NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
11
12
CHANGES:
13
14
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
15
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
16
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
17
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
18
(Robert Collins)
19
20
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
21
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
22
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
23
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
24
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
25
(Alexander Belchenko)
26
27
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
28
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
29
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
30
(Alexander Belchenko)
31
32
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
33
34
FEATURES:
35
36
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
37
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
38
39
IMPROVEMENTS:
40
41
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
42
43
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
44
45
BUGFIXES:
46
47
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
48
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
49
50
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
51
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
52
53
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
54
55
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
56
57
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
58
symlinks (James Henstridge)
59
60
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.1, which properly quotes #
61
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
62
63
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
64
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
65
66
API BREAKS:
67
68
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
69
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
70
(Alexander Belchenko)
71
72
TESTING:
73
74
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
75
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
76
(Robert Collins)
77
78
INTERNALS:
79
80
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
81
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
82
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
83
(Alexander Belchenko)
84
85
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
86
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
87
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
88
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
89
90
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
91
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
92
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
93
(Robert Collins)
94
95
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
96
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
97
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
98
format. (Robert Collins)

bzr 1.2 2008-02-15
102
------------------
103
104
BUG FIXES:
105
106
* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
107
108
109
bzr 1.2rc1 2008-02-13
110
---------------------
111
112
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
113
114
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
115
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
116
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
117
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
118
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
119
(Andrew Bennetts)
120
121
CHANGES:
122
123
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
124
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
125
126
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
127
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
128
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
129
130
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
131
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
132
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
133
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
134
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
135
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
136
(Aaron Bentley)
137
138
FEATURES:
139
140
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
141
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
142
143
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
144
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
145
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
146
(Robert Collins)
147
148
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
149
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
150
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
151
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
152
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
153
154
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
155
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
156
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
157
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
158
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
159
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
160
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
161
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
162
163
IMPROVEMENTS:
164
165
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
166
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
167
168
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
169
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
170
171
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
172
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
173
174
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
175
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
176
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
177
178
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
179
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
180
(John Arbash Meinel)
181
182
BUGFIXES:
183
184
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
185
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
186
187
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
188
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
189
190
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
191
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
192
193
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
194
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
195
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
196
197
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
198
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
199
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
200
201
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
202
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
203
204
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
205
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
206
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
207
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
208
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
209
unittest runner.
210
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
211
212
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
213
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
214
#185907)
215
216
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
217
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
218
219
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
220
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
221
222
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
223
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
224
225
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
226
more characters which should be considered valid.
227
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
228
229
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
230
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
231
232
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
233
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
234
235
API BREAKS:
236
237
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
238
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
239
240
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
241
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
242
(Martin Pool)
243
244
TESTING:
245
246
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
247
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
248
(Vincent Ladeuil)
249
250
INTERNALS:
251
252
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
253
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
254
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
255
256
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
257
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
258
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
259
260
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
261
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
262
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
263
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
264
265
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
266
267
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
268
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
269
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
270
server. (Robert Collins)
271
272
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
273
operate. (Robert Collins)
274
275
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
276
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
277
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
278
279
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
280
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
281
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
282
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
283
284
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
285
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
286
287
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
288
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
289
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
290
291
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
292
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
293
294
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
295
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
296
297
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
298
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
299
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
300
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)
301

303
bzr 1.1 2008-01-15
304
------------------
305
306
(no changes from 1.1rc1)
307
308
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
309
---------------------
310
311
CHANGES:
312
313
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
314
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
315
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
316
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
317
318
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
319
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
320
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
321
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
322
323
FEATURES:
324
325
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
326
(Lukáš Lalinský)
327
328
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
329
(Aaron Bentley)
330
331
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
332
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
333
334
IMPROVEMENTS:
335
336
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
337
#90049)
338
339
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
340
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
341
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
342
343
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
344
345
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
346
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
347
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
348
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
349
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
350
351
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
352
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
353
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
354
355
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
356
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
357
358
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
359
(Vincent Ladeuil)
360
361
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
362
363
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
364
365
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
366
(Aaron Bentley)
367
368
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
369
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
370
371
BUGFIXES:
372
373
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
374
(Martin Pool, #180208)
375
376
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
377
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
378
379
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
380
(Aaron Bentley)
381
382
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
383
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
384
385
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
386
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
387
388
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
389
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
390
391
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
392
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
393
394
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
395
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
396
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
397
398
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
399
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
400
401
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
402
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
403
(Aaron Bentley)
404
405
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
406
407
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
408
user:pass embedded in the urls.
409
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
410
411
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
412
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
413
414
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
415
(Aaron Bentley)
416
417
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
418
#148087)
419
420
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
421
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
422
423
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
424
#137681)
425
426
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
427
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
428
(Aaron Bentley)
429
430
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
431
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
432
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
433
434
DOCUMENTATION:
435
436
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
437
(Ian Clatworthy)
438
439
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
440
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
441
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
442
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
443
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
444
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
445
446
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
447
448
INTERNALS:
449
450
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.
451
(Aaron Bentley)
452
453
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
454
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
455
456
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
457
458
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
459
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
460
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
461
Robert Collins)
462
463
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
464
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
465
466
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.

473
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
474
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
475
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
476
477
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
478
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
479
(Robert Collins)
480
481
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
482
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
483
484
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
485
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
486
487
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
488
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
489
490
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
491
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
492
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
493
494
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
495
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
496
497
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
498
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
499
500
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
501
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.

BUGFIXES:
539
540
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
541
542
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
543
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
544
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
545
feedback but also incur more latency.
546
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)

572
573
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
574
(Aaron Bentley)
575
576
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
577
Nordhoff, #172612)
578
579
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
580
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
581
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
582
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
583
584
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
585
(Kent Gibson)
586
587
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
588
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
589
590
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
591
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
592
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
593
594
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
595
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
596
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
597
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
598
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
599
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
600
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
601
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
602
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)

617
filename to user.
618
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
619
620
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
621
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
622
required.
623
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
624
625

626
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
627
628
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
629
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
630
631

bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
638
---------------------
639
640
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
641
642
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
643
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
644
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
645
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
646
647
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
648
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
649
650
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
651
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
652
653
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
654
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
655
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
656
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
657
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
658
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
659
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
660
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
661
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
662
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
663
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
664
from any tree without problems.
665
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
666
667
CHANGES:
668
669
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
670
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
671
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
672
673
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
674
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
675
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
676
(Martin Pool)
677
678
FEATURES:
679
680
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
681
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
682
supported transports.
683
(Vincent Ladeuil)
684
685
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
686
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
687
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
688
689
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
690
(Robert Collins, #154173)
691
692
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
693
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
694
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
695
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
696
697
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
698
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
699
700
PERFORMANCE:
701
702
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
703
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
704
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
705
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
706
707
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
708
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
709
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
710
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
711
712
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
713
(Robert Collins, #88319)
714
715
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
716
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
717
718
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
719
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
720
721
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
722
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
723
(Aaron Bentley)
724
725
IMPROVEMENTS:
726
727
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
728
(Aaron Bentley)
729
730
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
731
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
732
(Lukáš Lalinský)
733
734
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
735
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
736
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
737
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
738
739
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
740
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
741
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
742
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)

* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
752
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
753
754
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii

* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
761
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)

763
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.

* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
767
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)

770
(Aaron Bentley)
771
772
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
773
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
774
775
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
776
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
777
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
778
779
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
780
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
781
782
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
783
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
784
785
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
786
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
787
788
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
789
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
790
791
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
792
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
793
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
794
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
795
on them.
796
(Martin Pool, #164637)
797
798
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
799
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
800
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
801
802
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
803
(Robert Collins, #161240)
804
805
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
806
to be reconciled.
807
(Martin Pool, #164443)
808
809
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
810
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
811
812
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
813
specify a port in urls.
814
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
815
816
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
817
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
818
819
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
820
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
821
822
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
823
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
824
825
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
826
(Robert Collins, #153789)
827
828
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
829
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
830
(Robert Collins, #165304).
831
832
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
833
834

847
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
848
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
849
850
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
851
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
852
853
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
854
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
855
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
856
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
857
858
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
859
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
860
861
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
862
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
863
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
864
865
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
866
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
867
868
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
869
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
870
871
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
872
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
873
874
API BREAKS:
875
876
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
877
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
878
879
* The return value of
880
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
881
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
882
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
883
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
884
885
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
886
(Robert Collins)
887
888
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
889
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
890
format.
891
(Martin Pool)
892
893
INTERNALS:
894
895
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
896
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
897
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
898
Bennetts)

* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
901
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
920
921
CHANGES:
922
923
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
924
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
925
926
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
927
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
928
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
929
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
930
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
931
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
932
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
933
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
934
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
935
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
936
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
937
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
938
(Robert Collins)
939
940
FEATURES:
941
942
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
943
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
944
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
945
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
946
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
947
for further details. (Robert Collins)
948
949
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
950
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
951
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
952
(Robert Collins)
953
954
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
955
956
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
957
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
958
959
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
960
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
961
(Aaron Bentley)
962
963
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
964
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
965
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
966
967
PERFORMANCE:
968
969
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
970
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
971
972
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
973
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
974
975
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
976
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
977
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
978
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
979
980
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
981
(Robert Collins)
982
983
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
984
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
985
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
986
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
987
988
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
989
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
990
991
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
992
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
993
994
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
995
the contents. (Robert Collins)
996
997
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
998
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
999
1000
IMPROVEMENTS:
1001
1002
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
1003
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
1004
1005
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
1006
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
1007
1008
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
1009
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
1010
1011
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
1012
(Martin Pool, #63894)
1013
1014
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
1015
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
1016
1017
DOCUMENTATION:
1018
1019
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
1020
1021
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
1022
(Ian Clatworthy)
1023
1024
BUG FIXES:
1025
1026
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
1027
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
1028
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
1029
1030
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
1031
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
1032
1033
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
1034
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
1035
1036
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
1037
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
1038
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
1039
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
1040
1041
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
1042
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
1043
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
1044
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
1045
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
1046
1047
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
1048
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
1049
paramiko.
1050
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
1051
1052
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1053
1054
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
1055
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
1056
1057
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
1058
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
1059
1060
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
1061
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
1062
1063
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
1064
contains a symbolic link.
1065
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
1066
1067
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
1068
(James Westby, #140615)
1069
1070
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
1071
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
1072
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
1073
1074
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
1075
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
1076
(Martin Pool, #144633)
1077
1078
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1079
1080
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
1081
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
1082
1083
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
1084
will remain opened.
1085
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
1086
1087
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
1088
directory to detect leaking tests.
1089
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
1090
1091
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
1092
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
1093
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
1094
1095
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
1096
(Rob Weir, #141629)
1097
1098
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
1099
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
1100
1101
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
1102
Merwe)
1103
1104
API BREAKS:
1105
1106
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
1107
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
1108
1109
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
1110
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
1111
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
1112
1113
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
1114
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
1115
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
1116
1117
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
1118
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
1119
1120
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
1121
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
1122
1123
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
1124
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
1125
(Martin Pool)
1126
1127
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
1128
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
1129
1130
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
1131
class that needs it.
1132
(Martin Pool)
1133
1134
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
1135
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
1136
1137
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
1138
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
1139
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
1140
1141
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
1142
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
1143
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
1144
(Robert Collins)
1145
1146
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
1147
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
1148
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
1149
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
1150
(Robert Collins)
1151
1152
INTERNALS:
1153
1154
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
1155
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
1156
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
1157
1158
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
1159
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
1160
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
1161
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
1162
1163
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
1164
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
1165
(Robert Collins)
1166
1167
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
1168
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
1169
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
1170
1171
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
1172
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
1173
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
1174
1175
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
1176
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
1177
1178
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
1179
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
1180
to complete. (Robert Collins)
1181
1182
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
1183
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
1184
1185
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
1186
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
1187
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
1188
1189
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
1190
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
1191
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
1192
1193
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
1194
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
1195
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
1196
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
1197
1198
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
1199
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
1200
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
1201
returned. (Robert Collins)
1202
1203
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
1204
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
1205
1206
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
1207
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
1208
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
1209
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
1210
(Robert Collins)
1211
1212
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
1213
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
1214
1215
TESTING:
1216
1217
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
1218
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
1219
1220
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
1221
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
1222
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
1223
makes this behavior available to other users.
1224
(Martin Pool)
1225
1226
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
1227
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
1228
1229
1230
bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
1231
-------------------
1232
1233
BUG FIXES:
1234
1235
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1236
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1237
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1238
1239
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1240
1241
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
1242
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
1243
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
1244
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
1245
1246
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
1247
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
1248
(Andrew Bennetts)
1249
1250
1251
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
1252
----------------------
1253
1254
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
1255
in bzrlib/remote.py.
1256
1257
1258
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
1259
----------------------
1260
1261
CHANGES:
1262
1263
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
1264
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
1265
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
1266
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
1267
(Martin Pool)
1268
1269
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
1270
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
1271
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
1272
(Ian Clatworthy)
1273
1274
FEATURES:
1275
1276
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
1277
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
1278
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
1279
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1280
1281
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
1282
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
1283
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
1284
1285
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
1286
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
1287
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
1288
1289
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
1290
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
1291
1292
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
1293
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
1294
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
1295
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
1296
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
1297
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
1298
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
1299
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
1300
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
1301
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
1302
1303
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
1304
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
1305
1306
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
1307
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
1308
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1309
1310
BUG FIXES:
1311
1312
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
1313
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
1314
1315
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
1316
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
1317
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
1318
1319
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
1320
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
1321
1322
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
1323
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
1324
1325
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
1326
(Aaron Bentley)
1327
1328
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
1329
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
1330
1331
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
1332
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
1333
1334
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
1335
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1336
1337
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
1338
(Blake Winton, #129299)
1339
1340
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
1341
1342
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
1343
Watkins, #106726)
1344
1345
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
1346
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
1347
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
1348
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
1349
1350
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1351
1352
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
1353
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
1354
#133548)
1355
1356
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
1357
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
1358
1359
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
1360
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
1361
#116143)
1362
1363
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
1364
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
1365
1366
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
1367
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
1368
1369
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
1370
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
1371
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
1372
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
1373
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
1374
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
1375
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
1376
1377
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
1378
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
1379
1380
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
1381
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
1382
1383
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
1384
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
1385
1386
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
1387
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
1388
1389
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
1390
connections.
1391
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
1392
1393
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
1394
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
1395
1396
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
1397
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
1398
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
1399
1400
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1401
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1402
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1403
1404
IMPROVEMENTS:
1405
1406
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
1407
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1408
1409
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
1410
(Aaron Bentley)
1411
1412
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
1413
(Aaron Bentley)
1414
1415
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
1416
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1417
1418
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
1419
1420
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
1421
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
1422
1423
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
1424
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
1425
1426
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
1427
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
1428
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
1429
space). (Robert Collins)
1430
1431
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
1432
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
1433
(Ian Clatworthy)
1434
1435
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
1436
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1437
1438
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
1439
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
1440
1441
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
1442
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
1443
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
1444
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
1445
1446
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
1447
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
1448
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
1449
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1450
1451
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
1452
(Ian Clatworthy)
1453
1454
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
1455
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
1456
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
1457
1458
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
1459
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
1460
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
1461
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
1462
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
1463
1464
API BREAKS:
1465
1466
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
1467
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
1468
1469
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
1470
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
1471
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
1472
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
1473
affected. (Robert Collins)
1474
1475
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
1476
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
1477
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
1478
(Robert Collins)
1479
1480
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1481
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1482
1483
TESTING:
1484
1485
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
1486
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
1487
1488
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
1489
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1490
1491
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1492
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1493
1494
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
1495
(Aaron Bentley)
1496
1497
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
1498
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1499
1500
INTERNALS:
1501
1502
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
1503
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
1504
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
1505
its version information. (Robert Collins)
1506
1507
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
1508
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1509
1510
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
1511
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
1512
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
1513
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1514
1515
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
1516
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
1517
present. (Robert Collins)
1518
1519
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
1520
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
1521
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
1522
API. (Robert Collins)
1523
1524
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
1525
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
1526
(Robert Collins)
1527
1528
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
1529
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
1530
1531
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
1532
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
1533
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
1534
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
1535
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
1536
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
1537
1538
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
1539
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
1540
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
1541
1542
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
1543
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
1544
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
1545
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
1546
protocol.
1547
1548
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
1549
(Aaron Bentley)
1550
1551
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
1552
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
1553
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
1554
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
1555
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
1556
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
1557
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
1558
1559
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
1560
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
1561
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
1562
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
1563
1564
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
1565
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
1566
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
1567
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
1568
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
1569
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
1570
1571
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
1572
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
1573
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
1574
1575
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
1576
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1577
1578
1579
bzr 0.90 2007-08-28
1580
-------------------
1581
1582
IMPROVEMENTS:
1583
1584
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
1585
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
1586
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
1587
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
1588
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
1589
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
1590
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
1591
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
1592
1593
1594
API CHANGES:
1595
1596
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
1597
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
1598
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
1599
1600
1601
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
1602
----------------------
1603
1604
BUGFIXES:
1605
1606
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
1607
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
1608
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
1609
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
1610
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
1611
1612
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
1613
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
1614
1615
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
1616
anymore.
1617
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
1618
1619
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
1620
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
1621
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1622
1623
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
1624
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
1625
#111664)
1626
1627
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
1628
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1629
1630
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
1631
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
1632
1633
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
1634
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
1635
1636
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
1637
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
1638
1639
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
1640
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
1641
1642
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
1643
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
1644
1645
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
1646
(Aaron Bentley)
1647
1648
IMPROVEMENTS:
1649
1650
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
1651
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
1652
1653
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
1654
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
1655
1656
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
1657
the repository (Robert Collins)
1658
1659
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
1660
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
1661
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
1662
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
1663
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
1664
1665
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
1666
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1667
1668
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
1669
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
1670
(John Arbash Meinel)
1671
1672
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
1673
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
1674
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
1675
about 10%).
1676
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
1677
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
1678
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
1679
(John Arbash Meinel)
1680
1681
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
1682
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
1683
(Robert Collins)
1684
1685
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
1686
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
1687
1688
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
1689
(Ian Clatworthy)
1690
1691
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
1692
1693
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
1694
1695
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
1696
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
1697
1698
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
1699
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
1700
Meinel)
1701
1702
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
1703
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
1704
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
1705
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1706
1707
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
1708
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
1709
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
1710
1711
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
1712
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
1713
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
1714
1715
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
1716
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
1717
1718
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
1719
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
1720
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
1721
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
1722
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
1723
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
1724
(Ian Clatworthy)
1725
1726
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
1727
(Alexander Belchenko)
1728
1729
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
1730
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
1731
1732
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
1733
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
1734
1735
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
1736
1737
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
1738
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
1739
1740
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
1741
1742
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
1743
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
1744
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
1745
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
1746
1747
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
1748
1749
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
1750
(Robert Collins)
1751
1752
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
1753
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
1754
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
1755
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
1756
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
1757
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
1758
1759
INTERNALS:
1760
1761
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
1762
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
1763
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
1764
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
1765
1766
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
1767
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
1768
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
1769
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
1770
tests have been refactored too.
1771
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1772
1773
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
1774
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
1775
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
1776
list, it will.
1777
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1778
1779
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
1780
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
1781
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1782
1783
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
1784
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
1785
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
1786
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
1787
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
1788
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
1789
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
1790
1791
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
1792
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
1793
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
1794
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
1795
(John Arbash Meinel)
1796
1797
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
1798
functionality for testing.
1799
1800
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
1801
1802
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
1803
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1804
1805
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
1806
1807
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
1808
(Robert Collins)
1809
1810
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
1811
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
1812
1813
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
1814
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
1815
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
1816
1817
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
1818
(Aaron Bentley)
1819
1820
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
1821
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
1822
1823
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
1824
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
1825
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
1826
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
1827
1828
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
1829
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
1830
1831
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
1832
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
1833
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
1834
1835
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
1836
(Marius Kruger)
1837
1838
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
1839
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
1840
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
1841
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
1842
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
1843
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
1844
1845
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
1846
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
1847
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
1848
many files. (Robert Collins)
1849
1850
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
1851
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
1852
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
1853
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
1854
1855
TESTING:
1856
1857
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
1858
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
1859
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
1860
1861
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
1862
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
1863
1864
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
1865
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
1866
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1867

1880
BUGFIXES:
1881
1882
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
1883
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
1884
1885
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
1886
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
1887
(James Westby, #122656)
1888
1889
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
1890
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
1891
1892
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
1893
authentication header.
1894
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
1895
1896
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
1897
1898
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
1899
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
1900
1901
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
1902
1903
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
1904
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
1905
1906
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
1907
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
1908
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
1909
1910
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
1911
individually and as part of revision ranges.
1912
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
1913
1914
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
1915
(Martin Pool, #109169)
1916
1917
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
1918
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
1919
1920
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
1921
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
1922
1923
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1924
1925
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
1926
1927
IMPROVEMENTS:
1928
1929
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
1930
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
1931
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
1932
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
1933
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
1934
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
1935
1936
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
1937
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
1938
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
1939
1940
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
1941
(Elliot Murphy)
1942
1943
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
1944
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
1945
1946
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
1947
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
1948
1949
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
1950
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
1951
1952
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
1953
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
1954
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
1955
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
1956
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
1957
1958
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
1959
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
1960
1961
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
1962
can be slow it is useful feedback).
1963
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
1964
1965
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
1966
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
1967
1968
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
1969
1970
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
1971
output. (Aaron Bentley)
1972
1973
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
1974
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
1975
(Robert Collins)
1976
1977
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
1978
(Martin Pool)
1979
1980
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
1981
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
1982
1983
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
1984
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
1985
1986
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
1987
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
1988
1989
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
1990
1991
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
1992
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
1993
1994
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
1995
(Andrew Bennetts)
1996
1997
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
1998
1999
* Testing cleanups -
2000
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
2001
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
2002
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
2003
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
2004
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2005
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
2006
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2007
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
2008
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2009
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
2010
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
2011
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
2012
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2013
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
2014
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2015
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
2016
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
2017
(Robert Collins)
2018
2019
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
2020
2021
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
2022
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
2023
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
2024
2025
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
2026
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
2027
2028
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
2029
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2030
2031
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
2032
2033
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
2034
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
2035
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
2036
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
2037
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
2038
same location. (Robert Collins)
2039
2040
INTERNALS:
2041
2042
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
2043
2044
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
2045
2046
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
2047
2048
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
2049
(Martin Pool)
2050
2051
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
2052
(Martin Pool)
2053
2054
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
2055
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
2056
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
2057
2058
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
2059
2060
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
2061
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
2062
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
2063
2064
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
2065
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
2066
2067
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
2068
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
2069
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
2070
2071
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
2072
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
2073
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
2074
2075
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
2076
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
2077
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
2078
2079
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
2080
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
2081
Martin Pool)
2082
2083
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
2084
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
2085
2086
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
2087
(Alexander Belchenko)
2088
2089
TESTING:
2090
2091
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
2092
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
2093
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
2094
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2095
2096
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
2097
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
2098
testing. (Robert Collins)
2099
2100
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
2101
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
2102
2103
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
2104
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
2105
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
2106
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
2107
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
2108
attribute during the test parameterisation in
2109
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
2110
2111
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
2112
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
2113
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
2114
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
2115
2116
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
2117
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
2118
2119
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
2120
avoid useless cloning.

2139
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2140
2141
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
2142
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
2143
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
2144
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
2145
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
2146
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
2147
and unlock() like so::
2148
2149
work_tree.lock_read()
2150
try:
2151
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
2152
finally:
2153
work_tree.unlock()
2154
2155
INTERNALS:
2156
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
2157
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
2158
object.
2159
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
2160
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
2161
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
2162
2163
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
2164
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
2165
too. (Robert Collins)
2166
2167
IMPROVEMENTS:
2168
2169
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
2170
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
2171
Aaron Bentley)
2172
2173
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
2174
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
2175
2176
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
2177
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
2178
2179
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
2180
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
2181
understanding what changes have occurred
2182
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
2183
2184
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
2185
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
2186
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2187
2188
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
2189
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
2190
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
2191
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
2192
2193
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
2194
#56322)
2195
2196
BUGFIXES:
2197
2198
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
2199
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
2200
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
2201
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
2202
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
2203
2204
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
2205
based on split paths, not just string paths.
2206
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
2207
2208
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
2209
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
2210
2211
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
2212
into account.
2213
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
2214
2215
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
2216
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
2217
2218
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
2219
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
2220
2221
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
2222
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
2223
2224
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
2225
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
2226
2227
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
2228
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
2229
2230
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
2231
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
2232
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
2233
2234
bzr 0.16 2007-05-07
2235
--------------------
2236
2237
BUGFIXES:
2238
2239
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
2240
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
2241
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
2242
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
2243
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
2244
2245
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
2246
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
2247
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
2248
2249
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
2250
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
2251
2252
IMPROVEMENTS:
2253
2254
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
2255
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
2256
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
2257
2258
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
2259
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
2260
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
2261
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

2263
bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
2264
-----------------------
2265
2266
BUGFIXES:
2267
2268
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
2269
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
2270
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
2271
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
2272
2273
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
2274
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
2275
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
2276
2277
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
2278
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
2279
2280
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
2281
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
2282
2283
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
2284
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
2285
2286
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
2287
-----------------------
2288
2289
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2290
2291
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
2292
it could be recovered again.
2293
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
2294
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
2295
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
2296
but not delete it.
2297
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
2298
files.
2299
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
2300
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
2301
2302
IMPROVEMENTS:
2303
2304
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
2305
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
2306
2307
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
2308
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
2309
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
2310
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
2311
2312
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
2313
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
2314
2315
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
2316
tests with names that match that regular expression.
2317
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
2318
2319
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
2320
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
2321
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
2322
2323
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
2324
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
2325
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
2326

* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
2328
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
2329
Robert Collins)
2330
2331
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
2332
Pool)
2333
2334
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
2335
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
2336
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
2337
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
2338
2339
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
2340
(Robert Collins)
2341
2342
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
2343
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
2344
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
2345
(Robert Collins)
2346
2347
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
2348
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
2349
2350
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
2351
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
2352
2353
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
2354
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
2355
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
2356
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
2357
(Robert Collins)
2358
2359
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
2360
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
2361
2362
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
2363
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2364
2365
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
2366
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
2367
(Robert Collins, #107125).
2368
2369
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
2370
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
2371
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
2372
2373
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
2374
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
2375
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2376
2377
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
2378
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
2379
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
2380
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
2381
2382
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
2383
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
2384
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
2385
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
2386
2387
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
2388
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
2389
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
2390
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
2391
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
2392
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
2393
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
2394
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
2395
header(s).
2396
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2397
2398
INTERNALS:
2399
2400
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
2401
code paths. (Robert Collins)
2402
2403
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
2404
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
2405
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
2406
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
2407
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2408
2409
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
2410
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
2411
2412
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
2413
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
2414
2415
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
2416
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
2417
2418
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
2419
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
2420
2421
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
2422
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
2423
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
2424
(Robert Collins).
2425
2426
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
2427
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
2428
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
2429
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
2430
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
2431
(Robert Collins)
2432
2433
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
2434
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
2435
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
2436
2437
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
2438
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
2439
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2440
2441
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
2442
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
2443
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
2444
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2445
2446
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
2447
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
2448
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
2449
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
2450
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
2451
2452
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
2453
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
2454
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
2455
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2456
2457
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
2458
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2459
2460
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
2461
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
2462
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
2463
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
2464
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
2465
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
2466
2467
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
2468
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
2469
2470
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
2471
help. (Robert Collins)
2472
2473
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
2474
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2475
2476
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
2477
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
2478
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
2479
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
2480
(John Arbash Meinel)
2481
2482
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
2483
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
2484
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
2485
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
2486
useful. (Robert Collins)
2487
2488
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
2489
(Andrew Bennetts)
2490
2491
BUGFIXES:
2492
2493
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
2494
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
2495
2496
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
2497
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
2498
2499
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
2500
properly and is no longer beneficial.
2501
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
2502
2503
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
2504
(Aaron Bentley)
2505
2506
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
2507
the file, and does it faster.
2508
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
2509
2510
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
2511
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
2512
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
2513
2514
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
2515
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
2516
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
2517
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
2518
2519
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
2520
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
2521
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
2522
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
2523
2524
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
2525
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
2526
2527
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
2528
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
2529
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
2530
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
2531
Arbash Meinel)
2532
2533
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
2534
2535
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
2536
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
2537
2538
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
2539
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
2540
2541
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
2542
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
2543
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
2544
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
2545
security hole.
2546
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2547
2548
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
2549
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
2550
2551
TESTING:
2552
2553
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
2554
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
2555
in running it. (Robert Collins)
2556
2557
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
2558
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
2559
2560
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
2561
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
2562
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
2563
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
2564
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
2565
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
2566
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
2567
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2568
2569
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
2570
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
2571
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2572
2573
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
2574
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
2575
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
2576
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
2577
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
2578
access.
2579
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2580
2581
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
2582
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
2583
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
2584
2585
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
2586
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

2604
CHANGES:
2605
2606
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
2607
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
2608
(Martin Pool)
2609
2610
IMPROVEMENTS:
2611
2612
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
2613
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
2614
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
2615
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
2616
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
2617
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
2618
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
2619
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
2620
path. (vila)
2621
2622
INTERNALS:
2623
2624
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
2625
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
2626
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
2627
2628
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
2629
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
2630
(Martin Pool)
2631
2632
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
2633
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
2634
(John Arbash Meinel)
2635
2636
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
2637
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
2638
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
2639
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
2640
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
2641
2642
BUGFIXES:
2643
2644
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
2645
(vila, #92195)
2646
2647
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
2648
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
2649
2650
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
2651
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
2652
2653
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
2654
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
2655
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
2656
2657
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
2658
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
2659
2660
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
2661
last-changed-revision for directories. The
2662
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
2663
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
2664
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
2665
2666
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
2667
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
2668
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
2669
2670
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

2674
-----------------------
2675
2676
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2677
2678
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
2679
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
2680
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
2681
2682
IMPROVEMENTS:
2683
2684
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
2685
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
2686
2687
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
2688
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
2689
2690
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
2691
2692
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
2693
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
2694
2695
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
2696
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
2697
2698
INTERNALS:
2699
2700
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
2701
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
2702
2703
BUGFIXES:
2704
2705
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
2706
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
2707
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
2708
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
2709
2710
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
2711
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
2712
2713
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
2714
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
2715
2716
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
2717
(Marien Zwart)
2718
2719
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

2723
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
2724
-----------------------
2725
2726
SURPRISES:
2727
2728
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
2729
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
2730
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
2731
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
2732
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
2733
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
2734
2735
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
2736
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
2737
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
2738
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
2739
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
2740
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
2741
development.
2742
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2743
2744
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
2745
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
2746
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
2747
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
2748
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
2749
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
2750
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
2751
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2752
2753
IMPROVEMENTS:
2754
2755
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
2756
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
2757
2758
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
2759
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
2760
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
2761
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
2762
does exist.
2763
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
2764
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
2765
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
2766
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
2767
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
2768
2769
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
2770
(Aaron Bentley)

* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
2773
(Aaron Bentley)
2774
2775
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
2776
(Robert Collins)
2777
2778
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
2779
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
2780
(Aaron Bentley)
2781
2782
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
2783
(Aaron Bentley)
2784
2785
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
2786
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
2787
2788
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
2789
directory. (Martin Pool)
2790
2791
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
2792
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
2793
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
2794
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
2795
2796
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
2797
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
2798
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
2799
in docs/configuration.txt.
2800
2801
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
2802
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
2803
bind location.
2804
2805
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
2806
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
2807
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
2808
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
2809
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
2810
repositories. (Martin Pool)
2811
2812
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
2813
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2814
2815
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
2816
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
2817
2818
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
2819
(Aaron Bentley)
2820
2821
INTERNALS:
2822
2823
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
2824
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
2825
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
2826
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
2827
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
2828
(John Arbash Meinel)
2829
2830
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
2831
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
2832
(Aaron Bentley)
2833
2834
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
2835
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
2836
(John Arbash Meinel)
2837
2838
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
2839
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
2840
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
2841
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
2842
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
2843
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
2844
2845
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
2846
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
2847
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
2848
2849
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
2850
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
2851
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
2852
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
2853
repository.
2854
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2855
2856
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
2857
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
2858
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
2859
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
2860
2861
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
2862
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
2863
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
2864
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
2865
2866
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
2867
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
2868
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
2869
2870
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
2871
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
2872
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
2873
2874
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
2875
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
2876
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
2877
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
2878
2879
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
2880
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
2881
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
2882
2883
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
2884
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
2885
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
2886
2887
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
2888
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
2889
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
2890
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
2891
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
2892
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
2893
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
2894
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
2895
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
2898
2899
BUGFIXES:
2900
2901
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
2902
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
2903
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
2904
2905
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
2906
(Aaron Bentley)
2907
2908
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
2909
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
2910
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
2911
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
2912
2913
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
2914
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
2915
#83954).
2916
2917
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
2918
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
2919
2920
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
2921
2922
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
2923
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
2924
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
2925
2926
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
2927
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
2928
2929
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
2930
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
2931
2932
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
2933
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
2934
2935
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
2936
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
2937
2938
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
2939
2940
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
2941
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
2942
2943
TESTING:
2944
2945
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests

2952
IMPROVEMENTS:
2953
2954
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
2955
2956
BUG FIXES:
2957
2958
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
2959
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
2960
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
2961
2962
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
2963
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
2964
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

2967
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
2968
-----------------------
2969
2970
IMPROVEMENTS:
2971
2972
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
2973
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
2974
server, then you can write over the http connection.
2975
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2976
2977
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
2978
(Marius Kruger)
2979
2980
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
2981
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
2982
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
2983
2984
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
2985
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
2986
2987
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
2988
(Aaron Bentley)
2989
2990
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
2991
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
2992
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
2993
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
2994
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
2995
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
2996
2997
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
2998
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
2999
should enable you to do::
3000
3001
[/home/user/project]
3002
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
3003
push_location:policy = appendpath
3004
3005
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
3006
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
3007
(James Henstridge)
3008
3009
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
3010
for each file. For example::
3011
3012
$ bzr status --short
3013
A foo
3014
A bar
3015
D baz
3016
? wooley
3017
3018
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
3019
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
3020
3021
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
3022
3023
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
3024
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
3025
3026
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
3027
3028
INTERNALS:
3029
3030
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
3031
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
3032
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
3033
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
3034
3035
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
3036
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
3037
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
3038
3039
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3040
3041
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
3042
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
3043
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
3044
(Alexander Belchenko)
3045
3046
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
3047
Pool)
3048
3049
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
3050
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
3051
3052
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
3053
3054
BUG FIXES:
3055
3056
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
3057
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
3058
3059
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
3060
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
3061
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
3062
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
3063
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
3064
3065
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
3066
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
3067
3068
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
3069
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
3070
3071
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
3072
matcher.
3073
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
3074
3075
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
3076
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
3077
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
3078
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
3079
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
3080
3081
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
3082
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
3083
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
3084
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
3085
3086
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
3087
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
3088
3089
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
3090
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
3091
3092
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
3093
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)

* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

IMPROVEMENTS:
3108
3109
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
3110
tree from a branch.
3111
(Daniel Silverstone)
3112
3113
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
3114
operations are substantially faster.
3115
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
3116
3117
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
3118
tree from some other url. For example:
3119
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
3120
(Daniel Silverstone)
3121
3122
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
3123
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
3124
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
3125
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
3126
3127
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
3128
(Andrew Bennetts)
3129
3130
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
3131
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
3132
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
3133
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
3134
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
3135
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
3136
3137
INTERNALS:
3138
3139
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
3140
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
3141
(Martin Pool)
3142
3143
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3144
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3145
(John Arbash Meinel)
3146
3147
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
3148
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
3149
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
3150
(John Arbash Meinel)
3151
3152
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
3153
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
3154
3155
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
3156
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3157
3158
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
3159
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
3160
Bennetts)
3161
3162
BUG FIXES:
3163
3164
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
3165
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
3166
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
3167
3168
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
3169
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
3170
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
3171
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
3172
3173
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
3174
3175
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
3176
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
3177
3178
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
3179
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
3180
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
3181
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
3182
3183
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
3184
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
3185
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
3186
3187
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
3188
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
3189
them as full references rather than integers.
3190
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
3191
3192
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
3193
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
3194
3195
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
3196
3197
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
3198
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
3199
3200
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
3201
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
3202
3203
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
3204
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
3205
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
3206
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
3207
3208
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
3209
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
3210
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
3211
3212
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
3213
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
3214
3215
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
3216
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
3217
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
3218
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
3219
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
3220
3221
TESTING:
3222
3223
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
3224
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

3227
--------------------
3228
3229
INTERNALS:
3230
3231
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3232
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3233
(John Arbash Meinel)
3234
3235
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
3236
-----------------------
3237
3238
IMPROVEMENTS:
3239
3240
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
3241
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
3242
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
3243
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
3244
3245
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
3246
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
3247
3248
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
3249
3250
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
3251
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
3252
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
3253
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3254
3255
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
3256
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
3257
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
3258
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
3259
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
3260
3261
API INCOMPATABILITY:
3262
3263
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
3264
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
3265
3266
INTERNALS:
3267
3268
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
3269
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
3270
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3271
3272
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
3273
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
3274
(John Arbash Meinel)
3275
3276
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
3277
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
3278
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
3279
3280
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
3281
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
3282
(Aaron Bentley)
3283
3284
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
3285
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
3286
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3287
3288
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
3289
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
3290
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
3291
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
3292
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
3293
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3294
3295
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
3296
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
3297
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
3298
(Robert Collins)
3299
3300
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
3301
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
3302
3303
BUG FIXES:
3304
3305
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
3306
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
3307
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
3308
#63360, #66349)
3309
3310
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
3311
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
3312
3313
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
3314
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
3315
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
3316
3317
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
3318
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
3319
3320
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
3321
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
3322
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
3323
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
3324
3325
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
3326
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
3327
3328
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
3329
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
3330
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
3331
3332
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
3333
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
3334
3335
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3336
3337
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
3338
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
3339
#32054)
3340
3341
TESTING:
3342
3343
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
3344
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
3345
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
3346
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
3347
3348
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
3349
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
3350
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3351
3352
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02
3353
--------------------
3354
3355
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
3356
3357
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
3358
-----------------------
3359
3360
BUG FIXES:
3361
3362
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
3363
3364
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
3365
Arbash Meinel).
3366
3367
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
3368
-----------------------
3369
3370
IMPROVEMENTS:
3371
3372
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
3373
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
3374
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
3375
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
3376
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
3377
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
3378
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
3379
3380
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
3381
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
3382
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
3383
3384
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
3385
3386
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
3387
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
3388
3389
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
3390
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
3391
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
3392
(Robert Collins)
3393
3394
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
3395
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
3396
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
3397
(John Arbash Meinel)
3398
3399
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
3400
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
3401
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
3402
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
3403
Pool)
3404
3405
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
3406
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
3407
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
3408
(John Arbash Meinel)
3409
3410
BUG FIXES:
3411
3412
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
3413
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
3414
3415
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
3416
3417
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
3418
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
3419
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
3420
3421
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
3422
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
3423
3424
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
3425
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
3426
3427
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
3428
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
3429
3430
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
3431
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
3432
3433
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
3434
3435
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
3436
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
3437
3438
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
3439
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
3440
3441
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
3442
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
3443
3444
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
3445
(John Arbash Meinel)
3446
3447
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
3448
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
3449
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
3450
3451
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
3452
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3453
3454
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
3455
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
3456
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
3457
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
3458
3459
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
3460
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
3461
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
3462
3463
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
3464
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
3465
3466
PORTABILITY:
3467
3468
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
3469
3470
INTERNALS:
3471
3472
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
3473
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
3474
(John Arbash Meinel)
3475
3476
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
3477
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
3478
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
3479
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3480
3481
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
3482
(Andrew Bennetts)
3483
3484
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
3485
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
3486
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
3487
3488
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
3489
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
3490
3491
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
3492
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
3493
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
3494
3495
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
3496
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
3497
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
3498
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
3499
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
3500
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
3501
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
3502
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
3503
caller to repeat their request.
3504
(John Arbash Meinel)
3505
3506
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
3507
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
3508
3509
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
3510
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
3511
3512
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
3513
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
3514
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
3515
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
3516
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
3517
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
3518
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
3519
3520
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
3521
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
3522
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
3523
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
3524
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
3525
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
3526
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
3527
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
3528
(Robert Collins)
3529
3530
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
3531
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
3532
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
3533
3534
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
3535
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
3536
3537
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
3538
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
3539
3540
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
3541
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3542
3543
TESTING:
3544
3545
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
3546
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
3547
3548
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
3549
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
3550
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3551
3552
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
3553
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
3554
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3555
3556
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
3557
--------------------
3558
3559
IMPROVEMENTS:
3560
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
3561
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
3562
3563
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
3564
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
3565
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
3566
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
3567
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
3568
3569
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
3570
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
3571
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
3572
3573
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
3574
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
3575
3576
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
3577
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
3578
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3579
3580
BUG FIXES:
3581
3582
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
3583
3584
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
3585
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
3586
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
3587
3588
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
3589
3590
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
3591
3592
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
3593
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
3594
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
3595
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
3596
3597
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
3598
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
3599
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
3600
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
3601
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
3602
3603
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
3604
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
3605
3606
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
3607
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
3608
3609
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
3610
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
3611
3612
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
3613
in handling of revision properties.
3614
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
3615
3616
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
3617
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
3618
3619
INTERNALS:
3620
3621
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
3622
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
3623
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
3624
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
3625
(John Arbash Meinel)
3626
3627
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
3628
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
3629
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
3630
3631
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
3632
---------------------
3633
3634
SURPRISES:
3635
3636
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
3637
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
3638
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
3639
specific one '.bzrignore'.
3640
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
3641
a more conservative list than the old default.
3642
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
3643
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
3644
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
3645
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
3646
3647
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
3648
to more locations than just branch locations.
3649
(Aaron Bentley)
3650
3651
IMPROVEMENTS:
3652
3653
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
3654
revno:N:branch. For example,
3655
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
3656
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
3657
3658
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
3659
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
3660
the path of a file that has been versioned.
3661
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
3662
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
3663
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
3664
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
3665
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
3666
#42517, #42514)
3667
3668
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
3669
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
3670
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
3671
(Malone #3507)
3672
3673
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
3674
(Alexander Belchenko)
3675
3676
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
3677
3678
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
3679
(Robert Collins).
3680
3681
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
3682
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
3683
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
3684
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
3685
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
3686
(John Arbash Meinel)
3687
3688
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
3689
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
3690
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
3691
grained analysis of performance.
3692
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3693
3694
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
3695
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
3696
3697
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
3698
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
3699
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
3700
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
3701
file. (Robert Collins).
3702
3703
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
3704
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
3705
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
3706
3707
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
3708
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
3709
Matthieu Moy)
3710
3711
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
3712
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
3713
3714
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
3715
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
3716
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
3717
the same way you would apply another branch.
3718
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
3719
3720
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
3721
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
3722
3723
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
3724
(Michael Ellerman)
3725
3726
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
3727
(Aaron Bentley)
3728
3729
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
3730
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
3731
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
3732
3733
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
3734
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
3735
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
3736
3737
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
3738
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
3739
3740
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
3741
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
3742
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
3743
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
3744
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
3745
3746
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
3747
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
3748
3749
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
3750
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
3751
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
3752
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
3753
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
3754
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
3755
branch is as much as 4x faster.
3756
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
3757
3758
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
3759
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
3760
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
3761
3762
BUG FIXES:
3763
3764
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
3765
tests not to run.
3766
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
3767
3768
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
3769
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3770
3771
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
3772
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
3773
3774
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
3775
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
3776
3777
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
3778
3779
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
3780
(John Arbash Meinel)
3781
3782
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
3783
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
3784
3785
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
3786
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
3787
and y.
3788
3789
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
3790
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
3791
3792
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
3793
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
3794
3795
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
3796
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
3797
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
3798
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
3799
3800
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
3801
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
3802
3803
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
3804
3805
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
3806
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
3807
3808
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
3809
3810
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
3811
3812
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
3813
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
3814
3815
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
3816
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
3817
3818
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
3819
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
3820
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
3821
3822
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
3823
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
3824
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
3825
3826
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
3827
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
3828
3829
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
3830
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
3831
3832
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
3833
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
3834
3835
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
3836
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
3837
3838
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
3839
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
3840
3841
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
3842
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
3843
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
3844
3845
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
3846
3847
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
3848
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
3849
3850
INTERNALS:
3851
3852
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
3853
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
3854
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
3855
3856
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
3857
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
3858
3859
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
3860
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
3861
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3862
3863
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
3864
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3865
3866
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
3867
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
3868
(Martin Pool)
3869
3870
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
3871
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
3872
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3873
3874
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
3875
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
3876
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3877
3878
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
3879
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
3880
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
3881
3882
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
3883
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
3884
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
3885
3886
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
3887
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
3888
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
3889
3890
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
3891
instead. (Robert Collins)
3892
3893
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

3912
3913
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in

3935
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into

3950
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
3951
-------------------
3952
3953
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3954
3955
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
3956
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
3957
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
3958
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
3959
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
3960
will keep the same format.
3961
3962
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
3963
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
3964
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
3965
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
3966
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
3967
3968
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
3969
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
3970
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
3971
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
3972
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
3973
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
3974
indicating the current revision of the branch.
3975
3976
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
3977
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
3978
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
3979
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
3980
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
3981
3982
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
3983
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
3984
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
3985
arrangement.
3986
3987
3988
IMPROVEMENTS:
3989
3990
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
3991
convention. Paths now take the form::
3992
3993
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
3994
or
3995
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
3996
3997
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
3998
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
3999
4000
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
4001
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
4002
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
4003
4004
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
4005
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
4006
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
4007
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
4008
4009
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
4010
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
4011
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
4012
4013
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
4014
4015
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
4016
4017
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
4018
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
4019
commits::
4020
4021
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
4022
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
4023
| xargs bzr re-sign
4024
4025
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
4026
4027
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
4028
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
4029
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
4030
(Robert Collins)
4031
4032
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
4033
4034
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
4035
4036
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
4037
'.moved'.
4038
4039
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
4040
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
4041
4042
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
4043
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
4044
Daniel Silverstone)
4045
4046
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
4047
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
4048
Martin Pool)
4049
4050
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
4051
4052
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
4053
4054
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
4055
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
4056
4057
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
4058
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
4059
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
4060
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
4061
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
4062
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
4063
4064
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
4065
4066
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
4067
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
4068
(Robert Collins)
4069
4070
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
4071
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
4072
4073
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
4074
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
4075
4076
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
4077
4078
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
4079
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
4080
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
4081
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
4082
specification by Martin Pool.
4083
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
4084
4085
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
4086
Belchenko)
4087
4088
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
4089
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4090
4091
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
4092
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
4093
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
4094
4095
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
4096
4097
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
4098
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
4099
(Robert Collins)
4100
4101
CHANGES:
4102
4103
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
4104
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4105
4106
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
4107
4108
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
4109
4110
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
4111
(Olaf Conradi)
4112
4113
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
4114
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
4115
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
4116
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
4117
4118
INTERNALS:
4119
4120
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
4121
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
4122
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
4123
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4124
4125
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
4126
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
4127
tried. (Martin Pool)
4128
4129
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
4130
(Martin Pool)
4131
4132
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
4133
4134
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
4135
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
4136
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
4137
4138
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
4139
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
4140
4141
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
4142
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
4143
paths. (Robert Collins)
4144
4145
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
4146
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
4147
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
4148
4149
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
4150
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
4151
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
4152
4153
* Progress bars are now nested - see
4154
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
4155
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4156
4157
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
4158
(Olaf Conradi)
4159
4160
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
4161
(Olaf Conradi)
4162
4163
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
4164
4165
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
4166
4167
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
4168
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
4169
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
4170
(Robert Collins)
4171
4172
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
4173
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
4174
4175
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
4176
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
4177
check. (Robert Collins)
4178
4179
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
4180
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
4181
4182
TESTING:
4183
4184
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
4185
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
4186
4187
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
4188
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
4189
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
4190
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
4191
4192
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
4193
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
4194
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
4195
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
4196
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
4197
4198
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
4199
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
4200
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
4201
4202
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
4203
4204
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
4205
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
4206
4207
bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
4208
------------------
4209
4210
CHANGES:
4211
4212
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
4213
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
4214
4215
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
4216
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
4217
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
4218
(Johan Rydberg)
4219
4220
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
4221
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
4222
4223
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
4224
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
4225
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
4226
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
4227
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4228
4229
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
4230
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
4231
used. (Robert Collins)
4232
4233
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
4234
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
4235
(James Henstridge)
4236
4237
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
4238
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
4239
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
4240
4241
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
4242
ignore list.
4243
4244
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
4245
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
4246
4247
IMPROVEMENTS:
4248
4249
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
4250
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
4251
4252
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
4253
4254
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
4255
4256
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
4257
tree. (Robert Collins)
4258
4259
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
4260
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
4261
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
4262
(Robert Collins)
4263
4264
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
4265
that they be kept.
4266
4267
* Tweaks to short log printing
4268
4269
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
4270
(Aaron Bentley)
4271
4272
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
4273
occurs. (Martin Pool)
4274
4275
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
4276
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
4277
4278
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
4279
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
4280
4281
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
4282
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
4283
settings. (Magnus Therning)
4284
4285
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
4286
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
4287
4288
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
4289
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
4290
requests.
4291
4292
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
4293
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
4294
4295
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
4296
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
4297
4298
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
4299
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
4300
4301
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
4302
(Denys Duchier)
4303
4304
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
4305
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
4306
4307
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
4308
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
4309
4310
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
4311
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
4312
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
4313
4314
BUG FIXES:
4315
4316
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
4317
4318
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4319
4320
* Error when run with -OO
4321
4322
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
4323
(Martin Pool)
4324
4325
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
4326
4327
* Change status to 3 for all errors
4328
4329
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
4330
ignored by diff and status
4331
4332
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
4333
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
4334
4335
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
4336
4337
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
4338
4339
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
4340
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
4341
4342
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
4343
email address. (Marien Zwart)
4344
4345
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
4346
(Harald Meland)
4347
4348
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
4349
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4350
4351
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
4352
4353
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
4354
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
4355
4356
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
4357
(Martin Pool)
4358
4359
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
4360
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
4361
4362
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
4363
4364
TESTING:
4365
4366
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
4367
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
4368
4369
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4370
4371
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4372
4373
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
4374
4375
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
4376
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
4377
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4378
4379
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4380
4381
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
4382
(John Arbash Meinel)
4383
4384
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
4385
4386
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
4387
If adding a new test script please add that to
4388
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
4389
4390
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
4391
imported. (Martin Pool)
4392
4393
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
4394
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
4395
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
4396
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
4397
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
4398
(Robert Collins)
4399
4400
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
4401
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
4402
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
4403
4404
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
4405
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
4406
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4407
4408
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
4409
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
4410
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
4411
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
4412
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
4413
(Robert Collins).
4414
4415
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
4416
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
4417
(Robert Collins).
4418
4419
INTERNALS:
4420
4421
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
4422
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
4423
4424
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
4425
function. (Robert Collins)
4426
4427
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
4428
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
4429
if needed). (Robert Collins)
4430
4431
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
4432
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
4433
(Robert Collins)
4434
4435
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
4436
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
4437
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
4438
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
4439
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
4440
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
4441
version. (Robert Collins)
4442
4443
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
4444
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
4445
4446
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
4447
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
4448
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
4449
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
4450
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
4451
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
4452
4453
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
4454
(Robert Collins)
4455
4456
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
4457
4458
add()
4459
commit()
4460
move()
4461
rename_one()
4462
unknowns()
4463
4464
(Robert Collins)
4465
4466
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
4467
4468
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
4469
4470
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
4471
Pool)
4472
4473
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
4474
query method. (Robert Collins)
4475
4476
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
4477
(Denys Duchier)
4478
4479
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
4480
(Michael Ellerman)
4481
4482
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
4483
(Michael Ellerman)
4484
4485
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
4486
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
4487
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
4488
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
4489
4490
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
4491
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
4492
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
4493
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
4494
4495
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
4496
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
4497

bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
4499
------------------
4500
4501
IMPROVEMENTS:
4502
4503
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
4504
(John A Meinel)
4505
4506
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
4507
conflicts.
4508
(Aaron Bentley)
4509
4510
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
4511
a separator, not ':'.
4512
(Aaron Bentley)
4513
4514
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
4515
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
4516
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
4517
4518
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
4519
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
4520
(Robert Collins)
4521
4522
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
4523
has been added that suppresses all output.
4524
4525
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
4526
Adams.
4527
4528
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
4529
Goffredo Baroncelli.
4530
4531
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
4532
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
4533
4534
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
4535
a revision. (Robert Collins)
4536
4537
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
4538
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
4539
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
4540
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
4541
4542
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
4543
4544
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
4545
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
4546
4547
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
4548
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
4549
4550
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
4551
output directory, if one was supplied.
4552
4553
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
4554
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
4555
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
4556
parameters. (Robert Collins)
4557
4558
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
4559
4560
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
4561
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
4562
4563
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
4564
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
4565
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
4566
4567
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
4568
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
4569
4570
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
4571
(Aaron Bentley)
4572
4573
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
4574
4575
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
4576
4577
TESTING:
4578
4579
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
4580
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
4581
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
4582
4583
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
4584
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
4585
related questions. (Robert Collins)
4586
4587
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
4588
is given. (Martin Pool)
4589
4590
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
4591
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
4592
file. (Robert Collins)
4593
4594
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
4595
(Martin Pool)
4596
4597
INTERNALS:
4598
4599
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
4600
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
4601
representation. (Martin Pool).
4602
4603
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
4604
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
4605
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
4606
4607
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4608
(Robert Collins)
4609
4610
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
4611
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
4612
Magnus Therning.
4613
4614
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4615
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
4616
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
4617
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
4618
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
4619
4620
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
4621
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
4622
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
4623
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
4624
python path. (Robert Collins)
4625
4626
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
4627
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
4628
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
4629
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
4630
4631
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
4632
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
4633
4634
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
4635
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
4636
(Robert Collins)
4637
4638
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
4639
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
4640
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
4641
4642
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
4643
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
4644
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
4645
4646
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4647
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4648
4649
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
4650
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
4651
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
4652
(Robert Collins)
4653
4654
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
4655
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
4656
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
4657
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
4658
(Robert Collins)
4659
4660
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
4661
(Robert Collins)
4662
4663
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
4664
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
4665
(Robert Collins)
4666
4667
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
4668
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
4669
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
4670
4671
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
4672
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
4673
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
4674
4675
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
4676
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
4677
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
4678
4679
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4680
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4681
4682
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
4683
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
4684
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
4685
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
4686
caller. (Robert Collins)
4687
4688
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
4689
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
4690
(Robert Collins).
4691
4692
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
4693
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
4694
(Aaron Bentley)
4695
4696
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
4697
4698
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
4699
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
4700
4701
BUG FIXES:
4702
4703
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
4704
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
4705
4706
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
4707
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

4710
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
4711
--------------------
4712
4713
BUG FIXES:
4714
4715
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
4716
allow directories to be listed.
4717
4718
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
4719
upgrading branch format.
4720
4721
PERFORMANCE:
4722
4723
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.

4725
4726
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
4727
------------------
4728
4729
NOTES:
4730
4731
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
4732
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
4733
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
4734
high-latency connections.
4735
4736
BUG FIXES:
4737
4738
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
4739
Rob Weir.
4740
4741
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
4742
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
4743
4744
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
4745
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
4746
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
4747
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4748
4749
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
4750
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
4751
4752
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
4753
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
4754
4755
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
4756
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
4757
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4758
4759
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
4760
for files with only a change to their executable status.
4761
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
4762
Robert Collins
4763
4764
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
4765
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
4766
4767
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
4768
different partial views of history.
4769
4770
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
4771
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
4772
4773
IMPROVEMENTS:
4774
4775
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
4776
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
4777
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4778
4779
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
4780
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
4781
'bzr upgrade'.
4782
4783
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
4784
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
4785
4786
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
4787
Niemeyer.
4788
4789
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
4790
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
4791
4792
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
4793
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
4794
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
4795
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4796
4797
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
4798
4799
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
4800
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
4801
Gustavo Niemeyer.
4802
4803
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
4804
Contributed by Robert Collins.
4805
4806
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
4807
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
4808
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
4809
4810
4811
INTERNALS:
4812
4813
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
4814
for your viewing pleasure.
4815
4816
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
4817
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
4818
4819
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
4820
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
4821
handling of such circumstances.
4822
4823
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
4824
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
4825
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
4826
4827
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
4828
4829
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
4830
we call them revisions not patches.
4831
4832
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
4833
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
4834
4835
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
4836
giving the revision *of that file*.
4837
4838
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
4839
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
4840
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
4841
4842
TESTING:
4843
4844
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
4845
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
4846
4847
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
4848
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
4849

4851
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
4852
--------------------
4853
4854
BUG FIXES:
4855
4856
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
4857
4858
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
4859
(Robert Collins).
4860
4861
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
4862
4863
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
4864
4865
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
4866
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4867
4868
IMPROVEMENTS:
4869
4870
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
4871
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
4872
4873
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
4874
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
4875
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
4876
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
4877
Robey Pointer
4878
4879
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
4880
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4881
4882
INTERNALS:
4883
4884
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
4885
4886
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
4887
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
4888
4889
4890
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
4891
--------------------
4892
4893
IMPROVEMENTS:
4894
4895
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
4896
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
4897
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
4898
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
4899
Michael Ellerman.
4900
4901
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
4902
(Nir Soffer)
4903
4904
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
4905
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
4906
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
4907
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
4908
for the operating system is still tried.
4909
4910
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
4911
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
4912
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
4913
4914
4915
INTERNALS:
4916
4917
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
4918
4919
BUG FIXES:
4920
4921
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
4922
4923
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
4924
branch.
4925
4926
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
4927
read.
4928
4929
4930
PORTABILITY:
4931
4932
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
4933
4934
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.

4936
4937
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
4938
--------------------
4939
4940
NEW FEATURES:
4941
4942
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
4943
help with intelligent shell completion.
4944
4945
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
4946
4947
4948
ENHANCEMENTS:
4949
4950
* Much better merge support.
4951
4952
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
4953
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
4954
like emacs smerge.
4955
4956
4957
BUG FIXES:
4958
4959
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
4960
mention revisions that are not present.
4961
4962
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
4963
4964
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
4965
4966
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
4967
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
4968
4969
4970
CHANGES:
4971
4972
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
4973
4974
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
4975
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
4976
--help themselves.
4977
4978
4979
LIBRARY:
4980
4981
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
4982
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
4983
libraries.
4984
4985
4986
4987
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
4988
--------------------
4989
4990
NEW FEATURES:
4991
4992
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
4993
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
4994
4995
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
4996
4997
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
4998
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
4999
5000
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
5001
FOO.
5002
5003
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
5004
5005
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
5006
the Unix command.
5007
5008
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
5009
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
5010
5011
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
5012
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
5013
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
5014
5015
5016
ENHANCEMENTS:
5017
5018
* Faster working tree operations.
5019
5020
5021
CHANGES:
5022
5023
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
5024
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
5025
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
5026
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
5027
5028
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
5029
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
5030
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
5031
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
5032
standard plugins directory.
5033
5034
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
5035
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
5036
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
5037
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
5038
5039
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
5040
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
5041
5042
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
5043
disk.
5044
5045
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
5046
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
5047
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
5048
5049
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
5050
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
5051
5052
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
5053
line options must come before the command name because they
5054
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
5055
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
5056
it.
5057
5058
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
5059
5060
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
5061
is available with ``--short``.
5062
5063
5064
BUG FIXES:
5065
5066
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
5067
5068
5069
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
5070
---------------------
5071
5072
CHANGES:
5073
5074
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
5075
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5076
5077
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
5078
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
5079
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
5080
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
5081
5082
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
5083
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
5084
with the ``--forward`` option.
5085
5086
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
5087
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
5088
field.
5089
2
5090
3
5091
ENHANCEMENTS:
4
5092
5
5093
* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
6
5094
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.
7
5095
8
* New 'bzr ignore PATTERN' command.
5096
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
9
5097
10
5098
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
11
5099
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
12
5100
13
