NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
11
12
CHANGES:
13
14
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
15
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
16
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
17
18
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
19
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
20
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
21
(Martin Pool)
22
23
FEATURES:
24
25
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
26
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
27
supported transports.
28
(Vincent Ladeuil)
29
30
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
31
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
32
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
33
34
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
35
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
36
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
37
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
38
39
PERFORMANCE:
40
41
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
42
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
43
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
44
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
45
46
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
47
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
48
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
49
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
50
51
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
52
(Robert Collins, #88319)
53
54
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
55
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
56
57
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
58
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
59
60
IMPROVEMENTS:
61
62
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
63
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
64
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
65
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
66
67
DOCUMENTATION:
68
69
BUG FIXES:
70
71
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
72
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
73
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
74
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
75
on them.
76
(Martin Pool, #164637)
77
78
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
79
(Robert Collins, #157789)
80
81
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
82
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
83
84
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
85
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
86
87
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
88
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
89
90
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
91
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
92
93
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
94
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
95
96
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
97
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
98
99
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
100
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
101
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
102
103
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
104
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
105
106
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
107
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
108
109
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
110
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
111
112
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
113
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
114
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
115
116
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
117
(Robert Collins, #161240)
118
119
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
120
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
121
122
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
123
specify a port in urls.
124
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
125
126
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
127
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
128
129
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
130
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
131
132
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
133
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
134
135
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
136
(Robert Collins, #153789)
137
138
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
139
140
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
141
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
142
143
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
144
Watkins, #152811)
145
146
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
147
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
148
149
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
150
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
151
152
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
153
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
154
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
155
156
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
157
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
158
159
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
160
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
161
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
162
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
163
164
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
165
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
166
167
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
168
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
169
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
170
171
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
172
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
173
174
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
175
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
176
177
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
178
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
179
180
API BREAKS:
181
182
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
183
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
184
185
* The return value of
186
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
187
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
188
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
189
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
190
191
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
192
(Robert Collins)
193
194
INTERNALS:
195
196
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
197
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
198
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
199
Bennetts)
200
201
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
202
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
203
204

bzr 0.92rc1 2007-10-29
208
======================
209
210
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
211
212
CHANGES:
213
214
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
215
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
216
217
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
218
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
219
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
220
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
221
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
222
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
223
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
224
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
225
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
226
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
227
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
228
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
229
(Robert Collins)
230
231
FEATURES:
232
233
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
234
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
235
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
236
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
237
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
238
for further details. (Robert Collins)
239
240
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
241
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
242
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
243
(Robert Collins)
244
245
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
246
247
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
248
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
249
250
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
251
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
252
(Aaron Bentley)
253
254
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
255
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
256
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
257
258
PERFORMANCE:
259
260
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
261
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
262
263
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
264
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
265
266
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
267
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
268
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
269
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
270
271
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
272
(Robert Collins)
273
274
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
275
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
276
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
277
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
278
279
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
280
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
281
282
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
283
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
284
285
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
286
the contents. (Robert Collins)
287
288
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
289
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
290
291
IMPROVEMENTS:
292
293
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
294
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
295
296
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
297
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
298
299
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
300
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
301
302
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
303
(Martin Pool, #63894)
304
305
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
306
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
307
308
DOCUMENTATION:
309
310
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
311
312
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
313
(Ian Clatworthy)
314
315
BUG FIXES:
316
317
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
318
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
319
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
320
321
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
322
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
323
324
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
325
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
326
327
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
328
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
329
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
330
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
331
332
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
333
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
334
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
335
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
336
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
337
338
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
339
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
340
paramiko.
341
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
342
343
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
344
345
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
346
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
347
348
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
349
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
350
351
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
352
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
353
354
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
355
contains a symbolic link.
356
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
357
358
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
359
(James Westby, #140615)
360
361
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
362
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
363
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
364
365
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
366
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
367
(Martin Pool, #144633)
368
369
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
370
371
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
372
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
373
374
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
375
will remain opened.
376
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
377
378
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
379
directory to detect leaking tests.
380
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
381
382
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
383
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
384
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
385
386
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
387
(Rob Weir, #141629)
388
389
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
390
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
391
392
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
393
Merwe)
394
395
API BREAKS:
396
397
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
398
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
399
400
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
401
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
402
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
403
404
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
405
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
406
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
407
408
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
409
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
410
411
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
412
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
413
414
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
415
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
416
(Martin Pool)
417
418
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
419
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
420
421
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
422
class that needs it.
423
(Martin Pool)
424
425
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
426
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
427
428
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
429
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
430
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
431
432
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
433
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
434
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
435
(Robert Collins)
436
437
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
438
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
439
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
440
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
441
(Robert Collins)
442
443
INTERNALS:
444
445
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
446
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
447
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
448
449
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
450
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
451
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
452
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
453
454
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
455
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
456
(Robert Collins)
457
458
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
459
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
460
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
461
462
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
463
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
464
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
465
466
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
467
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
468
469
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
470
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
471
to complete. (Robert Collins)
472
473
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
474
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
475
476
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
477
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
478
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
479
480
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
481
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
482
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
483
484
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
485
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
486
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
487
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
488
489
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
490
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
491
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
492
returned. (Robert Collins)
493
494
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
495
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
496
497
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
498
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
499
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
500
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
501
(Robert Collins)
502
503
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
504
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
505
506
TESTING:
507
508
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
509
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
510
511
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
512
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
513
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
514
makes this behavior available to other users.
515
(Martin Pool)
516
517
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
518
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)

bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
522
===================
523
524
BUG FIXES:
525
526
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
527
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
528
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
529
530
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
531
532
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
533
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
534
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
535
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
536
537
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
538
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
539
(Andrew Bennetts)
540
541
542
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
543
======================
544
545
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
546
in bzrlib/remote.py.
547
548
549
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
550
======================
551
552
CHANGES:
553
554
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
555
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
556
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
557
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
558
(Martin Pool)
559
560
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
561
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
562
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
563
(Ian Clatworthy)
564
565
FEATURES:
566
567
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
568
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
569
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
570
(Lukáš Lalinský)
571
572
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
573
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
574
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
575
576
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
577
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
578
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
579
580
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
581
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
582
583
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
584
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
585
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
586
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
587
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
588
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
589
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
590
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
591
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
592
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
593
594
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
595
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
596
597
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
598
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
599
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
600
601
BUG FIXES:
602
603
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
604
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
605
606
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
607
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
608
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
609
610
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
611
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
612
613
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
614
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
615
616
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
617
(Aaron Bentley)
618
619
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
620
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
621
622
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
623
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
624
625
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
626
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
627
628
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
629
(Blake Winton, #129299)
630
631
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
632
633
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
634
Watkins, #106726)
635
636
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
637
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
638
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
639
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
640
641
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
642
643
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
644
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
645
#133548)
646
647
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
648
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
649
650
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
651
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
652
#116143)
653
654
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
655
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
656
657
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
658
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
659
660
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
661
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
662
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
663
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
664
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
665
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
666
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
667
668
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
669
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
670
671
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
672
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
673
674
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
675
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
676
677
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
678
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
679
680
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
681
connections.
682
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
683
684
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
685
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
686
687
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
688
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
689
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
690
691
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
692
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
693
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
694
695
IMPROVEMENTS:
696
697
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
698
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
699
700
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
701
(Aaron Bentley)
702
703
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
704
(Aaron Bentley)
705
706
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
707
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
708
709
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
710
711
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
712
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
713
714
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
715
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
716
717
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
718
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
719
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
720
space). (Robert Collins)
721
722
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
723
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
724
(Ian Clatworthy)
725
726
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
727
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
728
729
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
730
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
731
732
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
733
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
734
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
735
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
736
737
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
738
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
739
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
740
(Lukáš Lalinský)
741
742
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
743
(Ian Clatworthy)
744
745
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
746
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
747
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
748
749
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
750
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
751
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
752
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
753
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
754
755
API BREAKS:
756
757
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
758
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
759
760
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
761
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
762
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
763
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
764
affected. (Robert Collins)
765
766
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
767
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
768
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
769
(Robert Collins)
770
771
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
772
previous release. (Martin Pool)
773
774
TESTING:
775
776
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
777
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
778
779
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
780
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
781
782
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
783
previous release. (Martin Pool)
784
785
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
786
(Aaron Bentley)
787
788
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
789
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
790
791
INTERNALS:
792
793
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
794
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
795
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
796
its version information. (Robert Collins)
797
798
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
799
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
800
801
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
802
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
803
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
804
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
805
806
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
807
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
808
present. (Robert Collins)
809
810
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
811
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
812
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
813
API. (Robert Collins)
814
815
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
816
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
817
(Robert Collins)
818
819
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
820
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
821
822
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
823
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
824
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
825
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
826
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
827
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
828
829
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
830
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
831
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
832
833
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
834
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
835
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
836
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
837
protocol.
838
839
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
840
(Aaron Bentley)
841
842
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
843
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
844
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
845
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
846
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
847
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
848
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
849
850
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
851
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
852
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
853
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
854
855
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
856
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
857
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
858
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
859
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
860
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
861
862
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
863
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
864
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
865
866
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
867
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
868
869
870
bzr 0.90 2007-08-28
871
===================
872
873
IMPROVEMENTS:
874
875
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
876
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
877
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
878
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
879
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
880
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
881
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
882
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
883
884
885
API CHANGES:
886
887
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
888
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
889
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
890
891
892
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
893
======================
894
895
BUGFIXES:
896
897
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
898
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
899
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
900
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
901
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
902
903
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
904
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
905
906
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
907
anymore.
908
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
909
910
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
911
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
912
(Vincent Ladeuil)
913
914
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
915
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
916
#111664)
917
918
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
919
(Lukáš Lalinský)
920
921
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
922
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
923
924
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
925
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
926
927
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
928
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
929
930
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
931
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
932
933
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
934
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
935
936
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
937
(Aaron Bentley)
938
939
IMPROVEMENTS:
940
941
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
942
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
943
944
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
945
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
946
947
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
948
the repository (Robert Collins)
949
950
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
951
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
952
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
953
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
954
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
955
956
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
957
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
958
959
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
960
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
961
(John Arbash Meinel)
962
963
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
964
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
965
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
966
about 10%).
967
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
968
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
969
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
970
(John Arbash Meinel)
971
972
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
973
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
974
(Robert Collins)
975
976
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
977
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
978
979
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
980
(Ian Clatworthy)
981
982
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
983
984
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
985
986
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
987
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
988
989
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
990
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
991
Meinel)
992
993
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
994
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
995
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
996
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
997
998
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
999
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
1000
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
1001
1002
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
1003
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
1004
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
1005
1006
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
1007
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
1008
1009
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
1010
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
1011
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
1012
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
1013
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
1014
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
1015
(Ian Clatworthy)
1016
1017
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
1018
(Alexander Belchenko)
1019
1020
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
1021
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
1022
1023
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
1024
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
1025
1026
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
1027
1028
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
1029
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
1030
1031
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
1032
1033
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
1034
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
1035
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
1036
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
1037
1038
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
1039
1040
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
1041
(Robert Collins)
1042
1043
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
1044
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
1045
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
1046
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
1047
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
1048
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
1049
1050
INTERNALS:
1051
1052
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
1053
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
1054
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
1055
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
1056
1057
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
1058
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
1059
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
1060
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
1061
tests have been refactored too.
1062
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1063
1064
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
1065
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
1066
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
1067
list, it will.
1068
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1069
1070
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
1071
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
1072
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1073
1074
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
1075
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
1076
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
1077
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
1078
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
1079
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
1080
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
1081
1082
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
1083
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
1084
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
1085
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
1086
(John Arbash Meinel)
1087
1088
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
1089
functionality for testing.
1090
1091
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
1092
1093
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
1094
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1095
1096
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
1097
1098
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
1099
(Robert Collins)
1100
1101
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
1102
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
1103
1104
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
1105
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
1106
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
1107
1108
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
1109
(Aaron Bentley)
1110
1111
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
1112
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
1113
1114
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
1115
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
1116
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
1117
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
1118
1119
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
1120
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
1121
1122
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
1123
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
1124
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
1125
1126
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
1127
(Marius Kruger)
1128
1129
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
1130
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
1131
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
1132
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
1133
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
1134
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
1135
1136
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
1137
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
1138
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
1139
many files. (Robert Collins)
1140
1141
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
1142
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
1143
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
1144
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
1145
1146
TESTING:
1147
1148
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
1149
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
1150
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
1151
1152
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
1153
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
1154
1155
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
1156
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
1157
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

1161
====================
1162
1163
BUGFIXES:
1164
1165
* Fix 'bzr add' crash under Win32 (Kuno Meyer)
1166
1167
1168
bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
1169
=======================
1170
1171
BUGFIXES:
1172
1173
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
1174
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
1175
1176
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
1177
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
1178
(James Westby, #122656)
1179
1180
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
1181
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
1182
1183
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
1184
authentication header.
1185
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
1186
1187
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
1188
1189
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
1190
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
1191
1192
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
1193
1194
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
1195
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
1196
1197
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
1198
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
1199
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
1200
1201
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
1202
individually and as part of revision ranges.
1203
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
1204
1205
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
1206
(Martin Pool, #109169)
1207
1208
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
1209
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
1210
1211
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
1212
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
1213
1214
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1215
1216
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
1217
1218
IMPROVEMENTS:
1219
1220
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
1221
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
1222
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
1223
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
1224
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
1225
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
1226
1227
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
1228
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
1229
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
1230
1231
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
1232
(Elliot Murphy)
1233
1234
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
1235
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
1236
1237
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
1238
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
1239
1240
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
1241
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
1242
1243
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
1244
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
1245
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
1246
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
1247
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
1248
1249
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
1250
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
1251
1252
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
1253
can be slow it is useful feedback).
1254
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
1255
1256
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
1257
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
1258
1259
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
1260
1261
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
1262
output. (Aaron Bentley)
1263
1264
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
1265
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
1266
(Robert Collins)
1267
1268
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
1269
(Martin Pool)
1270
1271
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
1272
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
1273
1274
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
1275
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
1276
1277
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
1278
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
1279
1280
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
1281
1282
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
1283
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
1284
1285
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
1286
(Andrew Bennetts)
1287
1288
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
1289
1290
* Testing cleanups -
1291
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1292
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
1293
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1294
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
1295
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1296
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
1297
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1298
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
1299
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1300
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
1301
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
1302
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
1303
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1304
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
1305
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1306
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
1307
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
1308
(Robert Collins)
1309
1310
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
1311
1312
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
1313
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
1314
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
1315
1316
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
1317
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
1318
1319
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
1320
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1321
1322
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
1323
1324
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
1325
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
1326
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
1327
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
1328
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
1329
same location. (Robert Collins)
1330
1331
INTERNALS:
1332
1333
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
1334
1335
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
1336
1337
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
1338
1339
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
1340
(Martin Pool)
1341
1342
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
1343
(Martin Pool)
1344
1345
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
1346
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
1347
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
1348
1349
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
1350
1351
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
1352
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
1353
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
1354
1355
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
1356
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
1357
1358
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
1359
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
1360
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
1361
1362
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
1363
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
1364
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
1365
1366
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
1367
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
1368
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
1369
1370
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
1371
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
1372
Martin Pool)
1373
1374
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
1375
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
1376
1377
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
1378
(Alexander Belchenko)
1379
1380
TESTING:
1381
1382
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
1383
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
1384
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
1385
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1386
1387
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
1388
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
1389
testing. (Robert Collins)
1390
1391
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
1392
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
1393
1394
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
1395
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
1396
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
1397
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
1398
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
1399
attribute during the test parameterisation in
1400
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
1401
1402
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
1403
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
1404
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
1405
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
1406
1407
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
1408
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
1409
1410
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
1411
avoid useless cloning.

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

1430
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1431
1432
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
1433
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
1434
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
1435
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
1436
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
1437
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
1438
and unlock() like so::
1439
1440
work_tree.lock_read()
1441
try:
1442
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
1443
finally:
1444
work_tree.unlock()
1445
1446
INTERNALS:
1447
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
1448
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
1449
object.
1450
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
1451
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
1452
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
1453
1454
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
1455
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
1456
too. (Robert Collins)
1457
1458
IMPROVEMENTS:
1459
1460
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
1461
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
1462
Aaron Bentley)
1463
1464
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
1465
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
1466
1467
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
1468
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
1469
1470
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
1471
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
1472
understanding what changes have occurred
1473
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
1474
1475
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
1476
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
1477
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1478
1479
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
1480
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
1481
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
1482
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
1483
1484
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
1485
#56322)
1486
1487
BUGFIXES:
1488
1489
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
1490
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
1491
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
1492
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
1493
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
1494
1495
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
1496
based on split paths, not just string paths.
1497
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
1498
1499
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
1500
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
1501
1502
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
1503
into account.
1504
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
1505
1506
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
1507
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
1508
1509
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
1510
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
1511
1512
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
1513
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
1514
1515
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
1516
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
1517
1518
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
1519
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
1520
1521
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
1522
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
1523
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

1526
====================
1527
1528
BUGFIXES:
1529
1530
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
1531
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
1532
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
1533
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
1534
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
1535
1536
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
1537
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
1538
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
1539
1540
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
1541
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
1542
1543
IMPROVEMENTS:
1544
1545
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
1546
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
1547
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
1548
1549
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
1550
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
1551
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
1552
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

1555
=======================
1556
1557
BUGFIXES:
1558
1559
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
1560
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
1561
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
1562
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
1563
1564
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
1565
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
1566
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
1567
1568
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
1569
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
1570
1571
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
1572
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
1573
1574
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
1575
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

1577
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
1578
=======================
1579
1580
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1581
1582
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
1583
it could be recovered again.
1584
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
1585
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
1586
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
1587
but not delete it.
1588
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
1589
files.
1590
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
1591
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
1592
1593
IMPROVEMENTS:
1594
1595
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
1596
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
1597
1598
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
1599
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
1600
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
1601
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
1602
1603
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
1604
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
1605
1606
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
1607
tests with names that match that regular expression.
1608
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
1609
1610
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
1611
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
1612
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
1613
1614
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
1615
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
1616
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
1617
1618
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
1619
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
1620
Robert Collins)
1621
1622
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
1623
Pool)
1624
1625
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
1626
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
1627
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
1628
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
1629
1630
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
1631
(Robert Collins)
1632
1633
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
1634
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
1635
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
1636
(Robert Collins)
1637
1638
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
1639
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
1640
1641
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
1642
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
1643
1644
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
1645
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
1646
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
1647
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
1648
(Robert Collins)
1649
1650
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
1651
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
1652
1653
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
1654
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
1655
1656
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
1657
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
1658
(Robert Collins, #107125).
1659
1660
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
1661
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
1662
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
1663
1664
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
1665
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
1666
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1667
1668
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
1669
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
1670
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
1671
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
1672
1673
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
1674
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
1675
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
1676
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
1677
1678
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
1679
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
1680
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
1681
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
1682
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
1683
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
1684
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
1685
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
1686
header(s).
1687
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1688
1689
INTERNALS:
1690
1691
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
1692
code paths. (Robert Collins)
1693
1694
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
1695
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
1696
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
1697
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
1698
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1699
1700
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
1701
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
1702
1703
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
1704
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
1705
1706
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
1707
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
1708
1709
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
1710
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
1711
1712
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
1713
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
1714
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
1715
(Robert Collins).
1716
1717
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
1718
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
1719
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
1720
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
1721
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
1722
(Robert Collins)
1723
1724
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
1725
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
1726
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
1727
1728
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
1729
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
1730
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1731
1732
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
1733
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
1734
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
1735
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1736
1737
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
1738
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
1739
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
1740
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
1741
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
1742
1743
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
1744
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
1745
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
1746
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1747
1748
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
1749
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1750
1751
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
1752
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
1753
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
1754
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
1755
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
1756
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
1757
1758
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
1759
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
1760
1761
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
1762
help. (Robert Collins)
1763
1764
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
1765
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1766
1767
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
1768
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
1769
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
1770
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
1771
(John Arbash Meinel)
1772
1773
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
1774
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
1775
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
1776
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
1777
useful. (Robert Collins)
1778
1779
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
1780
(Andrew Bennetts)
1781
1782
BUGFIXES:
1783
1784
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
1785
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
1786
1787
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
1788
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
1789
1790
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
1791
properly and is no longer beneficial.
1792
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
1793
1794
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
1795
(Aaron Bentley)
1796
1797
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
1798
the file, and does it faster.
1799
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
1800
1801
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
1802
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
1803
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
1804
1805
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
1806
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
1807
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
1808
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
1809
1810
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
1811
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
1812
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
1813
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
1814
1815
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
1816
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
1817
1818
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
1819
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
1820
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
1821
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
1822
Arbash Meinel)
1823
1824
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
1825
1826
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
1827
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))

1829
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
1830
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
1831
1832
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
1833
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
1834
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
1835
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
1836
security hole.
1837
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1838
1839
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
1840
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
1841
1842
TESTING:
1843
1844
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
1845
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
1846
in running it. (Robert Collins)
1847
1848
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
1849
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
1850
1851
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
1852
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
1853
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
1854
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
1855
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
1856
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
1857
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
1858
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1859
1860
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
1861
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
1862
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1863
1864
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
1865
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
1866
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
1867
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
1868
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
1869
access.
1870
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1871
1872
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
1873
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
1874
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1875
1876
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
1877
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

CHANGES:
1896
1897
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
1898
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
1899
(Martin Pool)
1900
1901
IMPROVEMENTS:
1902
1903
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
1904
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
1905
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
1906
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
1907
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
1908
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
1909
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
1910
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
1911
path. (vila)
1912
1913
INTERNALS:
1914
1915
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
1916
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
1917
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
1918
1919
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
1920
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
1921
(Martin Pool)
1922
1923
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
1924
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
1925
(John Arbash Meinel)
1926
1927
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
1928
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
1929
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
1930
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
1931
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
1932
1933
BUGFIXES:
1934
1935
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
1936
(vila, #92195)
1937
1938
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
1939
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
1940
1941
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
1942
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
1943
1944
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
1945
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
1946
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
1947
1948
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
1949
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
1950
1951
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
1952
last-changed-revision for directories. The
1953
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
1954
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
1955
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
1956
1957
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
1958
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
1959
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
1960
1961
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

1965
=======================
1966
1967
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1968
1969
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
1970
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
1971
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
1972
1973
IMPROVEMENTS:
1974
1975
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
1976
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
1977
1978
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
1979
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
1980
1981
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1982
1983
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
1984
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
1985
1986
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
1987
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
1988
1989
INTERNALS:
1990
1991
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
1992
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
1993
1994
BUGFIXES:
1995
1996
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
1997
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
1998
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
1999
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
2000
2001
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
2002
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
2003
2004
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
2005
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
2006
2007
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
2008
(Marien Zwart)
2009
2010
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
2015
=======================
2016
2017
SURPRISES:
2018
2019
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
2020
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
2021
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
2022
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
2023
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
2024
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
2025
2026
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
2027
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
2028
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
2029
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
2030
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
2031
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
2032
development.
2033
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2034
2035
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
2036
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
2037
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
2038
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
2039
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
2040
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
2041
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
2042
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2043
2044
IMPROVEMENTS:
2045
2046
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
2047
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
2048
2049
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
2050
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
2051
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
2052
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
2053
does exist.
2054
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
2055
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
2056
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
2057
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
2058
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
2059
2060
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
2061
(Aaron Bentley)
2062
2063
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
2064
(Aaron Bentley)
2065
2066
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
2067
(Robert Collins)
2068
2069
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
2070
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
2071
(Aaron Bentley)
2072
2073
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
2074
(Aaron Bentley)
2075
2076
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
2077
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
2078
2079
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
2080
directory. (Martin Pool)
2081
2082
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
2083
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
2084
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
2085
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
2086
2087
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
2088
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
2089
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
2090
in docs/configuration.txt.
2091
2092
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
2093
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
2094
bind location.
2095
2096
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
2097
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
2098
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
2099
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
2100
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
2101
repositories. (Martin Pool)
2102
2103
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
2104
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2105
2106
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
2107
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
2108
2109
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
2110
(Aaron Bentley)
2111
2112
INTERNALS:
2113
2114
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
2115
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
2116
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
2117
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
2118
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
2119
(John Arbash Meinel)
2120
2121
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
2122
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
2123
(Aaron Bentley)
2124
2125
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
2126
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
2127
(John Arbash Meinel)
2128
2129
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
2130
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
2131
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
2132
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
2133
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
2134
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
2135
2136
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
2137
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
2138
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
2139
2140
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
2141
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
2142
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
2143
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
2144
repository.
2145
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2146
2147
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
2148
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
2149
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
2150
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
2151
2152
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
2153
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
2154
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
2155
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
2156
2157
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
2158
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
2159
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
2160
2161
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
2162
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
2163
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
2164
2165
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
2166
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
2167
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
2168
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
2169
2170
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
2171
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
2172
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
2173
2174
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
2175
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
2176
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
2177
2178
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
2179
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
2180
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
2181
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
2182
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
2183
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
2184
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
2185
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
2186
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
2187
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
2188
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
2189
2190
BUGFIXES:
2191
2192
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
2193
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
2194
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
2195
2196
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
2197
(Aaron Bentley)
2198
2199
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
2200
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
2201
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
2202
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
2203
2204
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
2205
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
2206
#83954).
2207
2208
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
2209
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
2210
2211
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
2212
2213
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
2214
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
2215
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
2216
2217
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
2218
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
2219
2220
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
2221
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
2222
2223
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
2224
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
2225
2226
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
2227
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
2228
2229
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
2230
2231
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
2232
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
2233
2234
TESTING:
2235
2236
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
2237
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

====================
2242
2243
IMPROVEMENTS:
2244
2245
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
2246
2247
BUG FIXES:
2248
2249
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
2250
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
2251
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
2252
2253
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
2254
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
2255
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

2258
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
2259
=======================
2260
2261
IMPROVEMENTS:
2262
2263
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
2264
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
2265
server, then you can write over the http connection.
2266
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2267
2268
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
2269
(Marius Kruger)
2270
2271
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
2272
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
2273
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2274
2275
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
2276
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
2277
2278
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
2279
(Aaron Bentley)
2280
2281
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
2282
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
2283
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
2284
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
2285
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
2286
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
2287
2288
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
2289
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
2290
should enable you to do::
2291
2292
[/home/user/project]
2293
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
2294
push_location:policy = appendpath
2295
2296
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
2297
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
2298
(James Henstridge)
2299
2300
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
2301
for each file. For example::
2302
2303
$ bzr status --short
2304
A foo
2305
A bar
2306
D baz
2307
? wooley
2308
2309
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
2310
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
2311
2312
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
2313
2314
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
2315
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
2316
2317
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
2318
2319
INTERNALS:
2320
2321
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
2322
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
2323
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
2324
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
2325
2326
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
2327
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
2328
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
2329
2330
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2331
2332
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
2333
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
2334
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
2335
(Alexander Belchenko)
2336
2337
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
2338
Pool)
2339
2340
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
2341
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
2342
2343
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
2344
2345
BUG FIXES:
2346
2347
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
2348
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
2349
2350
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
2351
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
2352
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
2353
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
2354
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
2355
2356
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
2357
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
2358
2359
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
2360
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
2361
2362
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
2363
matcher.
2364
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
2365
2366
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
2367
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
2368
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
2369
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
2370
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
2371
2372
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
2373
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
2374
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
2375
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
2376
2377
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
2378
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
2379
2380
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
2381
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
2382
2383
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
2384
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
2385
2386
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

IMPROVEMENTS:
2399
2400
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
2401
tree from a branch.
2402
(Daniel Silverstone)
2403
2404
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
2405
operations are substantially faster.
2406
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
2407
2408
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
2409
tree from some other url. For example:
2410
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
2411
(Daniel Silverstone)
2412
2413
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
2414
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
2415
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
2416
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
2417
2418
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
2419
(Andrew Bennetts)
2420
2421
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
2422
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
2423
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
2424
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
2425
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
2426
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
2427
2428
INTERNALS:
2429
2430
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
2431
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
2432
(Martin Pool)
2433
2434
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2435
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2436
(John Arbash Meinel)
2437
2438
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
2439
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
2440
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
2441
(John Arbash Meinel)
2442
2443
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
2444
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
2445
2446
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
2447
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2448
2449
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
2450
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
2451
Bennetts)
2452
2453
BUG FIXES:
2454
2455
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
2456
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
2457
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
2458
2459
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
2460
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
2461
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
2462
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
2463
2464
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
2465
2466
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
2467
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
2468
2469
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
2470
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
2471
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
2472
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
2473
2474
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
2475
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
2476
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
2477
2478
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
2479
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
2480
them as full references rather than integers.
2481
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
2482
2483
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
2484
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
2485
2486
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
2487
2488
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
2489
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
2490
2491
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
2492
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
2493
2494
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
2495
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
2496
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
2497
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
2498
2499
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
2500
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
2501
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
2502
2503
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
2504
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
2505
2506
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
2507
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
2508
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
2509
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
2510
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
2511
2512
TESTING:
2513
2514
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
2515
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

2518
====================
2519
2520
INTERNALS:
2521
2522
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,

and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2524
(John Arbash Meinel)
2525
2526
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
2527
=======================
2528
2529
IMPROVEMENTS:
2530
2531
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
2532
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
2533
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
2534
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
2535
2536
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
2537
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
2538
2539
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
2540
2541
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
2542
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
2543
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
2544
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2545
2546
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
2547
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
2548
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
2549
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
2550
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
2551
2552
API INCOMPATABILITY:
2553
2554
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
2555
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
2556
2557
INTERNALS:
2558
2559
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
2560
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
2561
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2562
2563
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
2564
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
2565
(John Arbash Meinel)
2566
2567
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
2568
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
2569
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
2570
2571
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
2572
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
2573
(Aaron Bentley)
2574
2575
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
2576
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
2577
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2578
2579
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
2580
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
2581
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
2582
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
2583
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
2584
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2585
2586
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
2587
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
2588
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
2589
(Robert Collins)
2590
2591
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
2592
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
2593
2594
BUG FIXES:
2595
2596
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
2597
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
2598
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
2599
#63360, #66349)
2600
2601
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
2602
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
2603
2604
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
2605
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
2606
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
2607
2608
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
2609
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
2610
2611
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
2612
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
2613
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
2614
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
2615
2616
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
2617
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
2618
2619
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
2620
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
2621
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
2622
2623
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
2624
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
2625
2626
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2627
2628
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
2629
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
2630
#32054)
2631
2632
TESTING:
2633
2634
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
2635
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
2636
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
2637
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
2638
2639
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
2640
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
2641
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2642
2643
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

2653
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).

2658
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
2659
=======================
2660
2661
IMPROVEMENTS:
2662
2663
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
2664
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
2665
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
2666
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
2667
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
2668
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
2669
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
2670
2671
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
2672
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
2673
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
2674
2675
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
2676
2677
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
2678
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
2679
2680
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
2681
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
2682
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
2683
(Robert Collins)
2684
2685
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
2686
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
2687
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
2688
(John Arbash Meinel)
2689
2690
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
2691
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
2692
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
2693
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
2694
Pool)
2695
2696
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
2697
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
2698
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
2699
(John Arbash Meinel)
2700
2701
BUG FIXES:
2702
2703
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
2704
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
2705
2706
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
2707
2708
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
2709
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
2710
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
2711
2712
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
2713
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
2714
2715
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
2716
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
2717
2718
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
2719
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
2720
2721
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
2722
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
2723
2724
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
2725
2726
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
2727
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
2728
2729
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
2730
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
2731
2732
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
2733
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
2734
2735
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
2736
(John Arbash Meinel)
2737
2738
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
2739
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
2740
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
2741
2742
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
2743
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2744
2745
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
2746
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
2747
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
2748
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
2749
2750
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
2751
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
2752
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
2753
2754
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
2755
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
2756
2757
PORTABILITY:
2758
2759
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
2760
2761
INTERNALS:
2762
2763
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
2764
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
2765
(John Arbash Meinel)
2766
2767
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
2768
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
2769
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
2770
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2771
2772
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
2773
(Andrew Bennetts)
2774
2775
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
2776
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
2777
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
2778
2779
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
2780
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
2781
2782
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
2783
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
2784
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
2785
2786
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
2787
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
2788
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
2789
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
2790
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
2791
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
2792
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
2793
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
2794
caller to repeat their request.
2795
(John Arbash Meinel)
2796
2797
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
2798
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
2799
2800
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
2801
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
2802
2803
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
2804
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
2805
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
2806
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
2807
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
2808
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
2809
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
2810
2811
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
2812
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
2813
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
2814
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
2815
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
2816
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
2817
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
2818
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
2819
(Robert Collins)
2820
2821
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
2822
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
2823
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
2824
2825
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
2826
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
2827
2828
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
2829
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
2830
2831
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
2832
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2833
2834
TESTING:
2835
2836
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
2837
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
2838
2839
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
2840
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
2841
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2842
2843
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
2844
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
2845
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2846
2847
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
2848
====================
2849
2850
IMPROVEMENTS:
2851
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
2852
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
2853
2854
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
2855
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
2856
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
2857
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
2858
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
2859
2860
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
2861
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
2862
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
2863
2864
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
2865
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
2866
2867
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
2868
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
2869
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2870
2871
BUG FIXES:
2872
2873
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
2874
2875
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
2876
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
2877
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
2878
2879
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
2880
2881
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
2882
2883
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
2884
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
2885
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
2886
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
2887
2888
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
2889
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
2890
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
2891
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
2892
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
2893
2894
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
2895
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
2896
2897
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
2898
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
2899
2900
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
2901
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
2902
2903
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
2904
in handling of revision properties.
2905
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
2906
2907
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
2908
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
2909
2910
INTERNALS:
2911
2912
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
2913
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
2914
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
2915
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
2916
(John Arbash Meinel)
2917
2918
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
2919
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
2920
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
2921
2922
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
2923
=====================
2924
2925
SURPRISES:
2926
2927
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
2928
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
2929
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
2930
specific one '.bzrignore'.
2931
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
2932
a more conservative list than the old default.
2933
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
2934
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
2935
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
2936
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
2937
2938
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
2939
to more locations than just branch locations.
2940
(Aaron Bentley)
2941
2942
IMPROVEMENTS:
2943
2944
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
2945
revno:N:branch. For example,
2946
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
2947
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
2948
2949
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
2950
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
2951
the path of a file that has been versioned.
2952
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
2953
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
2954
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
2955
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
2956
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
2957
#42517, #42514)
2958
2959
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
2960
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
2961
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
2962
(Malone #3507)
2963
2964
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
2965
(Alexander Belchenko)
2966
2967
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
2968
2969
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
2970
(Robert Collins).
2971
2972
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
2973
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
2974
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
2975
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
2976
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
2977
(John Arbash Meinel)
2978
2979
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
2980
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
2981
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
2982
grained analysis of performance.
2983
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2984
2985
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
2986
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
2987
2988
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
2989
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
2990
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
2991
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
2992
file. (Robert Collins).
2993
2994
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
2995
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
2996
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
2997
2998
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
2999
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
3000
Matthieu Moy)
3001
3002
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
3003
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
3004
3005
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
3006
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
3007
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
3008
the same way you would apply another branch.
3009
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
3010
3011
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
3012
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
3013
3014
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
3015
(Michael Ellerman)
3016
3017
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
3018
(Aaron Bentley)
3019
3020
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
3021
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
3022
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
3023
3024
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
3025
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
3026
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
3027
3028
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
3029
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
3030
3031
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
3032
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
3033
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
3034
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
3035
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
3036
3037
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
3038
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
3039
3040
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
3041
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
3042
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
3043
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
3044
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
3045
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
3046
branch is as much as 4x faster.
3047
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
3048
3049
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
3050
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
3051
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
3052
3053
BUG FIXES:
3054
3055
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
3056
tests not to run.
3057
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
3058
3059
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
3060
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3061
3062
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
3063
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
3064
3065
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
3066
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
3067
3068
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
3069
3070
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
3071
(John Arbash Meinel)
3072
3073
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
3074
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
3075
3076
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
3077
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
3078
and y.
3079
3080
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
3081
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
3082
3083
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
3084
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
3085
3086
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
3087
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
3088
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
3089
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
3090
3091
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
3092
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
3093
3094
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
3095
3096
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
3097
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
3098
3099
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
3100
3101
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
3102
3103
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
3104
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
3105
3106
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
3107
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
3108
3109
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
3110
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
3111
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
3112
3113
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
3114
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
3115
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
3116
3117
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
3118
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
3119
3120
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
3121
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
3122
3123
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
3124
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
3125
3126
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
3127
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
3128
3129
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
3130
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
3131
3132
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
3133
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
3134
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
3135
3136
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
3137
3138
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
3139
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
3140
3141
INTERNALS:
3142
3143
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
3144
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
3145
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
3146
3147
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
3148
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
3149
3150
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
3151
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
3152
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3153
3154
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
3155
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3156
3157
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
3158
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
3159
(Martin Pool)
3160
3161
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
3162
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
3163
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3164
3165
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
3166
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
3167
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3168
3169
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
3170
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
3171
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
3172
3173
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
3174
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
3175
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
3176
3177
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
3178
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
3179
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
3180
3181
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
3182
instead. (Robert Collins)
3183
3184
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

CHANGES:
3218
3219
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
3220

3222
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
3223
3224
NEW FEATURES:
3225
3226
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into

3241
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
3242
===================
3243
3244
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3245
3246
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
3247
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
3248
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
3249
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
3250
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
3251
will keep the same format.
3252
3253
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
3254
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
3255
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
3256
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
3257
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
3258
3259
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
3260
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
3261
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
3262
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
3263
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
3264
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
3265
indicating the current revision of the branch.
3266
3267
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
3268
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
3269
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
3270
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
3271
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
3272
3273
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
3274
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
3275
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
3276
arrangement.
3277
3278
3279
IMPROVEMENTS:
3280
3281
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
3282
convention. Paths now take the form::
3283
3284
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
3285
or
3286
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
3287
3288
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
3289
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
3290
3291
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
3292
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
3293
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
3294
3295
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
3296
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
3297
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
3298
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
3299
3300
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
3301
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
3302
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
3303
3304
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
3305
3306
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
3307
3308
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
3309
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
3310
commits::
3311
3312
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
3313
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
3314
| xargs bzr re-sign
3315
3316
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
3317
3318
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
3319
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
3320
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
3321
(Robert Collins)
3322
3323
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
3324
3325
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
3326
3327
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
3328
'.moved'.
3329
3330
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
3331
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
3332
3333
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
3334
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
3335
Daniel Silverstone)
3336
3337
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
3338
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
3339
Martin Pool)
3340
3341
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
3342
3343
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
3344
3345
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
3346
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
3347
3348
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
3349
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
3350
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
3351
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
3352
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
3353
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
3354
3355
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
3356
3357
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
3358
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
3359
(Robert Collins)
3360
3361
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
3362
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
3363
3364
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
3365
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
3366
3367
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
3368
3369
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
3370
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
3371
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
3372
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
3373
specification by Martin Pool.
3374
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
3375
3376
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
3377
Belchenko)
3378
3379
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
3380
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3381
3382
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
3383
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
3384
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
3385
3386
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
3387
3388
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
3389
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
3390
(Robert Collins)
3391
3392
CHANGES:
3393
3394
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
3395
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3396
3397
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
3398
3399
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
3400
3401
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
3402
(Olaf Conradi)
3403
3404
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
3405
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
3406
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
3407
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
3408
3409
INTERNALS:
3410
3411
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
3412
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
3413
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
3414
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3415
3416
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
3417
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
3418
tried. (Martin Pool)
3419
3420
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
3421
(Martin Pool)
3422
3423
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
3424
3425
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
3426
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
3427
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
3428
3429
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
3430
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
3431
3432
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
3433
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
3434
paths. (Robert Collins)
3435
3436
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
3437
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
3438
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
3439
3440
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
3441
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
3442
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
3443
3444
* Progress bars are now nested - see
3445
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
3446
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3447
3448
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
3449
(Olaf Conradi)
3450
3451
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
3452
(Olaf Conradi)
3453
3454
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
3455
3456
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
3457
3458
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
3459
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
3460
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
3461
(Robert Collins)
3462
3463
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
3464
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
3465
3466
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
3467
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
3468
check. (Robert Collins)
3469
3470
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
3471
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
3472
3473
TESTING:
3474
3475
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
3476
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
3477
3478
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
3479
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
3480
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
3481
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
3482
3483
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
3484
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
3485
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
3486
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
3487
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
3488
3489
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
3490
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
3491
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
3492
3493
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
3494
3495
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
3496
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
3497
3498
bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
3499
==================
3500
3501
CHANGES:
3502
3503
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
3504
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
3505
3506
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
3507
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
3508
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
3509
(Johan Rydberg)
3510
3511
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
3512
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
3513
3514
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
3515
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
3516
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
3517
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
3518
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
3519
3520
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
3521
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
3522
used. (Robert Collins)
3523
3524
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
3525
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
3526
(James Henstridge)
3527
3528
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
3529
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
3530
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
3531
3532
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
3533
ignore list.
3534
3535
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
3536
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
3537
3538
IMPROVEMENTS:
3539
3540
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
3541
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
3542
3543
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
3544
3545
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
3546
3547
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
3548
tree. (Robert Collins)
3549
3550
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
3551
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
3552
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
3553
(Robert Collins)
3554
3555
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
3556
that they be kept.
3557
3558
* Tweaks to short log printing
3559
3560
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
3561
(Aaron Bentley)
3562
3563
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
3564
occurs. (Martin Pool)
3565
3566
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
3567
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
3568
3569
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
3570
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
3571
3572
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
3573
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
3574
settings. (Magnus Therning)
3575
3576
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
3577
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3578
3579
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
3580
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
3581
requests.
3582
3583
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
3584
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
3585
3586
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
3587
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
3588
3589
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
3590
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
3591
3592
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
3593
(Denys Duchier)
3594
3595
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
3596
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
3597
3598
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
3599
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
3600
3601
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
3602
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
3603
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
3604
3605
BUG FIXES:
3606
3607
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
3608
3609
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3610
3611
* Error when run with -OO
3612
3613
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
3614
(Martin Pool)
3615
3616
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
3617
3618
* Change status to 3 for all errors
3619
3620
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
3621
ignored by diff and status
3622
3623
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
3624
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
3625
3626
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
3627
3628
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
3629
3630
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
3631
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
3632
3633
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
3634
email address. (Marien Zwart)
3635
3636
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
3637
(Harald Meland)
3638
3639
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
3640
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3641
3642
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
3643
3644
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
3645
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
3646
3647
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
3648
(Martin Pool)
3649
3650
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
3651
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
3652
3653
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
3654
3655
TESTING:
3656
3657
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
3658
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
3659
3660
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
3661
3662
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3663
3664
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
3665
3666
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
3667
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
3668
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
3669
3670
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
3671
3672
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
3673
(John Arbash Meinel)
3674
3675
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
3676
3677
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
3678
If adding a new test script please add that to
3679
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
3680
3681
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
3682
imported. (Martin Pool)
3683
3684
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
3685
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
3686
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
3687
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
3688
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
3689
(Robert Collins)
3690
3691
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
3692
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
3693
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
3694
3695
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
3696
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
3697
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3698
3699
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
3700
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
3701
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
3702
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
3703
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
3704
(Robert Collins).
3705
3706
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
3707
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
3708
(Robert Collins).
3709
3710
INTERNALS:
3711
3712
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
3713
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
3714
3715
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
3716
function. (Robert Collins)
3717
3718
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
3719
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
3720
if needed). (Robert Collins)
3721
3722
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
3723
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
3724
(Robert Collins)
3725
3726
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
3727
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
3728
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
3729
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
3730
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
3731
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
3732
version. (Robert Collins)
3733
3734
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
3735
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
3736
3737
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
3738
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
3739
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
3740
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
3741
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
3742
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
3743
3744
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
3745
(Robert Collins)
3746
3747
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
3748
3749
add()
3750
commit()
3751
move()
3752
rename_one()
3753
unknowns()
3754
3755
(Robert Collins)
3756
3757
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
3758
3759
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
3760
3761
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
3762
Pool)
3763
3764
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
3765
query method. (Robert Collins)
3766
3767
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
3768
(Denys Duchier)
3769
3770
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
3771
(Michael Ellerman)
3772
3773
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
3774
(Michael Ellerman)
3775
3776
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
3777
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
3778
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
3779
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
3780
3781
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
3782
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
3783
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
3784
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
3785
3786
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
3787
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
3788

bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
3790
==================
3791
3792
IMPROVEMENTS:
3793
3794
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
3795
(John A Meinel)
3796
3797
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
3798
conflicts.
3799
(Aaron Bentley)
3800
3801
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
3802
a separator, not ':'.
3803
(Aaron Bentley)
3804
3805
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
3806
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
3807
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
3808
3809
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
3810
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
3811
(Robert Collins)
3812
3813
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
3814
has been added that suppresses all output.
3815
3816
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
3817
Adams.
3818
3819
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
3820
Goffredo Baroncelli.
3821
3822
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
3823
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
3824
3825
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
3826
a revision. (Robert Collins)
3827
3828
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
3829
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
3830
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
3831
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
3832
3833
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
3834
3835
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
3836
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
3837
3838
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
3839
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
3840
3841
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
3842
output directory, if one was supplied.
3843
3844
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
3845
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
3846
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
3847
parameters. (Robert Collins)
3848
3849
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
3850
3851
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
3852
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
3853
3854
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
3855
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
3856
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
3857
3858
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
3859
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
3860
3861
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
3862
(Aaron Bentley)
3863
3864
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
3865
3866
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
3867
3868
TESTING:
3869
3870
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
3871
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
3872
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
3873
3874
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
3875
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
3876
related questions. (Robert Collins)
3877
3878
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
3879
is given. (Martin Pool)
3880
3881
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
3882
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
3883
file. (Robert Collins)
3884
3885
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
3886
(Martin Pool)
3887
3888
INTERNALS:
3889
3890
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
3891
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
3892
representation. (Martin Pool).
3893
3894
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
3895
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
3896
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
3897
3898
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3899
(Robert Collins)
3900
3901
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
3902
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
3903
Magnus Therning.
3904
3905
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3906
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
3907
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
3908
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
3909
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
3910
3911
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
3912
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
3913
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
3914
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
3915
python path. (Robert Collins)
3916
3917
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
3918
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
3919
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
3920
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
3921
3922
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
3923
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
3924
3925
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
3926
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
3927
(Robert Collins)
3928
3929
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
3930
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
3931
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
3932
3933
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
3934
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
3935
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
3936
3937
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3938
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3939
3940
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
3941
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
3942
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
3943
(Robert Collins)
3944
3945
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
3946
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
3947
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
3948
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
3949
(Robert Collins)
3950
3951
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
3952
(Robert Collins)
3953
3954
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
3955
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
3956
(Robert Collins)
3957
3958
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
3959
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
3960
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
3961
3962
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
3963
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
3964
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
3965
3966
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
3967
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
3968
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
3969
3970
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3971
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3972
3973
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
3974
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
3975
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
3976
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
3977
caller. (Robert Collins)
3978
3979
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
3980
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
3981
(Robert Collins).
3982
3983
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
3984
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
3985
(Aaron Bentley)
3986
3987
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
3988
3989
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
3990
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
3991
3992
BUG FIXES:
3993
3994
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
3995
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
3996
3997
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
3998
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
4002
====================
4003
4004
BUG FIXES:
4005
4006
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
4007
allow directories to be listed.
4008
4009
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
4010
upgrading branch format.
4011
4012
PERFORMANCE:
4013
4014
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.

4017
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
4018
==================
4019
4020
NOTES:
4021
4022
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
4023
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
4024
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
4025
high-latency connections.
4026
4027
BUG FIXES:
4028
4029
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
4030
Rob Weir.
4031
4032
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
4033
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
4034
4035
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
4036
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
4037
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
4038
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4039
4040
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
4041
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
4042
4043
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
4044
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
4045
4046
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
4047
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
4048
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4049
4050
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
4051
for files with only a change to their executable status.
4052
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
4053
Robert Collins
4054
4055
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
4056
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
4057
4058
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
4059
different partial views of history.
4060
4061
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
4062
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
4063
4064
IMPROVEMENTS:
4065
4066
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
4067
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
4068
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4069
4070
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
4071
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
4072
'bzr upgrade'.
4073
4074
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
4075
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
4076
4077
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
4078
Niemeyer.
4079
4080
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
4081
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
4082
4083
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
4084
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
4085
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
4086
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4087
4088
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
4089
4090
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
4091
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
4092
Gustavo Niemeyer.
4093
4094
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
4095
Contributed by Robert Collins.
4096
4097
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
4098
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
4099
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
4100
4101
4102
INTERNALS:
4103
4104
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
4105
for your viewing pleasure.
4106
4107
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
4108
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
4109
4110
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
4111
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
4112
handling of such circumstances.
4113
4114
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
4115
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
4116
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
4117
4118
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
4119
4120
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
4121
we call them revisions not patches.
4122
4123
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
4124
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
4125
4126
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
4127
giving the revision *of that file*.
4128
4129
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
4130
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
4131
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
4132
4133
TESTING:
4134
4135
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
4136
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
4137
4138
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
4139
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``

bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
4143
====================
4144
4145
BUG FIXES:
4146
4147
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
4148
4149
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
4150
(Robert Collins).
4151
4152
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
4153
4154
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
4155
4156
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
4157
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4158
4159
IMPROVEMENTS:
4160
4161
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
4162
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
4163
4164
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
4165
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
4166
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
4167
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
4168
Robey Pointer
4169
4170
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
4171
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4172
4173
INTERNALS:
4174
4175
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
4176
4177
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
4178
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
4179
4180
4181
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
4182
====================
4183
4184
IMPROVEMENTS:
4185
4186
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
4187
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
4188
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
4189
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
4190
Michael Ellerman.
4191
4192
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
4193
(Nir Soffer)
4194
4195
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
4196
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
4197
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
4198
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
4199
for the operating system is still tried.
4200
4201
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
4202
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
4203
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
4204
4205
4206
INTERNALS:
4207
4208
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
4209
4210
BUG FIXES:
4211
4212
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
4213
4214
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
4215
branch.
4216
4217
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
4218
read.
4219
4220
4221
PORTABILITY:
4222
4223
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
4224
4225
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
4226
4227
4228
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
4229
====================
4230
4231
NEW FEATURES:
4232
4233
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
4234
help with intelligent shell completion.
4235
4236
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
4237
4238
4239
ENHANCEMENTS:
4240
4241
* Much better merge support.
4242
4243
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
4244
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
4245
like emacs smerge.
4246
4247
4248
BUG FIXES:
4249
4250
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
4251
mention revisions that are not present.
4252
4253
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
4254
4255
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
4256
4257
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
4258
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
4259
4260
4261
CHANGES:
4262
4263
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
4264
4265
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
4266
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
4267
--help themselves.
4268
4269
4270
LIBRARY:
4271
4272
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
4273
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
4274
libraries.
4275
4276
4277
4278
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
4279
====================
4280
4281
NEW FEATURES:
4282
4283
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
4284
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
4285
4286
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
4287
4288
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
4289
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
4290
4291
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
4292
FOO.
4293
4294
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
4295
4296
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
4297
the Unix command.
4298
4299
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
4300
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
4301
4302
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
4303
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
4304
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
4305
4306
4307
ENHANCEMENTS:
4308
4309
* Faster working tree operations.
4310
4311
4312
CHANGES:
4313
4314
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
4315
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
4316
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
4317
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
4318
4319
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
4320
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
4321
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
4322
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
4323
standard plugins directory.
4324
4325
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
4326
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
4327
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
4328
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
4329
4330
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
4331
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
4332
4333
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
4334
disk.
4335
4336
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
4337
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
4338
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
4339
4340
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
4341
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
4342
4343
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
4344
line options must come before the command name because they
4345
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
4346
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
4347
it.
4348
4349
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
4350
4351
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
4352
is available with ``--short``.
4353
4354
4355
BUG FIXES:
4356
4357
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
4358
4359
4360
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
4361
=====================
4362
4363
CHANGES:
4364
4365
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
4366
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4367
4368
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
4369
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
4370
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
4371
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
4372
4373
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
4374
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
4375
with the ``--forward`` option.
4376
4377
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
4378
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
4379
field.
4380
2
4381

4382
ENHANCEMENTS:
4
4383
5
4384
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
6
4385
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
7
4386
8
* New 'bzr ignore PATTERN' command.
4387
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
9
4388
10
4389
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
11
4390
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
12
4391
13
* Add ``.*.swp .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
4392
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
14
4393
15
4394
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
16
4395
either read or write mode.
25
4404
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
26
4405
suggested by LarstiQ.
27
4406
28
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz Oler.
4407
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
4408
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
4409
4410
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
4411
a filename.
4412
4413
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
4414
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
4415
4416
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
4417
haven't changed since the previous time.
4418
4419
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
4420
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
4421
4422
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
4423
4424
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
4425
4426
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
4427
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
4428
4429
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
4430
options through to an external GNU diff.
4431
4432
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
4433
their contents.
4434
4435
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
4436
from a branch.
4437
4438
4439
BUG FIXES:
4440
4441
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
4442
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
4443
4444
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
4445
metacharacters.

4448
TESTING:
40
4457
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
41
4458
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
42
4459
4460
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
4461
under a different version.
4462
4463
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.
4464

4475
* Expose ``bzrlib.open_tracefile()`` to start the tracefile; until
54
4476
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
55
4477
56
* New internal function find_touching_revisions() and hidden
4478
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
57
4479
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
58
4480
59
* Simpler and faster compare_inventories() function.
60
61
* bzrlib.open_tracefile() takes a tracefilename parameter.
4481

4489
4490
PORTABILITY:
4491
4492
