12
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
13
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
14
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
15
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
16
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
21
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
22
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
24
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
25
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
26
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
28
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
29
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
30
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
31
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
32
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
33
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
38
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
39
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
41
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
42
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
43
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
46
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
47
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
48
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
49
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
50
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
52
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
53
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
54
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
55
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
56
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
57
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
58
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
59
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
63
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
64
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
66
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
67
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
69
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
70
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
72
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
73
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
74
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
76
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
77
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
82
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
83
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
85
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
86
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
88
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
89
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
91
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
92
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
94
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
95
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
96
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
97
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
98
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
100
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
102
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
103
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
106
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
107
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
109
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
110
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
112
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
113
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
115
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
116
more characters which should be considered valid.
117
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
119
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
120
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
122
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
123
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
127
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
128
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
130
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
131
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
136
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
137
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
142
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
143
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
144
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
146
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
147
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
148
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
150
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
151
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
152
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
153
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
155
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
157
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
158
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
159
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
160
server. (Robert Collins)
162
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
163
operate. (Robert Collins)
165
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
166
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
167
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
169
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
170
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
171
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
172
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
174
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
175
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
177
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
178
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
179
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
181
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
182
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
184
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
185
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
186
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
187
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)
189
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
190
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
196
(no changes from 1.1rc1)
198
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
199
---------------------
203
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
204
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
205
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
206
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
208
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
209
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
210
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
211
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
215
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
218
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
221
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
222
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
226
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
229
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
230
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
231
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
233
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
235
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
236
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
237
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
238
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
239
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
241
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
242
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
243
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
245
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
246
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
248
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
251
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
253
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
255
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
258
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
259
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
263
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
264
(Martin Pool, #180208)
266
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
267
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
269
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
272
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
273
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
275
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
276
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
278
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
279
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
281
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
282
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
284
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
285
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
286
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
288
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
289
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
291
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
292
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
295
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
297
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
298
user:pass embedded in the urls.
299
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
301
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
302
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
304
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
307
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
310
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
311
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
313
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
316
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
317
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
320
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
321
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
322
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
326
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
329
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
330
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
331
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
332
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
333
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
334
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
336
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
340
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
343
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
344
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
346
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
348
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
349
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
350
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
353
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
354
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
356
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
363
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
364
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
365
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
367
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
368
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
371
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
372
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
374
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
375
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
377
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
378
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
380
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
381
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
382
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
384
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
385
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
387
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
388
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
390
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
391
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
394
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
395
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
397
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
398
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)
406
* More improvements and fixes to the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
408
* Add information on cherrypicking/rebasing to the User Guide.
411
* Improve bug tracker integration documentation. (Ian Clatworthy)
413
* Minor edits to ``Bazaar in five minutes`` from David Roberts and
414
to the rebasing section of the User Guide from Aaron Bentley.
418
bzr 1.0rc3 2007-12-11
419
---------------------
423
* If a traceback occurs, users are now asked to report the bug
424
through Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/), rather than
425
by mail to the mailing list.
430
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
432
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
433
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
434
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
435
feedback but also incur more latency.
436
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)
438
* Implement _make_parents_provider on RemoteRepository, allowing generating
439
bundles against branches on a smart server. (Andrew Bennetts, #147836)
443
* Improved user guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
445
* The single-page quick reference guide is now available as a PDF.
450
* readv urllib http implementation is now a real iterator above the
451
underlying socket and deliver data as soon as it arrives. 'get' still
452
wraps its output in a StringIO.
456
bzr 1.0rc2 2007-12-07
457
---------------------
461
* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
463
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
466
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
469
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
470
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
471
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
472
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
474
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
477
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
478
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
480
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
481
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
482
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
484
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
485
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
486
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
487
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
488
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
489
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
490
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
491
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
492
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
496
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
499
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
503
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
504
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
506
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
508
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
510
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
511
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
513
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
515
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
516
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
518
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
519
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
523
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
524
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)
527
bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
528
---------------------
530
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
532
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
533
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
534
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
535
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
537
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
538
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
540
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
541
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
543
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
544
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
545
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
546
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
547
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
548
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
549
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
550
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
551
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
552
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
553
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
554
from any tree without problems.
555
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
559
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
560
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
561
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
563
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
564
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
565
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
570
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
571
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
572
supported transports.
575
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
576
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
577
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
579
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
580
(Robert Collins, #154173)
582
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
583
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
584
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
585
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
587
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
588
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
592
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
593
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
594
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
595
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
597
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
598
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
599
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
600
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
602
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
603
(Robert Collins, #88319)
605
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
606
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
608
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
609
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
611
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
612
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
617
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
620
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
621
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
624
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
625
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
626
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
627
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
629
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
630
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
631
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
632
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)
638
* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
639
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
641
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
642
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)

645
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
647
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
648
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
650
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
651
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
653
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
654
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
656
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
657
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
659
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
662
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
663
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
665
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
666
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
667
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
669
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
670
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
672
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
673
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
675
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
676
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
678
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
679
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
681
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
682
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
683
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
684
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
686
(Martin Pool, #164637)
688
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
689
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
690
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
692
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
693
(Robert Collins, #161240)
695
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
697
(Martin Pool, #164443)
699
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
700
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
702
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
703
specify a port in urls.
704
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
706
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
707
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
709
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
710
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
712
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
713
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
715
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
716
(Robert Collins, #153789)
718
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
719
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
720
(Robert Collins, #165304).
722
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
724
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
725
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
727
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
730
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
731
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
733
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
734
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
736
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
737
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
738
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
740
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
741
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
743
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
744
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
745
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
746
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
748
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
749
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
751
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
752
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
753
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
755
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
756
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
758
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
759
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
761
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
762
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
766
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
767
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
769
* The return value of
770
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
771
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
772
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
773
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
775
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
778
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
779
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
785
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
786
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
787
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
790
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
791
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
793
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.
803
* New uninstaller on Win32. (Alexander Belchenko)
806
bzr 0.92rc1 2007-10-29
807
----------------------
809
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
813
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
814
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
816
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
817
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
818
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
819
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
820
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
821
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
822
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
823
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
824
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
825
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
826
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
827
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
832
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
833
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
834
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
835
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
836
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
837
for further details. (Robert Collins)
839
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
840
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
841
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
844
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
846
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
847
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
849
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
850
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
853
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
854
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
855
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
859
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
860
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
862
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
863
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
865
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
866
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
867
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
868
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
870
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
873
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
874
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
875
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
876
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
878
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
879
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
881
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
882
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
884
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
885
the contents. (Robert Collins)
887
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
888
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
892
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
893
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
895
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
896
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
898
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
899
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
901
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
902
(Martin Pool, #63894)
904
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
905
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
909
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
911
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
916
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
917
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
918
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
920
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
921
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
923
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
924
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
926
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
927
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
928
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
929
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
931
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
932
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
933
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
934
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
935
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
937
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
938
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
940
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
942
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
944
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
945
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
947
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
948
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
950
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
951
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
953
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
954
contains a symbolic link.
955
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
957
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
958
(James Westby, #140615)
960
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
961
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
962
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
964
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
965
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
966
(Martin Pool, #144633)
968
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
970
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
971
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
973
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
975
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
977
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
978
directory to detect leaking tests.
979
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
981
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
982
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
983
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
985
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
988
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
989
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
991
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
996
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
997
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
999
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
1000
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
1001
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
1003
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
1004
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
1005
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
1007
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
1008
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
1010
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
1011
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
1013
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
1014
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
1017
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
1018
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
1020
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
1021
class that needs it.
1024
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
1025
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
1027
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
1028
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
1029
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
1031
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
1032
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
1033
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
1036
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
1037
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
1038
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
1039
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
1044
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
1045
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
1046
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
1048
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
1049
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
1050
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
1051
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
1053
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
1054
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
1057
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
1058
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
1059
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
1061
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
1062
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
1063
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
1065
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
1066
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
1068
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
1069
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
1070
to complete. (Robert Collins)
1072
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
1073
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
1075
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
1076
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
1077
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
1079
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
1080
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
1081
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
1083
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
1084
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
1085
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
1086
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
1088
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
1089
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
1090
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
1091
returned. (Robert Collins)
1093
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
1094
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
1096
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
1097
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
1098
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
1099
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
1102
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
1103
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
1107
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
1108
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
1110
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
1111
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
1112
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
1113
makes this behavior available to other users.
1116
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
1117
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
1125
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1126
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1127
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1129
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1131
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
1132
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
1133
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
1134
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
1136
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
1137
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
1141
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
1142
----------------------
1144
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
1145
in bzrlib/remote.py.
1148
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
1149
----------------------
1153
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
1154
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
1155
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
1156
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
1159
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
1160
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
1161
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
1166
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
1167
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
1168
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
1171
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
1172
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
1173
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
1175
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
1176
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
1177
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
1179
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
1180
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
1182
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
1183
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
1184
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
1185
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
1186
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
1187
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
1188
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
1189
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
1190
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
1191
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
1193
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
1194
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
1196
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
1197
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
1198
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1202
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
1203
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
1205
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
1206
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
1207
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
1209
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
1210
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
1212
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
1213
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
1215
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
1218
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
1219
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
1221
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
1222
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
1224
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
1225
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1227
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
1228
(Blake Winton, #129299)
1230
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
1232
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
1235
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
1236
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
1237
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
1238
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
1240
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1242
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
1243
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
1246
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
1247
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
1249
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
1250
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
1253
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
1254
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
1256
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
1257
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
1259
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
1260
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
1261
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
1262
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
1263
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
1264
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
1265
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
1267
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
1268
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
1270
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
1271
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
1273
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
1274
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
1276
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
1277
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
1279
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
1281
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
1283
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
1284
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
1286
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
1287
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
1288
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
1290
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1291
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1292
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1296
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
1297
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1299
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
1302
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
1305
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
1306
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1308
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
1310
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
1311
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
1313
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
1314
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
1316
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
1317
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
1318
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
1319
space). (Robert Collins)
1321
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
1322
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
1325
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
1326
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1328
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
1329
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
1331
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
1332
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
1333
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
1334
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
1336
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
1337
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
1338
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
1341
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
1344
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
1345
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
1346
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
1348
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
1349
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
1350
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
1351
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
1352
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
1356
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
1357
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
1359
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
1360
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
1361
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
1362
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
1363
affected. (Robert Collins)
1365
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
1366
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
1367
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
1370
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1371
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1375
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
1376
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
1378
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
1379
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1381
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1382
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1384
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
1387
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
1388
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1392
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
1393
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
1394
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
1395
its version information. (Robert Collins)
1397
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
1398
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1400
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
1401
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
1402
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
1403
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1405
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
1406
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
1407
present. (Robert Collins)
1409
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
1410
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
1411
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
1412
API. (Robert Collins)
1414
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
1415
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
1418
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
1419
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
1421
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
1422
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
1423
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
1424
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
1425
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
1426
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
1428
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
1429
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
1430
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
1432
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
1433
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
1434
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
1435
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
1438
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
1441
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
1442
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
1443
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
1444
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
1445
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
1446
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
1447
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
1449
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
1450
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
1451
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
1452
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
1454
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
1455
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
1456
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
1457
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
1458
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
1459
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
1461
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
1462
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
1463
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
1465
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
1466
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1474
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
1475
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
1476
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
1477
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
1478
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
1479
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
1480
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
1481
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
1486
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
1487
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
1488
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
1491
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
1492
----------------------
1496
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
1497
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
1498
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
1499
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
1500
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
1502
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
1503
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
1505
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
1507
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
1509
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
1510
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
1513
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
1514
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
1517
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
1520
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
1521
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
1523
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
1524
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
1526
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
1527
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
1529
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
1530
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
1532
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
1533
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
1535
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
1540
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
1541
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
1543
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
1544
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
1546
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
1547
the repository (Robert Collins)
1549
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
1550
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
1551
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
1552
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
1553
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
1555
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
1556
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1558
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
1559
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
1560
(John Arbash Meinel)
1562
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
1563
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
1564
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
1566
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
1567
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
1568
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
1569
(John Arbash Meinel)
1571
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
1572
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
1575
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
1576
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
1578
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
1581
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
1583
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
1585
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
1586
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
1588
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
1589
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
1592
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
1593
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
1594
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
1595
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1597
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
1598
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
1599
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
1601
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
1602
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
1603
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
1605
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
1606
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
1608
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
1609
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
1610
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
1611
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
1612
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
1613
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
1616
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
1617
(Alexander Belchenko)
1619
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
1620
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
1622
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
1623
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
1625
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
1627
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
1628
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
1632
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
1633
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
1634
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
1635
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
1637
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
1639
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
1642
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
1643
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
1644
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
1645
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
1646
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
1647
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
1651
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
1652
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
1653
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
1654
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
1656
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
1657
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
1658
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
1659
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
1660
tests have been refactored too.
1663
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
1664
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
1665
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
1669
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
1670
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
1671
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1673
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
1674
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
1675
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
1676
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
1677
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
1678
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
1679
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
1681
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
1682
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
1683
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
1684
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
1685
(John Arbash Meinel)
1687
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
1688
functionality for testing.
1690
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
1692
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
1693
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1695
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
1697
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
1700
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
1701
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
1703
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
1704
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
1705
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
1707
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
1710
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
1711
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
1713
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
1714
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
1715
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
1716
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
1718
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
1719
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
1721
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
1722
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
1723
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
1725
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
1728
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
1729
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
1730
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
1731
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
1732
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
1733
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
1735
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
1736
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
1737
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
1738
many files. (Robert Collins)
1740
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
1741
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
1742
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
1743
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
1747
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
1748
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
1749
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
1751
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
1752
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
1754
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
1755
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
1756
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

1772
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
1773
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
1775
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
1776
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
1777
(James Westby, #122656)
1779
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
1780
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
1782
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
1783
authentication header.
1784
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
1786
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
1788
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
1789
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
1791
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
1793
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
1794
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
1796
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
1797
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
1798
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
1800
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
1801
individually and as part of revision ranges.
1802
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
1804
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
1805
(Martin Pool, #109169)
1807
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
1808
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
1810
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
1811
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
1813
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1815
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
1819
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
1820
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
1821
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
1822
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
1823
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
1824
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
1826
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
1827
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
1828
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
1830
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
1833
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
1834
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
1836
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
1837
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
1839
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
1840
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
1842
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
1843
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
1844
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
1845
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
1846
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
1848
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
1849
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
1851
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
1852
can be slow it is useful feedback).
1853
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
1855
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
1856
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
1858
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
1860
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
1861
output. (Aaron Bentley)
1863
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
1864
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
1867
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
1870
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
1871
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
1873
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
1874
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
1876
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
1877
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
1879
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
1881
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
1882
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
1884
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
1889
* Testing cleanups -
1890
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1891
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
1892
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
1893
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
1894
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1895
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
1896
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1897
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
1898
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1899
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
1900
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
1901
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
1902
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1903
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
1904
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
1905
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
1906
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
1909
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
1911
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
1912
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
1913
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
1915
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
1916
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
1918
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
1919
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1921
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
1923
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
1924
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
1925
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
1926
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
1927
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
1928
same location. (Robert Collins)
1932
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
1934
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
1936
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
1938
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
1941
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
1944
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
1945
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
1946
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
1948
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
1950
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
1951
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
1952
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
1954
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
1955
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
1957
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
1958
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
1959
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
1961
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
1962
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
1963
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
1965
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
1966
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
1967
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
1969
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
1970
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
1973
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
1974
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
1976
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
1977
(Alexander Belchenko)
1981
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
1982
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
1983
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
1984
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1986
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
1987
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
1988
testing. (Robert Collins)
1990
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
1991
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
1993
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
1994
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
1995
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
1996
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
1997
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
1998
attribute during the test parameterisation in
1999
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
2001
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
2002
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
2003
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
2004
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
2006
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
2007
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
2009
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
2010
avoid useless cloning.
2011
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110448)
2015
--------------------
2019
* Fix crash of commit due to wrong lookup of filesystem encoding.
2020
(Colin Watson, #120647)
2022
* Revert logging just to stderr in commit as broke unicode filenames.
2023
(Aaron Bentley, Ian Clatworthy, #120930)
2026
bzr 0.17rc1 2007-06-12
2027
-----------------------
2029
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2031
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
2032
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
2033
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
2034
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
2035
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
2036
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
2037
and unlock() like so::
2039
work_tree.lock_read()
2041
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
2046
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
2047
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
2049
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
2050
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
2051
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
2053
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
2054
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
2055
too. (Robert Collins)
2059
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
2060
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
2063
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
2064
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
2066
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
2067
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
2069
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
2070
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
2071
understanding what changes have occurred
2072
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
2074
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
2075
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
2076
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2078
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
2079
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
2080
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
2081
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
2083
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
2088
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
2089
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
2090
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
2091
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
2092
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
2094
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
2095
based on split paths, not just string paths.
2096
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
2098
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
2099
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
2101
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
2103
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
2105
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
2106
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
2108
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
2109
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
2111
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
2112
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
2114
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
2115
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
2117
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
2118
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
2120
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
2121
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
2122
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
2125
--------------------
2129
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
2130
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
2131
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
2132
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
2133
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
2135
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
2136
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
2137
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
2139
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
2140
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
2144
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
2145
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
2146
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
2148
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
2149
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
2150
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
2151
both. (John Arbash Meinel)
2153
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
2154
-----------------------
2158
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
2159
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
2160
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
2161
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
2163
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
2164
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
2165
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
2167
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
2168
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
2170
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
2171
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
2173
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
2174
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
2176
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
2177
-----------------------
2179
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2181
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
2182
it could be recovered again.
2183
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
2184
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
2185
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
2187
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
2189
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
2190
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
2194
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
2195
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
2197
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
2198
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
2199
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
2200
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
2202
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
2203
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
2205
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
2206
tests with names that match that regular expression.
2207
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
2209
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
2210
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
2211
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
2213
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
2214
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
2215
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
2217
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
2218
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
2221
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
2224
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
2225
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
2226
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
2227
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
2229
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
2232
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
2233
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
2234
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
2237
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
2238
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
2240
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
2241
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
2243
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
2244
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
2245
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
2246
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
2249
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
2250
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
2252
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
2253
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2255
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
2256
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
2257
(Robert Collins, #107125).
2259
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
2260
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
2261
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
2263
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
2264
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
2265
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2267
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
2268
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
2269
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
2270
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
2272
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
2273
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
2274
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
2275
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
2277
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
2278
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
2279
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
2280
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
2281
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
2282
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
2283
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
2284
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
2290
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
2291
code paths. (Robert Collins)
2293
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
2294
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
2295
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
2296
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
2297
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2299
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
2300
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
2302
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
2303
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
2305
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
2306
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
2308
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
2309
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
2311
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
2312
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
2313
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
2316
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
2317
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
2318
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
2319
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
2320
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
2323
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
2324
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
2325
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
2327
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
2328
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
2331
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
2332
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
2333
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
2336
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
2337
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
2338
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
2339
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
2340
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
2342
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
2343
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
2344
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
2345
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2347
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
2348
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2350
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
2351
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
2352
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
2353
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
2354
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
2355
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
2357
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
2358
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
2360
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
2361
help. (Robert Collins)
2363
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
2364
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2366
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
2367
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
2368
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
2369
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
2370
(John Arbash Meinel)
2372
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
2373
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
2374
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
2375
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
2376
useful. (Robert Collins)
2378
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
2383
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
2384
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
2386
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
2387
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
2389
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
2390
properly and is no longer beneficial.
2391
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
2393
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
2396
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
2397
the file, and does it faster.
2398
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
2400
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
2401
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
2402
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
2404
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
2405
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
2406
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
2407
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
2409
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
2410
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
2411
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
2412
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
2414
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
2415
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
2417
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
2418
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
2419
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
2420
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
2423
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
2425
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
2426
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
2428
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
2429
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
2431
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
2432
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
2433
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
2434
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
2438
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
2439
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
2443
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
2444
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
2445
in running it. (Robert Collins)
2447
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
2448
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
2450
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
2451
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
2452
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
2453
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
2454
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
2455
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
2456
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
2457
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2459
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
2460
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
2461
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2463
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
2464
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
2465
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
2466
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
2467
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
2469
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2471
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
2472
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
2473
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
2475
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
2476
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.
2484
* Handle incompatible repositories as a user issue when fetching.
2487
* Don't give a recommendation to upgrade when branching or
2488
checking out a branch that contains an old-format working tree.
2491
bzr 0.15rc3 2007-03-26
2492
-----------------------
2496
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
2497
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
2502
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
2503
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
2504
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
2505
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
2506
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
2507
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
2508
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
2509
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
2514
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
2515
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
2516
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
2518
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
2519
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
2522
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
2523
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
2524
(John Arbash Meinel)
2526
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
2527
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
2528
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
2529
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
2530
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
2534
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
2537
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
2538
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
2540
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
2541
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
2543
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
2544
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
2545
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
2547
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
2548
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
2550
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
2551
last-changed-revision for directories. The
2552
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
2553
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
2554
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
2556
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
2557
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
2558
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
2560
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.
2563
bzr 0.15rc2 2007-03-14
2564
-----------------------
2566
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2568
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
2569
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
2570
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
2574
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
2575
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
2577
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
2578
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
2580
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
2582
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
2583
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
2585
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
2586
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
2590
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
2595
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
2596
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
2597
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
2598
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
2600
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
2601
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
2603
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
2604
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
2606
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
2609
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.
2610
(Wouter van Heyst, #53483)
2613
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
2614
-----------------------
2618
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
2619
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
2620
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
2621
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
2622
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
2623
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
2625
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
2626
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
2627
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
2628
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
2629
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
2630
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
2632
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2634
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
2635
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
2636
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
2637
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
2638
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
2639
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
2640
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
2641
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2645
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
2646
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
2648
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
2649
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
2650
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
2651
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
2653
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
2654
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
2655
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
2656
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
2657
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
2659
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
2662
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
2665
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
2668
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
2669
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
2672
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
2675
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
2676
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
2678
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
2679
directory. (Martin Pool)
2681
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
2682
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
2683
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
2684
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
2686
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
2687
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
2688
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
2689
in docs/configuration.txt.
2691
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
2692
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
2695
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
2696
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
2697
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
2698
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
2699
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
2700
repositories. (Martin Pool)
2702
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
2703
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2705
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
2706
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
2708
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
2713
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
2714
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
2715
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
2716
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
2717
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
2718
(John Arbash Meinel)
2720
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
2721
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
2724
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
2725
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
2726
(John Arbash Meinel)
2728
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
2729
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
2730
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
2731
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
2732
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
2733
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
2735
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
2736
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
2737
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
2739
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
2740
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
2741
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
2742
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
2744
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2746
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
2747
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
2748
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
2749
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
2751
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
2752
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
2753
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
2754
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
2756
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
2757
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
2758
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
2760
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
2761
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
2762
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
2764
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
2765
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
2766
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
2767
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
2769
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
2770
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
2771
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
2773
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
2774
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
2775
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
2777
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
2778
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
2779
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
2780
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
2781
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
2782
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
2783
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
2784
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
2785
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
2786
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
2787
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
2791
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
2792
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
2793
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
2795
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
2798
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
2799
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
2800
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
2801
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
2803
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
2804
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
2807
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
2808
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
2810
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
2812
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
2813
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
2814
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
2816
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
2817
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
2819
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
2820
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
2822
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
2823
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
2825
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
2826
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
2828
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
2830
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
2831
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
2835
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
2836
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)
2840
--------------------
2844
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
2848
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
2849
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
2850
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
2852
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
2853
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
2854
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)
2857
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
2858
-----------------------
2862
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
2863
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
2864
server, then you can write over the http connection.
2865
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2867
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
2870
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
2871
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
2872
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2874
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
2875
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
2877
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
2880
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
2881
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
2882
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
2883
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
2884
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
2885
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
2887
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
2888
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
2889
should enable you to do::
2891
[/home/user/project]
2892
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
2893
push_location:policy = appendpath
2895
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
2896
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
2899
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
2900
for each file. For example::
2902
$ bzr status --short
2908
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
2909
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
2911
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
2913
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
2914
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
2916
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
2920
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
2921
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
2922
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
2923
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
2925
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
2926
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
2927
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
2929
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
2931
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
2932
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
2933
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
2934
(Alexander Belchenko)
2936
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
2939
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
2940
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
2942
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
2946
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
2947
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
2949
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
2950
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
2951
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
2952
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
2953
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
2955
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
2956
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
2958
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
2959
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
2961
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
2963
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
2965
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
2966
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
2967
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
2968
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
2969
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
2971
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
2972
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
2973
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
2974
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
2976
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
2977
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
2979
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
2980
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
2982
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
2983
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
2985
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

No changes from 0.13rc1

bzr 0.13rc1 2006-11-27
2995
-----------------------
2999
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
3001
(Daniel Silverstone)
3003
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
3004
operations are substantially faster.
3005
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
3007
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
3008
tree from some other url. For example:
3009
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
3010
(Daniel Silverstone)
3012
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
3013
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
3014
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
3015
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
3017
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
3020
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
3021
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
3022
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
3023
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
3024
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
3025
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
3029
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
3030
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
3033
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3034
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3035
(John Arbash Meinel)
3037
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
3038
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
3039
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
3040
(John Arbash Meinel)
3042
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
3043
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
3045
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
3046
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3048
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
3049
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
3054
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
3055
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
3056
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
3058
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
3059
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
3060
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
3061
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
3063
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
3065
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
3066
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
3068
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
3069
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
3070
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
3071
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
3073
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
3074
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
3075
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
3077
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
3078
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
3079
them as full references rather than integers.
3080
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
3082
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
3083
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
3085
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
3087
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
3088
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
3090
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
3091
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
3093
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
3094
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
3095
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
3096
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
3098
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
3099
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
3100
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
3102
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
3103
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
3105
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
3106
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
3107
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
3108
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
3109
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
3113
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
3114
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).
3117
--------------------
3121
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3122
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3123
(John Arbash Meinel)
3125
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
3126
-----------------------
3130
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
3131
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
3132
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
3133
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
3135
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
3136
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
3138
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
3140
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
3141
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
3142
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
3143
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3145
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
3146
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
3147
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
3148
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
3149
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
3151
API INCOMPATABILITY:
3153
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
3154
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
3158
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
3159
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
3160
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3162
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
3163
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
3164
(John Arbash Meinel)
3166
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
3167
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
3168
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
3170
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
3171
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
3174
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
3175
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
3176
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3178
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
3179
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
3180
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
3181
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
3182
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
3183
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3185
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
3186
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
3187
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
3190
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
3191
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
3195
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
3196
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
3197
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
3200
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
3201
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
3203
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
3204
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
3205
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
3207
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
3208
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
3210
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
3211
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
3212
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
3213
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
3215
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
3216
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
3218
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
3219
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
3220
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
3222
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
3223
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
3225
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3227
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
3228
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
3233
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
3234
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
3235
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
3236
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
3238
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
3239
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
3240
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3243
--------------------
3245
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
3247
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
3248
-----------------------
3252
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
3254
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
3257
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
3258
-----------------------
3262
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
3263
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
3264
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
3265
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
3266
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
3267
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
3268
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
3270
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
3271
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
3272
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
3274
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
3276
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
3277
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
3279
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
3280
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
3281
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
3284
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
3285
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
3286
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
3287
(John Arbash Meinel)
3289
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
3290
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
3291
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
3292
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
3295
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
3296
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
3297
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
3298
(John Arbash Meinel)
3302
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
3303
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
3305
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
3307
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
3308
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
3309
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
3311
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
3312
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
3314
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
3315
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
3317
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
3318
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
3320
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
3321
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
3323
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
3325
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
3326
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
3328
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
3329
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
3331
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
3332
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
3334
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
3335
(John Arbash Meinel)
3337
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
3338
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
3339
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
3341
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
3342
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3344
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
3345
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
3346
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
3347
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
3349
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
3350
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
3351
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
3353
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
3354
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
3358
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
3362
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
3363
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
3364
(John Arbash Meinel)
3366
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
3367
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
3368
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
3369
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3371
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
3374
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
3375
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
3376
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
3378
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
3379
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
3381
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
3382
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
3383
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
3385
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
3386
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
3387
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
3388
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
3389
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
3390
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
3391
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
3392
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
3393
caller to repeat their request.
3394
(John Arbash Meinel)
3396
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
3397
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
3399
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
3400
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
3402
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
3403
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
3404
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
3405
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
3406
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
3407
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
3408
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
3410
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
3411
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
3412
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
3413
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
3414
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
3415
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
3416
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
3417
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
3420
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
3421
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
3422
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
3424
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
3425
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
3427
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
3428
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
3430
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
3431
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3435
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
3436
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
3438
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
3439
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
3440
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3442
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
3443
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
3444
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3447
--------------------
3450
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
3451
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
3453
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
3454
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
3455
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
3456
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
3457
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
3459
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
3460
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
3461
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
3463
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
3464
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
3466
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
3467
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
3468
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3472
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
3474
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
3475
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
3476
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
3478
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
3480
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
3482
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
3483
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
3484
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
3485
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
3487
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
3488
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
3489
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
3490
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
3491
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
3493
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
3494
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
3496
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
3497
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
3499
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
3500
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
3502
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
3503
in handling of revision properties.
3504
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
3506
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
3507
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
3511
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
3512
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
3513
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
3514
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
3515
(John Arbash Meinel)
3517
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
3518
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
3519
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
3521
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
3522
---------------------
3526
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
3527
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
3528
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
3529
specific one '.bzrignore'.
3530
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
3531
a more conservative list than the old default.
3532
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
3533
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
3534
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
3535
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
3537
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
3538
to more locations than just branch locations.
3543
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
3544
revno:N:branch. For example,
3545
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
3546
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
3548
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
3549
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
3550
the path of a file that has been versioned.
3551
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
3552
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
3553
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
3554
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
3555
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
3558
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
3559
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
3560
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
3563
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
3564
(Alexander Belchenko)
3566
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
3568
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
3571
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
3572
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
3573
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
3574
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
3575
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
3576
(John Arbash Meinel)
3578
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
3579
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
3580
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
3581
grained analysis of performance.
3582
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3584
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
3585
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
3587
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
3588
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
3589
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
3590
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
3591
file. (Robert Collins).
3593
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
3594
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
3595
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
3597
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
3598
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
3601
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
3602
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
3604
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
3605
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
3606
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
3607
the same way you would apply another branch.
3608
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
3610
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
3611
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
3613
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
3616
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
3619
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
3620
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
3621
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
3623
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
3624
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
3625
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
3627
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
3628
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
3630
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
3631
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
3632
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
3633
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
3634
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
3636
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
3637
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
3639
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
3640
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
3641
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
3642
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
3643
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
3644
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
3645
branch is as much as 4x faster.
3646
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
3648
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
3649
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
3650
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
3654
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
3656
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
3658
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
3659
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3661
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
3662
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
3664
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
3665
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
3667
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
3669
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
3670
(John Arbash Meinel)
3672
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
3673
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
3675
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
3676
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
3679
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
3680
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
3682
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
3683
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
3685
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
3686
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
3687
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
3688
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
3690
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
3691
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
3693
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
3695
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
3696
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
3698
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
3700
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
3702
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
3703
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
3705
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
3706
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
3708
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
3709
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
3710
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
3712
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
3713
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
3714
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
3716
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
3717
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
3719
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
3720
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
3722
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
3723
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
3725
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
3726
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
3728
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
3729
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
3731
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
3732
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
3733
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
3735
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
3737
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
3738
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
3742
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
3743
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
3744
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
3746
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
3747
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
3749
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
3750
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
3751
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3753
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
3754
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3756
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
3757
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
3760
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
3761
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
3762
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3764
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
3765
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
3766
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3768
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
3769
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
3770
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
3772
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
3773
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
3774
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
3776
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
3777
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
3778
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
3780
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
3781
instead. (Robert Collins)
3783
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)
3785
bzr 0.8.2 2006-05-17
3786
---------------------
3790
* setup.py failed to install launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
3792
bzr 0.8.1 2006-05-16
3793
---------------------
3797
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
3798
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
3800
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
3801
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3803
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
3804
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
3805
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
3809
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
3811
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
3812
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
3814
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
3818
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
3819
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
3820
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
3821
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
3825
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
3826
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
3827
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
3831
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
3832
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
3833
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3837
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
3838
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
3843
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3845
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
3846
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
3847
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
3848
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
3849
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
3850
will keep the same format.
3852
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
3853
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
3854
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
3855
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
3856
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
3858
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
3859
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
3860
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
3861
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
3862
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
3863
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
3864
indicating the current revision of the branch.
3866
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
3867
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
3868
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
3869
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
3870
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
3872
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
3873
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
3874
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
3880
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
3881
convention. Paths now take the form::
3883
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
3885
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
3887
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
3888
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
3890
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
3891
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
3892
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
3894
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
3895
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
3896
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
3897
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
3899
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
3900
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
3901
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
3903
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
3905
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
3907
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
3908
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
3911
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
3912
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
3915
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
3917
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
3918
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
3919
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
3922
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
3924
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
3926
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
3929
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
3930
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
3932
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
3933
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
3936
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
3937
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
3940
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
3942
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
3944
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
3945
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
3947
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
3948
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
3949
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
3950
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
3951
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
3952
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
3954
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
3956
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
3957
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
3960
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
3961
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
3963
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
3964
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
3966
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
3968
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
3969
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
3970
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
3971
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
3972
specification by Martin Pool.
3973
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
3975
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
3978
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
3979
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3981
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
3982
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
3983
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
3985
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
3987
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
3988
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
3993
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
3994
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3996
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
3998
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
4000
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
4003
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
4004
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
4005
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
4006
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
4010
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
4011
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
4012
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
4013
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4015
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
4016
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
4017
tried. (Martin Pool)
4019
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
4022
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
4024
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
4025
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
4026
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
4028
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
4029
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
4031
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
4032
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
4033
paths. (Robert Collins)
4035
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
4036
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
4037
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
4039
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
4040
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
4041
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
4043
* Progress bars are now nested - see
4044
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
4045
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4047
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
4050
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
4053
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
4055
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
4057
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
4058
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
4059
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
4062
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
4063
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
4065
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
4066
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
4067
check. (Robert Collins)
4069
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
4070
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
4074
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
4075
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
4077
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
4078
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
4079
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
4080
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
4082
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
4083
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
4084
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
4085
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
4086
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
4088
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
4089
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
4090
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
4092
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
4094
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
4095
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
