--------------

CHANGES:
11
12
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
13
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
14
15
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
16
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
17
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
18
19
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
20
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
21
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
22
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
23
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
24
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
25
(Aaron Bentley)
26
27
FEATURES:
28
29
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
30
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
31
32
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
33
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
34
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
35
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
36
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
37
38
IMPROVEMENTS:
39
40
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
41
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
42
43
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
44
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
45
46
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
47
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
48
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
49
50
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
51
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
52
(John Arbash Meinel)
53
54
BUGFIXES:
55
56
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
57
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
58
59
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
60
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
61
62
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
63
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
64
65
* pull --quiet is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
66
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
67
#185907)
68
69
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
70
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
71
72
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
73
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
74
75
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
76
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
77
78
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
79
more characters which should be considered valid.
80
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
81
82
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
83
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
84
85
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
86
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
87
88
API BREAKS:
89
90
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
91
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
92
93
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
94
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
95
(Martin Pool)
96
97
TESTING:
98
99
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
100
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
101
(Vincent Ladeuil)
102
103
INTERNALS:
104
105
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
106
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
107
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
108
109
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
110
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
111
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
112
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
113
114
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
115
116
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
117
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
118
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
119
server. (Robert Collins)
120
121
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
122
operate. (Robert Collins)
123
124
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
125
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
126
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
127
128
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
129
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
130
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
131
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
132
133
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
134
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
135
136
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
137
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
138
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
139
140
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
141
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
142
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
143
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)
144
145
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
146
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
147
148
149
bzr 1.1 2008-01-15
150
------------------
151
152
(no changes from 1.1rc1)
153
154
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
155
---------------------
156
157
CHANGES:
158
159
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
160
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
161
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
162
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
163
164
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
165
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
166
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
167
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
168
169
FEATURES:
170
171
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
172
(Lukáš Lalinský)
173
174
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
175
(Aaron Bentley)
176
177
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
178
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
179
180
IMPROVEMENTS:
181
182
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
183
#90049)
184
185
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
186
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
187
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
188
189
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
190
191
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
192
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
193
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
194
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
195
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
196
197
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
198
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
199
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
200
201
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
202
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
203
204
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
205
(Vincent Ladeuil)
206
207
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
208
209
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
210
211
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
212
(Aaron Bentley)
213
214
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
215
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
216
217
BUGFIXES:
218
219
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
220
(Martin Pool, #180208)
221
222
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
223
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
224
225
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
226
(Aaron Bentley)
227
228
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
229
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
230
231
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
232
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
233
234
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
235
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
236
237
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
238
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
239
240
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
241
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
242
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
243
244
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
245
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
246
247
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
248
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
249
(Aaron Bentley)
250
251
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
252
253
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
254
user:pass embedded in the urls.
255
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
256
257
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
258
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
259
260
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
261
(Aaron Bentley)
262
263
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
264
#148087)
265
266
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
267
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
268
269
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
270
#137681)
271
272
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
273
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
274
(Aaron Bentley)
275
276
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
277
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
278
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
279
280
DOCUMENTATION:
281
282
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
283
(Ian Clatworthy)
284
285
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
286
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
287
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
288
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
289
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
290
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
291
292
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
293
294
INTERNALS:
295
296
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
297
(Aaron Bentley)
298
299
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
300
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
301
302
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
303
304
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
305
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
306
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
307
Robert Collins)
308
309
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
310
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
311
312
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
313
(Vincent Ladeuil)
314
315
API BREAKS:
316
317
TESTING:
318
319
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
320
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
321
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
322
323
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
324
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
325
(Robert Collins)
326
327
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
328
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
329
330
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
331
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
332
333
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
334
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
335
336
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
337
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
338
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
339
340
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
341
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
342
343
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
344
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
345
346
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
347
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
348
(Vincent Ladeuil)
349
350
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
351
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
352
353
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
354
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
355
356
357
bzr 1.0 2007-12-14
358
------------------
359
360
DOCUMENTATION:
361
362
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
363
364
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
365
(Ian Clatworthy)
366
367
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
368
369
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
370
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.
371
(Ian Clatworthy)
372
373
374
bzr 1.0rc3 2007-12-11
375
---------------------
376
377
CHANGES:
378
379
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
380
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
381
by mail to the mailing list.
382
(Martin Pool)
383
384
BUGFIXES:
385
386
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
387
388
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
389
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
390
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
391
feedback but also incur more latency.
392
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
393
394
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
395
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
396
397
DOCUMENTATION:
398
399
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
400
401
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
402
(Ian Clatworthy)
403
404
INTERNALS:
405
406
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
407
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
408
wraps its output in a StringIO.
409
(Vincent Ladeuil)
410
411
412
bzr 1.0rc2 2007-12-07
413
---------------------
414
415
IMPROVEMENTS:
416
417
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
418
419
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
420
(Aaron Bentley)
421
422
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
423
Nordhoff, #172612)
424
425
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
426
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
427
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
428
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
429
430
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
431
(Kent Gibson)
432
433
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
434
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
435
436
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
437
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
438
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
439
440
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
441
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
442
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
443
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
444
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
445
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
446
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
447
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
448
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)

459
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
460
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
461
462
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
463
filename to user.
464
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
465
466
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
467
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
468
required.
469
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)

472
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)

---------------------
485
486
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
487
488
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
489
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
490
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
491
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
492
493
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
494
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
495
496
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
497
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
498
499
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
500
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
501
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
502
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
503
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
504
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
505
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
506
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
507
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
508
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
509
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
510
from any tree without problems.
511
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
512
513
CHANGES:
514
515
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
516
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
517
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
518
519
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
520
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
521
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
522
(Martin Pool)
523
524
FEATURES:
525
526
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
527
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
528
supported transports.
529
(Vincent Ladeuil)
530
531
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
532
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
533
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
534
535
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
536
(Robert Collins, #154173)
537
538
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
539
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
540
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
541
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
542
543
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
544
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
545
546
PERFORMANCE:
547
548
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
549
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
550
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
551
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
552
553
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
554
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
555
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
556
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
557
558
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
559
(Robert Collins, #88319)
560
561
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
562
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
563
564
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
565
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
566
567
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
568
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
569
(Aaron Bentley)
570
571
IMPROVEMENTS:
572
573
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
574
(Aaron Bentley)
575
576
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
577
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
578
(Lukáš Lalinský)
579
580
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
581
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
582
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
583
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
584
585
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
586
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
587
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
588
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)

* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
607
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)

* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
619
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
620

625
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
626
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)

629
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
630
631
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
632
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
633
634
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
635
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
636
637
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
638
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
639
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
640
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
641
on them.
642
(Martin Pool, #164637)
643
644
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
645
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
646
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
647
648
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
649
(Robert Collins, #161240)
650
651
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
652
to be reconciled.
653
(Martin Pool, #164443)
654
655
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
656
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
657
658
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
659
specify a port in urls.
660
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
661
662
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
663
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
664
665
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
666
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
667
668
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
669
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
670
671
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
672
(Robert Collins, #153789)
673
674
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
675
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
676
(Robert Collins, #165304).
677
678
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
679
680

690
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
691
692
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
693
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
694
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
695
696
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
697
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
698
699
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
700
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
701
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
702
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
703
704
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
705
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
706
707
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
708
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
709
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
710
711
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
712
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
713
714
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
715
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
716
717
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
718
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
719
720
API BREAKS:
721
722
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
723
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
724
725
* The return value of
726
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
727
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
728
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
729
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
730
731
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
732
(Robert Collins)
733
734
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
735
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
736
format.
737
(Martin Pool)
738
739
INTERNALS:
740
741
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
742
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
743
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
744
Bennetts)
745
746
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
747
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
748
749
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

765
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
766
767
CHANGES:
768
769
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
770
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
771
772
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
773
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
774
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
775
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
776
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
777
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
778
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
779
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
780
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
781
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
782
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
783
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
784
(Robert Collins)
785
786
FEATURES:
787
788
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
789
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
790
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
791
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
792
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
793
for further details. (Robert Collins)
794
795
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
796
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
797
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
798
(Robert Collins)
799
800
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
801
802
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
803
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
804
805
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
806
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
807
(Aaron Bentley)
808
809
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
810
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
811
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
812
813
PERFORMANCE:
814
815
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
816
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
817
818
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
819
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
820
821
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
822
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
823
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
824
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
825
826
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
827
(Robert Collins)
828
829
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
830
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
831
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
832
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
833
834
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
835
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
836
837
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
838
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
839
840
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
841
the contents. (Robert Collins)
842
843
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
844
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
845
846
IMPROVEMENTS:
847
848
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
849
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
850
851
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
852
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
853
854
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
855
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
856
857
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
858
(Martin Pool, #63894)
859
860
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
861
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
862
863
DOCUMENTATION:
864
865
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
866
867
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
868
(Ian Clatworthy)
869
870
BUG FIXES:
871
872
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
873
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
874
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
875
876
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
877
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
878
879
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
880
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
881
882
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
883
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
884
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
885
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
886
887
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
888
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
889
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
890
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
891
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
892
893
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
894
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
895
paramiko.
896
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
897
898
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
899
900
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
901
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
902
903
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
904
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
905

* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
907
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
908
909
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
910
contains a symbolic link.
911
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
912
913
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
914
(James Westby, #140615)
915
916
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
917
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
918
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
919
920
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
921
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
922
(Martin Pool, #144633)
923
924
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
925
926
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
927
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
928
929
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
930
will remain opened.
931
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
932
933
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
934
directory to detect leaking tests.

936
937
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
938
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
939
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
940
941
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
942
(Rob Weir, #141629)
943
944
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
945
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
946
947
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
948
Merwe)
949
950
API BREAKS:
951
952
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
953
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
954
955
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
956
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
957
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
958
959
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
960
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
961
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
962
963
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
964
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
965
966
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
967
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
968
969
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
970
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
971
(Martin Pool)
972
973
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
974
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
975
976
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
977
class that needs it.
978
(Martin Pool)
979
980
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
981
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
982
983
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
984
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
985
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
986
987
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
988
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
989
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
990
(Robert Collins)
991
992
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
993
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
994
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
995
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
996
(Robert Collins)
997
998
INTERNALS:
999
1000
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
1001
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
1002
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
1003
1004
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
1005
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
1006
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
1007
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
1008
1009
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
1010
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
1011
(Robert Collins)
1012
1013
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
1014
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
1015
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
1016
1017
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
1018
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
1019
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
1020
1021
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
1022
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
1023
1024
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
1025
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
1026
to complete. (Robert Collins)
1027
1028
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
1029
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
1030
1031
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
1032
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
1033
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
1034
1035
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
1036
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
1037
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
1038
1039
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
1040
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
1041
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
1042
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
1043
1044
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
1045
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
1046
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
1047
returned. (Robert Collins)
1048
1049
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
1050
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
1051
1052
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
1053
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
1054
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
1055
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
1056
(Robert Collins)
1057
1058
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
1059
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
1060
1061
TESTING:
1062
1063
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
1064
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
1065
1066
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
1067
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
1068
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
1069
makes this behavior available to other users.
1070
(Martin Pool)
1071
1072
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
1073
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)

bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
1077
-------------------
1078
1079
BUG FIXES:
1080
1081
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1082
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1083
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1084
1085
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1086
1087
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
1088
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
1089
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
1090
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
1091
1092
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
1093
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
1094
(Andrew Bennetts)

1096
1097
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
1098
----------------------
1099

1101
in bzrlib/remote.py.

1105
----------------------
1106
1107
CHANGES:
1108
1109
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
1110
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
1111
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
1112
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
1113
(Martin Pool)
1114
1115
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
1116
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
1117
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
1118
(Ian Clatworthy)
1119
1120
FEATURES:
1121
1122
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
1123
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
1124
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
1125
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1126
1127
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
1128
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
1129
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
1130
1131
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
1132
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
1133
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
1134
1135
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
1136
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
1137
1138
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
1139
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
1140
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
1141
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
1142
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
1143
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
1144
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
1145
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
1146
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
1147
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
1148
1149
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
1150
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
1151
1152
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
1153
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
1154
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1155
1156
BUG FIXES:
1157
1158
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
1159
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
1160
1161
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
1162
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
1163
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
1164
1165
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
1166
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
1167
1168
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
1169
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
1170
1171
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
1172
(Aaron Bentley)
1173
1174
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
1175
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
1176
1177
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
1178
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
1179
1180
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
1181
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1182
1183
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
1184
(Blake Winton, #129299)
1185
1186
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
1187
1188
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
1189
Watkins, #106726)
1190
1191
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
1192
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
1193
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
1194
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
1195
1196
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1197
1198
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
1199
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
1200
#133548)
1201
1202
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
1203
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
1204
1205
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
1206
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
1207
#116143)
1208
1209
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
1210
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
1211
1212
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
1213
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
1214
1215
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
1216
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
1217
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
1218
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
1219
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
1220
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
1221
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
1222
1223
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
1224
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
1225
1226
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
1227
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
1228
1229
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
1230
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
1231
1232
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
1233
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
1234
1235
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
1236
connections.
1237
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
1238
1239
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
1240
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
1241
1242
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
1243
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
1244
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
1245
1246
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1247
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1248
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1249
1250
IMPROVEMENTS:
1251
1252
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
1253
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1254
1255
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
1256
(Aaron Bentley)
1257
1258
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
1259
(Aaron Bentley)
1260
1261
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
1262
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1263
1264
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
1265
1266
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
1267
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
1268
1269
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
1270
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
1271
1272
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
1273
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
1274
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
1275
space). (Robert Collins)
1276
1277
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
1278
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
1279
(Ian Clatworthy)
1280
1281
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
1282
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1283
1284
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
1285
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
1286
1287
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
1288
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
1289
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
1290
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
1291
1292
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
1293
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
1294
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
1295
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1296
1297
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
1298
(Ian Clatworthy)
1299
1300
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
1301
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
1302
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
1303
1304
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
1305
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
1306
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
1307
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
1308
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
1309
1310
API BREAKS:
1311
1312
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
1313
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
1314
1315
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
1316
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
1317
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
1318
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
1319
affected. (Robert Collins)
1320
1321
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
1322
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
1323
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
1324
(Robert Collins)
1325
1326
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1327
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1328
1329
TESTING:
1330
1331
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
1332
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
1333
1334
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
1335
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1336
1337
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1338
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1339
1340
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
1341
(Aaron Bentley)
1342
1343
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
1344
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1345
1346
INTERNALS:
1347
1348
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
1349
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
1350
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
1351
its version information. (Robert Collins)
1352
1353
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
1354
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1355
1356
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
1357
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
1358
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
1359
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1360
1361
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
1362
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
1363
present. (Robert Collins)
1364
1365
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
1366
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
1367
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
1368
API. (Robert Collins)
1369
1370
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
1371
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
1372
(Robert Collins)
1373
1374
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
1375
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
1376
1377
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
1378
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
1379
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
1380
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
1381
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
1382
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
1383
1384
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
1385
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
1386
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
1387
1388
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
1389
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
1390
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
1391
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
1392
protocol.
1393
1394
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
1395
(Aaron Bentley)
1396
1397
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
1398
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
1399
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
1400
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
1401
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
1402
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
1403
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
1404
1405
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
1406
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
1407
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
1408
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
1409
1410
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
1411
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
1412
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
1413
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
1414
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
1415
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
1416
1417
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
1418
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
1419
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
1420
1421
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
1422
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

-------------------
1427
1428
IMPROVEMENTS:
1429
1430
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
1431
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
1432
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
1433
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
1434
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
1435
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
1436
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.

(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
1438
1439
1440
API CHANGES:
1441
1442
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
1443
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
1444
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
1445
1446
1447
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
1448
----------------------
1449
1450
BUGFIXES:
1451
1452
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
1453
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
1454
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
1455
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
1456
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
1457
1458
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
1459
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
1460
1461
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
1462
anymore.
1463
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
1464
1465
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
1466
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
1467
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1468
1469
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
1470
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
1471
#111664)
1472
1473
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
1474
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1475
1476
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
1477
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
1478
1479
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
1480
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
1481
1482
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
1483
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
1484
1485
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
1486
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
1487
1488
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
1489
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
1490
1491
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
1492
(Aaron Bentley)
1493
1494
IMPROVEMENTS:
1495
1496
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
1497
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
1498
1499
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
1500
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
1501
1502
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
1503
the repository (Robert Collins)
1504
1505
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
1506
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
1507
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
1508
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
1509
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
1510
1511
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
1512
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1513
1514
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
1515
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
1516
(John Arbash Meinel)
1517
1518
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
1519
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
1520
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
1521
about 10%).
1522
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
1523
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
1524
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
1525
(John Arbash Meinel)
1526
1527
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
1528
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
1529
(Robert Collins)
1530
1531
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
1532
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
1533
1534
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
1535
(Ian Clatworthy)
1536
1537
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
1538
1539
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
1540
1541
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
1542
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
1543
1544
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
1545
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
1546
Meinel)
1547
1548
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
1549
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
1550
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
1551
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1552
1553
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
1554
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
1555
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
1556
1557
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
1558
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
1559
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
1560
1561
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
1562
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
1563
1564
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
1565
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
1566
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
1567
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
1568
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
1569
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
1570
(Ian Clatworthy)
1571
1572
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
1573
(Alexander Belchenko)
1574
1575
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
1576
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
1577
1578
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
1579
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
1580
1581
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
1582
1583
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
1584
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
1585
1586
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
1587
1588
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
1589
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
1590
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
1591
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
1592
1593
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
1594
1595
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
1596
(Robert Collins)
1597
1598
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
1599
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
1600
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
1601
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
1602
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
1603
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
1604
1605
INTERNALS:
1606
1607
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
1608
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
1609
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
1610
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
1611
1612
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
1613
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
1614
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
1615
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
1616
tests have been refactored too.
1617
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1618
1619
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
1620
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
1621
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
1622
list, it will.
1623
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1624
1625
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
1626
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
1627
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1628
1629
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
1630
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
1631
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
1632
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
1633
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
1634
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
1635
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
1636
1637
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
1638
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
1639
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
1640
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
1641
(John Arbash Meinel)
1642
1643
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
1644
functionality for testing.
1645
1646
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
1647
1648
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
1649
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1650
1651
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
1652
1653
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
1654
(Robert Collins)
1655
1656
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
1657
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
1658
1659
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
1660
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
1661
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
1662
1663
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
1664
(Aaron Bentley)
1665
1666
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
1667
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
1668
1669
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
1670
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
1671
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
1672
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
1673
1674
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
1675
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
1676
1677
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
1678
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
1679
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
1680
1681
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
1682
(Marius Kruger)
1683
1684
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
1685
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
1686
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
1687
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
1688
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
1689
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
1690
1691
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
1692
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
1693
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
1694
many files. (Robert Collins)
1695
1696
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
1697
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
1698
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
1699
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
1700
1701
TESTING:
1702
1703
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
1704
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
1705
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
1706
1707
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
1708
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
1709
1710
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
1711
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
1712
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

BUGFIXES:
1727
1728
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
1729
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
1730
1731
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
1732
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
1733
(James Westby, #122656)
1734
1735
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
1736
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
1737
1738
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
1739
authentication header.
1740
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
1741
1742
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
1743
1744
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
1745
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
1746
1747
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
1748
1749
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
1750
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
1751
1752
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
1753
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
1754
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
1755
1756
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
1757
individually and as part of revision ranges.
1758
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
1759
1760
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
1761
(Martin Pool, #109169)
1762
1763
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
1764
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
1765
1766
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
1767
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
1768
1769
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1770
1771
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
1772
1773
IMPROVEMENTS:
1774
1775
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
1776
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
1777
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
1778
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
1779
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
1780
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
1781
1782
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
1783
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
1784
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
1785
1786
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
1787
(Elliot Murphy)
1788
1789
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
1790
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
1791
1792
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
1793
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
1794
1795
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
1796
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
1797
1798
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
1799
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
1800
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
1801
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
1802
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
1803
1804
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
1805
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
1806
1807
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
1808
can be slow it is useful feedback).
1809
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
1810
1811
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
1812
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
1813
1814
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
1815
1816
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
1817
output. (Aaron Bentley)
1818
1819
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
1820
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
1821
(Robert Collins)
1822
1823
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
1824
(Martin Pool)
1825
1826
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
1827
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
1828
1829
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
1830
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
1831
1832
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
1833
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
1834
1835
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
1836
1837
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
1838
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
1839
1840
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
1841
(Andrew Bennetts)

``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
1854
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1855
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
1856
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
1857
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
1858
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1859
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
1860
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1861
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
1862
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
1863
(Robert Collins)
1864
1865
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
1866
1867
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
1868
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
1869
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
1870
1871
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
1872
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
1873
1874
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
1875
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1876
1877
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
1878
1879
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
1880
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
1881
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
1882
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
1883
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
1884
same location. (Robert Collins)
1885
1886
INTERNALS:
1887
1888
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
1889
1890
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
1891
1892
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
1893
1894
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
1895
(Martin Pool)
1896
1897
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
1898
(Martin Pool)
1899
1900
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
1901
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
1902
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
1903
1904
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
1905
1906
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
1907
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
1908
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
1909
1910
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
1911
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
1912
1913
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
1914
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
1915
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
1916
1917
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
1918
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
1919
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
1920
1921
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
1922
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
1923
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
1924
1925
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
1926
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
1927
Martin Pool)
1928
1929
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
1930
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
1931
1932
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
1933
(Alexander Belchenko)
1934
1935
TESTING:
1936
1937
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
1938
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
1939
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
1940
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1941
1942
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
1943
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
1944
testing. (Robert Collins)
1945
1946
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
1947
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
1948
1949
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
1950
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
1951
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
1952
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
1953
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
1954
attribute during the test parameterisation in
1955
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
1956
1957
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
1958
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
1959
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
1960
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
1961
1962
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
1963
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
1964
1965
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
1966
avoid useless cloning.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1986
1987
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
1988
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
1989
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
1990
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
1991
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
1992
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
1993
and unlock() like so::
1994
1995
work_tree.lock_read()
1996
try:
1997
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
1998
finally:
1999
work_tree.unlock()
2000
2001
INTERNALS:
2002
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
2003
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
2004
object.
2005
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
2006
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
2007
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
2008
2009
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
2010
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
2011
too. (Robert Collins)
2012
2013
IMPROVEMENTS:
2014
2015
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
2016
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
2017
Aaron Bentley)
2018
2019
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
2020
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
2021
2022
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
2023
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
2024
2025
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
2026
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
2027
understanding what changes have occurred
2028
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
2029
2030
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
2031
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
2032
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2033
2034
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
2035
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
2036
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
2037
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
2038
2039
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
2040
#56322)
2041
2042
BUGFIXES:
2043
2044
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
2045
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
2046
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
2047
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
2048
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
2049
2050
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
2051
based on split paths, not just string paths.
2052
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
2053
2054
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
2055
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
2056
2057
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
2058
into account.
2059
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
2060
2061
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
2062
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
2063
2064
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
2065
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
2066
2067
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
2068
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
2069
2070
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
2071
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
2072
2073
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
2074
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
2075
2076
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
2077
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
2078
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

2081
--------------------
2082
2083
BUGFIXES:
2084
2085
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
2086
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
2087
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
2088
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
2089
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
2090
2091
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
2092
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
2093
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
2094
2095
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
2096
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
2097
2098
IMPROVEMENTS:
2099
2100
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
2101
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
2102
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
2103
2104
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
2105
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
2106
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
2107
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
2110
-----------------------
2111
2112
BUGFIXES:
2113
2114
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
2115
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
2116
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
2117
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
2118
2119
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
2120
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
2121
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
2122
2123
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
2124
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
2125
2126
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
2127
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
2128
2129
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
2130
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

2132
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
2133
-----------------------
2134
2135
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2136
2137
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
2138
it could be recovered again.
2139
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
2140
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
2141
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
2142
but not delete it.
2143
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
2144
files.
2145
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
2146
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
2147
2148
IMPROVEMENTS:
2149
2150
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
2151
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
2152
2153
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
2154
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
2155
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
2156
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
2157
2158
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
2159
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
2160
2161
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
2162
tests with names that match that regular expression.
2163
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
2164
2165
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
2166
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
2167
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
2168
2169
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
2170
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
2171
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
2172
2173
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
2174
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
2175
Robert Collins)
2176
2177
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
2178
Pool)
2179
2180
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
2181
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
2182
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
2183
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
2184
2185
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
2186
(Robert Collins)
2187
2188
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
2189
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
2190
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
2191
(Robert Collins)
2192
2193
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
2194
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
2195
2196
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
2197
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
2198
2199
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
2200
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
2201
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
2202
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
2203
(Robert Collins)
2204
2205
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
2206
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
2207
2208
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
2209
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2210
2211
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
2212
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
2213
(Robert Collins, #107125).
2214
2215
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
2216
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
2217
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
2218
2219
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
2220
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
2221
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2222
2223
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
2224
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
2225
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
2226
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
2227
2228
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
2229
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
2230
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
2231
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
2232
2233
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
2234
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
2235
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
2236
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
2237
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
2238
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
2239
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
2240
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
2241
header(s).
2242
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2243
2244
INTERNALS:
2245
2246
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
2247
code paths. (Robert Collins)
2248
2249
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
2250
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
2251
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
2252
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
2253
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2254
2255
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
2256
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
2257
2258
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
2259
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
2260
2261
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
2262
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
2263
2264
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
2265
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
2266
2267
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
2268
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
2269
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
2270
(Robert Collins).
2271
2272
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
2273
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
2274
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
2275
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
2276
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
2277
(Robert Collins)
2278
2279
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
2280
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
2281
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
2282
2283
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
2284
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
2285
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2286
2287
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
2288
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
2289
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
2290
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2291
2292
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
2293
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
2294
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
2295
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
2296
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
2297
2298
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
2299
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
2300
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
2301
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2302
2303
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
2304
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2305
2306
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
2307
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
2308
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
2309
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
2310
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
2311
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
2312
2313
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
2314
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
2315
2316
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
2317
help. (Robert Collins)
2318
2319
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
2320
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2321
2322
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
2323
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
2324
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
2325
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
2326
(John Arbash Meinel)
2327
2328
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
2329
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
2330
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
2331
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
2332
useful. (Robert Collins)
2333
2334
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
2335
(Andrew Bennetts)
2336
2337
BUGFIXES:
2338
2339
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
2340
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
2341
2342
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
2343
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
2344
2345
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
2346
properly and is no longer beneficial.
2347
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
2348
2349
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
2350
(Aaron Bentley)
2351
2352
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
2353
the file, and does it faster.
2354
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
2355
2356
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
2357
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
2358
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
2359
2360
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
2361
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
2362
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
2363
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
2364
2365
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
2366
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
2367
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
2368
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
2369
2370
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
2371
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
2372
2373
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
2374
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
2375
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
2376
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
2377
Arbash Meinel)
2378
2379
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
2380
2381
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
2382
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
2383
2384
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
2385
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
2386
2387
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
2388
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
2389
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
2390
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
2391
security hole.
2392
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2393
2394
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
2395
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
2396
2397
TESTING:
2398
2399
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
2400
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
2401
in running it. (Robert Collins)
2402
2403
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
2404
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
2405
2406
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
2407
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
2408
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
2409
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
2410
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
2411
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
2412
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
2413
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2414
2415
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
2416
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
2417
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2418
2419
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
2420
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
2421
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
2422
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
2423
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
2424
access.
2425
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2426
2427
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
2428
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
2429
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
2430
2431
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
2432
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
2433

(Aaron Bentley)
2442

2448
-----------------------
2449
2450
CHANGES:
2451
2452
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
2453
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
2454
(Martin Pool)
2455
2456
IMPROVEMENTS:
2457
2458
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
2459
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
2460
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
2461
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
2462
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
2463
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
2464
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
2465
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
2466
path. (vila)
2467
2468
INTERNALS:
2469
2470
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
2471
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
2472
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
2473
2474
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
2475
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
2476
(Martin Pool)
2477
2478
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
2479
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
2480
(John Arbash Meinel)
2481
2482
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
2483
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
2484
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
2485
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
2486
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
2487
2488
BUGFIXES:
2489
2490
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
2491
(vila, #92195)
2492
2493
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
2494
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
2495
2496
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
2497
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
2498
2499
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
2500
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
2501
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
2502
2503
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
2504
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
2505
2506
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
2507
last-changed-revision for directories. The
2508
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
2509
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
2510
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
2511
2512
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
2513
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
2514
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
2515
2516
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
2520
-----------------------
2521
2522
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2523
2524
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
2525
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
2526
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
2527
2528
IMPROVEMENTS:
2529
2530
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
2531
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
2532
2533
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
2534
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
2535
2536
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
2537
2538
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
2539
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
2540
2541
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
2542
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
2543
2544
INTERNALS:
2545
2546
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
2547
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
2548
2549
BUGFIXES:
2550
2551
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
2552
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
2553
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
2554
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
2555
2556
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
2557
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
2558
2559
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
2560
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
2561
2562
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
2563
(Marien Zwart)
2564
2565
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
2566
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)

2569
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
2570
-----------------------
2571
2572
SURPRISES:
2573
2574
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
2575
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
2576
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
2577
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
2578
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
2579
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
2580
2581
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
2582
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
2583
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
2584
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
2585
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
2586
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
2587
development.
2588
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2589
2590
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
2591
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
2592
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
2593
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
2594
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
2595
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
2596
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
2597
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2598
2599
IMPROVEMENTS:
2600
2601
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
2602
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
2603
2604
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
2605
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
2606
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
2607
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
2608
does exist.
2609
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
2610
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
2611
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
2612
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
2613
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
2614
2615
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
2616
(Aaron Bentley)
2617
2618
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
2619
(Aaron Bentley)
2620
2621
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
2622
(Robert Collins)
2623
2624
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
2625
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
2626
(Aaron Bentley)
2627
2628
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
2629
(Aaron Bentley)
2630
2631
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
2632
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
2633
2634
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
2635
directory. (Martin Pool)
2636
2637
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
2638
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
2639
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
2640
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
2641
2642
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
2643
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
2644
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
2645
in docs/configuration.txt.
2646
2647
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
2648
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
2649
bind location.
2650
2651
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
2652
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
2653
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
2654
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
2655
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
2656
repositories. (Martin Pool)
2657
2658
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
2659
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2660
2661
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
2662
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
2663
2664
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
2665
(Aaron Bentley)
2666
2667
INTERNALS:
2668
2669
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
2670
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
2671
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
2672
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
2673
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
2674
(John Arbash Meinel)
2675
2676
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
2677
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
2678
(Aaron Bentley)
2679
2680
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
2681
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
2682
(John Arbash Meinel)
2683
2684
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
2685
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
2686
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
2687
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
2688
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
2689
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
2690
2691
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
2692
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
2693
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
2694
2695
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
2696
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
2697
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
2698
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
2699
repository.
2700
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2701
2702
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
2703
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
2704
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
2705
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
2706
2707
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
2708
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
2709
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
2710
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
2711
2712
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
2713
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
2714
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
2715
2716
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
2717
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
2718
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
2719
2720
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
2721
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
2722
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
2723
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
2724
2725
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
2726
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
2727
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
2728
2729
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
2730
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
2731
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
2732
2733
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
2734
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
2735
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
2736
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
2737
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
2738
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
2739
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
2740
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
2741

2743
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
2744
2745
BUGFIXES:
2746
2747
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
2748
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
2749
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
2750
2751
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
2752
(Aaron Bentley)
2753
2754
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
2755
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
2756
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
2757
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
2758
2759
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
2760
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
2761
#83954).
2762
2763
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
2764
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
2765
2766
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
2767
2768
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
2769
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
2770
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
2771
2772
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
2773
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
2774
2775
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
2776
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
2777
2778
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
2779
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
2780
2781
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
2782
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
2783
2784
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
2785
2786
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
2787
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
2788
2789
TESTING:
2790
2791
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
2792
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

2794
2795
bzr 0.14 2007-01-23
2796
--------------------
2797
2798
IMPROVEMENTS:
2799
2800
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
2801
2802
BUG FIXES:
2803
2804
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
2805
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
2806
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
2807
2808
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
2809
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
2810
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
2811
2812
2813
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
2814
-----------------------
2815
2816
IMPROVEMENTS:
2817
2818
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
2819
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
2820
server, then you can write over the http connection.
2821
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2822
2823
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
2824
(Marius Kruger)
2825
2826
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
2827
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
2828
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2829
2830
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
2831
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
2832
2833
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
2834
(Aaron Bentley)
2835
2836
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
2837
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
2838
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
2839
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
2840
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
2841
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
2842
2843
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
2844
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
2845
should enable you to do::
2846
2847
[/home/user/project]
2848
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
2849
push_location:policy = appendpath
2850
2851
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
2852
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
2853
(James Henstridge)
2854
2855
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
2856
for each file. For example::
2857
2858
$ bzr status --short
2859
A foo
2860
A bar
2861
D baz
2862
? wooley
2863
2864
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
2865
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
2866
2867
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
2868
2869
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
2870
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
2871
2872
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
2873
2874
INTERNALS:
2875
2876
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
2877
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
2878
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
2879
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
2880
2881
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
2882
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
2883
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
2884
2885
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2886
2887
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
2888
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
2889
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
2890
(Alexander Belchenko)
2891
2892
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
2893
Pool)
2894
2895
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
2896
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
2897
2898
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
2899
2900
BUG FIXES:
2901
2902
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
2903
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
2904
2905
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
2906
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
2907
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
2908
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
2909
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
2910
2911
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
2912
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
2913
2914
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
2915
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
2916
2917
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
2918
matcher.
2919
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
2920
2921
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
2922
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
2923
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
2924
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
2925
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
2926
2927
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
2928
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
2929
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
2930
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
2931
2932
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
2933
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
2934
2935
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
2936
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
2937
2938
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
2939
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
2940
2941
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

2953
IMPROVEMENTS:
2954
2955
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
2956
tree from a branch.
2957
(Daniel Silverstone)
2958
2959
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
2960
operations are substantially faster.
2961
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
2962
2963
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
2964
tree from some other url. For example:
2965
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
2966
(Daniel Silverstone)
2967
2968
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
2969
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
2970
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
2971
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
2972
2973
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
2974
(Andrew Bennetts)
2975
2976
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
2977
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
2978
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
2979
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
2980
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
2981
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
2982
2983
INTERNALS:
2984
2985
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
2986
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
2987
(Martin Pool)
2988
2989
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
2990
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
2991
(John Arbash Meinel)
2992
2993
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
2994
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
2995
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
2996
(John Arbash Meinel)
2997
2998
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
2999
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
3000
3001
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
3002
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3003
3004
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
3005
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
3006
Bennetts)
3007
3008
BUG FIXES:
3009
3010
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
3011
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
3012
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
3013
3014
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
3015
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
3016
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
3017
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
3018
3019
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
3020
3021
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
3022
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
3023
3024
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
3025
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
3026
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
3027
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
3028
3029
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
3030
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
3031
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
3032
3033
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
3034
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
3035
them as full references rather than integers.
3036
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
3037
3038
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
3039
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
3040
3041
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
3042
3043
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
3044
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
3045
3046
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
3047
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
3048
3049
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
3050
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
3051
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
3052
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
3053
3054
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
3055
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
3056
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
3057
3058
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
3059
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
3060
3061
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
3062
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
3063
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
3064
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
3065
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
3066
3067
TESTING:
3068
3069
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
3070
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

3072
bzr 0.12 2006-10-30
3073
--------------------
3074
3075
INTERNALS:
3076
3077
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3078
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3079
(John Arbash Meinel)
3080
3081
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
3082
-----------------------
3083
3084
IMPROVEMENTS:
3085
3086
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
3087
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
3088
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
3089
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
3090
3091
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
3092
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
3093
3094
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
3095
3096
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
3097
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
3098
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
3099
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3100
3101
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
3102
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
3103
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
3104
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
3105
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
3106
3107
API INCOMPATABILITY:
3108
3109
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
3110
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
3111
3112
INTERNALS:
3113
3114
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
3115
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
3116
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3117
3118
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
3119
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
3120
(John Arbash Meinel)
3121
3122
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
3123
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
3124
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
3125
3126
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
3127
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
3128
(Aaron Bentley)
3129
3130
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
3131
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
3132
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3133
3134
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
3135
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
3136
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
3137
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
3138
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
3139
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3140
3141
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
3142
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
3143
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
3144
(Robert Collins)
3145
3146
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
3147
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
3148
3149
BUG FIXES:
3150
3151
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
3152
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
3153
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
3154
#63360, #66349)
3155
3156
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
3157
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
3158
3159
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
3160
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
3161
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
3162
3163
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
3164
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
3165
3166
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
3167
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
3168
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
3169
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
3170
3171
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
3172
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
3173
3174
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
3175
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
3176
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
3177
3178
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
3179
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
3180
3181
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3182
3183
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
3184
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
3185
#32054)
3186
3187
TESTING:
3188
3189
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
3190
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
3191
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
3192
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
3193
3194
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
3195
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
3196
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)

--------------------
3200
3201
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).

3205
3206
BUG FIXES:
3207
3208
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
3209
3210
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
3211
Arbash Meinel).

bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
3214
-----------------------
3215
3216
IMPROVEMENTS:
3217
3218
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
3219
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
3220
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
3221
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
3222
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
3223
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
3224
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
3225
3226
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
3227
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
3228
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
3229
3230
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
3231
3232
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
3233
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
3234
3235
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
3236
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
3237
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
3238
(Robert Collins)
3239
3240
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
3241
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
3242
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
3243
(John Arbash Meinel)
3244
3245
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
3246
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
3247
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
3248
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
3249
Pool)
3250
3251
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
3252
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
3253
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
3254
(John Arbash Meinel)
3255
3256
BUG FIXES:
3257
3258
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
3259
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
3260
3261
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
3262
3263
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
3264
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
3265
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
3266
3267
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
3268
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
3269
3270
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
3271
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
3272
3273
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
3274
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
3275
3276
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
3277
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
3278
3279
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
3280
3281
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
3282
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
3283
3284
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
3285
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
3286
3287
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
3288
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
3289
3290
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
3291
(John Arbash Meinel)
3292
3293
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
3294
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
3295
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
3296
3297
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
3298
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3299
3300
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
3301
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
3302
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
3303
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
3304
3305
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
3306
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
3307
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
3308
3309
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
3310
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
3311
3312
PORTABILITY:
3313
3314
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
3315
3316
INTERNALS:
3317
3318
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
3319
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
3320
(John Arbash Meinel)
3321
3322
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
3323
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
3324
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
3325
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3326
3327
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
3328
(Andrew Bennetts)
3329
3330
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
3331
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
3332
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
3333
3334
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
3335
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
3336
3337
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
3338
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
3339
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
3340
3341
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
3342
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
3343
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
3344
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
3345
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
3346
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
3347
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
3348
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
3349
caller to repeat their request.
3350
(John Arbash Meinel)
3351
3352
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
3353
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
3354
3355
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
3356
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
3357
3358
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
3359
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
3360
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
3361
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
3362
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
3363
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
3364
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
3365
3366
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
3367
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
3368
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
3369
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
3370
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
3371
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
3372
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
3373
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
3374
(Robert Collins)
3375
3376
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
3377
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
3378
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
3379
3380
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
3381
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
3382
3383
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
3384
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
3385
3386
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
3387
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3388
3389
TESTING:
3390
3391
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
3392
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
3393
3394
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
3395
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
3396
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3397
3398
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
3399
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
3400
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3401
3402
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
3403
--------------------
3404
3405
IMPROVEMENTS:
3406
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
3407
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
3408
3409
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
3410
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
3411
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
3412
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
3413
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
3414
3415
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
3416
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
3417
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
3418
3419
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
3420
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
3421
3422
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
3423
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
3424
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3425
3426
BUG FIXES:
3427
3428
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
3429
3430
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
3431
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
3432
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
3433
3434
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
3435
3436
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
3437
3438
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
3439
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
3440
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
3441
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
3442
3443
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
3444
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
3445
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
3446
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
3447
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
3448
3449
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
3450
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
3451
3452
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
3453
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
3454
3455
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
3456
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
3457
3458
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
3459
in handling of revision properties.
3460
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
3461
3462
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
3463
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
3464
3465
INTERNALS:
3466
3467
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
3468
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
3469
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
3470
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
3471
(John Arbash Meinel)
3472
3473
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
3474
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
3475
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
3476
3477
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
3478
---------------------
3479
3480
SURPRISES:
3481
3482
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
3483
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
3484
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
3485
specific one '.bzrignore'.
3486
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
3487
a more conservative list than the old default.
3488
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
3489
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
3490
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
3491
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
3492
3493
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
3494
to more locations than just branch locations.
3495
(Aaron Bentley)
3496
3497
IMPROVEMENTS:
3498
3499
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
3500
revno:N:branch. For example,
3501
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
3502
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
3503
3504
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
3505
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
3506
the path of a file that has been versioned.
3507
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
3508
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
3509
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
3510
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
3511
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
3512
#42517, #42514)
3513
3514
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
3515
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
3516
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
3517
(Malone #3507)
3518
3519
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
3520
(Alexander Belchenko)
3521
3522
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
3523
3524
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
3525
(Robert Collins).
3526
3527
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
3528
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
3529
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
3530
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
3531
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
3532
(John Arbash Meinel)
3533
3534
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
3535
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
3536
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
3537
grained analysis of performance.
3538
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3539
3540
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
3541
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
3542
3543
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
3544
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
3545
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
3546
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
3547
file. (Robert Collins).
3548
3549
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
3550
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
3551
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
3552
3553
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
3554
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
3555
Matthieu Moy)
3556
3557
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
3558
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
3559
3560
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
3561
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
3562
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
3563
the same way you would apply another branch.
3564
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
3565
3566
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
3567
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
3568
3569
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
3570
(Michael Ellerman)
3571
3572
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
3573
(Aaron Bentley)
3574
3575
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
3576
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
3577
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
3578
3579
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
3580
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
3581
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
3582
3583
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
3584
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
3585
3586
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
3587
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
3588
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
3589
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
3590
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
3591
3592
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
3593
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
3594
3595
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
3596
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
3597
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
3598
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
3599
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
3600
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
3601
branch is as much as 4x faster.
3602
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
3603
3604
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
3605
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
3606
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
3607
3608
BUG FIXES:
3609
3610
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
3611
tests not to run.
3612
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
3613
3614
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
3615
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3616
3617
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
3618
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)

3620
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
3621
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
3622
3623
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
3624
3625
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
3626
(John Arbash Meinel)
3627
3628
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
3629
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
3630
3631
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
3632
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
3633
and y.
3634
3635
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
3636
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
3637
3638
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
3639
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
3640
3641
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
3642
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
3643
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
3644
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
3645
3646
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
3647
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
3648
3649
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
3650
3651
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
3652
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)

3654
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
3655
3656
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
3657
3658
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
3659
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
3660
3661
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
3662
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
3663
3664
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
3665
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
3666
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
3667
3668
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
3669
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
3670
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
3671
3672
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
3673
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
3674
3675
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
3676
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
3677
3678
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
3679
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
3680
3681
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
3682
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
3683
3684
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
3685
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
3686
3687
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
3688
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
3689
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
3690
3691
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
3692
3693
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
3694
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
3695
3696
INTERNALS:
3697
3698
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
3699
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
3700
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
3701
3702
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
3703
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
3704
3705
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
3706
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
3707
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3708
3709
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
3710
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3711
3712
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
3713
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
3714
(Martin Pool)
3715
3716
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
3717
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
3718
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3719
3720
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
3721
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
3722
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3723
3724
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
3725
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
3726
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
3727
3728
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
3729
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
3730
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
3731
3732
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
3733
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
3734
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
3735
3736
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
3737
instead. (Robert Collins)
3738
3739
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
3797
-------------------
3798
3799
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3800
3801
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
3802
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
3803
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
3804
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
3805
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
3806
will keep the same format.
3807
3808
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
3809
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
3810
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
3811
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
3812
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
3813
3814
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
3815
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
3816
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
3817
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
3818
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
3819
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
3820
indicating the current revision of the branch.
3821
3822
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
3823
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
3824
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
3825
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
3826
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
3827
3828
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
3829
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
3830
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
3831
arrangement.
3832
3833
3834
IMPROVEMENTS:
3835
3836
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
3837
convention. Paths now take the form::
3838
3839
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
3840
or
3841
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
3842
3843
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
3844
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
3845
3846
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
3847
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
3848
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
3849
3850
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
3851
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
3852
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
3853
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
3854
3855
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
3856
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
3857
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
3858
3859
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
3860
3861
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
3862
3863
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
3864
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
3865
commits::
3866
3867
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
3868
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
3869
| xargs bzr re-sign
3870
3871
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
3872
3873
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
3874
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
3875
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
3876
(Robert Collins)
3877
3878
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
3879
3880
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
3881
3882
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
3883
'.moved'.
3884
3885
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
3886
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
3887
3888
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
3889
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
3890
Daniel Silverstone)
3891
3892
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
3893
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
3894
Martin Pool)
3895
3896
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
3897
3898
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
3899
3900
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
3901
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
3902
3903
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
3904
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
3905
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
3906
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
3907
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
3908
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
3909
3910
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
3911
3912
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
3913
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
3914
(Robert Collins)
3915
3916
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
3917
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
3918
3919
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
3920
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
3921
3922
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
3923
3924
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
3925
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
3926
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
3927
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
3928
specification by Martin Pool.
3929
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
3930
3931
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
3932
Belchenko)
3933
3934
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
3935
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3936
3937
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
3938
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
3939
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
3940
3941
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
3942
3943
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
3944
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
3945
(Robert Collins)
3946
3947
CHANGES:
3948
3949
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
3950
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3951
3952
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
3953
3954
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
3955
3956
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
3957
(Olaf Conradi)
3958
3959
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
3960
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
3961
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
3962
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
3963
3964
INTERNALS:
3965
3966
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
3967
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
3968
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
3969
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3970
3971
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
3972
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
3973
tried. (Martin Pool)
3974
3975
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
3976
(Martin Pool)
3977
3978
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
3979
3980
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
3981
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
3982
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
3983
3984
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
3985
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
3986
3987
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
3988
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
3989
paths. (Robert Collins)
3990
3991
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
3992
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
3993
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
3994
3995
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
3996
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
3997
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
3998
3999
* Progress bars are now nested - see
4000
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
4001
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4002
4003
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
4004
(Olaf Conradi)
4005
4006
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
4007
(Olaf Conradi)
4008
4009
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
4010
4011
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
4012
4013
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
4014
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
4015
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
4016
(Robert Collins)
4017
4018
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
4019
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
4020
4021
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
4022
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
4023
check. (Robert Collins)
4024
4025
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
4026
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
4027
4028
TESTING:
4029
4030
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
4031
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
4032
4033
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
4034
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
4035
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
4036
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
4037
4038
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
4039
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
4040
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
4041
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
4042
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
4043
4044
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
4045
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
4046
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
4047
4048
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
4049
4050
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
4051
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.

4054
------------------
4055
4056
CHANGES:
4057
4058
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
4059
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
4060
4061
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
4062
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
4063
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
4064
(Johan Rydberg)
4065
4066
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
4067
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
4068
4069
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
4070
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
4071
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
4072
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
4073
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4074
4075
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
4076
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
4077
used. (Robert Collins)
4078
4079
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
4080
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
4081
(James Henstridge)
4082
4083
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
4084
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
4085
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
4086
4087
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
4088
ignore list.
4089
4090
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
4091
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
4092
4093
IMPROVEMENTS:
4094
4095
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
4096
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
4097
4098
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
4099
4100
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
4101
4102
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
4103
tree. (Robert Collins)
4104
4105
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
4106
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
4107
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
4108
(Robert Collins)
4109
4110
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
4111
that they be kept.
4112
4113
* Tweaks to short log printing
4114
4115
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
4116
(Aaron Bentley)
4117
4118
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
4119
occurs. (Martin Pool)
4120
4121
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
4122
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
4123
4124
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
4125
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
4126
4127
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
4128
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
4129
settings. (Magnus Therning)
4130
4131
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
4132
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
4133
4134
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
4135
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
4136
requests.
4137
4138
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
4139
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
4140
4141
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
4142
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
4143
4144
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
4145
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
4146
4147
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
4148
(Denys Duchier)
4149
4150
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
4151
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
4152
4153
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
4154
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
4155
4156
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
4157
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
4158
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
4159
4160
BUG FIXES:
4161
4162
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
4163
4164
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4165
4166
* Error when run with -OO
4167
4168
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
4169
(Martin Pool)
4170
4171
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
4172
4173
* Change status to 3 for all errors
4174
4175
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
4176
ignored by diff and status
4177
4178
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
4179
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
4180
4181
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
4182
4183
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
4184
4185
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
4186
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
4187
4188
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
4189
email address. (Marien Zwart)
4190
4191
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
4192
(Harald Meland)
4193
4194
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
4195
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4196
4197
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
4198
4199
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
4200
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
4201
4202
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
4203
(Martin Pool)
4204
4205
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
4206
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
4207
4208
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
4209
4210
TESTING:
4211
4212
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
4213
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
4214
4215
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4216
4217
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4218
4219
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
4220
4221
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
4222
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
4223
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4224
4225
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4226
4227
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
4228
(John Arbash Meinel)
4229
4230
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
4231
4232
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
4233
If adding a new test script please add that to
4234
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
4235
4236
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
4237
imported. (Martin Pool)
4238
4239
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
4240
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
4241
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
4242
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
4243
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
4244
(Robert Collins)
4245
4246
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
4247
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
4248
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
4249
4250
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
4251
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
4252
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4253
4254
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
4255
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
4256
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
4257
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
4258
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
4259
(Robert Collins).
4260
4261
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
4262
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
4263
(Robert Collins).
4264
4265
INTERNALS:
4266
4267
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
4268
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
4269
4270
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
4271
function. (Robert Collins)
4272
4273
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
4274
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
4275
if needed). (Robert Collins)
4276
4277
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
4278
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
4279
(Robert Collins)
4280
4281
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
4282
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
4283
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
4284
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
4285
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
4286
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
4287
version. (Robert Collins)
4288
4289
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
4290
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
4291
4292
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
4293
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
4294
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
4295
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
4296
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
4297
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
4298
4299
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
4300
(Robert Collins)
4301
4302
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
4303
4304
add()
4305
commit()
4306
move()
4307
rename_one()
4308
unknowns()
4309
4310
(Robert Collins)
4311
4312
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
4313
4314
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
4315
4316
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
4317
Pool)
4318
4319
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
4320
query method. (Robert Collins)
4321
4322
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
4323
(Denys Duchier)
4324
4325
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
4326
(Michael Ellerman)
4327
4328
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
4329
(Michael Ellerman)
4330
4331
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
4332
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
4333
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
4334
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
4335
4336
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
4337
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
4338
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
4339
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
4340
4341
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
4342
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
4343

bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
4345
------------------
4346
4347
IMPROVEMENTS:
4348
4349
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
4350
(John A Meinel)
4351
4352
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
4353
conflicts.
4354
(Aaron Bentley)
4355
4356
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
4357
a separator, not ':'.
4358
(Aaron Bentley)
4359
4360
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
4361
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
4362
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
4363
4364
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
4365
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
4366
(Robert Collins)
4367
4368
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
4369
has been added that suppresses all output.
4370
4371
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
4372
Adams.
4373
4374
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
4375
Goffredo Baroncelli.
4376
4377
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
4378
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
4379
4380
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
4381
a revision. (Robert Collins)
4382
4383
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
4384
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
4385
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
4386
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
4387
4388
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
4389
4390
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
4391
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
4392
4393
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
4394
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
4395
4396
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
4397
output directory, if one was supplied.
4398
4399
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
4400
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
4401
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
4402
parameters. (Robert Collins)
4403
4404
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
4405
4406
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
4407
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
4408
4409
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
4410
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
4411
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
4412
4413
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
4414
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
4415
4416
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
4417
(Aaron Bentley)
4418
4419
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
4420
4421
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
4422
4423
TESTING:
4424
4425
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
4426
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
4427
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
4428
4429
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
4430
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
4431
related questions. (Robert Collins)
4432
4433
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
4434
is given. (Martin Pool)
4435
4436
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
4437
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
4438
file. (Robert Collins)
4439
4440
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
4441
(Martin Pool)
4442
4443
INTERNALS:
4444
4445
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
4446
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
4447
representation. (Martin Pool).
4448
4449
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
4450
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
4451
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
4452
4453
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4454
(Robert Collins)
4455
4456
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
4457
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
4458
Magnus Therning.
4459
4460
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4461
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
4462
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
4463
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
4464
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
4465
4466
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
4467
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
4468
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
4469
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
4470
python path. (Robert Collins)
4471
4472
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
4473
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
4474
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
4475
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
4476
4477
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
4478
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
4479
4480
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
4481
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
4482
(Robert Collins)
4483
4484
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
4485
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
4486
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
4487
4488
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
4489
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
4490
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
4491
4492
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4493
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4494
4495
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
4496
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
4497
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
4498
(Robert Collins)
4499
4500
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
4501
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
4502
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
4503
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
4504
(Robert Collins)
4505
4506
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
4507
(Robert Collins)
4508
4509
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
4510
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
4511
(Robert Collins)
4512
4513
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
4514
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
4515
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
4516
4517
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
4518
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
4519
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
4520
4521
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
4522
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
4523
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
4524
4525
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4526
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4527
4528
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
4529
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
4530
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
4531
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
4532
caller. (Robert Collins)
4533
4534
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
4535
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
4536
(Robert Collins).
4537
4538
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
4539
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
4540
(Aaron Bentley)
4541
4542
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
4543
4544
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
4545
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
4546
4547
BUG FIXES:
4548
4549
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
4550
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
4551
4552
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
4553
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
4554
4555
4556
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
4557
--------------------
4558
4559
BUG FIXES:
4560
4561
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
4562
allow directories to be listed.
4563
4564
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
4565
upgrading branch format.
4566
4567
PERFORMANCE:
4568
4569
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.

4573
------------------
4574
4575
NOTES:
4576
4577
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
4578
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
4579
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
4580
high-latency connections.
4581
4582
BUG FIXES:
4583
4584
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
4585
Rob Weir.
4586
4587
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
4588
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
4589
4590
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
4591
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
4592
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
4593
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4594
4595
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
4596
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
4597
4598
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
4599
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
4600
4601
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
4602
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
4603
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4604
4605
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
4606
for files with only a change to their executable status.
4607
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
4608
Robert Collins
4609
4610
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
4611
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
4612
4613
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
4614
different partial views of history.
4615
4616
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
4617
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
4618
4619
IMPROVEMENTS:
4620
4621
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
4622
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
4623
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4624
4625
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
4626
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
4627
'bzr upgrade'.
4628
4629
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
4630
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
4631
4632
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
4633
Niemeyer.
4634
4635
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
4636
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
4637
4638
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
4639
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
4640
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
4641
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4642
4643
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
4644
4645
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
4646
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
4647
Gustavo Niemeyer.
4648
4649
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
4650
Contributed by Robert Collins.
4651
4652
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
4653
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
4654
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
4655
4656
4657
INTERNALS:
4658
4659
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
4660
for your viewing pleasure.
4661
4662
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
4663
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
4664
4665
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
4666
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
4667
handling of such circumstances.
4668
4669
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
4670
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
4671
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
4672
4673
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
4674
4675
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
4676
we call them revisions not patches.
4677
4678
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
4679
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
4680
4681
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
4682
giving the revision *of that file*.
4683
4684
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
4685
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
4686
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
4687
4688
TESTING:
4689
4690
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
4691
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
4692
4693
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
4694
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``

4697
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
4698
--------------------
4699
4700
BUG FIXES:
4701
4702
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
4703
4704
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
4705
(Robert Collins).
4706
4707
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
4708
4709
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
4710
4711
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
4712
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4713
4714
IMPROVEMENTS:
4715
4716
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
4717
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
4718
4719
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
4720
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
4721
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
4722
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
4723
Robey Pointer
4724
4725
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
4726
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4727
4728
INTERNALS:
4729
4730
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
4731
4732
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
4733
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)

4735
4736
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
4737
--------------------
4738
4739
IMPROVEMENTS:
4740
4741
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
4742
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
4743
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
4744
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
4745
Michael Ellerman.
4746
4747
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
4748
(Nir Soffer)
4749
4750
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
4751
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
4752
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
4753
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
4754
for the operating system is still tried.
4755
4756
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
4757
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
4758
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
4759
4760
4761
INTERNALS:
4762
4763
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
4764
4765
BUG FIXES:
4766
4767
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
4768
4769
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
4770
branch.
4771
4772
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
4773
read.
4774
4775
4776
PORTABILITY:
4777
4778
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
4779
4780
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.

4784
--------------------
4785
4786
NEW FEATURES:
4787
4788
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
4789
help with intelligent shell completion.
4790
4791
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
4792
4793
4794
ENHANCEMENTS:
4795
4796
* Much better merge support.
4797
4798
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
4799
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
4800
like emacs smerge.
4801
4802
4803
BUG FIXES:
4804
4805
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
4806
mention revisions that are not present.
4807
4808
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
4809
4810
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
4811
4812
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
4813
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
4814
4815
4816
CHANGES:
4817
4818
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
4819
4820
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
4821
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
4822
--help themselves.
4823
4824
4825
LIBRARY:
4826
4827
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
4828
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
4829
libraries.

FOO.
4848
4849
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
4850
4851
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
4852
the Unix command.
4853
4854
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
4855
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
4856
4857
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
4858
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
4859
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
4860
4861

CHANGES:
17
4868
4869
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
4870
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
4871
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
4872
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
4873
4874
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
4875
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
4876
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
4877
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
4878
standard plugins directory.
4879
18
4880
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
19
4881
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
20
4882
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
21
option. Patch from William Dod� and John Meinel.
4883
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
22
4884
23
4885
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
24
4886
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
33
4895
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
34
4896
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
35
4897
4898
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
4899
line options must come before the command name because they
4900
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
4901
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
4902
it.
4903
4904
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
4905
4906
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
4907
is available with ``--short``.
4908
4909
4910
BUG FIXES:
