CHANGES:
11
12
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
13
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
14
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
15
(Martin Pool)
16
17
FEATURES:
18
19
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
20
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
21
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
22
(Lukáš Lalinský)
23
24
BUG FIXES:
25
26
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
27
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
28
29
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
30
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
31
32
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
33
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
34
35
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
36
(Aaron Bentley)
37
38
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
39
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
40
41
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
42
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
43
44
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
45
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
46
47
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
48
(Blake Winton, #129299)
49
50
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
51
52
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
53
Watkins, #106726)
54
55
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
56
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
57
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
58
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
59
60
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
61
62
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
63
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
64
#133548)
65
66
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
67
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
68
69
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
70
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
71
#116143)
72
73
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
74
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
75
76
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
77
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
78
79
IMPROVEMENTS:
80
81
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
82
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
83
84
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
85
(Aaron Bentley)
86
87
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
88
(Aaron Bentley)
89
90
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
91
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
92
93
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
94
95
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
96
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
97
98
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
99
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
100
101
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
102
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
103
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
104
space). (Robert Collins)
105
106
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
107
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
108
(Ian Clatworthy)
109
110
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
111
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
112
113
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
114
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
115
116
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
117
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
118
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
119
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
120
121
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
122
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
123
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
124
(Lukáš Lalinský)
125
126
API BREAKS:
127
128
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
129
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
130
131
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
132
previous release. (Martin Pool)
133
134
TESTING:
135
136
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
137
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
138
139
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
140
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
141
142
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
143
previous release. (Martin Pool)
144
145
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
146
(Aaron Bentley)
147
148
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
149
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
150
151
INTERNALS:
152
153
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
154
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
155
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
156
its version information. (Robert Collins)
157
158
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
159
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
160
161
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
162
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
163
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
164
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
165
166
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
167
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
168
(Robert Collins)
169
170
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
171
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
172
173
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
174
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
175
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
176
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
177
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
178
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
179
180
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
181
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
182
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
183
184
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
185
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
186
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
187
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
188
protocol.
189
190
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
191
(Aaron Bentley)
192

bzr 0.90 2007-08-28
195
===================
196
197
IMPROVEMENTS:
198
199
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
200
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
201
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
202
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
203
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
204
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
205
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.
206
(Ian Clatworthy, Sabin Iacob, Alexander Belchenko)
207
208
209
API CHANGES:
210
211
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
212
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
213
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
214
215
216
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
217
======================
218
219
BUGFIXES:
220
221
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
222
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
223
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
224
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
225
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
226
227
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
228
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
229
230
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
231
anymore.
232
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
233
234
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
235
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
236
(Vincent Ladeuil)
237
238
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
239
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
240
#111664)
241
242
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
243
(Lukáš Lalinský)
244
245
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
246
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
247
248
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
249
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
250
251
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
252
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
253
254
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
255
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
256
257
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
258
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
259
260
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
261
(Aaron Bentley)
262
263
IMPROVEMENTS:
264
265
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
266
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
267
268
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
269
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
270
271
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
272
the repository (Robert Collins)
273
274
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
275
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
276
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
277
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
278
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
279
280
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
281
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
282
283
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
284
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
285
(John Arbash Meinel)
286
287
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
288
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
289
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
290
about 10%).
291
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
292
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
293
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
294
(John Arbash Meinel)
295
296
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
297
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
298
(Robert Collins)
299
300
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
301
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
302
303
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
304
(Ian Clatworthy)
305
306
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
307
308
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
309
310
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
311
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
312
313
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
314
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
315
Meinel)
316
317
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
318
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
319
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
320
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
321
322
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
323
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
324
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
325
326
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
327
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
328
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
329
330
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
331
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
332
333
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
334
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
335
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
336
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
337
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
338
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
339
(Ian Clatworthy)
340
341
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
342
(Alexander Belchenko)
343
344
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
345
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
346
347
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
348
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
349
350
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
351
352
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
353
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
354
355
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
356
357
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
358
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
359
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
360
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
361
362
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
363
364
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
365
(Robert Collins)
366
367
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
368
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
369
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
370
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
371
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
372
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
373
374
INTERNALS:
375
376
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
377
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
378
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
379
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
380
381
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
382
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
383
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
384
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
385
tests have been refactored too.
386
(Vincent Ladeuil)
387
388
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
389
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
390
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
391
list, it will.
392
(Vincent Ladeuil)
393
394
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
395
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
396
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
397
398
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
399
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
400
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
401
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
402
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
403
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
404
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
405
406
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
407
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
408
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
409
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
410
(John Arbash Meinel)
411
412
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
413
functionality for testing.
414
415
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
416
417
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
418
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
419
420
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
421
422
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
423
(Robert Collins)
424
425
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
426
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
427
428
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
429
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
430
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
431
432
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
433
(Aaron Bentley)
434
435
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
436
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
437
438
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
439
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
440
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
441
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
442
443
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
444
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
445
446
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
447
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
448
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
449
450
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
451
(Marius Kruger)
452
453
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
454
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
455
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
456
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
457
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
458
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
459
460
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
461
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
462
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
463
many files. (Robert Collins)
464
465
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
466
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
467
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
468
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
469
470
TESTING:
471
472
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
473
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
474
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
475
476
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
477
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
478
479
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
480
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
481
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

bzr 0.18rc1 2007-07-10
493
=======================
494
495
BUGFIXES:
496
497
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
498
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
499
500
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
501
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
502
(James Westby, #122656)
503
504
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
505
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
506
507
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
508
authentication header.
509
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
510
511
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
512
513
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
514
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
515
516
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
517
518
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
519
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
520
521
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
522
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
523
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
524
525
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
526
individually and as part of revision ranges.
527
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
528
529
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
530
(Martin Pool, #109169)
531
532
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
533
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
534
535
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
536
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
537
538
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
539
540
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
541
542
IMPROVEMENTS:
543
544
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
545
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
546
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
547
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
548
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
549
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
550
551
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
552
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
553
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
554
555
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
556
(Elliot Murphy)
557
558
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
559
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
560
561
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
562
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
563
564
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
565
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
566
567
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
568
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
569
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
570
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
571
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
572
573
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
574
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
575
576
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
577
can be slow it is useful feedback).
578
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
579
580
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
581
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
582
583
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
584
585
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
586
output. (Aaron Bentley)
587
588
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
589
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
590
(Robert Collins)
591
592
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
593
(Martin Pool)
594
595
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
596
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
597
598
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
599
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
600
601
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
602
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
603
604
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
605
606
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
607
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
608
609
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
610
(Andrew Bennetts)
611
612
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
613
614
* Testing cleanups -
615
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
616
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
617
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
618
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
619
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
620
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
621
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
622
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
623
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
624
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
625
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
626
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
627
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
628
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
629
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
630
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
631
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
632
(Robert Collins)
633
634
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
635
636
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
637
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
638
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
639
640
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
641
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
642
643
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
644
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
645
646
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
647
648
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
649
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
650
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
651
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
652
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
653
same location. (Robert Collins)
654
655
INTERNALS:
656
657
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
658
659
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
660
661
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
662
663
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
664
(Martin Pool)
665
666
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
667
(Martin Pool)
668
669
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
670
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
671
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
672
673
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
674
675
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
676
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
677
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
678
679
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
680
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
681
682
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
683
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
684
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
685
686
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
687
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
688
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
689
690
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
691
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
692
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
693
694
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
695
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
696
Martin Pool)
697
698
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
699
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
700
701
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
702
(Alexander Belchenko)
703
704
TESTING:
705
706
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
707
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
708
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
709
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
710
711
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
712
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
713
testing. (Robert Collins)
714
715
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
716
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
717
718
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
719
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
720
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
721
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
722
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
723
attribute during the test parameterisation in
724
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
725
726
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
727
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
728
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
729
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
730
731
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
732
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
733
734
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
735
avoid useless cloning.

=======================
753
754
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
755
756
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
757
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
758
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
759
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
760
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
761
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
762
and unlock() like so::
763
764
work_tree.lock_read()
765
try:
766
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
767
finally:
768
work_tree.unlock()
769
770
INTERNALS:
771
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
772
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
773
object.
774
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
775
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
776
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
777
778
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
779
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
780
too. (Robert Collins)
781
782
IMPROVEMENTS:
783
784
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
785
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
786
Aaron Bentley)
787
788
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
789
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
790
791
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
792
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
793
794
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
795
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
796
understanding what changes have occurred
797
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
798
799
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
800
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
801
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
802
803
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
804
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
805
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
806
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
807
808
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
809
#56322)
810
811
BUGFIXES:
812
813
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
814
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
815
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
816
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
817
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
818
819
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
820
based on split paths, not just string paths.
821
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
822
823
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
824
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
825
826
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
827
into account.
828
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
829
830
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
831
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
832
833
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
834
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
835
836
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
837
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
838
839
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
840
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
841
842
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
843
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
844
845
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
846
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
847
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)
848
849
bzr 0.16 2007-05-07
850
====================
851
852
BUGFIXES:
853
854
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
855
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
856
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
857
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
858
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
859
860
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
861
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
862
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
863
864
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
865
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
866
867
IMPROVEMENTS:
868
869
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
870
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
871
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
872
873
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
874
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
875
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
876
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

bzr 0.16rc2 2007-04-30
879
=======================
880
881
BUGFIXES:
882
883
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
884
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
885
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
886
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
887
888
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
889
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
890
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
891
892
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
893
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
894
895
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
896
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
897
898
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
899
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)
900
901
bzr 0.16rc1 2007-04-26
902
=======================
903
904
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
905
906
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
907
it could be recovered again.
908
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
909
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
910
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
911
but not delete it.
912
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
913
files.
914
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
915
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
916
917
IMPROVEMENTS:
918
919
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
920
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
921
922
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
923
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
924
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
925
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
926
927
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
928
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
929
930
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
931
tests with names that match that regular expression.

* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
935
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
936
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
937
938
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
939
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
940
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
941
942
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
943
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
944
Robert Collins)
945
946
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
947
Pool)
948
949
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
950
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
951
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
952
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
953
954
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
955
(Robert Collins)
956
957
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
958
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
959
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
960
(Robert Collins)
961
962
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
963
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
964
965
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
966
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
967
968
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
969
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
970
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
971
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
972
(Robert Collins)
973
974
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
975
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
976
977
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
978
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
979
980
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
981
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
982
(Robert Collins, #107125).
983
984
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
985
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
986
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
987
988
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
989
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
990
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
991
992
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
993
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
994
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
995
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
996
997
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
998
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
999
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
1000
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
1001
1002
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
1003
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
1004
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
1005
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
1006
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
1007
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
1008
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
1009
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
1010
header(s).
1011
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1012
1013
INTERNALS:
1014
1015
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
1016
code paths. (Robert Collins)
1017
1018
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
1019
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
1020
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
1021
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
1022
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1023
1024
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
1025
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
1026
1027
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
1028
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
1029
1030
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
1031
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
1032
1033
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
1034
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
1035
1036
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
1037
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
1038
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
1039
(Robert Collins).
1040
1041
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
1042
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
1043
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
1044
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
1045
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
1046
(Robert Collins)
1047
1048
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
1049
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
1050
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
1051
1052
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
1053
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
1054
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1055
1056
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
1057
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
1058
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
1059
(Vincent Ladeuil).
1060
1061
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
1062
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
1063
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
1064
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
1065
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
1066
1067
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
1068
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
1069
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
1070
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
1071
1072
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
1073
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1074
1075
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
1076
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
1077
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
1078
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
1079
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
1080
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
1081
1082
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
1083
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
1084
1085
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
1086
help. (Robert Collins)
1087
1088
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
1089
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
1090
1091
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
1092
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
1093
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
1094
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
1095
(John Arbash Meinel)
1096
1097
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
1098
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
1099
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
1100
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
1101
useful. (Robert Collins)
1102
1103
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
1104
(Andrew Bennetts)
1105
1106
BUGFIXES:
1107
1108
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
1109
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
1110
1111
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
1112
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
1113
1114
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
1115
properly and is no longer beneficial.
1116
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
1117
1118
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
1119
(Aaron Bentley)
1120
1121
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
1122
the file, and does it faster.
1123
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
1124
1125
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
1126
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
1127
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
1128
1129
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
1130
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
1131
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
1132
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
1133
1134
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
1135
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
1136
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
1137
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
1138
1139
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
1140
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
1141
1142
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
1143
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
1144
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
1145
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
1146
Arbash Meinel)
1147
1148
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
1149
1150
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
1151
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
1152
1153
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
1154
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
1155
1156
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
1157
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
1158
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
1159
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
1160
security hole.
1161
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1162
1163
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
1164
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
1165
1166
TESTING:
1167
1168
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
1169
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
1170
in running it. (Robert Collins)
1171
1172
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
1173
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
1174
1175
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
1176
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
1177
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
1178
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
1179
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
1180
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
1181
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
1182
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1183
1184
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
1185
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
1186
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1187
1188
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
1189
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
1190
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
1191
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
1192
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
1193
access.
1194
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
1195
1196
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
1197
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
1198
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1199
1200
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
1201
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

1219
CHANGES:
1220
1221
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
1222
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
1223
(Martin Pool)
1224
1225
IMPROVEMENTS:
1226
1227
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
1228
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
1229
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
1230
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
1231
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
1232
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
1233
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
1234
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
1235
path. (vila)
1236
1237
INTERNALS:
1238
1239
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
1240
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
1241
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
1242
1243
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
1244
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
1245
(Martin Pool)
1246
1247
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
1248
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
1249
(John Arbash Meinel)
1250
1251
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
1252
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
1253
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
1254
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
1255
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
1256
1257
BUGFIXES:
1258
1259
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
1260
(vila, #92195)

1262
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
1263
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
1264
1265
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
1266
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
1267
1268
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
1269
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
1270
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
1271
1272
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
1273
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
1274
1275
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
1276
last-changed-revision for directories. The
1277
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
1278
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
1279
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
1280
1281
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
1282
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
1283
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
1284
1285
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

1289
=======================
1290
1291
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1292
1293
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
1294
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
1295
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
1296
1297
IMPROVEMENTS:
1298
1299
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
1300
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
1301
1302
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
1303
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
1304
1305
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
1306
1307
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
1308
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
1309
1310
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
1311
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
1312
1313
INTERNALS:
1314
1315
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
1316
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
1317
1318
BUGFIXES:
1319
1320
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
1321
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
1322
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
1323
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
1324
1325
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
1326
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
1327
1328
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
1329
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
1330
1331
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
1332
(Marien Zwart)
1333
1334
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
1339
=======================
1340
1341
SURPRISES:
1342
1343
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
1344
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
1345
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
1346
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
1347
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
1348
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
1349
1350
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
1351
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
1352
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
1353
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
1354
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
1355
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
1356
development.
1357
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1358
1359
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
1360
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
1361
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
1362
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
1363
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
1364
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
1365
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
1366
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
1367
1368
IMPROVEMENTS:
1369
1370
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
1371
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
1372
1373
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
1374
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
1375
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
1376
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
1377
does exist.
1378
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
1379
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
1380
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
1381
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
1382
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
1383
1384
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
1385
(Aaron Bentley)
1386
1387
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
1388
(Aaron Bentley)
1389
1390
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
1391
(Robert Collins)
1392
1393
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
1394
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
1395
(Aaron Bentley)
1396
1397
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
1398
(Aaron Bentley)
1399
1400
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
1401
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
1402
1403
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
1404
directory. (Martin Pool)
1405
1406
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
1407
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
1408
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
1409
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
1410
1411
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
1412
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
1413
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
1414
in docs/configuration.txt.
1415
1416
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
1417
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
1418
bind location.
1419
1420
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
1421
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
1422
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
1423
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
1424
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
1425
repositories. (Martin Pool)
1426
1427
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
1428
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
1429
1430
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
1431
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
1432
1433
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
1434
(Aaron Bentley)
1435
1436
INTERNALS:
1437
1438
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
1439
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
1440
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
1441
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
1442
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
1443
(John Arbash Meinel)
1444
1445
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
1446
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
1447
(Aaron Bentley)
1448
1449
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
1450
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
1451
(John Arbash Meinel)
1452
1453
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
1454
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
1455
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
1456
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
1457
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
1458
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
1459
1460
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
1461
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
1462
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
1463
1464
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
1465
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
1466
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
1467
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
1468
repository.
1469
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1470
1471
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
1472
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
1473
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
1474
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
1475
1476
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
1477
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
1478
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
1479
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
1480
1481
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
1482
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
1483
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
1484
1485
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
1486
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
1487
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
1488
1489
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
1490
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
1491
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
1492
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
1493
1494
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
1495
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
1496
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
1497
1498
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
1499
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
1500
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
1501
1502
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
1503
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
1504
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
1505
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
1506
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
1507
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
1508
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
1509
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
1510
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.
1511

1512
(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
1513
1514
BUGFIXES:
1515
1516
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
1517
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
1518
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
1519
1520
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
1521
(Aaron Bentley)
1522
1523
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
1524
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
1525
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
1526
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
1527
1528
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
1529
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
1530
#83954).
1531
1532
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
1533
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
1534
1535
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
1536
1537
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
1538
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
1539
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
1540
1541
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
1542
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
1543
1544
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
1545
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
1546
1547
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
1548
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
1549
1550
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
1551
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
1552
1553
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
1554
1555
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
1556
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
1557
1558
TESTING:
1559
1560
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests
1561
before the rest of the suite. (Martin Pool)

====================
1566
1567
IMPROVEMENTS:
1568
1569
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
1570
1571
BUG FIXES:
1572
1573
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
1574
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
1575
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
1576
1577
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
1578
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
1579
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

1581
1582
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
1583
=======================
1584
1585
IMPROVEMENTS:
1586
1587
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
1588
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
1589
server, then you can write over the http connection.
1590
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
1591
1592
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
1593
(Marius Kruger)
1594
1595
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
1596
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
1597
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
1598
1599
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
1600
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
1601
1602
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
1603
(Aaron Bentley)
1604
1605
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
1606
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
1607
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
1608
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
1609
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
1610
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
1611
1612
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
1613
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
1614
should enable you to do::
1615
1616
[/home/user/project]
1617
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
1618
push_location:policy = appendpath
1619
1620
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
1621
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
1622
(James Henstridge)
1623
1624
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
1625
for each file. For example::
1626
1627
$ bzr status --short
1628
A foo
1629
A bar
1630
D baz
1631
? wooley
1632
1633
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
1634
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
1635
1636
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
1637
1638
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
1639
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
1640
1641
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
1642
1643
INTERNALS:
1644
1645
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
1646
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
1647
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
1648
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
1649
1650
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
1651
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
1652
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
1653
1654
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
1655
1656
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
1657
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
1658
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
1659
(Alexander Belchenko)
1660
1661
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
1662
Pool)
1663
1664
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
1665
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
1666
1667
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
1668
1669
BUG FIXES:
1670
1671
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
1672
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
1673
1674
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
1675
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
1676
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
1677
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
1678
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
1679
1680
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
1681
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
1682
1683
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
1684
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
1685
1686
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
1687
matcher.
1688
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
1689
1690
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
1691
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
1692
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
1693
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
1694
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
1695
1696
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
1697
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
1698
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
1699
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
1700
1701
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
1702
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
1703
1704
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
1705
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
1706
1707
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
1708
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)

1710
* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

1722
IMPROVEMENTS:
1723
1724
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
1725
tree from a branch.
1726
(Daniel Silverstone)
1727
1728
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
1729
operations are substantially faster.
1730
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
1731
1732
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
1733
tree from some other url. For example:
1734
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
1735
(Daniel Silverstone)
1736
1737
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
1738
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
1739
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
1740
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
1741
1742
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
1743
(Andrew Bennetts)
1744
1745
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
1746
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
1747
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
1748
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
1749
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
1750
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
1751
1752
INTERNALS:
1753
1754
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
1755
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
1756
(Martin Pool)
1757
1758
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1759
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1760
(John Arbash Meinel)
1761
1762
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
1763
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
1764
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
1765
(John Arbash Meinel)
1766
1767
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
1768
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
1769
1770
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
1771
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
1772
1773
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
1774
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
1775
Bennetts)
1776
1777
BUG FIXES:
1778
1779
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
1780
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
1781
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
1782
1783
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
1784
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
1785
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
1786
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
1787
1788
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
1789
1790
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
1791
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
1792
1793
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
1794
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
1795
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
1796
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
1797
1798
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
1799
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
1800
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
1801
1802
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
1803
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
1804
them as full references rather than integers.
1805
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
1806
1807
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
1808
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
1809
1810
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
1811
1812
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
1813
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
1814
1815
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
1816
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
1817
1818
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
1819
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
1820
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
1821
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
1822
1823
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
1824
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
1825
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
1826
1827
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
1828
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
1829
1830
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
1831
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
1832
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
1833
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
1834

TESTING:
1837
1838
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
1839
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

bzr 0.12 2006-10-30
1842
====================
1843
1844
INTERNALS:
1845
1846
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
1847
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
1848

1850
bzr 0.12rc1 2006-10-23
1851
=======================
1852
1853
IMPROVEMENTS:
1854
1855
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
1856
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
1857
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
1858
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
1859
1860
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
1861
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
1862
1863
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
1864
1865
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
1866
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
1867
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
1868
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
1869
1870
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
1871
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
1872
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
1873
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
1874
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
1875
1876
API INCOMPATABILITY:
1877
1878
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
1879
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
1880
1881
INTERNALS:
1882
1883
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
1884
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
1885
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
1886
1887
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
1888
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
1889
(John Arbash Meinel)
1890
1891
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
1892
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
1893
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
1894
1895
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
1896
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
1897
(Aaron Bentley)
1898
1899
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
1900
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
1901
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1902
1903
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
1904
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
1905
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
1906
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
1907
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
1908
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1909
1910
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
1911
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
1912
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
1913
(Robert Collins)
1914
1915
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
1916
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
1917
1918
BUG FIXES:
1919
1920
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
1921
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
1922
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
1923
#63360, #66349)
1924
1925
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
1926
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
1927
1928
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
1929
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
1930
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
1931
1932
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
1933
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
1934
1935
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
1936
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
1937
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
1938
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
1939
1940
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
1941
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
1942
1943
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
1944
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
1945
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
1946
1947
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
1948
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
1949
1950
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
1951
1952
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
1953
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
1954
#32054)
1955
1956
TESTING:
1957
1958
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
1959
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
1960
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
1961
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
1962
1963
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
1964
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
1965
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
1966
1967
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02

====================
1969
1970
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).

1973
=======================
1974
1975
BUG FIXES:
1976
1977
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
1978
1979
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
1980
Arbash Meinel).
1981
1982
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
1983
=======================
1984
1985
IMPROVEMENTS:
1986
1987
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
1988
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
1989
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
1990
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
1991
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
1992
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
1993
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
1994
1995
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
1996
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
1997
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
1998
1999
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
2000
2001
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
2002
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
2003
2004
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
2005
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
2006
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
2007
(Robert Collins)
2008
2009
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
2010
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
2011
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
2012
(John Arbash Meinel)
2013
2014
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
2015
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
2016
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
2017
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
2018
Pool)
2019
2020
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
2021
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
2022
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
2023
(John Arbash Meinel)
2024
2025
BUG FIXES:
2026
2027
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
2028
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
2029
2030
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
2031
2032
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
2033
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
2034
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
2035
2036
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
2037
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
2038
2039
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
2040
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
2041
2042
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
2043
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
2044
2045
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
2046
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
2047
2048
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
2049
2050
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
2051
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
2052
2053
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
2054
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
2055
2056
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
2057
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
2058
2059
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
2060
(John Arbash Meinel)
2061
2062
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
2063
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
2064
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
2065
2066
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
2067
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
2068
2069
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
2070
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
2071
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
2072
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
2073
2074
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
2075
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
2076
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
2077
2078
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
2079
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
2080
2081
PORTABILITY:
2082
2083
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
2084
2085
INTERNALS:
2086
2087
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
2088
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
2089
(John Arbash Meinel)
2090
2091
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
2092
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
2093
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
2094
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
2095
2096
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
2097
(Andrew Bennetts)
2098
2099
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
2100
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
2101
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
2102
2103
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
2104
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
2105
2106
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
2107
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
2108
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
2109
2110
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
2111
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
2112
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
2113
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
2114
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
2115
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
2116
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
2117
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
2118
caller to repeat their request.
2119
(John Arbash Meinel)
2120
2121
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
2122
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
2123
2124
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
2125
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
2126
2127
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
2128
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
2129
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
2130
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
2131
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
2132
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
2133
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
2134
2135
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
2136
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
2137
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
2138
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
2139
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
2140
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
2141
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
2142
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
2143
(Robert Collins)
2144
2145
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
2146
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
2147
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
2148
2149
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
2150
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
2151
2152
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
2153
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
2154
2155
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
2156
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2157
2158
TESTING:
2159
2160
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
2161
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
2162
2163
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
2164
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
2165
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
2166
2167
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
2168
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
2169
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2170
2171
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
2172
====================
2173
2174
IMPROVEMENTS:
2175
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
2176
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
2177
2178
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
2179
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
2180
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
2181
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
2182
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
2183
2184
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
2185
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
2186
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
2187
2188
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
2189
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
2190
2191
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
2192
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
2193
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
2194
2195
BUG FIXES:
2196
2197
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
2198
2199
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
2200
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
2201
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
2202
2203
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
2204
2205
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
2206
2207
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
2208
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
2209
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
2210
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
2211
2212
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
2213
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
2214
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
2215
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
2216
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
2217
2218
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
2219
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
2220
2221
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
2222
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
2223
2224
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
2225
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
2226
2227
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
2228
in handling of revision properties.
2229
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
2230
2231
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
2232
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
2233
2234
INTERNALS:
2235
2236
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
2237
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
2238
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
2239
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
2240
(John Arbash Meinel)
2241
2242
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
2243
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
2244
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
2245
2246
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
2247
=====================
2248
2249
SURPRISES:
2250
2251
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
2252
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
2253
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
2254
specific one '.bzrignore'.
2255
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
2256
a more conservative list than the old default.
2257
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
2258
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
2259
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
2260
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
2261
2262
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
2263
to more locations than just branch locations.
2264
(Aaron Bentley)
2265
2266
IMPROVEMENTS:
2267
2268
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
2269
revno:N:branch. For example,
2270
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
2271
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
2272
2273
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
2274
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
2275
the path of a file that has been versioned.
2276
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
2277
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
2278
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
2279
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
2280
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
2281
#42517, #42514)
2282
2283
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
2284
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
2285
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
2286
(Malone #3507)
2287
2288
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
2289
(Alexander Belchenko)
2290
2291
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
2292
2293
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
2294
(Robert Collins).
2295
2296
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
2297
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
2298
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
2299
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
2300
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
2301
(John Arbash Meinel)
2302
2303
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
2304
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
2305
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
2306
grained analysis of performance.
2307
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2308
2309
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
2310
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
2311
2312
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
2313
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
2314
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
2315
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
2316
file. (Robert Collins).
2317
2318
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
2319
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
2320
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
2321
2322
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
2323
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
2324
Matthieu Moy)
2325
2326
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
2327
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
2328
2329
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
2330
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
2331
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
2332
the same way you would apply another branch.
2333
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
2334
2335
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
2336
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
2337
2338
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
2339
(Michael Ellerman)
2340
2341
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
2342
(Aaron Bentley)
2343
2344
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
2345
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
2346
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
2347
2348
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
2349
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
2350
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
2351
2352
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
2353
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
2354
2355
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
2356
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
2357
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
2358
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
2359
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
2360
2361
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
2362
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
2363
2364
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
2365
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
2366
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
2367
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
2368
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
2369
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
2370
branch is as much as 4x faster.
2371
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
2372
2373
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
2374
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
2375
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
2376
2377
BUG FIXES:
2378
2379
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
2380
tests not to run.
2381
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
2382
2383
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
2384
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2385
2386
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
2387
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
2388
2389
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
2390
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
2391
2392
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
2393
2394
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
2395
(John Arbash Meinel)
2396
2397
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
2398
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
2399
2400
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
2401
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
2402
and y.
2403
2404
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
2405
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
2406
2407
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
2408
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
2409
2410
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
2411
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
2412
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
2413
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
2414
2415
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
2416
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
2417
2418
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
2419
2420
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
2421
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
2422
2423
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
2424
2425
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
2426
2427
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
2428
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
2429
2430
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
2431
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
2432
2433
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
2434
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
2435
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
2436
2437
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
2438
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
2439
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
2440
2441
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
2442
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
2443
2444
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
2445
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
2446
2447
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
2448
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
2449
2450
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
2451
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
2452
2453
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
2454
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
2455
2456
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
2457
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
2458
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
2459
2460
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
2461
2462
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
2463
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
2464
2465
INTERNALS:
2466
2467
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
2468
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
2469
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
2470
2471
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
2472
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
2473
2474
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
2475
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
2476
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2477
2478
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
2479
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
2480
2481
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
2482
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
2483
(Martin Pool)
2484
2485
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
2486
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
2487
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2488
2489
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
2490
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
2491
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2492
2493
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
2494
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
2495
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
2496
2497
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
2498
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
2499
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
2500
2501
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
2502
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
2503
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
2504
2505
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
2506
instead. (Robert Collins)
2507
2508
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

2523
Robert Collins, Erik Bågfors, #43959)
2524
2525
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
2526
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2527
2528
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
2529
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.

CHANGES:
2542
2543
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check
2544
environment variables VISUAL and EDITOR, then try editor from
2545

2546
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
2547
2548
NEW FEATURES:
2549
2550
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into
2551
Launchpad.net, where it can be associated with bugs, etc.
2552
(Martin Pool, Bjorn Tillenius, Robert Collins)
2553
2554
INTERNALS:
2555
2556
* New public api in InventoryEntry - ``describe_change(old, new)`` which

new. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2559
2560
TESTING:

2565
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
2566
===================
2567
2568
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2569
2570
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
2571
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
2572
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
2573
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
2574
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
2575
will keep the same format.
2576
2577
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
2578
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
2579
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
2580
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
2581
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
2582
2583
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
2584
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
2585
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
2586
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
2587
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
2588
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
2589
indicating the current revision of the branch.
2590
2591
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
2592
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
2593
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
2594
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
2595
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
2596
2597
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
2598
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
2599
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
2600
arrangement.
2601
2602
2603
IMPROVEMENTS:
2604
2605
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
2606
convention. Paths now take the form::
2607
2608
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
2609
or
2610
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
2611
2612
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
2613
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
2614
2615
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
2616
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
2617
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
2618
2619
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
2620
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
2621
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
2622
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
2623
2624
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
2625
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
2626
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
2627
2628
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
2629
2630
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
2631
2632
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
2633
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
2634
commits::
2635
2636
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
2637
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
2638
| xargs bzr re-sign
2639
2640
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
2641
2642
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
2643
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
2644
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
2645
(Robert Collins)
2646
2647
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
2648
2649
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
2650
2651
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
2652
'.moved'.
2653
2654
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
2655
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
2656
2657
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
2658
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
2659
Daniel Silverstone)
2660
2661
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
2662
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
2663
Martin Pool)
2664
2665
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
2666
2667
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
2668
2669
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
2670
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
2671
2672
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
2673
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
2674
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
2675
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
2676
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
2677
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
2678
2679
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
2680
2681
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
2682
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
2683
(Robert Collins)
2684
2685
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
2686
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
2687
2688
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
2689
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
2690
2691
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
2692
2693
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
2694
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
2695
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
2696
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
2697
specification by Martin Pool.
2698
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
2699
2700
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
2701
Belchenko)
2702
2703
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
2704
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
2705
2706
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
2707
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
2708
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
2709
2710
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
2711
2712
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
2713
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
2714
(Robert Collins)
2715
2716
CHANGES:
2717
2718
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
2719
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2720
2721
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
2722
2723
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
2724
2725
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
2726
(Olaf Conradi)
2727
2728
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
2729
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
2730
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
2731
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
2732
2733
INTERNALS:
2734
2735
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
2736
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
2737
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
2738
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2739
2740
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
2741
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
2742
tried. (Martin Pool)
2743
2744
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
2745
(Martin Pool)
2746
2747
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
2748
2749
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
2750
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
2751
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
2752
2753
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
2754
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
2755
2756
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
2757
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
2758
paths. (Robert Collins)
2759
2760
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
2761
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
2762
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
2763
2764
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
2765
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
2766
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
2767
2768
* Progress bars are now nested - see
2769
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
2770
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
2771
2772
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
2773
(Olaf Conradi)
2774
2775
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
2776
(Olaf Conradi)
2777
2778
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
2779
2780
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
2781
2782
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
2783
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
2784
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
2785
(Robert Collins)
2786
2787
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
2788
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
2789
2790
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
2791
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
2792
check. (Robert Collins)
2793
2794
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
2795
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
2796
2797
TESTING:
2798
2799
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
2800
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
2801
2802
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
2803
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
2804
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
2805
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
2806
2807
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
2808
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
2809
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
2810
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
2811
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
2812
2813
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
2814
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
2815
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
2816
2817
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
2818
2819
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
2820
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.
2821
2822
bzr 0.7 2006-01-09
2823
==================
2824
2825
CHANGES:
2826
2827
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
2828
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
2829
2830
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
2831
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
2832
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
2833
(Johan Rydberg)
2834
2835
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
2836
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
2837
2838
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
2839
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
2840
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
2841
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
2842
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
2843
2844
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
2845
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
2846
used. (Robert Collins)
2847
2848
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
2849
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
2850
(James Henstridge)
2851
2852
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
2853
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
2854
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
2855
2856
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
2857
ignore list.
2858
2859
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
2860
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
2861
2862
IMPROVEMENTS:
2863
2864
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
2865
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
2866
2867
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
2868
2869
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
2870
2871
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
2872
tree. (Robert Collins)
2873
2874
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
2875
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
2876
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
2877
(Robert Collins)
2878
2879
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
2880
that they be kept.
2881
2882
* Tweaks to short log printing
2883
2884
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
2885
(Aaron Bentley)
2886
2887
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
2888
occurs. (Martin Pool)
2889
2890
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
2891
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
2892
2893
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
2894
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
2895
2896
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
2897
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
2898
settings. (Magnus Therning)
2899
2900
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
2901
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
2902
2903
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
2904
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
2905
requests.
2906
2907
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
2908
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
2909
2910
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
2911
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
2912
2913
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
2914
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
2915
2916
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
2917
(Denys Duchier)
2918
2919
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
2920
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
2921
2922
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
2923
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
2924
2925
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
2926
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
2927
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
2928
2929
BUG FIXES:
2930
2931
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
2932
2933
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2934
2935
* Error when run with -OO
2936
2937
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
2938
(Martin Pool)
2939
2940
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
2941
2942
* Change status to 3 for all errors
2943
2944
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
2945
ignored by diff and status
2946
2947
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
2948
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
2949
2950
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
2951
2952
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
2953
2954
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
2955
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
2956
2957
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
2958
email address. (Marien Zwart)
2959
2960
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
2961
(Harald Meland)
2962
2963
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
2964
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2965
2966
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
2967
2968
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
2969
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
2970
2971
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
2972
(Martin Pool)
2973
2974
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
2975
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
2976
2977
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
2978
2979
TESTING:
2980
2981
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
2982
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
2983
2984
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
2985
2986
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2987
2988
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
2989
2990
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
2991
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
2992
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
2993
2994
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
2995
2996
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
2997
(John Arbash Meinel)
2998
2999
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
3000
3001
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
3002
If adding a new test script please add that to
3003
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
3004
3005
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
3006
imported. (Martin Pool)
3007
3008
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
3009
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
3010
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
3011
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
3012
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
3013
(Robert Collins)
3014
3015
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
3016
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
3017
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
3018
3019
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
3020
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
3021
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
3022
3023
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
3024
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
3025
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
3026
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
3027
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
3028
(Robert Collins).
3029
3030
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
3031
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
3032
(Robert Collins).
3033
3034
INTERNALS:
3035
3036
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
3037
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
3038
3039
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
3040
function. (Robert Collins)
3041
3042
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
3043
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
3044
if needed). (Robert Collins)
3045
3046
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
3047
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
3048
(Robert Collins)
3049
3050
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
3051
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
3052
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
3053
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
3054
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
3055
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
3056
version. (Robert Collins)
3057
3058
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
3059
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
3060
3061
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
3062
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
3063
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
3064
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
3065
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
3066
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
3067
3068
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
3069
(Robert Collins)
3070
3071
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
3072
3073
add()
3074
commit()
3075
move()
3076
rename_one()
3077
unknowns()
3078
3079
(Robert Collins)
3080
3081
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
3082
3083
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
3084
3085
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
3086
Pool)
3087
3088
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
3089
query method. (Robert Collins)
3090
3091
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
3092
(Denys Duchier)
3093
3094
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
3095
(Michael Ellerman)
3096
3097
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
3098
(Michael Ellerman)
3099
3100
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
3101
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
3102
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
3103
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
3104
3105
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
3106
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
3107
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
3108
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
3109
3110
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
3111
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
3112
3113
bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
3114
==================
3115
3116
IMPROVEMENTS:
3117
3118
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
3119
(John A Meinel)
3120
3121
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
3122
conflicts.
3123
(Aaron Bentley)
3124
3125
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
3126
a separator, not ':'.
3127
(Aaron Bentley)
3128
3129
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
3130
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
3131
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
3132
3133
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
3134
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
3135
(Robert Collins)
3136
3137
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
3138
has been added that suppresses all output.
3139
3140
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
3141
Adams.
3142
3143
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
3144
Goffredo Baroncelli.
3145
3146
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
3147
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
3148
3149
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
3150
a revision. (Robert Collins)
3151
3152
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
3153
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
3154
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
3155
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
3156
3157
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
3158
3159
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
3160
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
3161
3162
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
3163
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
3164
3165
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
3166
output directory, if one was supplied.
3167
3168
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
3169
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
3170
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
3171
parameters. (Robert Collins)
3172
3173
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
3174
3175
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
3176
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
3177
3178
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
3179
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
3180
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
3181
3182
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
3183
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
3184
3185
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
3186
(Aaron Bentley)
3187
3188
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
3189
3190
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
3191
3192
TESTING:
3193
3194
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
3195
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
3196
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
3197
3198
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
3199
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
3200
related questions. (Robert Collins)
3201
3202
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
3203
is given. (Martin Pool)
3204
3205
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
3206
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
3207
file. (Robert Collins)
3208
3209
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
3210
(Martin Pool)
3211
3212
INTERNALS:
3213
3214
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
3215
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
3216
representation. (Martin Pool).
3217
3218
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
3219
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
3220
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
3221
3222
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3223
(Robert Collins)
3224
3225
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
3226
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
3227
Magnus Therning.
3228
3229
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
3230
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
3231
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
3232
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
3233
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
3234
3235
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
3236
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
3237
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
3238
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
3239
python path. (Robert Collins)
3240
3241
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
3242
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
3243
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
3244
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
3245
3246
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
3247
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
3248
3249
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
3250
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
3251
(Robert Collins)
3252
3253
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
3254
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
3255
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
3256
3257
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
3258
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
3259
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
3260
3261
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3262
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3263
3264
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
3265
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
3266
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
3267
(Robert Collins)
3268
3269
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
3270
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
3271
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
3272
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
3273
(Robert Collins)
3274
3275
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
3276
(Robert Collins)
3277
3278
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
3279
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
3280
(Robert Collins)
3281
3282
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
3283
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
3284
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
3285
3286
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
3287
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
3288
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
3289
3290
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
3291
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
3292
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
3293
3294
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
3295
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
3296
3297
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
3298
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
3299
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
3300
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
3301
caller. (Robert Collins)
3302
3303
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
3304
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
3305
(Robert Collins).
3306
3307
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
3308
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
3309
(Aaron Bentley)
3310
3311
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
3312
3313
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
3314
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
3315
3316
BUG FIXES:
3317
3318
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
3319
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
3320
3321
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
3322
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

3325
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
3326
====================
3327
3328
BUG FIXES:
3329
3330
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
3331
allow directories to be listed.
3332
3333
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
3334
upgrading branch format.
3335
3336
PERFORMANCE:
3337
3338
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
3339
3340
3341
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
3342
==================
3343
3344
NOTES:
3345
3346
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
3347
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
3348
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
3349
high-latency connections.
3350
3351
BUG FIXES:
3352
3353
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
3354
Rob Weir.
3355
3356
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
3357
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
3358
3359
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
3360
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
3361
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
3362
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3363
3364
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
3365
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
3366
3367
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
3368
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
3369
3370
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
3371
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
3372
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3373
3374
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
3375
for files with only a change to their executable status.
3376
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
3377
Robert Collins
3378
3379
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
3380
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
3381
3382
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
3383
different partial views of history.
3384
3385
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
3386
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
3387
3388
IMPROVEMENTS:
3389
3390
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
3391
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
3392
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3393
3394
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
3395
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
3396
'bzr upgrade'.
3397
3398
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
3399
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
3400
3401
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
3402
Niemeyer.
3403
3404
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
3405
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
3406
3407
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
3408
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
3409
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
3410
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
3411
3412
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
3413
3414
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
3415
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
3416
Gustavo Niemeyer.
3417
3418
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
3419
Contributed by Robert Collins.
3420
3421
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
3422
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
3423
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
3424
3425
3426
INTERNALS:
3427
3428
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
3429
for your viewing pleasure.
3430
3431
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
3432
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
3433
3434
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
3435
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
3436
handling of such circumstances.
3437
3438
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
3439
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
3440
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
3441
3442
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
3443
3444
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
3445
we call them revisions not patches.
3446
3447
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
3448
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
3449
3450
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
3451
giving the revision *of that file*.
3452
3453
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
3454
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
3455
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
3456
3457
TESTING:
3458
3459
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
3460
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
3461
3462
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
3463
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
3464
3465
3466
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
3467
====================
3468
3469
BUG FIXES:
3470
3471
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
3472
3473
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
3474
(Robert Collins).
3475
3476
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
3477
3478
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
3479
3480
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
3481
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3482
3483
IMPROVEMENTS:
3484
3485
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
3486
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
3487
3488
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
3489
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
3490
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
3491
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
3492
Robey Pointer
3493
3494
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
3495
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
3496
3497
INTERNALS:
3498
3499
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
3500
3501
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
3502
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
3503
3504
3505
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
3506
====================
3507
3508
IMPROVEMENTS:
3509
3510
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
3511
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
3512
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
3513
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
3514
Michael Ellerman.
3515
3516
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
3517
(Nir Soffer)
3518
3519
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
3520
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
3521
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
3522
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
3523
for the operating system is still tried.
3524
3525
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
3526
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
3527
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
3528
3529
3530
INTERNALS:
3531
3532
* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.
3533
3534
BUG FIXES:
3535
3536
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
3537
3538
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
3539
branch.
3540
3541
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
3542
read.
3543
3544
3545
PORTABILITY:
3546
3547
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.
3548
3549
* Quieten warnings about locking; patch from Matt Lavin.
3550
3551
3552
bzr-0.0.7 2005-09-02
3553
====================
3554
3555
NEW FEATURES:
3556
3557
* ``bzr shell-complete`` command contributed by Clint Adams to
3558
help with intelligent shell completion.
3559
3560
* New expert command ``bzr find-merge-base`` for debugging merges.
3561
3562
3563
ENHANCEMENTS:
3564
3565
* Much better merge support.
3566
3567
* merge3 conflicts are now reported with markers like '<<<<<<<'
3568
(seven characters) which is the same as CVS and pleases things
3569
like emacs smerge.
3570
3571
3572
BUG FIXES:
3573
3574
* ``bzr upgrade`` no longer fails when trying to fix trees that
3575
mention revisions that are not present.
3576
3577
* Fixed bugs in listing plugins from ``bzr plugins``.
3578
3579
* Fix case of $EDITOR containing options for the editor.
3580
3581
* Fix log -r refusing to show the last revision.
3582
(Patch from Goffredo Baroncelli.)
3583
3584
3585
CHANGES:
3586
3587
* ``bzr log --show-ids`` shows the revision ids of all parents.
3588
3589
* Externally provided commands on your $BZRPATH no longer need
3590
to recognize --bzr-usage to work properly, and can just handle
3591
--help themselves.
3592
3593
3594
LIBRARY:
3595
3596
* Changed trace messages to go through the standard logging
3597
framework, so that they can more easily be redirected by
3598
libraries.
3599
3600
3601
3602
bzr-0.0.6 2005-08-18
3603
====================
3604
3605
NEW FEATURES:
3606
3607
* Python plugins, automatically loaded from the directories on
3608
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` or ``~/.bzr.conf/plugins`` by default.
3609
3610
* New 'bzr mkdir' command.
3611
3612
* Commit mesage is fetched from an editor if not given on the
3613
command line; patch from Torsten Marek.
3614
3615
* ``bzr log -m FOO`` displays commits whose message matches regexp
3616
FOO.
3617
3618
* ``bzr add`` with no arguments adds everything under the current directory.
3619
3620
* ``bzr mv`` does move or rename depending on its arguments, like
3621
the Unix command.
3622
3623
* ``bzr missing`` command shows a summary of the differences
3624
between two trees. (Merged from John Arbash-Meinel.)
3625
3626
* An email address for commits to a particular tree can be
3627
specified by putting it into .bzr/email within a branch. (Based
3628
on a patch from Heikki Paajanen.)
3629
3630
3631
ENHANCEMENTS:
3632
3633
* Faster working tree operations.
3634
3635
3636
CHANGES:
3637
3638
* 3rd-party modules shipped with bzr are copied within the bzrlib
3639
python package, so that they can be installed by the setup
3640
script without clashing with anything already existing on the
3641
system. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.)
3642
3643
* Moved plugins directory to bzrlib/, so that there's a standard
3644
plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
3645
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
3646
``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` and ``DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH`` are then added to the
3647
standard plugins directory.
3648
3649
* When exporting to a tarball with ``bzr export --format tgz``, put
3650
everything under a top directory rather than dumping it into the
3651
current directory. This can be overridden with the ``--root``
3652
option. Patch from William Dodé and John Meinel.
3653
3654
* New ``bzr upgrade`` command to upgrade the format of a branch,
3655
replacing ``bzr check --update``.
3656
3657
* Files within store directories are no longer marked readonly on
3658
disk.
3659
3660
* Changed ``bzr log`` output to a more compact form suggested by
3661
John A Meinel. Old format is available with the ``--long`` or
3662
``-l`` option, patched by William Dodé.
3663
3664
* By default the commit command refuses to record a revision with
3665
no changes unless the ``--unchanged`` option is given.
3666
3667
* The ``--no-plugins``, ``--profile`` and ``--builtin`` command
3668
line options must come before the command name because they
3669
affect what commands are available; all other options must come
3670
after the command name because their interpretation depends on
3671
it.
3672
3673
* ``branch`` and ``clone`` added as aliases for ``branch``.
3674
3675
* Default log format is back to the long format; the compact one
3676
is available with ``--short``.
3677
3678
3679
BUG FIXES:
3680
3681
* Fix bugs in committing only selected files or within a subdirectory.
3682
3683
3684
bzr-0.0.5 2005-06-15
3685
=====================
3686
3687
CHANGES:
3688
3689
* ``bzr`` with no command now shows help rather than giving an
3690
error. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
3691
3692
* ``bzr status`` output format changed, because svn-style output
3693
doesn't really match the model of bzr. Now files are grouped by
3694
status and can be shown with their IDs. ``bzr status --all``
3695
shows all versioned files and unknown files but not ignored files.
3696
3697
* ``bzr log`` runs from most-recent to least-recent, the reverse
3698
of the previous order. The previous behaviour can be obtained
3699
with the ``--forward`` option.
3700
3701
* ``bzr inventory`` by default shows only filenames, and also ids
3702
if ``--show-ids`` is given, in which case the id is the second
3703
field.
3704

* New 'bzr whoami --email' option shows only the email component
3709

3779
directory as the tests, or the one given as the first parameter.
3780

3782
required to check is just ``./testbzr``.
3783
3784
* testbzr requires python2.4, but can be used to test bzr running
3785
under a different version.
