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

10
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
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
46
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
47
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
48
49
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
50
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
51
52
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
53
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
54
(Alexander Belchenko)
55
56
BUGFIXES:
57
58
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
59
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
60
61
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
62
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
63
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
64
65
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
66
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
67
68
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
69
70
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
71
72
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
73
symlinks (James Henstridge)
74
75
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
76
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
77
78
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
79
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
80
81
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
82
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
83
84
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
85
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
86
87
API BREAKS:
88
89
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
90
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
91
(Alexander Belchenko)
92
93
TESTING:
94
95
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
96
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
97
(Robert Collins)
98
99
INTERNALS:
100
101
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
102
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
103
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
104
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
105
106
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
107
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
108
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
109
(Alexander Belchenko)
110
111
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
112
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
113
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
114
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
115
116
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
117
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
118
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
119
(Robert Collins)
120
121
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
122
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
123
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
124
125
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
126
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
127
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
128
format. (Robert Collins)
129
130
131
bzr 1.2 2008-02-15
132
------------------
133
134
BUG FIXES:
135
136
* Fix failing test in Launchpad plugin. (Martin Pool)
137
138
139
bzr 1.2rc1 2008-02-13
140
---------------------
141
142
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
143
144
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
145
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
146
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
147
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
148
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
149
(Andrew Bennetts)
150
151
CHANGES:
152
153
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
154
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
155
156
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
157
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
158
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
159
160
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
161
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
162
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
163
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
164
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
165
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
166
(Aaron Bentley)
167
168
FEATURES:
169
170
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
171
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
172
173
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
174
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
175
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
176
(Robert Collins)
177
178
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
179
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
180
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
181
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
182
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
183
184
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
185
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
186
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
187
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
188
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
189
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
190
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
191
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
192
193
IMPROVEMENTS:
194
195
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
196
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
197
198
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
199
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
200
201
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
202
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
203
204
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
205
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
206
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
207
208
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
209
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
210
(John Arbash Meinel)
211
212
BUGFIXES:
213
214
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
215
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
216
217
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
218
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
219
220
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
221
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
222
223
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
224
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
225
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
226
227
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
228
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
229
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
230
231
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
232
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
233
234
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
235
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
236
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
237
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
238
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
239
unittest runner.
240
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
241
242
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
243
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
244
#185907)
245
246
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
247
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
248
249
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
250
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
251
252
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
253
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
254
255
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
256
more characters which should be considered valid.
257
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
258
259
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
260
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
261
262
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
263
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
264
265
API BREAKS:
266
267
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
268
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
269
270
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
271
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
272
(Martin Pool)
273
274
TESTING:
275
276
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
277
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
278
(Vincent Ladeuil)
279
280
INTERNALS:
281
282
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
283
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
284
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
285
286
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
287
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
288
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
289
290
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
291
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
292
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
293
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
294
295
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
296
297
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
298
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
299
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
300
server. (Robert Collins)
301
302
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
303
operate. (Robert Collins)
304
305
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
306
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
307
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
308
309
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
310
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
311
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
312
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
313
314
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
315
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
316
317
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
318
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
319
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
320
321
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
322
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
323
324
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
325
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
326
327
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
328
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
329
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
330
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)
331
332
333
bzr 1.1 2008-01-15
334
------------------
335
336
(no changes from 1.1rc1)
337
338
bzr 1.1rc1 2008-01-05
339
---------------------
340
341
CHANGES:
342
343
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
344
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
345
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
346
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
347
348
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
349
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
350
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
351
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
352
353
FEATURES:
354
355
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
356
(Lukáš Lalinský)
357
358
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
359
(Aaron Bentley)
360
361
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
362
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
363
364
IMPROVEMENTS:
365
366
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
367
#90049)
368
369
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
370
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
371
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
372
373
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
374
375
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
376
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
377
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
378
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
379
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
380
381
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
382
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
383
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
384
385
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
386
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
387
388
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
389
(Vincent Ladeuil)
390
391
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
392
393
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
394
395
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
396
(Aaron Bentley)
397
398
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
399
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
400
401
BUGFIXES:
402
403
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
404
(Martin Pool, #180208)
405
406
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
407
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
408
409
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
410
(Aaron Bentley)
411
412
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
413
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
414
415
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
416
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
417
418
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
419
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
420
421
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
422
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
423
424
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
425
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
426
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
427
428
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
429
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
430
431
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
432
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
433
(Aaron Bentley)
434
435
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
436
437
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
438
user:pass embedded in the urls.
439
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
440
441
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
442
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
443
444
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
445
(Aaron Bentley)
446
447
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
448
#148087)
449
450
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
451
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
452
453
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,

* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
489
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
490
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,

BUGFIXES:
569
570
* Fix Makefile rules for doc generation. (Ian Clatworthy, #175207)
571
572
* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
573
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
574
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
575
feedback but also incur more latency.
576
(Vincent Ladeuil, #173010)

603
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
604
(Aaron Bentley)
605
606
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
607
Nordhoff, #172612)
608
609
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
610
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
611
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
612
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
613
614
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
615
(Kent Gibson)
616
617
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
618
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
619
620
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
621
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
622
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
623
624
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
625
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
626
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
627
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
628
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
629
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
630
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
631
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
632
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)

INTERNALS:
635
636
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.

643
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
644
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)

* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
647
filename to user.
648
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
649
650
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
651
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
652
required.
653
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
654
655
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
656
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
657
658
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
659
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
660
661

bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
668
---------------------
669
670
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
671
672
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
673
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
674
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
675
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
676
677
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
678
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
679
680
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
681
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
682
683
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
684
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
685
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
686
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
687
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
688
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
689
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
690
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
691
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
692
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
693
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
694
from any tree without problems.
695
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
696
697
CHANGES:
698
699
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
700
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
701
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
702
703
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
704
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
705
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
706
(Martin Pool)
707
708
FEATURES:
709
710
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
711
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
712
supported transports.
713
(Vincent Ladeuil)
714
715
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
716
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
717
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
718
719
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
720
(Robert Collins, #154173)
721
722
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
723
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
724
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
725
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
726
727
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
728
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
729
730
PERFORMANCE:
731
732
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
733
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
734
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
735
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
736
737
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
738
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
739
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
740
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
741
742
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
743
(Robert Collins, #88319)
744
745
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
746
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
747
748
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
749
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
750
751
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
752
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
753
(Aaron Bentley)
754
755
IMPROVEMENTS:
756
757
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
758
(Aaron Bentley)
759
760
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
761
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
762
(Lukáš Lalinský)
763
764
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
765
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
766
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
767
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
768
769
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
770
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
771
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
772
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)

* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
782
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
783
784
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
785

* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
791
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)

* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
797
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)

(Aaron Bentley)
801
802
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
803
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
804

* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
806
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
807
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
808
809
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
810
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)

812
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
813
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)

815
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
816
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
817
818
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
819
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
820
821
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
822
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
823
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
824
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
825
on them.
826
(Martin Pool, #164637)
827
828
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
829
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
830
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
831
832
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
833
(Robert Collins, #161240)

* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
836
to be reconciled.
837
(Martin Pool, #164443)
838
839
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
840
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
841
842
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
843
specify a port in urls.
844
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
845
846
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
847
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
848
849
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
850
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
851
852
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
853
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
854
855
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
856
(Robert Collins, #153789)
857
858
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
859
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
860
(Robert Collins, #165304).
861
862
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
863
864

877
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
878
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
879
880
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
881
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
882
883
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
884
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
885
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
886
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
887
888
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
889
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
890
891
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
892
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
893
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
894
895
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
896
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)

906
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
907
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
908
909
* The return value of
910
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
911
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
912
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
913
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
914
915
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
916
(Robert Collins)
917
918
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
919
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
920
format.
921
(Martin Pool)
922
923
INTERNALS:
924
925
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
926
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
927
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
928
Bennetts)

* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
954
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
955
956
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
957
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
958
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
959
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
960
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
961
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you

need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
963
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
964
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
965
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
966
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
967
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
968
(Robert Collins)
969
970
FEATURES:
971
972
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
973
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
974
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
975
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
976
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
977
for further details. (Robert Collins)
978
979
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
980
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
981
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
982
(Robert Collins)
983
984
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
985
986
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
987
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
988
989
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
990
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
991
(Aaron Bentley)
992
993
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
994
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
995
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
996
997
PERFORMANCE:
998
999
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
1000
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
1001
1002
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
1003
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
1004
1005
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
1006
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
1007
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
1008
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
1009
1010
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
1011
(Robert Collins)
1012
1013
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
1014
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
1015
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
1016
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
1017
1018
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
1019
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
1020
1021
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
1022
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
1023
1024
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
1025
the contents. (Robert Collins)
1026
1027
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
1028
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
1029
1030
IMPROVEMENTS:
1031
1032
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
1033
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
1034
1035
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
1036
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
1037
1038
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
1039
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
1040
1041
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
1042
(Martin Pool, #63894)
1043
1044
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
1045
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
1046
1047
DOCUMENTATION:
1048
1049
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
1050
1051
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
1052
(Ian Clatworthy)
1053
1054
BUG FIXES:
1055
1056
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
1057
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
1058
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
1059
1060
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
1061
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
1062
1063
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
1064
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
1065
1066
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
1067
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
1068
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
1069
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
1070
1071
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
1072
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
1073
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
1074
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
1075
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
1076
1077
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
1078
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
1079
paramiko.
1080
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
1081
1082
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1083
1084
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
1085
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
1086
1087
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
1088
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
1089
1090
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
1091
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
1092
1093
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
1094
contains a symbolic link.
1095
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
1096
1097
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
1098
(James Westby, #140615)
1099
1100
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
1101
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
1102
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
1103
1104
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
1105
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
1106
(Martin Pool, #144633)
1107
1108
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1109
1110
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
1111
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
1112
1113
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
1114
will remain opened.
1115
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
1116
1117
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
1118
directory to detect leaking tests.
1119
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
1120
1121
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
1122
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
1123
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
1124
1125
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
1126
(Rob Weir, #141629)
1127
1128
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
1129
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
1130
1131
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
1132
Merwe)
1133
1134
API BREAKS:
1135
1136
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
1137
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
1138
1139
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
1140
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
1141
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
1142
1143
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
1144
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
1145
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
1146
1147
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
1148
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
1149
1150
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
1151
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
1152
1153
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
1154
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
1155
(Martin Pool)
1156
1157
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
1158
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
1159
1160
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
1161
class that needs it.
1162
(Martin Pool)
1163
1164
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
1165
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
1166
1167
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
1168
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
1169
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
1170
1171
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
1172
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
1173
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
1174
(Robert Collins)
1175
1176
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
1177
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
1178
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
1179
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
1180
(Robert Collins)
1181
1182
INTERNALS:
1183
1184
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
1185
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
1186
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
1187
1188
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
1189
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
1190
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
1191
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
1192
1193
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
1194
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
1195
(Robert Collins)
1196
1197
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
1198
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
1199
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
1200
1201
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
1202
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
1203
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
1204
1205
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
1206
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
1207
1208
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
1209
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
1210
to complete. (Robert Collins)
1211
1212
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
1213
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
1214
1215
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
1216
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
1217
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
1218
1219
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
1220
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
1221
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
1222
1223
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
1224
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
1225
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
1226
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
1227
1228
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
1229
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
1230
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
1231
returned. (Robert Collins)
1232
1233
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
1234
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
1235
1236
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
1237
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
1238
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
1239
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
1240
(Robert Collins)
1241
1242
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
1243
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
1244
1245
TESTING:
1246
1247
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
1248
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
1249
1250
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
1251
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
1252
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
1253
makes this behavior available to other users.
1254
(Martin Pool)
1255
1256
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
1257
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
1258
1259
1260
bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
1261
-------------------
1262
1263
BUG FIXES:
1264
1265
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1266
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1267
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1268
1269
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1270
1271
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
1272
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
1273
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
1274
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
1275
1276
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
1277
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
1278
(Andrew Bennetts)
1279
1280
1281
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
1282
----------------------
1283
1284
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
1285
in bzrlib/remote.py.
1286
1287
1288
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
1289
----------------------
1290
1291
CHANGES:
1292
1293
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
1294
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
1295
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
1296
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
1297
(Martin Pool)
1298
1299
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
1300
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
1301
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
1302
(Ian Clatworthy)
1303
1304
FEATURES:
1305
1306
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
1307
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
1308
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
1309
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1310
1311
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
1312
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
1313
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
1314
1315
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
1316
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
1317
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
1318
1319
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
1320
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
1321
1322
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
1323
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
1324
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
1325
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
1326
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
1327
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
1328
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
1329
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
1330
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
1331
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
1332
1333
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
1334
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
1335
1336
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
1337
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
1338
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
1339
1340
BUG FIXES:
1341
1342
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
1343
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
1344
1345
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
1346
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
1347
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
1348
1349
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
1350
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
1351
1352
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
1353
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
1354
1355
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
1356
(Aaron Bentley)
1357
1358
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
1359
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
1360
1361
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
1362
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
1363
1364
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
1365
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1366
1367
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
1368
(Blake Winton, #129299)
1369
1370
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
1371
1372
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
1373
Watkins, #106726)
1374
1375
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
1376
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
1377
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
1378
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
1379
1380
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1381
1382
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
1383
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
1384
#133548)
1385
1386
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
1387
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
1388
1389
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
1390
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
1391
#116143)
1392
1393
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
1394
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
1395
1396
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
1397
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
1398
1399
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
1400
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
1401
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
1402
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
1403
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
1404
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
1405
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
1406
1407
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
1408
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
1409
1410
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
1411
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
1412
1413
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
1414
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
1415
1416
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
1417
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
1418
1419
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
1420
connections.
1421
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
1422
1423
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
1424
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
1425
1426
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
1427
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
1428
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
1429
1430
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
1431
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
1432
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1433
1434
IMPROVEMENTS:
1435
1436
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
1437
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1438
1439
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
1440
(Aaron Bentley)
1441
1442
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
1443
(Aaron Bentley)
1444
1445
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
1446
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
1447
1448
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
1449
1450
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
1451
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
1452
1453
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
1454
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
1455
1456
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
1457
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
1458
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
1459
space). (Robert Collins)
1460
1461
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
1462
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
1463
(Ian Clatworthy)
1464
1465
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
1466
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1467
1468
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
1469
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
1470
1471
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
1472
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
1473
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
1474
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
1475
1476
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
1477
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
1478
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
1479
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1480
1481
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
1482
(Ian Clatworthy)
1483
1484
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
1485
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
1486
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
1487
1488
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
1489
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
1490
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
1491
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
1492
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
1493
1494
API BREAKS:
1495
1496
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
1497
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
1498
1499
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
1500
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
1501
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
1502
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
1503
affected. (Robert Collins)
1504
1505
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
1506
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
1507
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
1508
(Robert Collins)
1509
1510
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1511
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1512
1513
TESTING:
1514
1515
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
1516
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
1517
1518
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
1519
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
1520
1521
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
1522
previous release. (Martin Pool)
1523
1524
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
1525
(Aaron Bentley)
1526
1527
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
1528
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1529
1530
INTERNALS:
1531
1532
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
1533
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
1534
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
1535
its version information. (Robert Collins)
1536
1537
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
1538
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1539
1540
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
1541
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
1542
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
1543
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1544
1545
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
1546
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
1547
present. (Robert Collins)
1548
1549
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
1550
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
1551
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
1552
API. (Robert Collins)
1553
1554
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
1555
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
1556
(Robert Collins)
1557
1558
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
1559
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
1560
1561
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
1562
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
1563
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
1564
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
1565
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
1566
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
1567
1568
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
1569
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
1570
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
1571
1572
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
1573
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
1574
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
1575
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
1576
protocol.
1577
1578
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
1579
(Aaron Bentley)
1580
1581
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
1582
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
1583
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
1584
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
1585
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
1586
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
1587
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
1588
1589
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
1590
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
1591
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
1592
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
1593
1594
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
1595
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
1596
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
1597
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
1598
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
1599
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
1600
1601
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
1602
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
1603
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
1604
1605
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
1606
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1607
1608
1609
bzr 0.90 2007-08-28
1610
-------------------
1611
1612
IMPROVEMENTS:
1613
1614
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
1615
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
1616
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
1617
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
1618
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
1619
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
1620
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
1621
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
1622
1623
1624
API CHANGES:
1625
1626
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
1627
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
1628
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
1629
1630
1631
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
1632
----------------------
1633
1634
BUGFIXES:
1635
1636
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
1637
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
1638
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
1639
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
1640
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
1641
1642
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
1643
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
1644
1645
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
1646
anymore.
1647
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
1648
1649
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
1650
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
1651
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1652
1653
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
1654
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
1655
#111664)
1656
1657
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
1658
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1659
1660
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
1661
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
1662
1663
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
1664
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
1665
1666
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
1667
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
1668
1669
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
1670
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
1671
1672
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
1673
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
1674
1675
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
1676
(Aaron Bentley)
1677
1678
IMPROVEMENTS:
1679
1680
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
1681
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
1682
1683
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
1684
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
1685
1686
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
1687
the repository (Robert Collins)
1688
1689
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
1690
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
1691
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
1692
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
1693
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
1694
1695
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
1696
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
1697
1698
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
1699
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
1700
(John Arbash Meinel)
1701
1702
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
1703
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
1704
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
1705
about 10%).
1706
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
1707
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
1708
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
1709
(John Arbash Meinel)
1710
1711
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
1712
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
1713
(Robert Collins)
1714
1715
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
1716
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
1717
1718
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
1719
(Ian Clatworthy)
1720
1721
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
1722
1723
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
1724
1725
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
1726
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
1727
1728
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
1729
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
1730
Meinel)
1731
1732
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
1733
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
1734
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
1735
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1736
1737
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
1738
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
1739
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
1740
1741
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
1742
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
1743
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
1744
1745
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
1746
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
1747
1748
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
1749
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
1750
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
1751
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
1752
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
1753
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
1754
(Ian Clatworthy)
1755
1756
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
1757
(Alexander Belchenko)
1758
1759
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
1760
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
1761
1762
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
1763
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
1764
1765
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
1766
1767
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
1768
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
1769
1770
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
1771
1772
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
1773
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
1774
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
1775
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
1776
1777
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
1778
1779
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
1780
(Robert Collins)
1781
1782
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
1783
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
1784
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
1785
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
1786
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
1787
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
1788
1789
INTERNALS:
1790
1791
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
1792
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
1793
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
1794
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
1795
1796
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
1797
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
1798
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
1799
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
1800
tests have been refactored too.
1801
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1802
1803
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
1804
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
1805
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
1806
list, it will.
1807
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1808
1809
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
1810
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
1811
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
1812
1813
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
1814
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
1815
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
1816
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
1817
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
1818
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
1819
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
1820
1821
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
1822
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
1823
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
1824
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
1825
(John Arbash Meinel)
1826
1827
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
1828
functionality for testing.
1829
1830
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
1831
1832
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
1833
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1834
1835
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
1836
1837
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
1838
(Robert Collins)
1839
1840
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
1841
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
1842
1843
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
1844
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
1845
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
1846
1847
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
1848
(Aaron Bentley)
1849
1850
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
1851
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
1852
1853
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
1854
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
1855
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
1856
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
1857
1858
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
1859
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
1860
1861
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
1862
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
1863
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
1864
1865
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
1866
(Marius Kruger)
1867
1868
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
1869
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
1870
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
1871
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
1872
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
1873
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
1874
1875
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
1876
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
1877
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
1878
many files. (Robert Collins)
1879
1880
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
1881
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
1882
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
1883
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
1884
1885
TESTING:
1886
1887
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
1888
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
1889
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
1890
1891
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
1892
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
1893
1894
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
1895
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
1896
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

BUGFIXES:
1911
1912
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
1913
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
1914
1915
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
1916
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
1917
(James Westby, #122656)
1918
1919
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
1920
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
1921
1922
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
1923
authentication header.
1924
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
1925
1926
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
1927
1928
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
1929
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)

1931
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
1932
1933
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
1934
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
1935
1936
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
1937
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
1938
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
1939
1940
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
1941
individually and as part of revision ranges.
1942
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
1943
1944
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
1945
(Martin Pool, #109169)
1946
1947
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
1948
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
1949
1950
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
1951
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
1952
1953
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1954
1955
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
1956
1957
IMPROVEMENTS:
1958
1959
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
1960
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
1961
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
1962
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
1963
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
1964
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
1965
1966
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
1967
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
1968
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
1969
1970
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
1971
(Elliot Murphy)
1972
1973
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
1974
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
1975
1976
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
1977
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
1978
1979
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
1980
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
1981
1982
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
1983
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
1984
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
1985
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
1986
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
1987
1988
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
1989
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
1990
1991
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
1992
can be slow it is useful feedback).
1993
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
1994
1995
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
1996
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
1997
1998
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
1999
2000
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
2001
output. (Aaron Bentley)
2002
2003
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
2004
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
2005
(Robert Collins)
2006
2007
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
2008
(Martin Pool)
2009
2010
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
2011
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
2012
2013
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
2014
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
2015
2016
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
2017
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
2018
2019
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
2020
2021
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
2022
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
2023
2024
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.

2027
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
2028
2029
* Testing cleanups -
2030
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
2031
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
2032
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
2033
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
2034
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2035
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
2036
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2037
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
2038
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2039
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
2040
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
2041
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
2042
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2043
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
2044
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2045
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
2046
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
2047
(Robert Collins)
2048
2049
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
2050
2051
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
2052
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
2053
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
2054
2055
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
2056
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
2057
2058
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
2059
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2060
2061
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
2062
2063
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
2064
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
2065
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
2066
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
2067
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
2068
same location. (Robert Collins)
2069
2070
INTERNALS:
2071
2072
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
2073
2074
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
2075
2076
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
2077
2078
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
2079
(Martin Pool)
2080
2081
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
2082
(Martin Pool)
2083
2084
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
2085
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
2086
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
2087
2088
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
2089
2090
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
2091
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
2092
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
2093
2094
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
2095
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
2096
2097
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
2098
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
2099
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
2100
2101
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
2102
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
2103
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
2104
2105
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
2106
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
2107
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
2108
2109
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
2110
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
2111
Martin Pool)
2112
2113
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
2114
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
2115
2116
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
2117
(Alexander Belchenko)
2118
2119
TESTING:
2120
2121
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
2122
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
2123
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
2124
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2125
2126
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
2127
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
2128
testing. (Robert Collins)
2129
2130
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
2131
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
2132
2133
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
2134
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
2135
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
2136
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
2137
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
2138
attribute during the test parameterisation in
2139
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
2140
2141
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
2142
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
2143
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
2144
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
2145
2146
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
2147
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
2148
2149
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
2150
avoid useless cloning.

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2170
2171
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
2172
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
2173
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
2174
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
2175
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
2176
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
2177
and unlock() like so::
2178
2179
work_tree.lock_read()
2180
try:
2181
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
2182
finally:
2183
work_tree.unlock()
2184
2185
INTERNALS:
2186
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
2187
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
2188
object.
2189
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
2190
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
2191
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
2192
2193
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
2194
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
2195
too. (Robert Collins)
2196
2197
IMPROVEMENTS:
2198
2199
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
2200
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
2201
Aaron Bentley)
2202
2203
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
2204
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
2205
2206
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
2207
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
2208
2209
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
2210
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
2211
understanding what changes have occurred
2212
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
2213
2214
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
2215
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
2216
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2217
2218
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
2219
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
2220
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
2221
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
2222
2223
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
2224
#56322)
2225
2226
BUGFIXES:
2227
2228
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
2229
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
2230
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
2231
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
2232
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
2233
2234
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
2235
based on split paths, not just string paths.
2236
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
2237
2238
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
2239
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
2240
2241
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
2242
into account.
2243
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
2244
2245
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
2246
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
2247
2248
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
2249
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
2250
2251
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
2252
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
2253
2254
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
2255
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
2256
2257
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
2258
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
2259
2260
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
2261
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
2262
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

--------------------
2266
2267
BUGFIXES:
2268
2269
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
2270
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
2271
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
2272
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
2273
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
2274
2275
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
2276
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
2277
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
2278
2279
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
2280
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
2281
2282
IMPROVEMENTS:
2283
2284
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
2285
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
2286
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
2287
2288
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
2289
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
2290
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
2291
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

BUGFIXES:
2297
2298
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
2299
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
2300
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
2301
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
2302
2303
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
2304
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
2305
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
2306
2307
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
2308
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)

to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
2312
2313
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2320
2321
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
2322
it could be recovered again.
2323
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
2324
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
2325
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
2326
but not delete it.
2327
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
2328
files.
2329
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
2330
(Marius Kruger, #82602)

2332
IMPROVEMENTS:
2333
2334
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
2335
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
2336
2337
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
2338
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
2339
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
2340
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
2341
2342
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
2343
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
2344
2345
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
2346
tests with names that match that regular expression.
2347
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
2348
2349
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
2350
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
2351
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
2352
2353
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
2354
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
2355
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
2356
2357
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
2358
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
2359
Robert Collins)
2360
2361
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
2362
Pool)
2363
2364
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
2365
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
2366
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
2367
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
2368
2369
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
2370
(Robert Collins)
2371
2372
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
2373
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
2374
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
2375
(Robert Collins)
2376
2377
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
2378
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
2379
2380
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
2381
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
2382
2383
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
2384
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
2385
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
2386
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
2387
(Robert Collins)
2388
2389
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
2390
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
2391
2392
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
2393
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2394
2395
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
2396
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
2397
(Robert Collins, #107125).
2398
2399
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
2400
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
2401
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
2402
2403
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
2404
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
2405
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2406
2407
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
2408
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
2409
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
2410
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
2411
2412
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
2413
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
2414
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
2415
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
2416
2417
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
2418
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
2419
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
2420
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
2421
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
2422
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
2423
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
2424
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
2425
header(s).
2426
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2427
2428
INTERNALS:
2429
2430
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
2431
code paths. (Robert Collins)
2432
2433
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
2434
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
2435
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
2436
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
2437
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2438
2439
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
2440
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
2441
2442
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
2443
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
2444
2445
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
2446
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
2447
2448
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
2449
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
2450
2451
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
2452
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
2453
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
2454
(Robert Collins).
2455
2456
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
2457
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
2458
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
2459
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
2460
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
2461
(Robert Collins)
2462
2463
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
2464
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
2465
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
2466
2467
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
2468
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
2469
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2470
2471
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
2472
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
2473
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
2474
(Vincent Ladeuil).
2475
2476
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
2477
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
2478
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
2479
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
2480
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
2481
2482
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
2483
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
2484
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
2485
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2486
2487
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
2488
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
2489
2490
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
2491
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
2492
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
2493
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
2494
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
2495
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
2496
2497
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
2498
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
2499
2500
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
2501
help. (Robert Collins)
2502
2503
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
2504
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2505
2506
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
2507
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
2508
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
2509
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
2510
(John Arbash Meinel)
2511
2512
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
2513
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
2514
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
2515
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
2516
useful. (Robert Collins)
2517
2518
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
2519
(Andrew Bennetts)
2520
2521
BUGFIXES:
2522
2523
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
2524
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
2525
2526
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
2527
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
2528
2529
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
2530
properly and is no longer beneficial.
2531
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
2532
2533
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
2534
(Aaron Bentley)
2535
2536
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
2537
the file, and does it faster.
2538
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
2539
2540
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
2541
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
2542
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
2543
2544
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
2545
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
2546
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
2547
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
2548
2549
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
2550
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
2551
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
2552
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
2553
2554
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
2555
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
2556
2557
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
2558
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
2559
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
2560
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
2561
Arbash Meinel)
2562
2563
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
2564
2565
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
2566
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
2567
2568
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
2569
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
2570
2571
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
2572
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
2573
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
2574
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
2575
security hole.
2576
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2577
2578
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
2579
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
2580
2581
TESTING:
2582
2583
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
2584
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
2585
in running it. (Robert Collins)
2586
2587
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
2588
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
2589
2590
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
2591
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
2592
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
2593
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
2594
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
2595
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
2596
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
2597
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2598
2599
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
2600
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
2601
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2602
2603
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
2604
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
2605
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
2606
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
2607
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
2608
access.
2609
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
2610
2611
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
2612
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
2613
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
2614
2615
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
2616
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

-----------------------
2633
2634
CHANGES:
2635
2636
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
2637
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
2638
(Martin Pool)
2639
2640
IMPROVEMENTS:
2641
2642
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
2643
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
2644
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
2645
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
2646
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
2647
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
2648
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
2649
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
2650
path. (vila)
2651
2652
INTERNALS:
2653
2654
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
2655
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
2656
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
2657
2658
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
2659
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
2660
(Martin Pool)
2661
2662
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
2663
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
2664
(John Arbash Meinel)
2665
2666
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
2667
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
2668
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
2669
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
2670
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
2671
2672
BUGFIXES:
2673
2674
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
2675
(vila, #92195)
2676
2677
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
2678
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
2679
2680
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
2681
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
2682
2683
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
2684
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
2685
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
2686
2687
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
2688
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
2689
2690
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
2691
last-changed-revision for directories. The
2692
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
2693
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
2694
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
2695
2696
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
2697
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
2698
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
2699
2700
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

2704
-----------------------
2705
2706
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2707
2708
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
2709
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
2710
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
2711
2712
IMPROVEMENTS:
2713
2714
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
2715
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
2716
2717
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
2718
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
2719
2720
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
2721
2722
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
2723
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
2724
2725
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
2726
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
2727
2728
INTERNALS:
2729
2730
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
2731
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
2732
2733
BUGFIXES:
2734
2735
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
2736
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
2737
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
2738
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
2739
2740
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
2741
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
2742
2743
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
2744
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
2745
2746
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
2747
(Marien Zwart)
2748
2749
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
2754
-----------------------
2755
2756
SURPRISES:
2757
2758
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
2759
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
2760
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
2761
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
2762
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
2763
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
2764
2765
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
2766
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
2767
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
2768
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
2769
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
2770
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
2771
development.

* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
2775
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
2776
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
2777
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
2778
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
2779
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
2780
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
2781
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
2782
2783
IMPROVEMENTS:
2784
2785
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
2786
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
2787
2788
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
2789
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
2790
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
2791
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
2792
does exist.
2793
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
2794
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
2795
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
2796
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
2797
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
2798
2799
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
2800
(Aaron Bentley)
2801
2802
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
2803
(Aaron Bentley)
2804
2805
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
2806
(Robert Collins)
2807
2808
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
2809
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
2810
(Aaron Bentley)
2811
2812
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
2813
(Aaron Bentley)
2814
2815
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
2816
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
2817
2818
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
2819
directory. (Martin Pool)
2820
2821
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
2822
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
2823
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
2824
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
2825
2826
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
2827
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
2828
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
2829
in docs/configuration.txt.
2830
2831
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
2832
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
2833
bind location.
2834
2835
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
2836
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
2837
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
2838
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
2839
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
2840
repositories. (Martin Pool)
2841
2842
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
2843
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2844
2845
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
2846
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
2847
2848
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
2849
(Aaron Bentley)
2850
2851
INTERNALS:
2852
2853
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
2854
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
2855
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
2856
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
2857
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
2858
(John Arbash Meinel)
2859
2860
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
2861
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
2862
(Aaron Bentley)
2863
2864
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
2865
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
2866
(John Arbash Meinel)
2867
2868
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
2869
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
2870
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
2871
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
2872
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
2873
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
2874
2875
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
2876
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
2877
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
2878
2879
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
2880
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
2881
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
2882
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
2883
repository.
2884
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2885
2886
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
2887
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
2888
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
2889
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
2890
2891
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
2892
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
2893
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
2894
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
2895
2896
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
2897
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
2898
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
2899
2900
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
2901
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
2902
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
2903
2904
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
2905
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
2906
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
2907
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
2908
2909
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
2910
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
2911
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
2912
2913
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
2914
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
2915
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
2916
2917
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
2918
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
2919
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
2920
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
2921
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
2922
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
2923
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
2924
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
2925
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
2926
http://code.aaronbentley.com/bzr/bzrrepo/nested-trees/
2927
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
2928
2929
BUGFIXES:
2930
2931
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
2932
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
2933
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
2934
2935
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
2936
(Aaron Bentley)
2937
2938
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
2939
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
2940
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
2941
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
2942
2943
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
2944
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
2945
#83954).
2946
2947
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
2948
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
2949
2950
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
2951
2952
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
2953
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
2954
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
2955
2956
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
2957
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
2958
2959
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
2960
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
2961
2962
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
2963
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
2964
2965
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
2966
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
2967
2968
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
2969
2970
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
2971
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
2972
2973
TESTING:
2974
2975
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
2976
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

2982
IMPROVEMENTS:
2983
2984
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
2985
2986
BUG FIXES:
2987
2988
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
2989
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
2990
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
2991
2992
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
2993
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
2994
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
2998
-----------------------
2999
3000
IMPROVEMENTS:
3001
3002
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
3003
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
3004
server, then you can write over the http connection.
3005
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3006
3007
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
3008
(Marius Kruger)
3009
3010
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
3011
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
3012
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
3013
3014
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
3015
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
3016
3017
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
3018
(Aaron Bentley)
3019
3020
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
3021
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
3022
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
3023
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
3024
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
3025
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
3026
3027
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
3028
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
3029
should enable you to do::
3030
3031
[/home/user/project]
3032
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
3033
push_location:policy = appendpath
3034
3035
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
3036
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
3037
(James Henstridge)
3038
3039
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
3040
for each file. For example::
3041
3042
$ bzr status --short
3043
A foo
3044
A bar
3045
D baz
3046
? wooley
3047
3048
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
3049
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
3050
3051
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
3052
3053
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
3054
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
3055
3056
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
3057
3058
INTERNALS:
3059
3060
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
3061
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
3062
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
3063
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
3064
3065
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
3066
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
3067
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
3068
3069
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3070
3071
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
3072
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
3073
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
3074
(Alexander Belchenko)
3075
3076
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
3077
Pool)
3078
3079
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
3080
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
3081
3082
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
3083
3084
BUG FIXES:
3085
3086
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
3087
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
3088
3089
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
3090
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
3091
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
3092
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
3093
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
3094
3095
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
3096
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
3097
3098
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
3099
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
3100
3101
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
3102
matcher.
3103
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
3104
3105
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
3106
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
3107
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
3108
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
3109
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
3110
3111
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
3112
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
3113
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
3114
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
3115
3116
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
3117
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
3118
3119
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
3120
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
3121
3122
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
3123
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)
3124
3125
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

IMPROVEMENTS:
3138
3139
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
3140
tree from a branch.
3141
(Daniel Silverstone)
3142
3143
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
3144
operations are substantially faster.
3145
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
3146
3147
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
3148
tree from some other url. For example:
3149
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
3150
(Daniel Silverstone)
3151
3152
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
3153
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
3154
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
3155
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
3156
3157
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
3158
(Andrew Bennetts)
3159
3160
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
3161
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
3162
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
3163
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
3164
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
3165
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
3166
3167
INTERNALS:
3168
3169
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
3170
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
3171
(Martin Pool)
3172
3173
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3174
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3175
(John Arbash Meinel)
3176
3177
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
3178
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
3179
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
3180
(John Arbash Meinel)
3181
3182
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
3183
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
3184
3185
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
3186
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3187
3188
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
3189
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
3190
Bennetts)
3191
3192
BUG FIXES:
3193
3194
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
3195
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
3196
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
3197
3198
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
3199
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
3200
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
3201
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
3202
3203
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
3204
3205
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
3206
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
3207
3208
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
3209
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
3210
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
3211
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
3212
3213
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
3214
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
3215
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
3216
3217
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
3218
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
3219
them as full references rather than integers.
3220
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
3221
3222
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
3223
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
3224
3225
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
3226
3227
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.

(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
3229
3230
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
3231
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
3232
3233
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
3234
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
3235
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
3236
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
3237
3238
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
3239
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
3240
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
3241
3242
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
3243
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
3244
3245
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
3246
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
3247
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
3248
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
3249
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
3250
3251
TESTING:
3252
3253
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
3254
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

3257
--------------------
3258
3259
INTERNALS:
3260
3261
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3262
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3263
(John Arbash Meinel)
3264
3265
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
3266
-----------------------
3267
3268
IMPROVEMENTS:
3269
3270
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
3271
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
3272
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
3273
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
3274
3275
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
3276
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
3277
3278
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
3279
3280
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
3281
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
3282
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
3283
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
3284
3285
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
3286
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
3287
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
3288
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
3289
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
3290
3291
API INCOMPATABILITY:
3292
3293
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
3294
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
3295
3296
INTERNALS:
3297
3298
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
3299
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
3300
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3301
3302
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
3303
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
3304
(John Arbash Meinel)
3305
3306
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
3307
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
3308
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
3309
3310
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
3311
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
3312
(Aaron Bentley)
3313
3314
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
3315
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
3316
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3317
3318
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
3319
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
3320
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
3321
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
3322
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
3323
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3324
3325
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
3326
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
3327
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
3328
(Robert Collins)
3329
3330
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
3331
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
3332
3333
BUG FIXES:
3334
3335
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
3336
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
3337
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
3338
#63360, #66349)
3339
3340
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
3341
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
3342
3343
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
3344
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
3345
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
3346
3347
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
3348
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
3349
3350
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
3351
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
3352
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
3353
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
3354
3355
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
3356
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
3357
3358
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
3359
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
3360
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
3361
3362
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
3363
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
3364
3365
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
3366
3367
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
3368
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
3369
#32054)
3370
3371
TESTING:
3372
3373
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
3374
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
3375
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
3376
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
3377
3378
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
3379
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
3380
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3381
3382
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

3398
-----------------------
3399
3400
IMPROVEMENTS:
3401
3402
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
3403
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
3404
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
3405
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
3406
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
3407
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
3408
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
3409
3410
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
3411
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
3412
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
3413
3414
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
3415
3416
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
3417
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
3418
3419
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
3420
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
3421
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
3422
(Robert Collins)
3423
3424
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
3425
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
3426
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
3427
(John Arbash Meinel)
3428
3429
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
3430
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
3431
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
3432
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
3433
Pool)
3434
3435
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
3436
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
3437
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
3438
(John Arbash Meinel)
3439
3440
BUG FIXES:
3441
3442
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
3443
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
3444
3445
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
3446
3447
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
3448
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
3449
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
3450
3451
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
3452
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
3453
3454
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
3455
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
3456
3457
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
3458
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
3459
3460
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
3461
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
3462
3463
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
3464
3465
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
3466
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
3467
3468
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
3469
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
3470
3471
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
3472
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
3473
3474
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
3475
(John Arbash Meinel)
3476
3477
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
3478
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
3479
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
3480
3481
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
3482
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3483
3484
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
3485
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
3486
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
3487
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
3488
3489
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
3490
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
3491
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
3492
3493
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
3494
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
3495
3496
PORTABILITY:
3497
3498
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
3499
3500
INTERNALS:
3501
3502
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
3503
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
3504
(John Arbash Meinel)
3505
3506
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
3507
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
3508
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
3509
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
3510
3511
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
3512
(Andrew Bennetts)
3513
3514
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
3515
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
3516
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
3517
3518
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
3519
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
3520
3521
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
3522
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
3523
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
3524
3525
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
3526
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
3527
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
3528
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
3529
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
3530
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
3531
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
3532
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
3533
caller to repeat their request.
3534
(John Arbash Meinel)
3535
3536
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
3537
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
3538
3539
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
3540
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
3541
3542
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
3543
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
3544
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
3545
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
3546
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
3547
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
3548
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
3549
3550
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
3551
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
3552
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
3553
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
3554
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
3555
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
3556
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
3557
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
3558
(Robert Collins)
3559
3560
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
3561
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
3562
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
3563
3564
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
3565
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
3566
3567
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
3568
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
3569
3570
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
3571
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3572
3573
TESTING:
3574
3575
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
3576
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
3577
3578
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
3579
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
3580
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3581
3582
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
3583
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
3584
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3585
3586
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
3587
--------------------
3588
3589
IMPROVEMENTS:
3590
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
3591
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
3592
3593
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
3594
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
3595
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
3596
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
3597
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
3598
3599
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
3600
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
3601
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
3602
3603
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
3604
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
3605
3606
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
3607
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
3608
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
3609
3610
BUG FIXES:
3611
3612
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
3613
3614
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
3615
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
3616
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
3617
3618
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
3619
3620
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
3621
3622
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
3623
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
3624
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
3625
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
3626
3627
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
3628
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
3629
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
3630
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
3631
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
3632
3633
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
3634
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
3635
3636
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
3637
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
3638
3639
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
3640
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
3641
3642
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
3643
in handling of revision properties.
3644
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
3645
3646
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
3647
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
3648
3649
INTERNALS:
3650
3651
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
3652
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
3653
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
3654
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
3655
(John Arbash Meinel)
3656
3657
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
3658
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
3659
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)

bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
3662
---------------------
3663
3664
SURPRISES:
3665
3666
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
3667
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
3668
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
3669
specific one '.bzrignore'.
3670
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
3671
a more conservative list than the old default.
3672
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
3673
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
3674
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
3675
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
3676
3677
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
3678
to more locations than just branch locations.
3679
(Aaron Bentley)
3680
3681
IMPROVEMENTS:
3682
3683
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
3684
revno:N:branch. For example,
3685
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
3686
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
3687
3688
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
3689
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
3690
the path of a file that has been versioned.
3691
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
3692
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
3693
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
3694
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
3695
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
3696
#42517, #42514)
3697
3698
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
3699
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
3700
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
3701
(Malone #3507)
3702
3703
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
3704
(Alexander Belchenko)
3705
3706
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
3707
3708
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
3709
(Robert Collins).
3710
3711
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
3712
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
3713
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
3714
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
3715
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
3716
(John Arbash Meinel)
3717
3718
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
3719
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
3720
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
3721
grained analysis of performance.
3722
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
3723
3724
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
3725
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
3726
3727
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
3728
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
3729
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
3730
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
3731
file. (Robert Collins).
3732
3733
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
3734
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
3735
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
3736
3737
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
3738
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
3739
Matthieu Moy)
3740
3741
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
3742
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
3743
3744
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
3745
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
3746
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
3747
the same way you would apply another branch.
3748
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
3749
3750
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
3751
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
3752
3753
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
3754
(Michael Ellerman)
3755
3756
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
3757
(Aaron Bentley)
3758
3759
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
3760
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
3761
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
3762
3763
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
3764
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
3765
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
3766
3767
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
3768
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
3769
3770
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
3771
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
3772
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
3773
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
3774
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
3775
3776
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
3777
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
3778
3779
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
3780
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
3781
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
3782
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
3783
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
3784
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
3785
branch is as much as 4x faster.
3786
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
3787
3788
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
3789
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
3790
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
3791
3792
BUG FIXES:
3793
3794
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
3795
tests not to run.
3796
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
3797
3798
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
3799
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3800
3801
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
3802
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
3803
3804
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
3805
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
3806
3807
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
3808
3809
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
3810
(John Arbash Meinel)
3811
3812
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
3813
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
3814
3815
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
3816
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
3817
and y.
3818
3819
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
3820
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
3821
3822
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
3823
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
3824
3825
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
3826
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
3827
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
3828
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
3829
3830
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
3831
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
3832
3833
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
3834
3835
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
3836
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
3837
3838
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
3839
3840
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
3841
3842
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
3843
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
3844
3845
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
3846
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
3847
3848
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
3849
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
3850
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
3851
3852
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
3853
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
3854
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
3855
3856
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
3857
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
3858
3859
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
3860
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
3861
3862
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
3863
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
3864
3865
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
3866
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
3867
3868
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
3869
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
3870
3871
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
3872
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
3873
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
3874
3875
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
3876
3877
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
3878
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
3879
3880
INTERNALS:
3881
3882
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
3883
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
3884
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
3885
3886
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
3887
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
3888
3889
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
3890
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
3891
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3892
3893
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
3894
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
3895
3896
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
3897
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
3898
(Martin Pool)
3899
3900
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
3901
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
3902
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3903
3904
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
3905
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
3906
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
3907
3908
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
3909
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
3910
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
3911
3912
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
3913
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
3914
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
3915
3916
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
3917
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
3918
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
3919
3920
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
3921
instead. (Robert Collins)
3922
3923
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

3935
BUG FIXES:
3936
3937
* Fix failure to commit a merge in a checkout. (Martin Pool,
3938
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
3939
3940
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
3941
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3942
3943
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
3944
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.
3945
(Olaf Conradi, #44443)
3946
3947
CHANGES:
3948
3949
* Do not show the None revision in output of bzr ancestry. (Olaf Conradi)
3950
3951
* Add info on standalone branches without a working tree.
3952
(Olaf Conradi, #44155)
3953
3954
* Fix bug in knits when raising InvalidRevisionId. (Olaf Conradi, #44284)
3955
3956
CHANGES:
3957
3958
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
3959
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
3960
alternatives system. If that all fails, fall back to the pre-defined
3961
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
3962
3963
NEW FEATURES:
3964
3965
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
3966
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
3967
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
3968
3969
INTERNALS:
3970
3971
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which
3972
provides a human description of the changes between two old and
3973
new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3974
3975
TESTING:
3976
3977
* Fix test case for bzr info in upgrading a standalone branch to metadir,
3978
uses bzrlib api now. (Olaf Conradi)
3979
3980
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
3981
-------------------
3982
3983
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3984
3985
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
3986
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
3987
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
3988
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
3989
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
3990
will keep the same format.
3991
3992
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
3993
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
3994
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
3995
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
3996
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
3997
3998
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
3999
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
4000
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
4001
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
4002
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
4003
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
4004
indicating the current revision of the branch.
4005
4006
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
4007
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
4008
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
4009
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
4010
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
4011
4012
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
4013
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
4014
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
4015
arrangement.
4016
4017
4018
IMPROVEMENTS:
4019
4020
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
4021
convention. Paths now take the form::
4022
4023
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
4024
or
4025
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
4026
4027
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
4028
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
4029
4030
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
4031
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
4032
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
4033
4034
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
4035
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
4036
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
4037
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
4038
4039
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
4040
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
4041
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
4042
4043
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
4044
4045
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
4046
4047
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
4048
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
4049
commits::
4050
4051
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
4052
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
4053
| xargs bzr re-sign
4054
4055
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
4056
4057
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
4058
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
4059
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
4060
(Robert Collins)
4061
4062
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
4063
4064
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
4065
4066
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
4067
'.moved'.
4068
4069
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
4070
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
4071
4072
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
4073
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
4074
Daniel Silverstone)
4075
4076
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
4077
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
4078
Martin Pool)
4079
4080
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
4081
4082
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
4083
4084
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
4085
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
4086
4087
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
4088
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
4089
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
4090
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
4091
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
4092
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
4093
4094
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
4095
4096
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
4097
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
4098
(Robert Collins)
4099
4100
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
4101
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
4102
4103
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
4104
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
4105
4106
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
4107
4108
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
4109
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
4110
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
4111
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
4112
specification by Martin Pool.
4113
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
4114
4115
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
4116
Belchenko)
4117
4118
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
4119
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4120
4121
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
4122
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
4123
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
4124
4125
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
4126
4127
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
4128
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
4129
(Robert Collins)
4130
4131
CHANGES:
4132
4133
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
4134
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4135
4136
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
4137
4138
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
4139
4140
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
4141
(Olaf Conradi)
4142
4143
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
4144
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
4145
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
4146
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
4147
4148
INTERNALS:
4149
4150
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
4151
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
4152
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
4153
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4154
4155
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
4156
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
4157
tried. (Martin Pool)
4158
4159
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
4160
(Martin Pool)
4161
4162
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
4163
4164
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
4165
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
4166
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
4167
4168
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
4169
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
4170
4171
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
4172
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
4173
paths. (Robert Collins)
4174
4175
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
4176
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
4177
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
4178
4179
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
4180
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
4181
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
4182
4183
* Progress bars are now nested - see
4184
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
4185
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4186
4187
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
4188
(Olaf Conradi)
4189
4190
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
4191
(Olaf Conradi)
4192
4193
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
4194
4195
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
4196
4197
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
4198
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
4199
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
4200
(Robert Collins)
4201
4202
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
4203
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
4204
4205
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
4206
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
4207
check. (Robert Collins)
4208
4209
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
4210
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
4211
4212
TESTING:
4213
4214
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
4215
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
4216
4217
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
4218
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
4219
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
4220
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
4221
4222
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
4223
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
4224
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
4225
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
4226
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
4227
4228
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
4229
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
4230
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
4231
4232
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
4233
4234
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
4235
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
4236

bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
4238
------------------
4239
4240
CHANGES:
4241
4242
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
4243
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
4244
4245
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
4246
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
4247
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
4248
(Johan Rydberg)
4249
4250
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
4251
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
4252
4253
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
4254
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
4255
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
4256
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
4257
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
4258
4259
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
4260
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
4261
used. (Robert Collins)
4262
4263
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
4264
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
4265
(James Henstridge)
4266
4267
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
4268
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
4269
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
4270
4271
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
4272
ignore list.
4273
4274
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
4275
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
4276
4277
IMPROVEMENTS:
4278
4279
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
4280
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
4281
4282
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
4283
4284
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
4285
4286
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
4287
tree. (Robert Collins)
4288
4289
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
4290
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
4291
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
4292
(Robert Collins)
4293
4294
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
4295
that they be kept.
4296
4297
* Tweaks to short log printing
4298
4299
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
4300
(Aaron Bentley)
4301
4302
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
4303
occurs. (Martin Pool)
4304
4305
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
4306
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
4307
4308
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
4309
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
4310
4311
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
4312
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
4313
settings. (Magnus Therning)
4314
4315
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
4316
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
4317
4318
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
4319
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
4320
requests.
4321
4322
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
4323
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
4324
4325
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
4326
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
4327
4328
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
4329
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
4330
4331
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
4332
(Denys Duchier)
4333
4334
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
4335
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
4336
4337
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
4338
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
4339
4340
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
4341
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
4342
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
4343
4344
BUG FIXES:
4345
4346
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
4347
4348
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4349
4350
* Error when run with -OO
4351
4352
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
4353
(Martin Pool)
4354
4355
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
4356
4357
* Change status to 3 for all errors
4358
4359
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
4360
ignored by diff and status
4361
4362
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
4363
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
4364
4365
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
4366
4367
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
4368
4369
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
4370
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
4371
4372
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
4373
email address. (Marien Zwart)
4374
4375
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
4376
(Harald Meland)
4377
4378
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
4379
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4380
4381
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
4382
4383
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
4384
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
4385
4386
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
4387
(Martin Pool)
4388
4389
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
4390
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
4391
4392
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
4393
4394
TESTING:
4395
4396
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
4397
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
4398
4399
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
4400
4401
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4402
4403
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
4404
4405
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
4406
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
4407
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
4408
4409
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
4410
4411
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
4412
(John Arbash Meinel)
4413
4414
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
4415
4416
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
4417
If adding a new test script please add that to
4418
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
4419
4420
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
4421
imported. (Martin Pool)
4422
4423
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
4424
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
4425
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
4426
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
4427
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
4428
(Robert Collins)
4429
4430
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
4431
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
4432
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
4433
4434
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
4435
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
4436
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4437
4438
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
4439
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
4440
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
4441
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
4442
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
4443
(Robert Collins).
4444
4445
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
4446
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
4447
(Robert Collins).
4448
4449
INTERNALS:
4450
4451
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
4452
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
4453
4454
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
4455
function. (Robert Collins)
4456
4457
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
4458
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
4459
if needed). (Robert Collins)
4460
4461
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
4462
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
4463
(Robert Collins)
4464
4465
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
4466
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
4467
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
4468
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
4469
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
4470
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
4471
version. (Robert Collins)
4472
4473
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
4474
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
4475
4476
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
4477
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
4478
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
4479
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
4480
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
4481
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
4482
4483
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
4484
(Robert Collins)
4485
4486
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
4487
4488
add()
4489
commit()
4490
move()
4491
rename_one()
4492
unknowns()
4493
4494
(Robert Collins)
4495
4496
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
4497
4498
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
4499
4500
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
4501
Pool)
4502
4503
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
4504
query method. (Robert Collins)
4505
4506
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
4507
(Denys Duchier)
4508
4509
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
4510
(Michael Ellerman)
4511
4512
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
4513
(Michael Ellerman)
4514
4515
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
4516
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
4517
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
4518
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
4519
4520
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
4521
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
4522
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
4523
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
4524
4525
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
4526
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)

4531
IMPROVEMENTS:
4532
4533
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
4534
(John A Meinel)
4535
4536
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
4537
conflicts.
4538
(Aaron Bentley)
4539
4540
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
4541
a separator, not ':'.
4542
(Aaron Bentley)
4543
4544
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
4545
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
4546
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
4547
4548
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
4549
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
4550
(Robert Collins)
4551
4552
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
4553
has been added that suppresses all output.
4554
4555
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
4556
Adams.
4557
4558
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
4559
Goffredo Baroncelli.
4560
4561
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
4562
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
4563
4564
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
4565
a revision. (Robert Collins)
4566
4567
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
4568
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
4569
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
4570
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
4571
4572
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
4573
4574
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
4575
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
4576
4577
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
4578
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
4579
4580
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
4581
output directory, if one was supplied.
4582
4583
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
4584
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
4585
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
4586
parameters. (Robert Collins)
4587
4588
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
4589
4590
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
4591
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
4592
4593
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
4594
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
4595
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
4596
4597
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
4598
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
4599
4600
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
4601
(Aaron Bentley)
4602
4603
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
4604
4605
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
4606
4607
TESTING:
4608
4609
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
4610
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
4611
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
4612
4613
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
4614
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
4615
related questions. (Robert Collins)
4616
4617
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
4618
is given. (Martin Pool)
4619
4620
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
4621
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
4622
file. (Robert Collins)
4623
4624
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
4625
(Martin Pool)
4626
4627
INTERNALS:
4628
4629
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
4630
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
4631
representation. (Martin Pool).
4632
4633
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
4634
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
4635
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
4636
4637
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4638
(Robert Collins)
4639
4640
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
4641
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
4642
Magnus Therning.
4643
4644
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
4645
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
4646
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
4647
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
4648
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
4649
4650
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
4651
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
4652
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
4653
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
4654
python path. (Robert Collins)
4655
4656
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
4657
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
4658
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
4659
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
4660
4661
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
4662
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
4663
4664
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
4665
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
4666
(Robert Collins)
4667
4668
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
4669
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
4670
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
4671
4672
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
4673
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
4674
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
4675
4676
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4677
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4678
4679
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
4680
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
4681
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
4682
(Robert Collins)
4683
4684
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
4685
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
4686
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
4687
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
4688
(Robert Collins)
4689
4690
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
4691
(Robert Collins)
4692
4693
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
4694
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
4695
(Robert Collins)
4696
4697
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
4698
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
4699
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
4700
4701
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
4702
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
4703
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
4704
4705
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
4706
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
4707
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
4708
4709
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
4710
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
4711
4712
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
4713
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
4714
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
4715
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
4716
caller. (Robert Collins)
4717
4718
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
4719
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
4720
(Robert Collins).
4721
4722
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
4723
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
4724
(Aaron Bentley)
4725
4726
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
4727
4728
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
4729
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
4730
4731
BUG FIXES:
4732
4733
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
4734
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
4735
4736
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
4737
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)
4738
4739
4740
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
4741
--------------------
4742
4743
BUG FIXES:
4744
4745
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
4746
allow directories to be listed.
4747
4748
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
4749
upgrading branch format.
4750
4751
PERFORMANCE:
4752
4753
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
4754
4755
4756
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
4757
------------------
4758
4759
NOTES:
4760
4761
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
4762
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
4763
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
4764
high-latency connections.
4765
4766
BUG FIXES:
4767
4768
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
4769
Rob Weir.
4770
4771
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
4772
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
4773
4774
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
4775
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
4776
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
4777
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4778
4779
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
4780
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
4781
4782
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
4783
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
4784
4785
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
4786
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
4787
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
4788
4789
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
4790
for files with only a change to their executable status.
4791
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
4792
Robert Collins
4793
4794
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
4795
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
4796
4797
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
4798
different partial views of history.
4799
4800
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
4801
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
4802
4803
IMPROVEMENTS:
4804
4805
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
4806
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
4807
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4808
4809
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
4810
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
4811
'bzr upgrade'.
4812
4813
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
4814
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
4815
4816
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
4817
Niemeyer.
4818
4819
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
4820
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
4821
4822
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
4823
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
4824
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
4825
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
4826
4827
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
4828
4829
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
4830
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
4831
Gustavo Niemeyer.
4832
4833
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
4834
Contributed by Robert Collins.
4835
4836
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
4837
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
4838
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
4839
4840
4841
INTERNALS:
4842
4843
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
4844
for your viewing pleasure.
4845
4846
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
4847
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
4848
4849
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
4850
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
4851
handling of such circumstances.
4852
4853
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
4854
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
4855
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
4856
4857
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
4858
4859
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
4860
we call them revisions not patches.
4861
4862
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
4863
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
4864
4865
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
4866
giving the revision *of that file*.
4867
4868
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
4869
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
4870
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
4871
4872
TESTING:
4873
4874
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
4875
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
4876
4877
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
4878
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
4879
4880
4881
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
4882
--------------------
4883
4884
BUG FIXES:
4885
4886
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
4887
4888
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
4889
(Robert Collins).
4890
4891
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
4892
4893
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
4894
4895
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
4896
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4897
4898
IMPROVEMENTS:
4899
4900
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
4901
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
4902
4903
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
4904
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
4905
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
4906
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
4907
Robey Pointer
4908
4909
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
4910
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
4911
4912
INTERNALS:
4913
4914
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
4915
4916
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
4917
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
4918
4919
4920
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
4921
--------------------
4922
4923
IMPROVEMENTS:
4924
4925
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
4926
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
4927
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
4928
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
4929
Michael Ellerman.
4930
4931
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
4932
(Nir Soffer)
4933
4934
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
4935
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
4936
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
4937
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
4938
for the operating system is still tried.
4939
4940
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
4941
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
4942
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
4943
4944
4945
INTERNALS:
4946
4947
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
4948
4949
BUG FIXES:
4950
4951
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
4952
4953
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
4954
branch.
4955
4956
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
4957
read.
4958
4959
4960
PORTABILITY:
4961
4962
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
4963
4964
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.

bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
4968
--------------------
4969
4970
NEW FEATURES:
4971
4972
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
4973
help with intelligent shell completion.
4974
4975
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
4976
4977
4978
ENHANCEMENTS:
4979
4980
* Much better merge support.
4981
4982
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
4983
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
4984
like emacs smerge.
4985
4986
4987
BUG FIXES:
4988
4989
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
4990
mention revisions that are not present.
4991
4992
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
4993
4994
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
4995
4996
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
4997
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
4998
4999
5000
CHANGES:
5001
5002
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
5003
5004
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
5005
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
5006
--help themselves.
5007
5008
5009
LIBRARY:
5010
5011
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
5012
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
5013
libraries.

5016
5017
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
5018
--------------------
5019
5020
NEW FEATURES:
5021
5022
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
5023
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
5024
5025
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
5026
5027
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
5028
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
5029
5030
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
5031
FOO.
5032
5033
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
5034
5035
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
5036
the Unix command.
5037
5038
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
5039
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
5040
5041
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
5042
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
5043
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
5044
5045
5046
ENHANCEMENTS:
5047
5048
* Faster working tree operations.
5049
5050
5051
CHANGES:
5052
5053
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
5054
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
5055
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
5056
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
5057
5058
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
5059
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
5060
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
5061
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
5062
standard plugins directory.
5063
5064
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
5065
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
5066
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
5067
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
5068
5069
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
5070
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
5071
5072
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
5073
disk.
5074
5075
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
5076
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
5077
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
5078
5079
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
5080
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
5081
5082
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
5083
line options must come before the command name because they
5084
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
5085
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
5086
it.
5087
5088
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
5089
5090
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
5091
is available with ``--short``.
5092
5093
5094
BUG FIXES:
5095
5096
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.

* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
5105
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5106
5107
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
5108
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
5109
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
5110
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
5111
5112
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
5113
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
5114
with the ``--forward`` option.
5115
5116
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
5117
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
5118
field.

* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
6
5124
of the user identification, from Jo Vermeulen.

* New 'bzr ignore PATTERN' command.
5126
* New ``bzr ignore PATTERN`` command.
9
5127
10
5128
* Nicer error message for broken pipe, interrupt and similar
11
5129
conditions that don't indicate an internal error.
12
5130
13
* Add ``.*.swp .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
5131
* Add ``.*.sw[nop] .git .*.tmp *,v`` to default ignore patterns.
14
5132
15
5133
* Per-branch locks keyed on ``.bzr/branch-lock``, available in
16
5134
either read or write mode.
25
5143
* New option ``bzr commit --file`` to take a message from a file,
26
5144
suggested by LarstiQ.
27
5145
28
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz Oler.
5146
* New syntax ``bzr status [FILE...]`` contributed by Bartosz
5147
Oler. File may be in a branch other than the working directory.
5148
5149
* ``bzr log`` and ``bzr root`` can be given an http URL instead of
5150
a filename.
5151
5152
* Commands can now be defined by external programs or scripts
5153
in a directory on $BZRPATH.
5154
5155
* New "stat cache" avoids reading the contents of files if they
5156
haven't changed since the previous time.
5157
5158
* If the Python interpreter is too old, try to find a better one
5159
or give an error. Based on a patch from Fredrik Lundh.
5160
5161
* New optional parameter ``bzr info [BRANCH]``.
5162
5163
* New form ``bzr commit SELECTED`` to commit only selected files.
5164
5165
* New form ``bzr log -r FROM:TO`` shows changes in selected
5166
range; contributed by John A Meinel.
5167
5168
* New option ``bzr diff --diff-options 'OPTS'`` allows passing
5169
options through to an external GNU diff.
5170
5171
* New option ``bzr add --no-recurse`` to add a directory but not
5172
their contents.
5173
5174
* ``bzr --version`` now shows more information if bzr is being run
5175
from a branch.
5176
5177
5178
BUG FIXES:
5179
5180
* Fixed diff format so that added and removed files will be
5181
handled properly by patch. Fix from Lalo Martins.
5182
5183
* Various fixes for files whose names contain spaces or other
5184
metacharacters.

TESTING:
40
5196
* testbzr also runs the internal tests, so the only command
41
5197
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
42
5198
5199
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
5200
under a different version.
5201
5202
* Tests added for many other changes in this release.

5215
this is called trace messages are just discarded.
55
5216
56
* New internal function find_touching_revisions() and hidden
5217
* New internal function ``find_touching_revisions()`` and hidden
57
5218
command touching-revisions trace the changes to a given file.
58
5219
59
* Simpler and faster compare_inventories() function.

5232
2.4 is now only recommended.
