656
(Ian Clatworthy)
657
658
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
659
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
660
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
661
662
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
663
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
664
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
665
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
666
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
667
668
API BREAKS:
669
670
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
671
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
672
673
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
674
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
675
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
676
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
677
affected. (Robert Collins)
678
679
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
680
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
681
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
682
(Robert Collins)
683
684
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
685
previous release. (Martin Pool)
686
687
TESTING:
688
689
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
690
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
691
692
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
693
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
694
695
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
696
previous release. (Martin Pool)
697
698
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
699
(Aaron Bentley)
700
701
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
702
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
703
704
INTERNALS:
705
706
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
707
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
708
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
709
its version information. (Robert Collins)
710
711
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
712
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
713
714
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
715
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
716
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
717
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
718
719
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
720
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
721
present. (Robert Collins)
722
723
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
724
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
725
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
726
API. (Robert Collins)
727
728
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
729
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
730
(Robert Collins)
731
732
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
733
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
734
735
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
736
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
737
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
738
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
739
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
740
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
741
742
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
743
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
744
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
745
746
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
747
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
748
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
749
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
750
protocol.
751
752
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
753
(Aaron Bentley)
754
755
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
756
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
757
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
758
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
759
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
760
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
761
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
762
763
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
764
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
765
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
766
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
767
768
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
769
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
770
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
771
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
772
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
773
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
774
775
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
776
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
777
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
778
779
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
780
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
781
782
783
bzr 0.90 2007-08-28
784
===================
785
786
IMPROVEMENTS:
787
788
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
789
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
790
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
791
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
792
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
793
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
794
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
795
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
796
797
798
API CHANGES:
799
800
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
801
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
802
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
803
804
805
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
806
======================
807
808
BUGFIXES:
809
810
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
811
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
812
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
813
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
814
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
815
816
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
817
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
818
819
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
820
anymore.
821
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
822
823
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
824
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
825
(Vincent Ladeuil)
826
827
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
828
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
829
#111664)
830
831
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
832
(Lukáš Lalinský)
833
834
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
835
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
836
837
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
838
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
839
840
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
841
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
842
843
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
844
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
845
846
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
847
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
848
849
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
850
(Aaron Bentley)
851
852
IMPROVEMENTS:
853
854
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
855
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
856
857
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
858
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
859
860
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
861
the repository (Robert Collins)
862
863
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
864
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
865
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
866
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
867
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
868
869
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
870
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
871
872
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
873
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
874
(John Arbash Meinel)
875
876
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
877
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
878
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
879
about 10%).
880
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
881
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
882
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
883
(John Arbash Meinel)
884
885
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
886
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
887
(Robert Collins)
888
889
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
890
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
891
892
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
893
(Ian Clatworthy)
894
895
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
896
897
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
898
899
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
900
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
901
902
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
903
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
904
Meinel)
905
906
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
907
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
908
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
909
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
910
911
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
912
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
913
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
914
915
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
916
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
917
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
918
919
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
920
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
921
922
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
923
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
924
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
925
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
926
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
927
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
928
(Ian Clatworthy)
929
930
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
931
(Alexander Belchenko)
932
933
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
934
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
935
936
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
937
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
938
939
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
940
941
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
942
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
943
944
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
945
946
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
947
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
948
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
949
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
950
951
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
952
953
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
954
(Robert Collins)
955
956
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
957
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
958
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
959
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
960
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
961
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
962
963
INTERNALS:
964
965
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
966
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
967
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
968
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
969
970
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
971
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
972
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
973
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
974
tests have been refactored too.
975
(Vincent Ladeuil)
976
977
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
978
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
979
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
980
list, it will.
981
(Vincent Ladeuil)
982
983
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
984
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
985
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
986
987
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
988
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
989
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
990
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
991
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
992
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
993
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
994
995
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
996
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
997
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
998
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
999
(John Arbash Meinel)
1000
1001
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
1002
functionality for testing.
1003
1004
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
1005
1006
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
1007
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1008
1009
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
1010
1011
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
1012
(Robert Collins)
1013
1014
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
1015
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
1016
1017
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
1018
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
1019
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
1020
1021
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
1022
(Aaron Bentley)
1023
1024
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
1025
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
1026
1027
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
1028
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
1029
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
1030
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
1031
1032
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
1033
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
1034
1035
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
1036
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
1037
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
1038
1039
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
1040
(Marius Kruger)
1041
1042
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
1043
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
1044
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
1045
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
1046
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
1047
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
1048
1049
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
1050
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
1051
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
1052
many files. (Robert Collins)
1053
1054
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
1055
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
1056
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
1057
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
1058
1059
TESTING:
1060
1061
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
1062
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
1063
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
1064
1065
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
1066
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
1067
1068
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
1069
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
1070
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

BUGFIXES:
1085
1086
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
1087
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
1088
1089
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
1090
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
1091
(James Westby, #122656)
1092
1093
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
1094

1095
1096
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
1097

* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
1108
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)

1111
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
1112
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
1113
1114
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
1115
individually and as part of revision ranges.
1116
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
1117
1118
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
1119
(Martin Pool, #109169)
1120
1121
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
1122
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
1123
1124
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
1125
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
1126
1127
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1128
1129
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
1130
1131
IMPROVEMENTS:
1132
1133
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
1134
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
1135
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
1136
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
1137
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
1138
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
1139
1140
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
1141
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
1142
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
1143
1144
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
1145
(Elliot Murphy)
1146
1147
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
1148
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
1149
1150
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
1151
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
1152
1153
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
1154
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
1155
1156
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
1157
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
1158
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
1159
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
1160
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
1161
1162
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
1163
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
1164
1165
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
1166
can be slow it is useful feedback).
1167
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
1168
1169
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
1170
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
1171
1172
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
1173
1174
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
1175
output. (Aaron Bentley)
1176
1177
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
1178
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
1179
(Robert Collins)
1180
1181
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
1182
(Martin Pool)
1183
1184
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
1185
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
1186
1187
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
1188
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
1189
1190
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
1191
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
1192
1193
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
1194
1195
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
1196
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
1197
1198
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
1199
(Andrew Bennetts)
1200
1201
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
1202
1203
* Testing cleanups -
1204
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1205
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
1206
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1207
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
1208
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1209
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
1210
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1211
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
1212
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1213
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
1214
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
1215
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
1216
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1217
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
1218
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1219
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
1220
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
1221
(Robert Collins)
1222
1223
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
1224
1225
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
1226
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
1227
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
1228
1229
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
1230
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
1231
1232
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
1233
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1234
1235
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
1236
1237
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
1238
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
1239
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
1240
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
1241
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
1242
same location. (Robert Collins)
1243
1244
INTERNALS:
1245
1246
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
1247
1248
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
1249
1250
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
1251
1252
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
1253
(Martin Pool)
1254
1255
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
1256
(Martin Pool)
1257
1258
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
1259
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
1260
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
1261
1262
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
1263
1264
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
1265
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
1266
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
1267
1268
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
1269
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
1270
1271
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
1272
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
1273
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
1274
1275
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
1276
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
1277
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
1278
1279
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
1280
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
1281
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
1282
1283
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
1284
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
1285
Martin Pool)
1286
1287
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
1288
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
1289
1290
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
1291
(Alexander Belchenko)
1292
1293
TESTING:
1294
1295
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
1296
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
1297
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
1298
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1299
1300
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
1301
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
1302
testing. (Robert Collins)
1303
1304
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
1305
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
1306
1307
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
1308
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
1309
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
1310
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
1311
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
1312
attribute during the test parameterisation in
1313
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
1314
1315
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
1316
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
1317
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
1318
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
1319
1320
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
1321
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
1322
1323
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
1324
avoid useless cloning.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1344
1345
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
1346
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
1347
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
1348
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
1349
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
1350
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
1351
and unlock() like so::
1352
1353
work_tree.lock_read()
1354
try:
1355
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
1356
finally:
1357
work_tree.unlock()
1358
1359
INTERNALS:
1360
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
1361
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
1362
object.
1363
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
1364
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
1365
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
1366
1367
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
1368
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
1369
too. (Robert Collins)
1370
1371
IMPROVEMENTS:
1372
1373
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
1374
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
1375
Aaron Bentley)
1376
1377
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
1378
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
1379
1380
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
1381
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
1382
1383
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
1384
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
1385
understanding what changes have occurred
1386
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
1387
1388
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
1389
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
1390
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1391
1392
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
1393
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
1394
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
1395
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
1396
1397
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
1398
#56322)
1399
1400
BUGFIXES:
1401
1402
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
1403
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
1404
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
1405
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
1406
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
1407
1408
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
1409
based on split paths, not just string paths.
1410
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
1411
1412
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
1413
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
1414
1415
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
1416
into account.
1417
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
1418
1419
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
1420
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
1421
1422
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
1423
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
1424
1425
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
1426
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
1427
1428
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
1429
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
1430
1431
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
1432
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
1433
1434
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
1435
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
1436
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

bzr 0.16 2007-05-07
1439
====================
1440
1441
BUGFIXES:
1442
1443
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
1444
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
1445
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
1446
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
1447
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
1448
1449
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
1450
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
1451
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
1452
1453
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
1454
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
1455
1456
IMPROVEMENTS:
1457
1458
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
1459
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
1460
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
1461
1462
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
1463
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
1464
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
1465
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

1468
=======================
1469
1470
BUGFIXES:
1471
1472
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
1473
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
1474
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
1475
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
1476
1477
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
1478
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
1479
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
1480
1481
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
1482
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
1483
1484
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
1485
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
1486
1487
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
1488
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
1489
1490
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
1491
=======================
1492
1493
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1494
1495
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
1496
it could be recovered again.
1497
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
1498
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
1499
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
1500
but not delete it.
1501
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
1502
files.
1503
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
1504
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
1505
1506
IMPROVEMENTS:
1507
1508
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
1509
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
1510
1511
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
1512
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
1513
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
1514
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
1515
1516
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
1517
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
1518
1519
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
1520
tests with names that match that regular expression.
1521
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
1522
1523
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
1524
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
1525
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
1526
1527
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
1528
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
1529
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
1530
1531
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
1532
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
1533
Robert Collins)
1534
1535
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
1536
Pool)
1537
1538
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
1539
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
1540
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
1541
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
1542
1543
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
1544
(Robert Collins)
1545
1546
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
1547
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
1548
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
1549
(Robert Collins)
1550
1551
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
1552
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
1553
1554
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
1555
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
1556
1557
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
1558
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
1559
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
1560
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
1561
(Robert Collins)
1562
1563
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
1564
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
1565
1566
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
1567
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
1568
1569
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
1570
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
1571
(Robert Collins, #107125).
1572
1573
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
1574
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
1575
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
1576
1577
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
1578
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
1579
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1580
1581
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
1582
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
1583
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
1584
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
1585
1586
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
1587
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
1588
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
1589
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
1590
1591
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
1592
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
1593
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
1594
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
1595
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
1596
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
1597
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
1598
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
1599
header(s).
1600
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1601
1602
INTERNALS:
1603
1604
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
1605
code paths. (Robert Collins)
1606
1607
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
1608
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
1609
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
1610
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
1611
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1612
1613
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
1614
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
1615
1616
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
1617
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
1618
1619
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
1620
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
1621
1622
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
1623
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
1624
1625
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
1626
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
1627
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
1628
(Robert Collins).
1629
1630
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
1631
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
1632
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
1633
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
1634
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
1635
(Robert Collins)
1636
1637
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
1638
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
1639
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
1640
1641
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
1642
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
1643
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1644
1645
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
1646
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
1647
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
1648
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1649
1650
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
1651
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
1652
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
1653
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
1654
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
1655
1656
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
1657
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
1658
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
1659
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1660
1661
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
1662
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1663
1664
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
1665
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
1666
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
1667
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
1668
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
1669
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
1670
1671
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
1672
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
1673
1674
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
1675
help. (Robert Collins)
1676
1677
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
1678
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1679
1680
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
1681
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
1682
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
1683
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
1684
(John Arbash Meinel)
1685
1686
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
1687
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
1688
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
1689
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
1690
useful. (Robert Collins)
1691
1692
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
1693
(Andrew Bennetts)
1694
1695
BUGFIXES:
1696
1697
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
1698
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
1699
1700
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
1701
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
1702
1703
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
1704
properly and is no longer beneficial.
1705
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
1706
1707
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
1708
(Aaron Bentley)
1709
1710
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
1711
the file, and does it faster.
1712
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
1713
1714
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
1715
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
1716
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
1717
1718
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
1719
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
1720
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
1721
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
1722
1723
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
1724
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
1725
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
1726
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
1727
1728
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
1729
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
1730
1731
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
1732
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
1733
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
1734
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
1735
Arbash Meinel)
1736
1737
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
1738
1739
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
1740
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
1741
1742
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
1743
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
1744
1745
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
1746
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
1747
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
1748
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
1749
security hole.
1750
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1751
1752
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
1753
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
1754
1755
TESTING:
1756
1757
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
1758
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
1759
in running it. (Robert Collins)
1760
1761
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
1762
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
1763
1764
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
1765
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
1766
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
1767
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
1768
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
1769
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
1770
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
1771
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1772
1773
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
1774
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
1775
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1776
1777
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
1778
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
1779
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
1780
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
1781
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
1782
access.
1783
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1784
1785
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
1786
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
1787
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1788
1789
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
1790
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

CHANGES:
1809
1810
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
1811

1812
(Martin Pool)
1813
1814
IMPROVEMENTS:
1815
1816
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
1817
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
1818
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
1819
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
1820
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
1821
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
1822
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
1823
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
1824
path. (vila)
1825
1826
INTERNALS:
1827
1828
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
1829
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
1830
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
1831
1832
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
1833
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
1834
(Martin Pool)
1835
1836
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
1837
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
1838
(John Arbash Meinel)
1839
1840
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
1841
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
1842
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
1843
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
1844
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
1845
1846
BUGFIXES:
1847
1848
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
1849
(vila, #92195)
1850
1851
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
1852
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
1853
1854
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
1855
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
1856
1857
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
1858
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
1859
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
1860
1861
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
1862
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
1863
1864
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
1865
last-changed-revision for directories. The
1866
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
1867
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
1868
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
1869
1870
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
1871
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
1872
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
1873
1874
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
1878
=======================
1879
1880
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1881
1882
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
1883
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
1884
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
1885
1886
IMPROVEMENTS:
1887
1888
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
1889
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
1890
1891
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
1892
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
1893
1894
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1895
1896
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
1897
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
1898
1899
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
1900
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
1901
1902
INTERNALS:
1903
1904
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
1905
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
1906
1907
BUGFIXES:
1908
1909
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
1910
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
1911
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
1912
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
1913
1914
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
1915
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
1916
1917
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
1918
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
1919
1920
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
1921
(Marien Zwart)
1922
1923
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
1928
=======================
1929
1930
SURPRISES:
1931
1932
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
1933
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
1934
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
1935
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
1936
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
1937
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
1938
1939
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
1940
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
1941
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
1942
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
1943
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
1944
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
1945
development.
1946
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1947
1948
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
1949
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
1950
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
1951
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
1952
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
1953
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
1954
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
1955
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1956
1957
IMPROVEMENTS:
1958
1959
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
1960
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
1961
1962
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
1963
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
1964
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
1965
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
1966
does exist.
1967
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
1968
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
1969
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
1970
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
1971
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
1972
1973
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
1974
(Aaron Bentley)
1975
1976
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
1977
(Aaron Bentley)
1978
1979
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
1980
(Robert Collins)
1981
1982
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
1983
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
1984
(Aaron Bentley)
1985
1986
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
1987
(Aaron Bentley)
1988
1989
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
1990
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
1991
1992
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
1993
directory. (Martin Pool)
1994
1995
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
1996
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
1997
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
1998
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
1999
2000
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
2001
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
2002
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
2003
in docs/configuration.txt.
2004
2005
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
2006
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
2007
bind location.
2008
2009
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
2010
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
2011
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
2012
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
2013
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
2014
repositories. (Martin Pool)
2015
2016
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
2017
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2018
2019
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
2020
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
2021
2022
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
2023
(Aaron Bentley)
2024
2025
INTERNALS:
2026
2027
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
2028
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
2029
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
2030
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
2031
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
2032
(John Arbash Meinel)
2033
2034
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
2035
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
2036
(Aaron Bentley)
2037
2038
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
2039
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
2040
(John Arbash Meinel)
2041
2042
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
2043
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
2044
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
2045
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
2046
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
2047
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
2048
2049
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
2050
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
2051
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
2052
2053
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
2054
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
2055
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
2056
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
2057
repository.
2058
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2059
2060
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
2061
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
2062
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
2063
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
2064
2065
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
2066
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
2067
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
2068
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
2069
2070
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
2071
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
2072
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
2073
2074
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
2075
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
2076
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
2077
2078
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
2079
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
2080
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
2081
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
2082
2083
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
2084
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
2085
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
2086
2087
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
2088
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
2089
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
2090
2091
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
2092
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
2093
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
2094
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
2095
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
2096
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
2097
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
2098
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
2099
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

2101
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
2102
2103
BUGFIXES:
2104
2105
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
2106
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
2107
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
2108
2109
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
2110
(Aaron Bentley)
2111
2112
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
2113
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
2114
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
2115
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
2116
2117
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
2118
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
2119
#83954).
2120
2121
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
2122
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
2123
2124
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
2125
2126
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
2127
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
2128
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
2129
2130
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
2131
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
2132
2133
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
2134
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
2135
2136
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
2137
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
2138
2139
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
2140
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
2141
2142
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
2143
2144
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
2145
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
2146
2147
TESTING:
2148
2149
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
2150
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

====================
2155
2156
IMPROVEMENTS:
2157
2158
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
2159
2160
BUG FIXES:
2161
2162
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
2163
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
2164
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
2165
2166
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
2167
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
2168
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

2171
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
2172
=======================
2173
2174
IMPROVEMENTS:
2175
2176
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
2177
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
2178
server, then you can write over the http connection.
2179
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2180
2181
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
2182
(Marius Kruger)
2183
2184
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
2185
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
2186
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2187
2188
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
2189
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
2190
2191
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
2192
(Aaron Bentley)
2193
2194
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
2195
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
2196
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
2197
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
2198
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
2199
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
2200
2201
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
2202
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
2203
should enable you to do::
2204
2205
[/home/user/project]
2206
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
2207
push_location:policy = appendpath
2208
2209
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
2210
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
2211
(James Henstridge)
2212
2213
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
2214
for each file. For example::
2215
2216
$ bzr status --short
2217
A foo
2218
A bar
2219
D baz
2220
? wooley
2221
2222
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
2223
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
2224
2225
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
2226
2227
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
2228
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
2229
2230
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
2231
2232
INTERNALS:
2233
2234
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
2235
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
2236
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
2237
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
2238
2239
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
2240
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
2241
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
2242
2243
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2244
2245
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
2246
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
2247
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
2248
(Alexander Belchenko)
2249
2250
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
2251
Pool)
2252
2253
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
2254
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
2255
2256
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
2257
2258
BUG FIXES:
2259
2260
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
2261
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
2262
2263
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
2264
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
2265
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
2266
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
2267
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
2268
2269
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
2270
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
2271
2272
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
2273
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
2274
2275
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
2276
matcher.
2277
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
2278
2279
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
2280
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
2281
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
2282
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
2283
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
2284
2285
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
2286
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
2287
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
2288
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
2289
2290
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
2291
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
2292
2293
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
2294
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
2295
2296
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
2297
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
2298
2299
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

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

2311
IMPROVEMENTS:
2312
2313
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
2314
tree from a branch.
2315
(Daniel Silverstone)
2316
2317
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
2318
operations are substantially faster.
2319
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
2320
2321
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
2322
tree from some other url. For example:
2323
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
2324
(Daniel Silverstone)
2325
2326
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
2327
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
2328
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
2329
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
2330
2331
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
2332
(Andrew Bennetts)
2333
2334
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
2335
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
2336
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
2337
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
2338
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
2339
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
2340
2341
INTERNALS:
2342
2343
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
2344
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
2345
(Martin Pool)
2346
2347
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2348
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2349
(John Arbash Meinel)
2350
2351
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
2352
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
2353
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
2354
(John Arbash Meinel)
2355
2356
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
2357
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
2358
2359
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
2360
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2361
2362
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
2363
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
2364
Bennetts)
2365
2366
BUG FIXES:
2367
2368
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
2369
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
2370
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
2371
2372
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
2373
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
2374
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
2375
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
2376
2377
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
2378
2379
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
2380
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
2381
2382
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
2383
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
2384
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
2385
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
2386
2387
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
2388
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
2389
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
2390
2391
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
2392
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
2393
them as full references rather than integers.
2394
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
2395
2396
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
2397
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
2398
2399
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
2400
2401
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
2402
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
2403
2404
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
2405
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
2406
2407
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
2408
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
2409
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
2410
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
2411
2412
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
2413
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
2414
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
2415
2416
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
2417
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
2418
2419
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
2420
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
2421
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
2422
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
2423
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
2424
2425
TESTING:
2426
2427
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
2428
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
2429

2431
====================
2432
2433
INTERNALS:
2434
2435
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2436
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2437
(John Arbash Meinel)
2438
2439
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
2440
=======================
2441
2442
IMPROVEMENTS:
2443
2444
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
2445
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
2446
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
2447
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
2448
2449
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
2450
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
2451
2452
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
2453
2454
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
2455
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
2456
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
2457
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2458
2459
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
2460
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
2461
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
2462
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
2463
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
2464
2465
API INCOMPATABILITY:
2466
2467
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
2468
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
2469
2470
INTERNALS:
2471
2472
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
2473
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
2474
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2475
2476
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
2477
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
2478
(John Arbash Meinel)
2479
2480
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
2481
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
2482
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
2483
2484
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
2485
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
2486
(Aaron Bentley)
2487
2488
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
2489
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
2490
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2491
2492
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
2493
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
2494
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
2495
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
2496
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
2497
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2498
2499
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
2500
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
2501
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
2502
(Robert Collins)
2503
2504
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
2505
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
2506
2507
BUG FIXES:
2508
2509
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
2510
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
2511
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
2512
#63360, #66349)
2513
2514
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
2515
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
2516
2517
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
2518
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
2519
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
2520
2521
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
2522
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
2523
2524
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
2525
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
2526
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
2527
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
2528
2529
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
2530
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
2531
2532
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
2533
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
2534
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
2535
2536
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
2537
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
2538
2539
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2540
2541
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
2542
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
2543
#32054)
2544
2545
TESTING:
2546
2547
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
2548
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
2549
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
2550
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
2551
2552
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
2553
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
2554
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2555
2556
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

BUG FIXES:
2565
2566
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
2567
2568
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
2569
Arbash Meinel).
2570
2571
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
2572
=======================
2573
2574
IMPROVEMENTS:
2575
2576
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
2577
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
2578
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
2579
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
2580
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
2581
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
2582
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
2583
2584
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
2585
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
2586
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
2587
2588
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
2589
2590
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
2591
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
2592
2593
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
2594
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
2595
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
2596
(Robert Collins)
2597
2598
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
2599
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
2600
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
2601
(John Arbash Meinel)
2602
2603
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
2604
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
2605
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
2606
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
2607
Pool)
2608
2609
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
2610
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
2611
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
2612
(John Arbash Meinel)
2613
2614
BUG FIXES:
2615
2616
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
2617
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
2618
2619
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
2620
2621
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
2622
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
2623
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
2624
2625
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
2626
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
2627
2628
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
2629
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
2630
2631
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
2632
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
2633
2634
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
2635
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
2636
2637
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
2638
2639
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
2640
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
2641
2642
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
2643
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
2644
2645
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
2646
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
2647
2648
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
2649
(John Arbash Meinel)
2650
2651
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
2652
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
2653
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
2654
2655
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
2656
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2657
2658
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
2659
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
2660
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
2661
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
2662
2663
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
2664
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
2665
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
2666
2667
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
2668
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
2669
2670
PORTABILITY:
2671
2672
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
2673
2674
INTERNALS:
2675
2676
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
2677
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
2678
(John Arbash Meinel)
2679
2680
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
2681
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
2682
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
2683
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2684
2685
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
2686
(Andrew Bennetts)
2687
2688
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
2689
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
2690
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
2691
2692
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
2693
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
2694
2695
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
2696
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
2697
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
2698
2699
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
2700
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
2701
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
2702
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
2703
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
2704
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
2705
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
2706
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
2707
caller to repeat their request.
2708
(John Arbash Meinel)
2709
2710
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
2711
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
2712
2713
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
2714
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
2715
2716
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
2717
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
2718
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
2719
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
2720
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
2721
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
2722
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
2723
2724
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
2725
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
2726
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
2727
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
2728
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
2729
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
2730
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
2731
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
2732
(Robert Collins)
2733
2734
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
2735
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
2736
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
2737
2738
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
2739
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
2740
2741
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
2742
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
2743
2744
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
2745
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2746
2747
TESTING:
2748
2749
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
2750
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
2751
2752
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
2753
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
2754
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2755
2756
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
2757
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
2758
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2759
2760
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
2761
====================
2762
2763
IMPROVEMENTS:
2764
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
2765
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
2766
2767
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
2768
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
2769
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
2770
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
2771
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
2772
2773
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
2774
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
2775
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
2776
2777
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
2778
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
2779
2780
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
2781
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
2782
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2783
2784
BUG FIXES:
2785
2786
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
2787
2788
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
2789
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
2790
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
2791
2792
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
2793
2794
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
2795
2796
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
2797
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
2798
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
2799
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
2800
2801
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
2802
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
2803
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
2804
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
2805
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
2806
2807
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
2808
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
2809
2810
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
2811
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
2812
2813
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
2814
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
2815
2816
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
2817
in handling of revision properties.
2818
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
2819
2820
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
2821
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
2822
2823
INTERNALS:
2824
2825
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
2826
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
2827
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
2828
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
2829
(John Arbash Meinel)
2830
2831
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
2832
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
2833
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
2834
2835
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
2836
=====================
2837
2838
SURPRISES:
2839
2840
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
2841
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
2842
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
2843
specific one '.bzrignore'.
2844
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
2845
a more conservative list than the old default.
2846
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
2847
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
2848
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
2849
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
2850
2851
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
2852
to more locations than just branch locations.
2853
(Aaron Bentley)
2854
2855
IMPROVEMENTS:
2856
2857
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
2858
revno:N:branch. For example,
2859
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
2860
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
2861
2862
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
2863
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
2864
the path of a file that has been versioned.
2865
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
2866
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
2867
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
2868
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
2869
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
2870
#42517, #42514)
2871
2872
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
2873
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
2874
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
2875
(Malone #3507)
2876
2877
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
2878
(Alexander Belchenko)
2879
2880
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
2881
2882
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
2883
(Robert Collins).
2884
2885
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
2886
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
2887
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
2888
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
2889
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
2890
(John Arbash Meinel)
2891
2892
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
2893
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
2894
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
2895
grained analysis of performance.
2896
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2897
2898
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
2899
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
2900
2901
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
2902
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
2903
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
2904
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
2905
file. (Robert Collins).
2906
2907
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
2908
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
2909
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
2910
2911
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
2912
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
2913
Matthieu Moy)
2914
2915
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
2916
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
2917
2918
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
2919
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
2920
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
2921
the same way you would apply another branch.
2922
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
2923
2924
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
2925
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
2926
2927
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
2928
(Michael Ellerman)
2929
2930
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
2931
(Aaron Bentley)
2932
2933
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
2934
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
2935
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
2936
2937
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
2938
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
2939
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
2940
2941
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
2942
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
2943
2944
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
2945
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
2946
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
2947
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
2948
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
2949
2950
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
2951
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
2952
2953
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
2954
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
2955
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
2956
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
2957
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
2958
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
2959
branch is as much as 4x faster.
2960
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
2961
2962
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
2963
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
2964
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
2965
2966
BUG FIXES:
2967
2968
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
2969
tests not to run.
2970
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
2971
2972
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
2973
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2974
2975
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
2976
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
2977
2978
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
2979
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
2980
2981
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
2982
2983
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
2984
(John Arbash Meinel)
2985
2986
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
2987
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
2988
2989
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
2990
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
2991
and y.
2992
2993
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
2994
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
2995
2996
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
2997
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
2998
2999
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
3000
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
3001
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
3002
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
3003
3004
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
3005
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
3006
3007
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
3008
3009
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
3010
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
3011
3012
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
3013
3014
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
3015
3016
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
3017
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
3018
3019
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
3020
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
3021
3022
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
3023
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
3024
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
3025
3026
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
3027
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
3028
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
3029
3030
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
3031
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
3032
3033
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
3034
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
3035
3036
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
3037
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
3038
3039
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
3040
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
3041
3042
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
3043
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
3044
3045
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
3046
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
3047
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
3048
3049
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
3050
3051
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
3052
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
3053
3054
INTERNALS:
3055
3056
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
3057
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
3058
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
3059
3060
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
3061
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
3062
3063
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
3064
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
3065
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3066
3067
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
3068
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3069
3070
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
3071
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
3072
(Martin Pool)
3073
3074
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
3075
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
3076
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3077
3078
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
3079
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
3080
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3081
3082
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
3083
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
3084
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
3085
3086
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
3087
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
3088
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
3089
3090
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
3091
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
3092
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
3093
3094
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
3095
instead. (Robert Collins)
3096
3097
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
3100
=====================
3101
3102
BUG FIXES:
3103
3104
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
3105
3106
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
3107
=====================
3108
3109
BUG FIXES:
3110
3111
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
3112
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
3113
3114
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
3115
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3116
3117
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
3118
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
3119
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
3120
3121
CHANGES:
3122
3123
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
3124
3125
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
3126
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
3127
3128
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
3129
3130
CHANGES:
3131
3132
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
3133
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
3134
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
3135
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
3136
3137
NEW FEATURES:
3138
3139
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
3140
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
3141
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
3142
3143
INTERNALS:
3144
3145
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
3146
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
3147
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3148
3149
TESTING:
3150
3151
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
3152
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
3153
3154
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
3155
===================
3156
3157
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3158
3159
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
3160
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
3161
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
3162
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
3163
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
3164
will keep the same format.
3165
3166
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
3167
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
3168
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
3169
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
3170
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
3171
3172
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
3173
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
3174
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
3175
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
3176
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
3177
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
3178
indicating the current revision of the branch.
3179
3180
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
3181
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
3182
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
3183
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
3184
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
3185
3186
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
3187
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
3188
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
3189
arrangement.
3190
3191
3192
IMPROVEMENTS:
3193
3194
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
3195
convention. Paths now take the form::
3196
3197
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
3198
or
3199
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
3200
3201
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
3202
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
3203
3204
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
3205
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
3206
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
3207
3208
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
3209
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
3210
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
3211
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
3212
3213
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
3214
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
3215
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
3216
3217
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
3218
3219
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
3220
3221
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
3222
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
3223
commits::
3224
3225
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
3226
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
3227
| xargs bzr re-sign
3228
3229
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
3230
3231
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
3232
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
3233
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
3234
(Robert Collins)
3235
3236
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
3237
3238
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
3239
3240
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
3241
'.moved'.
3242
3243
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
3244
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
3245
3246
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
3247
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
3248
Daniel Silverstone)
3249
3250
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
3251
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
3252
Martin Pool)
3253
3254
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
3255
3256
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
3257
3258
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
3259
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
3260
3261
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
3262
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
3263
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
3264
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
3265
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
3266
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
3267
3268
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
3269
3270
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
3271
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
3272
(Robert Collins)
3273
3274
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
3275
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
3276
3277
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
3278
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
3279
3280
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
3281
3282
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
3283
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
3284
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
3285
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
3286
specification by Martin Pool.
3287
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
3288
3289
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
3290
Belchenko)
3291
3292
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
3293
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3294
3295
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
3296
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
3297
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
3298
3299
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
3300
3301
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
3302
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
3303
(Robert Collins)
3304
3305
CHANGES:
3306
3307
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
3308
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3309
3310
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
3311
3312
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
3313
3314
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
3315
(Olaf Conradi)
3316
3317
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
3318
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
3319
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
3320
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
3321
3322
INTERNALS:
3323
3324
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
3325
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
3326
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
3327
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3328
3329
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
3330
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
3331
tried. (Martin Pool)
3332
3333
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
3334
(Martin Pool)
3335
3336
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
3337
3338
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
3339
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
3340
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
3341
3342
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
3343
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
3344
3345
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
3346
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
3347
paths. (Robert Collins)
3348
3349
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
3350
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
3351
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
3352
3353
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
3354
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
3355
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
3356
3357
* Progress bars are now nested - see
3358
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
3359
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3360
3361
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
3362
(Olaf Conradi)
3363
3364
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
3365
(Olaf Conradi)
3366
3367
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
3368
3369
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
3370
3371
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
3372
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
3373
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
3374
(Robert Collins)
3375
3376
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
3377
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
3378
3379
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
3380
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
3381
check. (Robert Collins)
3382
3383
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
3384
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
3385
3386
TESTING:
3387
3388
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
3389
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
3390
3391
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
3392
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
3393
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
3394
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
3395
3396
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
3397
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
3398
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
3399
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
3400
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
3401
3402
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
3403
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
3404
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
3405
3406
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
3407
3408
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
3409
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
3410
3411
bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
3412
==================
3413
3414
CHANGES:
3415
3416
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
3417
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
3418
3419
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
3420
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
3421
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
3422
(Johan Rydberg)
3423
3424
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
3425
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
3426
3427
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
3428
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
3429
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
3430
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
3431
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3432
3433
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
3434
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
3435
used. (Robert Collins)
3436
3437
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
3438
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
3439
(James Henstridge)
3440
3441
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
3442
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
3443
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
3444
3445
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
3446
ignore list.
3447
3448
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
3449
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
3450
3451
IMPROVEMENTS:
3452
3453
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
3454
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
3455
3456
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
3457
3458
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
3459
3460
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
3461
tree. (Robert Collins)
3462
3463
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
3464
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
3465
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
3466
(Robert Collins)
3467
3468
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
3469
that they be kept.
3470
3471
* Tweaks to short log printing
3472
3473
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
3474
(Aaron Bentley)
3475
3476
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
3477
occurs. (Martin Pool)
3478
3479
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
3480
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
3481
3482
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
3483
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
3484
3485
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
3486
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
3487
settings. (Magnus Therning)
3488
3489
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
3490
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3491
3492
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
3493
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
3494
requests.
3495
3496
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
3497
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
3498
3499
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
3500
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
3501
3502
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
3503
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
3504
3505
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
3506
(Denys Duchier)
3507
3508
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
3509
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
3510
3511
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
3512
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
3513
3514
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
3515
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
3516
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
3517
3518
BUG FIXES:
3519
3520
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
3521
3522
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3523
3524
* Error when run with -OO
3525
3526
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
3527
(Martin Pool)
3528
3529
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
3530
3531
* Change status to 3 for all errors
3532
3533
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
3534
ignored by diff and status
3535
3536
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
3537
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
3538
3539
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
3540
3541
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
3542
3543
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
3544
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
3545
3546
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
3547
email address. (Marien Zwart)
3548
3549
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
3550
(Harald Meland)
3551
3552
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
3553
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3554
3555
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
3556
3557
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
3558
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
3559
3560
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
3561
(Martin Pool)
3562
3563
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
3564
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
3565
3566
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
3567
3568
TESTING:
3569
3570
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
3571
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
3572
3573
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3574
3575
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3576
3577
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
3578
3579
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
3580
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
3581
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3582
3583
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3584
3585
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
3586
(John Arbash Meinel)
3587
3588
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
3589
3590
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
3591
If adding a new test script please add that to
3592
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
3593
3594
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
3595
imported. (Martin Pool)
3596
3597
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
3598
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
3599
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
3600
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
3601
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
3602
(Robert Collins)
3603
3604
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
3605
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
3606
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
3607
3608
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
3609
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
3610
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3611
3612
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
3613
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
3614
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
3615
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
3616
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
3617
(Robert Collins).
3618
3619
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
3620
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
3621
(Robert Collins).
3622
3623
INTERNALS:
3624
3625
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
3626
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
3627
3628
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
3629
function. (Robert Collins)
3630
3631
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
3632
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
3633
if needed). (Robert Collins)
3634
3635
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
3636
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
3637
(Robert Collins)
3638
3639
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
3640
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
3641
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
3642
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
3643
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
3644
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
3645
version. (Robert Collins)
3646
3647
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
3648
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
3649
3650
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
3651
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
3652
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
3653
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
3654
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
3655
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
3656
3657
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
3658
(Robert Collins)
3659
3660
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
3661
3662
add()
3663
commit()
3664
move()
3665
rename_one()
3666
unknowns()
3667
3668
(Robert Collins)
3669
3670
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
3671
3672
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
3673
3674
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
3675
Pool)
3676
3677
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
3678
query method. (Robert Collins)
3679
3680
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
3681
(Denys Duchier)
3682
3683
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
3684
(Michael Ellerman)
3685
3686
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
3687
(Michael Ellerman)
3688
3689
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
3690
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
3691
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
3692
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
3693
3694
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
3695
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
3696
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
3697
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
3698
3699
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
3700
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
3701

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

4134
PORTABILITY:
4135

bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
4142
====================
4143
4144
NEW FEATURES:
4145
4146
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
4147
help with intelligent shell completion.
4148
4149
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
4150
4151
4152
ENHANCEMENTS:
4153
4154
* Much better merge support.
4155
4156
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
4157
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
4158
like emacs smerge.
4159
4160
4161
BUG FIXES:
4162
4163
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
4164
mention revisions that are not present.
4165
4166
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
4167
4168
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
4169
4170
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
4171
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
4172
4173
4174
CHANGES:
4175
4176
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
4177
4178
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
4179
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
4180
--help themselves.
4181
4182
4183
LIBRARY:
4184
4185
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
4186
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
4187
libraries.
4188
4189
4190
4191
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
4192
====================
4193
4194
NEW FEATURES:
4195
4196
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
4197
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
4198
4199
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
4200
4201
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
4202
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
4203
4204
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
4205
FOO.
4206
4207
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
4208
4209
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
4210
the Unix command.
4211
4212
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
4213
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
4214
4215
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
4216
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
4217
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
4218
4219
4220
ENHANCEMENTS:
4221
4222
* Faster working tree operations.
4223
4224
4225
CHANGES:
4226
4227
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
4228
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
4229
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
4230
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
4231
4232
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
4233
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
4234
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
4235
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
4236
standard plugins directory.
4237
4238
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
4239
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
4240
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
4241
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
4242
4243
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
4244
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
4245
4246
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
4247
disk.
4248
4249
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
4250
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
4251
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
4252
4253
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
4254
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
4255
4256
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
4257
line options must come before the command name because they
4258
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
4259
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
4260
it.
4261
4262
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
4263
4264
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
4265
is available with ``--short``.
4266
4267
4268
BUG FIXES:
4269
4270
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
4271
4272
4273
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
4274
=====================
4275
4276
CHANGES:
4277
4278
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
4279
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4280
4281
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
4282
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
4283
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
4284
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
4285
4286
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
4287
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
4288
with the ``--forward`` option.
4289
4290
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
4291
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
4292
field.
4293
2
4294
3
4295
ENHANCEMENTS:
4
4296
5
4297
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
6
4298
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
7
4299
8
* New 'bzr ignore PATTERN' command.
4300
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
9
4301
10
4302
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
11
4303
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
12
4304
4305
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
4306
4307
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
4308
either read or write mode.
4309
4310
* New option ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows revision and file ids.
4311
4312
* New usage ``bzr log FILENAME`` shows only revisions that
4313
affected that file.
4314
4315
* Changed format for describing changes in ``bzr log -v``.
4316
4317
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
4318
suggested by LarstiQ.
4319
4320
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
4321
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
4322
4323
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
4324
a filename.
4325
4326
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
4327
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
4328
4329
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
4330
haven't changed since the previous time.
4331
4332
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
4333
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
4334
4335
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
4336
4337
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
4338
4339
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
4340
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
4341
4342
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
4343
options through to an external GNU diff.
4344
4345
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
4346
their contents.
4347
4348
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
4349
from a branch.
4350
4351
4352
BUG FIXES:
4353
4354
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
4355
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
4356
4357
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
4358
metacharacters.
4359
4360
13
4361
TESTING:
14
4362
15
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python.
16
Various structural improvements to the tests.
4363
* Converted black-box test suites from Bourne shell into Python;
4364
now run using ``./testbzr``. Various structural improvements to
4365
the tests.
4366
4367
* testbzr by default runs the version of bzr found in the same
4368
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
4369
4370
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
4371
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
4372
4373
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
4374
under a different version.
4375
4376
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
4377

21
4382
22
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on
23
mango-sorbet by Scott James Remnant.
4383
* Refactor command functions into Command objects based on HCT by
4384
Scott James Remnant.
24
4385
25
4386
* Better help messages for many commands.
26
4387
4388
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
4389
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
4390
4391
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
4392
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
4393
4394
* Simpler and faster ``compare_inventories()`` function.
4395
4396
* ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` takes a tracefilename parameter.
4397
4398
* New AtomicFile class.
4399
4400
* New developer commands ``added``, ``modified``.
4401
4402
4403
PORTABILITY:
4404
4405
* Cope on Windows on python2.3 by using the weaker random seed.
4406
2.4 is now only recommended.
