IN DEVELOPMENT

--------------
9
10
This release adds a translation of some of the user documentation into Spanish.
11
(Contributions of other translations would be very welcome.)
12
13
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
14
15
CHANGES:
16
17
* Deprecation warnings will not be suppressed when running ``bzr selftest``
18
so that developers can see if their code is using deprecated functions.
19
(John Arbash Meinel)
20
21
FEATURES:
22
23
* Adding ``-Derror`` will now display a traceback when a plugin fails to
24
load. (James Westby)
25
26
* There is a new version of the network protocol used for bzr://, bzr+ssh://
27
and bzr+http:// connections. This will allow more efficient requests and
28
responses, and more graceful fallback when a server is too old to
29
recognise a request from a more recent client. Bazaar 1.6 will
30
interoperate with 0.16 and later versions, but servers should be upgraded
31
when possible. Bazaar 1.6 no longer interoperates with 0.15 and earlier via
32
these protocols. Use alternatives like SFTP or upgrade those servers.
33
(Andrew Bennetts, #83935)
34
35
IMPROVEMENTS:
36
37
* ``bzr branch/push/pull -r XXX`` now have a helper function for finding
38
the revno of the new revision (``Graph.find_distance_to_null``). This
39
should make something like ``bzr branch -r -100`` in a shared, no-trees
40
repository much snappier. (John Arbash Meinel)
41
42
* ``bzr log --short -r X..Y`` no longer needs to access the full revision
43
history. This makes it noticeably faster when logging the last few
44
revisions. (John Arbash Meinel)
45
46
* ``bzr ls`` now accepts ``-V`` as an alias for ``--versioned``.
47
(Jerad Cramp, #165086)
48
49
* ``bzr missing`` uses the new ``Graph.find_unique_ancestors`` and
50
``Graph.find_differences`` to determine missing revisions without having
51
to search the whole ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #174625)
52
53
* ``bzr uncommit`` now uses partial history access, rather than always
54
extracting the full revision history for a branch. This makes it
55
resolve the appropriate revisions much faster (in testing it drops
56
uncommit from 1.5s => 0.4s). It also means ``bzr log --short`` is one
57
step closer to not using full revision history.
58
(John Arbash Meinel, #172649)
59
60
BUGFIXES:
61
62
* ``bzr merge --lca`` should handle when two revisions have no common
63
ancestor other than NULL_REVISION. (John Arbash Meinel, #235715)
64
65
* ``bzr push`` with both ``--overwrite`` and ``-r NNN`` options no longer
66
fails. (Andrew Bennetts, #234229)
67
68
* Correctly track the base URL of a smart medium when using bzr+http://
69
URLs, which was causing spurious "No repository present" errors with
70
branches in shared repositories accessed over bzr+http.
71
(Andrew Bennetts, #230550)
72
73
* Define ``_remote_is_at_least_1_2`` on ``SmartClientMedium`` so that all
74
implementations have the attribute. Fixes 'PyCurlTransport' object has no
75
attribute '_remote_is_at_least_1_2' attribute errors.
76
(Andrew Bennetts, #220806)
77
78
* Failure to delete an obsolete pack file should just give a warning
79
message, not a fatal error. It may for example fail if the file is still
80
in use by another process.
81
(Martin Pool)
82
83
* Fix MemoryError during large fetches over HTTP by limiting the amount of
84
data we try to read per ``recv`` call. The problem was observed with
85
Windows and a proxy, but might affect other environments as well.
86
(Eric Holmberg, #215426)
87
88
* Handle old merge directives correctly in Merger.from_mergeable. Stricter
89
get_parent_map requirements exposed a latent bug here. (Aaron Bentley)
90
91
* Issue a warning and ignore passwords declared in authentication.conf when
92
used for an ssh scheme (sftp or bzr+ssh).
93
(Vincent Ladeuil, #203186)
94
95
* Make both http implementations raise appropriate exceptions on 403
96
Forbidden when POSTing smart requests.
97
(Vincent Ladeuil, #230223)
98
99
* Properly *title* header names in http requests instead of capitalizing
100
them.
101
(Vincent Ladeuil, #229076)
102
103
* Treat an encoding of '' as ascii; this can happen when bzr is run
104
under vim on Mac OS X.
105
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
106
107
DOCUMENTATION:
108
109
* Added directory structure and started translation of docs in spanish.
110
(Martin Albisetti, Lucio Albenga)
111
112
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
113
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
114
(Ian Clatworthy)
115
116
* More Bazaar developer documentation about packaging and release process,
117
and about use of Python reprs.
118
(Martin Pool, Martin Albisetti)
119
120
* Updated Tortise strategy document. (Mark Hammond)
121
122
TESTING:
123
124
* New helper function for splitting test suites
125
``split_suite_by_condition``. (Robert Collins)
126
127
INTERNALS:
128
129
API CHANGES:
130
131
* ``Branch.abspath`` is deprecated; use the Tree or Transport
132
instead. (Martin Pool)
133
134
* ``Branch.update_revisions`` now takes an optional ``Graph``
135
object. This can be used by ``update_revisions`` when it is
136
checking ancestry, and allows callers to prefer request to go to a
137
local branch. (John Arbash Meinel)
138
139
* Branch, Repository, Tree and BzrDir should expose a Transport as an
140
attribute if they have one, rather than having it indirectly accessible
141
as ``.control_files._transport``. This doesn't add a requirement
142
to support a Transport in cases where it was not needed before;
143
it just simplifies the way it is reached. (Martin Pool)
144
145
* ``bzr missing --mine-only`` will return status code 0 if you have no
146
new revisions, but the remote does. Similarly for ``--theirs-only``.
147
The new code only checks one side, so it doesn't know if the other
148
side has changes. This seems more accurate with the request anyway.
149
It also changes the output to print '[This|Other] branch is up to
150
date.' rather than displaying nothing. (John Arbash Meinel)
151
152
* ``LockableFiles.put_utf8``, ``put_bytes`` and ``controlfilename``
153
are now deprecated in favor of using Transport operations.
154
(Martin Pool)
155
156
* Many methods on ``VersionedFile``, ``Repository`` and in
157
``bzrlib.revision`` deprecated before bzrlib 1.5 have been removed.
158
(Robert Collins)
159
160
* ``RevisionSpec.wants_revision_history`` can be set to False for a given
161
``RevisionSpec``. This will disable the existing behavior of passing in
162
the full revision history to ``self._match_on``. Useful for specs that
163
don't actually need access to the full history. (John Arbash Meinel)
164
165
* The constructors of ``SmartClientMedium`` and its subclasses now require a
166
``base`` parameter. ``SmartClientMedium`` implementations now also need
167
to provide a ``remote_path_from_transport`` method. (Andrew Bennetts)
168
169
* The default permissions for creating new files and directories
170
should now be obtained from ``BzrDir._get_file_mode()`` and
171
``_get_dir_mode()``, rather than from LockableFiles. The ``_set_file_mode``
172
and ``_set_dir_mode`` variables on LockableFiles which were advertised
173
as a way for plugins to control this are no longer consulted.
174
(Martin Pool)
175
176
* ``VersionedFile.join`` is deprecated. This method required local
177
instances of both versioned file objects and was thus hostile to being
178
used for streaming from a smart server. The new get_record_stream and
179
insert_record_stream are meant to efficiently replace this method.
180
(Robert Collins)
181
182
* ``WorkingTreeFormat2.stub_initialize_remote`` is now private.
183
(Martin Pool)
184
185
186
bzr 1.5 2008-05-16
187
------------------
188
189
This release of Bazaar includes several updates to the documentation, and fixes
190
to prepare for making rich root support the default format. Many bugs have been
191
squashed, including fixes to log, bzr+ssh inter-operation with older servers.
192
193
CHANGES:
194
195
* Suppress deprecation warnings when bzrlib is a 'final' release. This way
196
users of packaged software won't be bothered with DeprecationWarnings,
197
but developers and testers will still see them. (John Arbash Meinel)
198
199
DOCUMENTATION:
200
201
* Incorporate feedback from Jelmer Vernooij and Neil Martinsen-Burrell
202
on the plugin and integration chapters of the User Guide.
203
(Ian Clatworthy)
204
205
206
bzr 1.5rc1 2008-05-09
207
---------------------
208
209
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
210
211
CHANGES:
212
213
* Broader support of GNU Emacs mail clients. Set
214
``mail_client=emacsclient`` in your bazaar.conf and ``send`` will pop the
215
bundle in a mail buffer according to the value of ``mail-user-agent``
216
variable. (Xavier Maillard)
217
218
FEATURES:
219
220
IMPROVEMENTS:
221
222
* Diff now handles revision specs like "branch:" and "submit:" more
223
efficiently. (Aaron Bentley)
224
225
* More friendly error given when attempt to start the smart server
226
on an address already in use. (Andrea Corbellini, #200575)
227
228
* Pull completes much faster when there is nothing to pull.
229
(Aaron Bentley)
230
231
BUGFIXES:
232
233
* Authentication.conf can define sections without password.
234
(Vincent Ladeuil, #199440)
235
236
* Avoid muttering every time a child update does not cause a progress bar
237
update. (John Arbash Meinel, #213771)
238
239
* ``Branch.reconcile()`` is now implemented. This allows ``bzr reconcile``
240
to fix when a Branch has a non-canonical mainline history. ``bzr check``
241
also detects this condition. (John Arbash Meinel, #177855)
242
243
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
244
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
245
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
246
247
* ``bzr commit`` now works with Microsoft's FTP service.
248
(Andreas Deininger)
249
250
* Catch definitions outside sections in authentication.conf.
251
(Vincent Ladeuil, #217650)
252
253
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) updates inventory
254
sha1s, even when bundles are used. (Aaron Bentley, #181391)
255
256
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works correctly even
257
though search keys are not topologically sorted. (Aaron Bentley)
258
259
* Conversion from non-rich-root to rich-root(-pack) works even when a
260
parent revision has a different root id. (Aaron Bentley, #177874)
261
262
* Disable strace testing until strace is fixed (see bug #103133) and emit a
263
warning when selftest ends to remind us of leaking tests.
264
(Vincent Ladeuil, #226769)
265
266
* Fetching all revisions from a repository does not cause pack collisions.
267
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, #212908)
268
269
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
270
(Andrew Bennetts, #217701)
271
272
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
273
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
274
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.
275
(John Arbash Meinel, #214894)
276
277
* Remove leftover code in ``bzr_branch`` that inappropriately creates
278
a ``branch-name`` file in the branch control directory.
279
(Martin Pool)
280
281
* Set SO_REUSEADDR on server sockets of ``bzr serve`` to avoid problems
282
rebinding the socket when starting the server a second time.
283
(John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool, #164288)
284
285
* Severe performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
286
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
287
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
288
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
289
every revision each side had in common.
290
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
291
292
* When logging the changes to a particular file, there was a bug if there
293
were ghosts in the revision ancestry. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
294
295
* xs4all's ftp server returns a temporary error when trying to list an
296
empty directory, rather than returning an empty list. Adding a
297
workaround so that we don't get spurious failures.
298
(John Arbash Meinel, #215522)
299
300
DOCUMENTATION:
301
302
* Expanded the User Guide to include new chapters on popular plugins and
303
integrating Bazaar into your environment. The *Best practices* chapter
304
was renamed to *Miscellaneous topics* as suggested by community
305
feedback as well. (Ian Clatworthy)
306
307
* Document outlining strategies for TortoiseBzr. (Mark Hammond)
308
309
* Improved the documentation on hooks. (Ian Clatworthy)
310
311
* Update authentication docs regarding ssh agents.
312
(Vincent Ladeuil, #183705)
313
314
TESTING:
315
316
* Add ``thread_name_suffix`` parameter to SmartTCPServer_for_testing, to
317
make it easy to identify which test spawned a thread with an unhandled
318
exception. (Andrew Bennetts)
319
320
* New ``--debugflag``/``-E`` option to ``bzr selftest`` for setting
321
options for debugging tests, these are complementary to the the -D
322
options. The ``-Dselftest_debug`` global option has been replaced by the
323
``-E=allow_debug`` option for selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
324
325
* Parameterised test ids are preserved correctly to aid diagnosis of test
326
failures. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
327
328
* selftest now accepts --starting-with <id> to load only the tests whose id
329
starts with the one specified. This greatly speeds up running the test
330
suite on a limited set of tests and can be used to run the tests for a
331
single module, a single class or even a single test. (Vincent Ladeuil)
332
333
* The test suite modules have been modified to define load_tests() instead
334
of test_suite(). That speeds up selective loading (via --load-list)
335
significantly and provides many examples on how to migrate (grep for
336
load_tests). (Vincent Ladeuil)
337
338
INTERNALS:
339
340
* ``Hooks.install_hook`` is now deprecated in favour of
341
``Hooks.install_named_hook`` which adds a required ``name`` parameter, to
342
avoid having to call ``Hooks.name_hook``. (Daniel Watkins)
343
344
* Implement xml8 serializer. (Aaron Bentley)
345
346
* New form ``@deprecated_method(deprecated_in(1, 5, 0))`` for making
347
deprecation wrappers. (Martin Pool)
348
349
* ``Repository.revision_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
350
``Repository.get_parent_map([revid])[revid]``. (Jelmer Vernooij)
351
352
* The Python ``assert`` statement is no longer used in Bazaar source, and
353
a test checks this. (Martin Pool)
354
355
API BREAKS:
356
357
* ``bzrlib.status.show_pending_merges`` requires the repository to be
358
locked by the caller. Callers should have been doing it anyway, but it
359
will now raise an exception if they do not. (John Arbash Meinel)
360
361
* Repository.get_data_stream, Repository.get_data_stream_for_search(),
362
Repository.get_deltas_for_revsions(), Repository.revision_trees(),
363
Repository.item_keys_introduced_by() no longer take read locks.
364
(Aaron Bentley)
365
366
* ``LockableFiles.get_utf8`` and ``.get`` are deprecated, as a start
367
towards removing LockableFiles and ``.control_files`` entirely.
368
(Martin Pool)
369
370
* Methods deprecated prior to 1.1 have been removed.
371
(Martin Pool)

bzr 1.4 2008-04-28
375
------------------
376
377
This release of Bazaar includes handy improvements to the speed of log and
378
status, new options for several commands, improved documentation, and better
379
hooks, including initial code for server-side hooks. A number of bugs have
380
been fixed, particularly in interoperability between different formats or
381
different releases of Bazaar over there network. There's been substantial
382
internal work in both the repository and network code to enable new features
383
and faster performance.
384
385
BUG FIXES:
386
387
* Pushing a branch in "dirstate" format (Branch5) over bzr+ssh would break
388
if the remote server was < version 1.2. This was due to a bug in the
389
RemoteRepository.get_parent_map() fallback code.

(John Arbash Meinel, Andrew Bennetts, #214894)
391
392
393
bzr 1.4rc2 2008-04-21
394
---------------------
395
396
BUG FIXES:
397
398
* ``bzr log -r ..X bzr://`` was failing, because it was getting a request
399
for ``revision_id=None`` which was not a string.
400
(John Arbash Meinel, #211661)
401
402
* Fixed a bug in handling ghost revisions when logging changes in a
403
particular file. (John Arbash Meinel, #209948)
404
405
* Fix error about "attempt to add line-delta in non-delta knit".
406
(Andrew Bennetts, #205156)
407
408
* Fixed performance degradation in fetching from knit repositories to
409
knits and packs due to parsing the entire revisions.kndx on every graph
410
walk iteration fixed by using the Repository.get_graph API. There was
411
another regression in knit => knit fetching which re-read the index for
412
every revision each side had in common.

bzr 1.4rc1 2008-04-11
417
---------------------
418
419
CHANGES:
420
421
* bzr main script cannot be imported (Benjamin Peterson)
422
423
* On Linux bzr additionally looks for plugins in arch-independent site
424
directory. (Toshio Kuratomi)
425
426
* The ``set_rh`` branch hook is now deprecated. Please migrate
427
any plugins using this hook to use an alternative, e.g.
428
``post_change_branch_tip``. (Ian Clatworthy)
429
430
* When a plugin cannot be loaded as the file path is not a valid
431
python module name bzr will now strip a ``bzr_`` prefix from the
432
front of the suggested name, as many plugins (e.g. bzr-svn)
433
want to be installed without this prefix. It is a common mistake
434
to have a folder named "bzr-svn" for that plugin, especially
435
as this is what bzr branch lp:bzr-svn will give you. (James Westby,
436
Andrew Cowie)
437
438
* UniqueIntegerBugTracker now appends bug-ids instead of joining
439
them to the base URL. Plugins that register bug trackers may
440
need a trailing / added to the base URL if one is not already there.
441
(James Wesby, Andrew Cowie)
442
443
FEATURES:
444
445
* Added start_commit hook for mutable trees. (Jelmer Vernooij, #186422)
446
447
* ``status`` now accepts ``--no-pending`` to show the status without
448
listing pending merges, which speeds up the command a lot on large
449
histories. (James Westby, #202830)
450
451
* New ``post_change_branch_tip`` hook that is called after the
452
branch tip is moved but while the branch is still write-locked.
453
See the User Reference for signature details.
454
(Ian Clatworthy, James Henstridge)
455
456
* Reconfigure can convert a branch to be standalone or to use a shared
457
repository. (Aaron Bentley)
458
459
IMPROVEMENTS:
460
461
* The smart protocol now has support for setting branches' revision info
462
directly. This should make operations like push slightly faster, and is a
463
step towards server-side hooks. The new request method name is
464
``Branch.set_last_revision_info``. (Andrew Bennetts)
465
466
* ``bzr commit --fixes`` now recognises "gnome" as a tag by default.
467
(James Westby, Andrew Cowie)
468
469
* ``bzr switch`` will attempt to find branches to switch to relative to the
470
current branch. E.g. ``bzr switch branchname`` will look for
471
``current_branch/../branchname``. (Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij,
472
Wouter van Heyst)
473
474
* Diff is now more specific about execute-bit changes it describes
475
(Chad Miller)
476
477
* Fetching data over HTTP is a bit faster when urllib is used. This is done
478
by forcing it to recv 64k at a time when reading lines in HTTP headers,
479
rather than just 1 byte at a time. (Andrew Bennetts)
480
481
* Log --short and --line are much faster when -r is not specified.
482
(Aaron Bentley)
483
484
* Merge is faster. We no longer check a file's existence unnecessarily
485
when merging the execute bit. (Aaron Bentley)
486
487
* ``bzr status`` on an explicit list of files no longer shows pending
488
merges, making it much faster on large trees. (John Arbash Meinel)
489
490
* The launchpad directory service now warns the user if they have not set
491
their launchpad login and are trying to resolve a URL using it, just
492
in case they want to do a write operation with it. (James Westby)
493
494
* The smart protocol client is slightly faster, because it now only queries
495
the server for the protocol version once per connection. Also, the HTTP
496
transport will now automatically probe for and use a smart server if
497
one is present. You can use the new ``nosmart+`` transport decorator
498
to get the old behaviour. (Andrew Bennetts)
499
500
* The ``version`` command takes a ``--short`` option to print just the
501
version number, for easier use in scripts. (Martin Pool)
502
503
* Various operations with revision specs and commands that calculate
504
revnos and revision ids are faster. (John A. Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
505
506
BUGFIXES:
507
508
* Add ``root_client_path`` parameter to SmartWSGIApp and
509
SmartServerRequest. This makes it possible to publish filesystem
510
locations that don't exactly match URL paths. SmartServerRequest
511
subclasses should use the new ``translate_client_path`` and
512
``transport_from_client_path`` methods when dealing with paths received
513
from a client to take this into account. (Andrew Bennetts, #124089)
514
515
* ``bzr mv a b`` can be now used also to rename previously renamed
516
directories, not only files. (Lukáš Lalinský, #107967)
517
518
* ``bzr uncommit --local`` can now remove revisions from the local
519
branch to be symmetric with ``bzr commit --local``.
520
(John Arbash Meinel, #93412)
521
522
* Don't ask for a password if there is no real terminal.
523
(Alexander Belchenko, #69851)
524
525
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
526
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
527
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).
528
(#208418, Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
529
530
* Fixed ``_get_line`` in ``bzrlib.smart.medium``, which was buggy. Also
531
fixed ``_get_bytes`` in the same module to use the push back buffer.
532
These bugs had no known impact in normal use, but were problematic for
533
developers working on the code, and were likely to cause real bugs sooner
534
or later. (Andrew Bennetts)
535
536
* Implement handling of basename parameter for DefaultMail. (James Westby)
537
538
* Incompatibility with Paramiko versions newer than 1.7.2 was fixed.
539
(Andrew Bennetts, #213425)
540
541
* Launchpad locations (lp: URLs) can be pulled. (Aaron Bentley, #181945)
542
543
* Merges that add files to deleted root directories complete. They
544
do create conflicts. (Aaron Bentley, #210092)
545
546
* vsftp's return ``550 RNFR command failed.`` supported.
547
(Marcus Trautwig, #129786)
548
549
DOCUMENTATION:
550
551
* Improved documentation on send/merge relationship. (Peter Schuller)
552
553
* Minor fixes to the User Guide. (Matthew Fuller)
554
555
* Reduced the evangelism in the User Guide. (Ian Clatworthy)
556
557
* Added Integrating with Bazaar document for developers (Martin Albisetti)
558
559
API BREAKS:
560
561
* Attempting to pull data from a ghost aware repository (e.g. knits) into a
562
non-ghost aware repository such as weaves will now fail if there are
563
ghosts. (Robert Collins)
564
565
* ``KnitVersionedFile`` no longer accepts an ``access_mode`` parameter, and
566
now requires the ``index`` and ``access_method`` parameters to be
567
supplied. A compatible shim has been kept in the new function
568
``knit.make_file_knit``. (Robert Collins)
569
570
* Log formatters must now provide log_revision instead of show and
571
show_merge_revno methods. The latter had been deprecated since the 0.17
572
release. (James Westby)
573
574
* ``LoopbackSFTP`` is now called ``SocketAsChannelAdapter``.
575
(Andrew Bennetts)
576
577
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is removed. (Alexander Belchenko)
578
579
* ``Repository.get_revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement
580
method. The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
581
582
* ``revision.revision_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement function.
583
The function was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
584
585
* ``Transport.get_shared_medium`` is deprecated. Use
586
``Transport.get_smart_medium`` instead. (Andrew Bennetts)
587
588
* ``VersionedFile`` factories now accept a get_scope parameter rather
589
than using a call to ``transaction_finished``, allowing the removal of
590
the fixed list of versioned files per repository. (Robert Collins)
591
592
* ``VersionedFile.annotate_iter`` is deprecated. While in principle this
593
allowed lower memory use, all users of annotations wanted full file
594
annotations, and there is no storage format suitable for incremental
595
line-by-line annotation. (Robert Collins)
596
597
* ``VersionedFile.clone_text`` is deprecated. This performance optimisation
598
is no longer used - reading the content of a file that is undergoing a
599
file level merge to identical state on two branches is rare enough, and
600
not expensive enough to special case. (Robert Collins)
601
602
* ``VersionedFile.clear_cache`` and ``enable_cache`` are deprecated.
603
These methods added significant complexity to the ``VersionedFile``
604
implementation, but were only used for optimising fetches from knits -
605
which can be done from outside the knit layer, or via a caching
606
decorator. As knits are not the default format, the complexity is no
607
longer worth paying. (Robert Collins)
608
609
* ``VersionedFile.create_empty`` is removed. This method presupposed a
610
sensible mapping to a transport for individual files, but pack backed
611
versioned files have no such mapping. (Robert Collins)
612
613
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph`` is deprecated, with no replacement method.
614
The method was size(history) and not desirable. (Robert Collins)
615
616
* ``VersionedFile.get_graph_with_ghosts`` is deprecated, with no
617
replacement method. The method was size(history) and not desirable.
618
(Robert Collins)
619
620
* ``VersionedFile.get_parents`` is deprecated, please use
621
``VersionedFile.get_parent_map``. (Robert Collins)
622
623
* ``VersionedFile.get_sha1`` is deprecated, please use
624
``VersionedFile.get_sha1s``. (Robert Collins)
625
626
* ``VersionedFile.has_ghost`` is now deprecated, as it is both expensive
627
and unused outside of a single test. (Robert Collins)
628
629
* ``VersionedFile.iter_parents`` is now deprecated in favour of
630
``get_parent_map`` which can be used to instantiate a Graph on a
631
VersionedFile. (Robert Collins)
632
633
* ``VersionedFileStore`` no longer uses the transaction parameter given
634
to most methods; amongst other things this means that the
635
get_weave_or_empty method no longer guarantees errors on a missing weave
636
in a readonly transaction, and no longer caches versioned file instances
637
which reduces memory pressure (but requires more careful management by
638
callers to preserve performance). (Robert Collins)
639
640
TESTING:
641
642
* New -Dselftest_debug flag disables clearing of the debug flags during
643
tests. This is useful if you want to use e.g. -Dhpss to help debug a
644
failing test. Be aware that using this feature is likely to cause
645
spurious test failures if used with the full suite. (Andrew Bennetts)
646
647
* selftest --load-list now uses a new more agressive test loader that will
648
avoid loading unneeded modules and building their tests. Plugins can use
649
this new loader by defining a load_tests function instead of a test_suite
650
function. (a forthcoming patch will provide many examples on how to
651
implement this).
652
(Vincent Ladeuil)
653
654
* selftest --load-list now does some sanity checks regarding duplicate test
655
IDs and tests present in the list but not found in the actual test suite.
656
(Vincent Ladeuil)
657
658
* Slightly more concise format for the selftest progress bar, so there's
659
more space to show the test name. (Martin Pool) ::
660
661
[2500/10884, 1fail, 3miss in 1m29s] test_revisionnamespaces.TestRev
662
663
* The test suite takes much less memory to run, and is a bit faster. This
664
is done by clearing most attributes of TestCases after running them, if
665
they succeeded. (Andrew Bennetts)
666
667
INTERNALS:
668
669
* Added ``_build_client_protocol`` to ``_SmartClient``. (Andrew Bennetts)
670
671
* Added basic infrastructure for automatic plugin suggestion.
672
(Martin Albisetti)
673
674
* If a ``LockableFiles`` object is not explicitly unlocked (for example
675
because of a missing ``try/finally`` block, it will give a warning but
676
not automatically unlock itself. (Previously they did.) This
677
sometimes caused knock-on errors if for example the network connection
678
had already failed, and should not be relied upon by code.
679
(Martin Pool, #109520)
680
681
* ``make dist`` target to build a release tarball, and also
682
``check-dist-tarball`` and ``dist-upload-escudero``. (Martin Pool)
683
684
* The ``read_response_tuple`` method of ``SmartClientRequestProtocol*``
685
classes will now raise ``UnknownSmartMethod`` when appropriate, so that
686
callers don't need to try distinguish unknown request errors from other
687
errors. (Andrew Bennetts)
688
689
* ``set_make_working_trees`` is now implemented provided on all repository
690
implementations (Aaron Bentley)
691
692
* ``VersionedFile`` now has a new method ``get_parent_map`` which, like
693
``Graph.get_parent_map`` returns a dict of key:parents. (Robert Collins)

BUG FIXES:
706
707
* Fix a bug causing a ValueError crash in ``parse_line_delta_iter`` when
708
fetching revisions from a knit to pack repository or vice versa using
709
bzr:// (including over http or ssh).

bzr 1.3 2008-03-20
714
------------------
715
716
Bazaar has become part of the GNU project <http://www.gnu.org>
717
718
Many operations that act on history, including ``log`` and ``annotate`` are now
719
substantially faster. Several bugs have been fixed and several new options and
720
features have been added.
721
722
TESTING:
723
724
* Avoid spurious failure of ``TestVersion.test_version`` matching
725
directory names.
726

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

732
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
733
734
* The backup directory created by ``upgrade`` is now called
735
``backup.bzr``, not ``.bzr.backup``. (Martin Albisetti)
736
737
CHANGES:
738
739
* A new repository format 'development' has been added. This format will
740
represent the latest 'in-progress' format that the bzr developers are
741
interested in getting early-adopter testing and feedback on.
742
``doc/developers/development-repo.txt`` has detailed information.
743
(Robert Collins)
744
745
* BZR_LOG environment variable controls location of .bzr.log trace file.
746
User can suppress writing messages to .bzr.log by using '/dev/null'
747
filename (on Linux) or 'NUL' (on Windows). If BZR_LOG variable
748
is not defined but BZR_HOME is defined then default location
749
for .bzr.log trace file is ``$BZR_HOME/.bzr.log``.
750
(Alexander Belchenko)
751
752
* ``launchpad`` builtin plugin now shipped as separate part in standalone
753
bzr.exe, installed to ``C:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins`` directory,
754
and standalone installer allows user to skip installation of this plugin.
755
(Alexander Belchenko)
756
757
* Restore auto-detection of plink.exe on Windows. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
758
759
* Version number is now shown as "1.2" or "1.2pr2", without zeroed or
760
missing final fields. (Martin Pool)
761
762
FEATURES:
763
764
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can hard-link working tree files, which is
765
faster and saves space. (Aaron Bentley)
766
767
* ``bzr send`` will now also look at the ``child_submit_to`` setting in
768
the submit branch to determine the email address to send to.
769
(Jelmer Vernooij)
770
771
IMPROVEMENTS:
772
773
* BzrBranch._lefthand_history is faster on pack repos. (Aaron Bentley)
774
775
* Branch6.generate_revision_history is faster. (Aaron Bentley)
776
777
* Directory services can now be registered, allowing special URLs to be
778
dereferenced into real URLs. This is a generalization and cleanup of
779
the lp: transport lookup. (Aaron Bentley)
780
781
* Merge directives that are automatically attached to emails have nicer
782
filenames, based on branch-nick + revno. (Aaron Bentley)
783
784
* ``push`` has a ``--revision`` option, to specify what revision to push up
785
to. (Daniel Watkins)
786
787
* Significantly reducing execution time and network traffic for trivial
788
case of running ``bzr missing`` command for two identical branches.
789
(Alexander Belchenko)
790
791
* Speed up operations that look at the revision graph (such as 'bzr log').
792
``KnitPackRepositor.get_revision_graph`` uses ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` to
793
extract the revision history. This allows filtering ghosts while
794
stepping instead of needing to peek ahead. (John Arbash Meinel)
795
796
* The ``hooks`` command lists installed hooks, to assist in debugging.
797
(Daniel Watkins)
798
799
* Updates to how ``annotate`` work. Should see a measurable improvement in
800
performance and memory consumption for file with a lot of merges.
801
Also, correctly handle when a line is introduced by both parents (it
802
should be attributed to the first merge which notices this, and not
803
to all subsequent merges.) (John Arbash Meinel)
804
805
BUGFIXES:
806
807
* Autopacking no longer holds the full set of inventory lines in
808
memory while copying. For large repositories, this can amount to
809
hundreds of MB of ram consumption.
810
(Ian Clatworthy, John Arbash Meinel)
811
812
* Cherrypicking when using ``--format=merge3`` now explictly excludes
813
BASE lines. (John Arbash Meinel, #151731)
814
815
* Disable plink's interactive prompt for password.
816
(#107593, Dmitry Vasiliev)
817
818
* Encode command line arguments from unicode to user_encoding before
819
invoking external mail client in `bzr send` command.
820
(#139318, Alexander Belchenko)
821
822
* Fixed problem connecting to ``bzr+https://`` servers.
823
(#198793, John Ferlito)
824
825
* Improved error reporting in the Launchpad plugin. (Daniel Watkins,
826
#196618)
827
828
* Include quick-start-summary.svg file to python-based installer(s)
829
for Windows. (#192924, Alexander Belchenko)
830
831
* lca merge now respects specified files. (Aaron Bentley)
832
833
* Make version-info --custom imply --all. (#195560, James Westby)
834
835
* ``merge --preview`` now works for merges that add or modify
836
symlinks (James Henstridge)
837
838
* Redirecting the output from ``bzr merge`` (when the remembered
839
location is used) now works. (John Arbash Meinel)
840
841
* setup.py script explicitly checks for Python version.
842
(Jari Aalto, Alexander Belchenko, #200569)
843
844
* UnknownFormatErrors no longer refer to branches regardless of kind of
845
unknown format. (Daniel Watkins, #173980)
846
847
* Upgrade bundled ConfigObj to version 4.5.2, which properly quotes #
848
signs, among other small improvements. (Matt Nordhoff, #86838)
849
850
* Use correct indices when emitting LCA conflicts. This fixes IndexError
851
errors. (Aaron Bentley, #196780)
852
853
DOCUMENTATION:
854
855
* Explained how to use ``version-info --custom`` in the User Guide.
856
(Neil Martinsen-Burrell)
857
858
API BREAKS:
859
860
* Support for loading plugins from zip files and
861
``bzrlib.plugin.load_from_zip()`` function are deprecated.
862
(Alexander Belchenko)
863
864
TESTING:
865
866
* The branch interface tests were invalid for branches using rich-root
867
repositories because the empty string is not a valid file-id.
868
(Robert Collins)
869
870
INTERNALS:
871
872
* ``Graph.iter_ancestry`` returns the ancestry of revision ids. Similar to
873
``Repository.get_revision_graph()`` except it includes ghosts and you can
874
stop part-way through. (John Arbash Meinel)
875
876
* New module ``tools/package_mf.py`` provide custom module finder for
877
python packages (improves standard python library's modulefinder.py)
878
used by ``setup.py`` script while building standalone bzr.exe.
879
(Alexander Belchenko)
880
881
* New remote method ``RemoteBzrDir.find_repositoryV2`` adding support for
882
detecting external lookup support on remote repositories. This method is
883
now attempted first when lookup up repositories, leading to an extra
884
round trip on older bzr smart servers. (Robert Collins)
885
886
* Repository formats have a new supported-feature attribute
887
``supports_external_lookups`` used to indicate repositories which support
888
falling back to other repositories when they have partial data.
889

* ``Repository.get_revision_graph_with_ghosts`` and
892
``bzrlib.revision.(common_ancestor,MultipleRevisionSources,common_graph)``
893
have been deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel)
894
895
* ``Tree.iter_changes`` is now a public API, replacing the work-in-progress
896
``Tree._iter_changes``. The api is now considered stable and ready for
897
external users. (Aaron Bentley)
898
899
* The bzrdir format registry now accepts an ``alias`` keyword to
900
register_metadir, used to indicate that a format name is an alias for
901
some other format and thus should not be reported when describing the
902
format. (Robert Collins)

NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
917
918
* Fetching via the smart protocol may need to reconnect once during a fetch
919
if the remote server is running Bazaar 1.1 or earlier, because the client
920
attempts to use more efficient requests that confuse older servers. You
921
may be required to re-enter a password or passphrase when this happens.
922
This won't happen if the server is upgraded to Bazaar 1.2.
923
(Andrew Bennetts)
924
925
CHANGES:
926
927
* Fetching via bzr+ssh will no longer fill ghosts by default (this is
928
consistent with pack-0.92 fetching over SFTP). (Robert Collins)
929
930
* Formatting of ``bzr plugins`` output is changed to be more human-
931
friendly. Full path of plugins locations will be shown only with
932
``--verbose`` command-line option. (Alexander Belchenko)
933
934
* ``merge`` now prefers to use the submit branch, but will fall back to
935
parent branch. For many users, this has no effect. But some users who
936
pull and merge on the same branch will notice a change. This change
937
makes it easier to work on a branch on two different machines, pulling
938
between the machines, while merging from the upstream.
939
``merge --remember`` can now be used to set the submit_branch.
940
(Aaron Bentley)
941
942
FEATURES:
943
944
* ``merge --preview`` produces a diff of the changes merge would make,
945
but does not actually perform the merge. (Aaron Bentley)
946
947
* New smart method ``Repository.get_parent_map`` for getting revision
948
parent data. This returns additional parent information topologically
949
adjacent to the requested data to reduce round trip latency impacts.
950
(Robert Collins)
951
952
* New smart method, ``Repository.stream_revisions_chunked``, for fetching
953
revision data that streams revision data via a chunked encoding. This
954
avoids buffering large amounts of revision data on the server and on the
955
client, and sends less data to the server to request the revisions.
956
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, #178353)
957
958
* The launchpad plugin now handles lp urls of the form
959
``lp://staging/``, ``lp://demo/``, ``lp://dev/`` to use the appropriate
960
launchpad instance to do the resolution of the branch identities.
961
This is primarily of use to Launchpad developers, but can also
962
be used by other users who want to try out Launchpad as
963
a branch location without messing up their public Launchpad
964
account. Branches that are pushed to the staging environment
965
have an expected lifetime of one day. (Tim Penhey)
966
967
IMPROVEMENTS:
968
969
* Creating a new branch no longer tries to read the entire revision-history
970
unnecessarily over smart server operations. (Robert Collins)
971
972
* Fetching between different repository formats with compatible models now
973
takes advantage of the smart method to stream revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
974
975
* The ``--coverage`` option is now global, rather specific to ``bzr
976
selftest``. (Andrew Bennetts)
977
978
* The ``register-branch`` command will now use the public url of the branch
979
containing the current directory, if one has been set and no explicit
980
branch is provided. (Robert Collins)
981
982
* Tweak the ``reannotate`` code path to optimize the 2-parent case.
983
Speeds up ``bzr annotate`` with a pack repository by approx 3:2.
984
(John Arbash Meinel)
985
986
BUGFIXES:
987
988
* Calculate remote path relative to the shared medium in _SmartClient. This
989
is related to the problem in bug #124089. (Andrew Bennetts)
990
991
* Cleanly handle connection errors in smart protocol version two, the same
992
way as they are handled by version one. (Andrew Bennetts)
993
994
* Clearer error when ``version-info --custom`` is used without
995
``--template`` (Lukáš Lalinský)
996
997
* Don't raise UnavailableFeature during test setup when medusa is not
998
available or tearDown is never called leading to nasty side effects.
999
(#137823, Vincent Ladeuil)
1000
1001
* If a plugin's test suite cannot be loaded, for example because of a syntax
1002
error in the tests, then ``selftest`` fails, rather than just printing
1003
a warning. (Martin Pool, #189771)
1004
1005
* List possible values for BZR_SSH environment variable in env-variables
1006
help topic. (Alexander Belchenko, #181842)
1007
1008
* New methods ``push_log_file`` and ``pop_log_file`` to intercept messages:
1009
popping the log redirection now precisely restores the previous state,
1010
which makes it easier to use bzr log output from other programs.
1011
TestCaseInTempDir no longer depends on a log redirection being established
1012
by the test framework, which lets bzr tests cleanly run from a normal
1013
unittest runner.
1014
(#124153, #124849, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
1015
1016
* ``pull --quiet`` is now more quiet, in particular a message is no longer
1017
printed when the remembered pull location is used. (James Westby,
1018
#185907)
1019
1020
* ``reconfigure`` can safely be interrupted while fetching.
1021
(Aaron Bentley, #179316)
1022
1023
* ``reconfigure`` preserves tags when converting to and from lightweight
1024
checkouts. (Aaron Bentley, #182040)
1025
1026
* Stop polluting /tmp when running selftest.
1027
(Vincent Ladeuil, #123623)
1028
1029
* Switch from NFKC => NFC for normalization checks. NFC allows a few
1030
more characters which should be considered valid.
1031
(John Arbash Meinel, #185458)
1032
1033
* The launchpad plugin now uses the ``edge`` xmlrpc server to avoid
1034
interacting badly with a bug on the launchpad side. (Robert Collins)
1035
1036
* Unknown hostnames when connecting to a ``bzr://`` URL no longer cause
1037
tracebacks. (Andrew Bennetts, #182849)
1038
1039
API BREAKS:
1040
1041
* Classes implementing Merge types like Merge3Merger must now accept (and
1042
honour) a do_merge flag in their constructor. (Aaron Bentley)
1043
1044
* ``Repository.add_inventory`` and ``add_revision`` now require the caller
1045
to previously take a write lock (and start a write group.)
1046
(Martin Pool)
1047
1048
TESTING:
1049
1050
* selftest now accepts --load-list <file> to load a test id list. This
1051
speeds up running the test suite on a limited set of tests.
1052
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1053
1054
INTERNALS:
1055
1056
* Add a new method ``get_result`` to graph search objects. The resulting
1057
``SearchResult`` can be used to recreate the search later, which will
1058
be useful in reducing network traffic. (Robert Collins)
1059
1060
* Use convenience function to check whether two repository handles
1061
are referring to the same repository in ``Repository.get_graph``.
1062
(Jelmer Vernooij, #187162)
1063
1064
* Fetching now passes the find_ghosts flag through to the
1065
``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` call consistently for all
1066
repository types. This will enable faster missing revision discovery with
1067
bzr+ssh. (Robert Collins)
1068
1069
* Fix error handling in Repository.insert_data_stream. (Lukas Lalinsky)
1070
1071
* ``InterRepository.missing_revision_ids`` is now deprecated in favour of
1072
``InterRepository.search_missing_revision_ids`` which returns a
1073
``bzrlib.graph.SearchResult`` suitable for making requests from the smart
1074
server. (Robert Collins)
1075
1076
* New error ``NoPublicBranch`` for commands that need a public branch to
1077
operate. (Robert Collins)
1078
1079
* New method ``iter_inventories`` on Repository for access to many
1080
inventories. This is primarily used by the ``revision_trees`` method, as
1081
direct access to inventories is discouraged. (Robert Collins)
1082
1083
* New method ``next_with_ghosts`` on the Graph breadth-first-search objects
1084
which will split out ghosts and present parents into two separate sets,
1085
useful for code which needs to be aware of ghosts (e.g. fetching data
1086
cares about ghosts during revision selection). (Robert Collins)
1087
1088
* Record a timestamp against each mutter to the trace file, relative to the
1089
first import of bzrlib. (Andrew Bennetts)
1090
1091
* ``Repository.get_data_stream`` is now deprecated in favour of
1092
``Repository.get_data_stream_for_search`` which allows less network
1093
traffic when requesting data streams over a smart server. (Robert Collins)
1094
1095
* ``RemoteBzrDir._get_tree_branch`` no longer triggers ``_ensure_real``,
1096
removing one round trip on many network operations. (Robert Collins)
1097
1098
* RemoteTransport's ``recommended_page_size`` method now returns 64k, like
1099
SFTPTransport and HttpTransportBase. (Andrew Bennetts)
1100
1101
* Repository has a new method ``has_revisions`` which signals the presence
1102
of many revisions by returning a set of the revisions listed which are
1103
present. This can be done by index queries without reading data for parent
1104
revision names etc. (Robert Collins)

1113
---------------------
1114
1115
CHANGES:
1116
1117
* Dotted revision numbers have been revised. Instead of growing longer with
1118
nested branches the branch number just increases. (eg instead of 1.1.1.1.1
1119
we now report 1.2.1.) This helps scale long lived branches which have many
1120
feature branches merged between them. (John Arbash Meinel)
1121
1122
* The syntax ``bzr diff branch1 branch2`` is no longer supported.
1123
Use ``bzr diff branch1 --new branch2`` instead. This change has
1124
been made to remove the ambiguity where ``branch2`` is in fact a
1125
specific file to diff within ``branch1``.
1126
1127
FEATURES:
1128
1129
* New option to use custom template-based formats in ``bzr version-info``.
1130
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1131
1132
* diff '--using' allows an external diff tool to be used for files.
1133
(Aaron Bentley)
1134
1135
* New "lca" merge-type for fast everyday merging that also supports
1136
criss-cross merges. (Aaron Bentley)
1137
1138
IMPROVEMENTS:
1139
1140
* ``annotate`` now doesn't require a working tree. (Lukáš Lalinský,
1141
#90049)
1142
1143
* ``branch`` and ``checkout`` can now use files from a working tree to
1144
to speed up the process. For checkout, this requires the new
1145
--files-from flag. (Aaron Bentley)
1146
1147
* ``bzr diff`` now sorts files in alphabetical order. (Aaron Bentley)
1148
1149
* ``bzr diff`` now works on branches without working trees. Tree-less
1150
branches can also be compared to each other and to working trees using
1151
the new diff options ``--old`` and ``--new``. Diffing between branches,
1152
with or without trees, now supports specific file filtering as well.
1153
(Ian Clatworthy, #6700)
1154
1155
* ``bzr pack`` now orders revision texts in topological order, with newest
1156
at the start of the file, promoting linear reads for ``bzr log`` and the
1157
like. This partially fixes #154129. (Robert Collins)
1158
1159
* Merge directives now fetch prerequisites from the target branch if
1160
needed. (Aaron Bentley)
1161
1162
* pycurl now handles digest authentication.
1163
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1164
1165
* ``reconfigure`` can now convert from repositories. (Aaron Bentley)
1166
1167
* ``-l`` is now a short form for ``--limit`` in ``log``. (Matt Nordhoff)
1168
1169
* ``merge`` now warns when merge directives cause cherrypicks.
1170
(Aaron Bentley)
1171
1172
* ``split`` now supported, to enable splitting large trees into smaller
1173
pieces. (Aaron Bentley)
1174
1175
BUGFIXES:
1176
1177
* Avoid AttributeError when unlocking a pack repository when an error occurs.
1178
(Martin Pool, #180208)
1179
1180
* Better handle short reads when processing multiple range requests.
1181
(Vincent Ladeuil, #179368)
1182
1183
* build_tree acceleration uses the correct path when a file has been moved.
1184
(Aaron Bentley)
1185
1186
* ``commit`` now succeeds when a checkout and its master branch share a
1187
repository. (Aaron Bentley, #177592)
1188
1189
* Fixed error reporting of unsupported timezone format in
1190
``log --timezone``. (Lukáš Lalinský, #178722)
1191
1192
* Fixed Unicode encoding error in ``ignored`` when the output is
1193
redirected to a pipe. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1194
1195
* Fix traceback when sending large response bodies over the smart protocol
1196
on Windows. (Andrew Bennetts, #115781)
1197
1198
* Fix ``urlutils.relative_url`` for the case of two ``file:///`` URLs
1199
pointed to different logical drives on Windows.
1200
(Alexander Belchenko, #90847)
1201
1202
* HTTP test servers are now compatible with the http protocol version 1.1.
1203
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175524)
1204
1205
* _KnitParentsProvider.get_parent_map now handles requests for ghosts
1206
correctly, instead of erroring or attributing incorrect parents to ghosts.
1207
(Aaron Bentley)
1208
1209
* ``merge --weave --uncommitted`` now works. (Aaron Bentley)
1210
1211
* pycurl authentication handling was broken and incomplete. Fix handling of
1212
user:pass embedded in the urls.
1213
(Vincent Ladeuil, #177643)
1214
1215
* Files inside non-directories are now handled like other conflict types.
1216
(Aaron Bentley, #177390)
1217
1218
* ``reconfigure`` is able to convert trees into lightweight checkouts.
1219
(Aaron Bentley)
1220
1221
* Reduce lockdir timeout to 0 when running ``bzr serve``. (Andrew Bennetts,
1222
#148087)
1223
1224
* Test that the old ``version_info_format`` functions still work, even
1225
though they are deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel, ShenMaq, #177872)
1226
1227
* Transform failures no longer cause ImmortalLimbo errors (Aaron Bentley,
1228
#137681)
1229
1230
* ``uncommit`` works even when the commit messages of revisions to be
1231
removed use characters not supported in the terminal encoding.
1232
(Aaron Bentley)
1233
1234
* When dumb http servers return whole files instead of the requested ranges,
1235
read the remaining bytes by chunks to avoid overflowing network buffers.
1236
(Vincent Ladeuil, #175886)
1237
1238
DOCUMENTATION:
1239
1240
* Minor tweaks made to the bug tracker integration documentation.
1241
(Ian Clatworthy)
1242
1243
* Reference material has now be moved out of the User Guide and added
1244
to the User Reference. The User Reference has gained 4 sections as
1245
a result: Authenication Settings, Configuration Settings, Conflicts
1246
and Hooks. All help topics are now dumped into text format in the
1247
doc/en/user-reference directory for those who like browsing that
1248
information in their editor. (Ian Clatworthy)
1249
1250
* *Using Bazaar with Launchpad* tutorial added. (Ian Clatworthy)
1251
1252
INTERNALS:
1253
1254
* find_* methods available for BzrDirs, Branches and WorkingTrees.

1257
* Help topics can now be loaded from files.
1258
(Ian Clatworthy, Alexander Belchenko)
1259
1260
* get_parent_map now always provides tuples as its output. (Aaron Bentley)
1261
1262
* Parent Providers should now implement ``get_parent_map`` returning a
1263
dictionary instead of ``get_parents`` returning a list.
1264
``Graph.get_parents`` is now deprecated. (John Arbash Meinel,
1265
Robert Collins)
1266
1267
* Patience Diff now supports arbitrary python objects, as long as they
1268
support ``hash()``. (John Arbash Meinel)
1269
1270
* Reduce selftest overhead to establish test names by memoization.
1271
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1272
1273
API BREAKS:
1274
1275
TESTING:
1276
1277
* Modules can now customise their tests by defining a ``load_tests``
1278
attribute. ``pydoc bzrlib.tests.TestUtil.TestLoader.loadTestsFromModule``
1279
for the documentation on this attribute. (Robert Collins)
1280
1281
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_id_re`` which helps
1282
filter tests based on a regular expression search on the tests id.
1283
(Robert Collins)
1284
1285
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.condition_isinstance`` which helps
1286
filter tests based on class. (Robert Collins)
1287
1288
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_suite_by_condition`` which
1289
generalises the ``exclude_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1290
1291
* New helper function ``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_condition`` which
1292
generalises the ``filter_suite_by_re`` function. (Robert Collins)
1293
1294
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.exclude_tests_by_re`` which gives a new
1295
TestSuite that does not contain tests from the input that matched a
1296
regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1297
1298
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.randomize_suite`` which returns a
1299
randomized copy of the input suite. (Robert Collins)
1300
1301
* New helper method ``bzrlib.tests.split_suite_by_re`` which splits a test
1302
suite into two according to a regular expression. (Robert Collins)
1303
1304
* Parametrize all http tests for the transport implementations, the http
1305
protocol versions (1.0 and 1.1) and the authentication schemes.
1306
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1307
1308
* The ``exclude_pattern`` and ``random_order`` parameters to the function
1309
``bzrlib.tests.filter_suite_by_re`` have been deprecated. (Robert Collins)
1310
1311
* The method ``bzrlib.tests.sort_suite_by_re`` has been deprecated. It is
1312
replaced by the new helper methods added in this release. (Robert Collins)

* Give more feedback during long http downloads by making readv deliver data
1347
as it arrives for urllib, and issue more requests for pycurl. High latency
1348
networks are better handled by urllib, the pycurl implementation give more
1349
feedback but also incur more latency.

* Added a --coverage option to selftest. (Andrew Bennetts)
1376
1377
* Annotate merge (merge-type=weave) now supports cherrypicking.
1378
(Aaron Bentley)
1379
1380
* ``bzr commit`` now doesn't print the revision number twice. (Matt
1381
Nordhoff, #172612)
1382
1383
* New configuration option ``bugtracker_<tracker_abbrevation>_url`` to
1384
define locations of bug trackers that are not directly supported by
1385
bzr or a plugin. The URL will be treated as a template and ``{id}``
1386
placeholders will be replaced by specific bug IDs. (Lukáš Lalinský)
1387
1388
* Support logging single merge revisions with short and line log formatters.
1389
(Kent Gibson)
1390
1391
* User Guide enhanced with suggested readability improvements from
1392
Matt Revell and corrections from John Arbash Meinel. (Ian Clatworthy)
1393
1394
* Quick Start Guide renamed to Quick Start Card, moved down in
1395
the catalog, provided in pdf and png format and updated to refer
1396
to ``send`` instead of ``bundle``. (Ian Clatworthy, #165080)
1397
1398
* ``switch`` can now be used on heavyweight checkouts as well as
1399
lightweight ones. After switching a heavyweight checkout, the
1400
local branch is a mirror/cache of the new bound branch and
1401
uncommitted changes in the working tree are merged. As a safety
1402
check, if there are local commits in a checkout which have not
1403
been committed to the previously bound branch, then ``switch``
1404
fails unless the ``--force`` option is given. This option is
1405
now also required if the branch a lightweight checkout is pointing
1406
to has been moved. (Ian Clatworthy)
1407
1408
INTERNALS:
1409
1410
* New -Dhttp debug option reports http connections, requests and responses.
1411
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1412
1413
* New -Dmerge debug option, which emits merge plans for merge-type=weave.
1414
1415
BUGFIXES:
1416
1417
* Better error message when running ``bzr cat`` on a non-existant branch.
1418
(Lukáš Lalinský, #133782)
1419
1420
* Catch OSError 17 (file exists) in final phase of tree transform and show
1421
filename to user.
1422
(Alexander Belchenko, #111758)
1423
1424
* Catch ShortReadvErrors while using pycurl. Also make readv more robust by
1425
allowing multiple GET requests to be issued if too many ranges are
1426
required.
1427
(Vincent Ladeuil, #172701)
1428
1429
* Check for missing basis texts when fetching from packs to packs.
1430
(John Arbash Meinel, #165290)
1431
1432
* Fall back to showing e-mail in ``log --short/--line`` if the
1433
committer/author has only e-mail. (Lukáš Lalinský, #157026)
1434
1435
API BREAKS:
1436
1437
* Deprecate not passing a ``location`` argument to commit reporters'
1438
``started`` methods. (Matt Nordhoff)

bzr 1.0rc1 2007-11-30
1442
---------------------
1443
1444
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1445
1446
* The default repository format is now ``pack-0.92``. This
1447
default is used when creating new repositories with ``init`` and
1448
``init-repo``, and when branching over bzr+ssh or bzr+hpss.
1449
(See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164626)
1450
1451
This format can be read and written by Bazaar 0.92 and later, and
1452
data can be transferred to and from older formats.
1453
1454
To upgrade, please reconcile your repository (``bzr reconcile``), and then
1455
upgrade (``bzr upgrade``).
1456
1457
``pack-0.92`` offers substantially better scaling and performance than the
1458
previous knits format. Some operations are slower where the code already
1459
had bad scaling characteristics under knits, the pack format makes such
1460
operations more visible as part of being more scalable overall. We will
1461
correct such operations over the coming releases and encourage the filing
1462
of bugs on any operation which you observe to be slower in a packs
1463
repository. One particular case that we do not intend to fix is pulling
1464
data from a pack repository into a knit repository over a high latency
1465
link; downgrading such data requires reinsertion of the file texts, and
1466
this is a classic space/time tradeoff. The current implementation is
1467
conservative on memory usage because we need to support converting data
1468
from any tree without problems.
1469
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, #164476)
1470
1471
CHANGES:
1472
1473
* Disable detection of plink.exe as possible ssh vendor. Plink vendor
1474
still available if user selects it explicitly with BZR_SSH environment
1475
variable. (Alexander Belchenko, workaround for bug #107593)
1476
1477
* The pack format is now accessible as "pack-0.92", or "pack-0.92-subtree"
1478
to enable the subtree functions (for example, for bzr-svn).
1479
See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/developer/packrepo.html
1480
(Martin Pool)
1481
1482
FEATURES:
1483
1484
* New ``authentication.conf`` file holding the password or other credentials
1485
for remote servers. This can be used for ssh, sftp, smtp and other
1486
supported transports.
1487
(Vincent Ladeuil)
1488
1489
* New rich-root and rich-root-pack formats, recording the same data about
1490
tree roots that's recorded for all other directories.
1491
(Aaron Bentley, #164639)
1492
1493
* ``pack-0.92`` repositories can now be reconciled.
1494
(Robert Collins, #154173)
1495
1496
* ``switch`` command added for changing the branch a lightweight checkout
1497
is associated with and updating the tree to reflect the latest content
1498
accordingly. This command was previously part of the BzrTools plug-in.
1499
(Ian Clatworthy, Aaron Bentley, David Allouche)
1500
1501
* ``reconfigure`` command can now convert branches, trees, or checkouts to
1502
lightweight checkouts. (Aaron Bentley)
1503
1504
PERFORMANCE:
1505
1506
* Commit updates the state of the working tree via a delta rather than
1507
supplying entirely new basis trees. For commit of a single specified file
1508
this reduces the wall clock time for commit by roughly a 30%.
1509
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
1510
1511
* Commit with many automatically found deleted paths no longer performs
1512
linear scanning for the children of those paths during inventory
1513
iteration. This should fix commit performance blowing out when many such
1514
paths occur during commit. (Robert Collins, #156491)
1515
1516
* Fetch with pack repositories will no longer read the entire history graph.
1517
(Robert Collins, #88319)
1518
1519
* Revert takes out an appropriate lock when reverting to a basis tree, and
1520
does not read the basis inventory twice. (Robert Collins)
1521
1522
* Diff does not require an inventory to be generated on dirstate trees.
1523
(Aaron Bentley, #149254)
1524
1525
* New annotate merge (--merge-type=weave) implementation is fast on
1526
versionedfiles withough cached annotations, e.g. pack-0.92.
1527
(Aaron Bentley)
1528
1529
IMPROVEMENTS:
1530
1531
* ``bzr merge`` now warns when it encounters a criss-cross merge.
1532
(Aaron Bentley)
1533
1534
* ``bzr send`` now doesn't require the target e-mail address to be
1535
specified on the command line if an interactive e-mail client is used.
1536
(Lukáš Lalinský)
1537
1538
* ``bzr tags`` now prints the revision number for each tag, instead of
1539
the revision id, unless --show-ids is passed. In addition, tags can be
1540
sorted chronologically instead of lexicographically with --sort=time.
1541
(Adeodato Simó, #120231)
1542
1543
* Windows standalone version of bzr is able to load system-wide plugins from
1544
"plugins" subdirectory in installation directory. In addition standalone
1545
installer write to the registry (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Bazaar) useful info
1546
about paths and bzr version. (Alexander Belchenko, #129298)

* A progress bar has been added for knitpack -> knitpack fetching.
1553
(Robert Collins, #157789, #159147)
1554
1555
* Branching from a branch via smart server now preserves the repository
1556
format. (Andrew Bennetts, #164626)
1557
1558
* ``commit`` is now able to invoke an external editor in a non-ascii
1559
directory. (Daniel Watkins, #84043)
1560
1561
* Catch connection errors for ftp.
1562
(Vincent Ladeuil, #164567)
1563
1564
* ``check`` no longer reports spurious unreferenced text versions.
1565
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, #162931, #165071)
1566
1567
* Conflicts are now resolved recursively by ``revert``.
1568
(Aaron Bentley, #102739)
1569
1570
* Detect invalid transport reuse attempts by catching invalid URLs.
1571
(Vincent Ladeuil, #161819)
1572
1573
* Deleting a file without removing it shows a correct diff, not a traceback.
1574
(Aaron Bentley)
1575
1576
* Do no use timeout in HttpServer anymore.
1577
(Vincent Ladeuil, #158972).
1578
1579
* Don't catch the exceptions related to the http pipeline status before
1580
retrying an http request or some programming errors may be masked.
1581
(Vincent Ladeuil, #160012)
1582
1583
* Fix ``bzr rm`` to not delete modified and ignored files.
1584
(Lukáš Lalinský, #172598)
1585
1586
* Fix exception when revisionspec contains merge revisons but log
1587
formatter doesn't support merge revisions. (Kent Gibson, #148908)
1588
1589
* Fix exception when ScopeReplacer is assigned to before any members have
1590
been retrieved. (Aaron Bentley)
1591
1592
* Fix multiple connections during checkout --lightweight.
1593
(Vincent Ladeuil, #159150)
1594
1595
* Fix possible error in insert_data_stream when copying between
1596
pack repositories over bzr+ssh or bzr+http.
1597
KnitVersionedFile.get_data_stream now makes sure that requested
1598
compression parents are sent before any delta hunks that depend
1599
on them.
1600
(Martin Pool, #164637)
1601
1602
* Fix typo in limiting offsets coalescing for http, leading to
1603
whole files being downloaded instead of parts.
1604
(Vincent Ladeuil, #165061)
1605
1606
* FTP server errors don't error in the error handling code.
1607
(Robert Collins, #161240)
1608
1609
* Give a clearer message when a pull fails because the source needs
1610
to be reconciled.
1611
(Martin Pool, #164443)
1612
1613
* It is clearer when a plugin cannot be loaded because of its name, and a
1614
suggestion for an acceptable name is given. (Daniel Watkins, #103023)
1615
1616
* Leave port as None in transport objects if user doesn't
1617
specify a port in urls.
1618
(vincent Ladeuil, #150860)
1619
1620
* Make sure Repository.fetch(self) is properly a no-op for all
1621
Repository implementations. (John Arbash Meinel, #158333)
1622
1623
* Mark .bzr directories as "hidden" on Windows.
1624
(Alexander Belchenko, #71147)
1625
1626
* ``merge --uncommitted`` can now operate on a single file.
1627
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, #136890)
1628
1629
* Obsolete packs are now cleaned up by pack and autopack operations.
1630
(Robert Collins, #153789)
1631
1632
* Operations pulling data from a smart server where the underlying
1633
repositories are not both annotated/both unannotated will now work.
1634
(Robert Collins, #165304).
1635
1636
* Reconcile now shows progress bars. (Robert Collins, #159351)
1637
1638
* ``RemoteBranch`` was not initializing ``self._revision_id_to_revno_map``
1639
properly. (John Arbash Meinel, #162486)
1640
1641
* Removing an already-removed file reports the file does not exist. (Daniel
1642
Watkins, #152811)
1643
1644
* Rename on Windows is able to change filename case.
1645
(Alexander Belchenko, #77740)
1646
1647
* Return error instead of a traceback for ``bzr log -r0``.
1648
(Kent Gibson, #133751)
1649
1650
* Return error instead of a traceback when bzr is unable to create
1651
symlink on some platforms (e.g. on Windows).
1652
(Alexander Belchenko, workaround for #81689)
1653
1654
* Revert doesn't crash when restoring a single file from a deleted
1655
directory. (Aaron Bentley)
1656
1657
* Stderr output via logging mechanism now goes through encoded wrapper
1658
and no more uses utf-8, but terminal encoding instead. So all unicode
1659
strings now should be readable in non-utf-8 terminal.
1660
(Alexander Belchenko, #54173)
1661
1662
* The error message when ``move --after`` should be used makes how to do so
1663
clearer. (Daniel Watkins, #85237)
1664
1665
* Unicode-safe output from ``bzr info``. The output will be encoded
1666
using the terminal encoding and unrepresentable characters will be
1667
replaced by '?'. (Lukáš Lalinský, #151844)
1668
1669
* Working trees are no longer created when pushing into a local no-trees
1670
repo. (Daniel Watkins, #50582)
1671
1672
* Upgrade util/configobj to version 4.4.0.
1673
(Vincent Ladeuil, #151208).
1674
1675
* Wrap medusa ftp test server as an FTPServer feature.
1676
(Vincent Ladeuil, #157752)
1677
1678
API BREAKS:
1679
1680
* ``osutils.backup_file`` is deprecated. Actually it's not used in bzrlib
1681
during very long time. (Alexander Belchenko)
1682
1683
* The return value of
1684
``VersionedFile.iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` has been
1685
changed. Previously it was an iterator of lines, now it is an iterator of
1686
(line, version_id) tuples. This change has been made to aid reconcile and
1687
fetch operations. (Robert Collins)
1688
1689
* ``bzrlib.repository.get_versioned_file_checker`` is now private.
1690
(Robert Collins)
1691
1692
* The Repository format registry default has been removed; it was previously
1693
obsoleted by the bzrdir format default, which implies a default repository
1694
format.
1695
(Martin Pool)
1696
1697
INTERNALS:
1698
1699
* Added ``ContainerSerialiser`` and ``ContainerPushParser`` to
1700
``bzrlib.pack``. These classes provide more convenient APIs for generating
1701
and parsing containers from streams rather than from files. (Andrew
1702
Bennetts)
1703
1704
* New module ``lru_cache`` providing a cache for use by tasks that need
1705
semi-random access to large amounts of data. (John A Meinel)
1706
1707
* InventoryEntry.diff is now deprecated. Please use diff.DiffTree instead.

1723
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
1724
1725
CHANGES:
1726
1727
* ``bzr`` now returns exit code 4 if an internal error occurred, and
1728
3 if a normal error occurred. (Martin Pool)
1729
1730
* ``pull``, ``merge`` and ``push`` will no longer silently correct some
1731
repository index errors that occured as a result of the Weave disk format.
1732
Instead the ``reconcile`` command needs to be run to correct those
1733
problems if they exist (and it has been able to fix most such problems
1734
since bzr 0.8). Some new problems have been identified during this release
1735
and you should run ``bzr check`` once on every repository to see if you
1736
need to reconcile. If you cannot ``pull`` or ``merge`` from a remote
1737
repository due to mismatched parent errors - a symptom of index errors -
1738
you should simply take a full copy of that remote repository to a clean
1739
directory outside any local repositories, then run reconcile on it, and
1740
finally pull from it locally. (And naturally email the repositories owner
1741
to ask them to upgrade and run reconcile).
1742
(Robert Collins)
1743
1744
FEATURES:
1745
1746
* New ``knitpack-experimental`` repository format. This is interoperable with
1747
the ``dirstate-tags`` format but uses a smarter storage design that greatly
1748
speeds up many operations, both local and remote. This new format can be
1749
used as an option to the ``init``, ``init-repository`` and ``upgrade``
1750
commands. See http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/0.92/developers/knitpack.html
1751
for further details. (Robert Collins)
1752
1753
* For users of bzr-svn (and those testing the prototype subtree support) that
1754
wish to try packs, a new ``knitpack-subtree-experimental`` format has also
1755
been added. This is interoperable with the ``dirstate-subtrees`` format.
1756
(Robert Collins)
1757
1758
* New ``reconfigure`` command. (Aaron Bentley)
1759
1760
* New ``revert --forget-merges`` command, which removes the record of a pending
1761
merge without affecting the working tree contents. (Martin Pool)
1762
1763
* New ``bzr_remote_path`` configuration variable allows finer control of
1764
remote bzr locations than BZR_REMOTE_PATH environment variable.
1765
(Aaron Bentley)
1766
1767
* New ``launchpad-login`` command to tell Bazaar your Launchpad
1768
user ID. This can then be used by other functions of the
1769
Launchpad plugin. (James Henstridge)
1770
1771
PERFORMANCE:
1772
1773
* Commit in quiet mode is now slightly faster as the information to
1774
output is no longer calculated. (Ian Clatworthy)
1775
1776
* Commit no longer checks for new text keys during insertion when the
1777
revision id was deterministically unique. (Robert Collins)
1778
1779
* Committing a change which is not a merge and does not change the number of
1780
files in the tree is faster by utilising the data about whether files are
1781
changed to determine if the tree is unchanged rather than recalculating
1782
it at the end of the commit process. (Robert Collins)
1783
1784
* Inventory serialisation no longer double-sha's the content.
1785
(Robert Collins)
1786
1787
* Knit text reconstruction now avoids making copies of the lines list for
1788
interim texts when building a single text. The new ``apply_delta`` method
1789
on ``KnitContent`` aids this by allowing modification of the revision id
1790
such objects represent. (Robert Collins)
1791
1792
* Pack indices are now partially parsed for specific key lookup using a
1793
bisection approach. (Robert Collins)
1794
1795
* Partial commits are now approximately 40% faster by walking over the
1796
unselected current tree more efficiently. (Robert Collins)
1797
1798
* XML inventory serialisation takes 20% less time while being stricter about
1799
the contents. (Robert Collins)
1800
1801
* Graph ``heads()`` queries have been fixed to no longer access all history
1802
unnecessarily. (Robert Collins)
1803
1804
IMPROVEMENTS:
1805
1806
* ``bzr+https://`` smart server across https now supported.
1807
(John Ferlito, Martin Pool, #128456)
1808
1809
* Mutt is now a supported mail client; set ``mail_client=mutt`` in your
1810
bazaar.conf and ``send`` will use mutt. (Keir Mierle)
1811
1812
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``merge`` command for cherrypicking
1813
changes from one revision. (Alexander Belchenko, #141368)
1814
1815
* Show encodings, locale and list of plugins in the traceback message.
1816
(Martin Pool, #63894)
1817
1818
* Experimental directory formats can now be marked with
1819
``experimental = True`` during registration. (Ian Clatworthy)
1820
1821
DOCUMENTATION:
1822
1823
* New *Bazaar in Five Minutes* guide. (Matthew Revell)
1824
1825
* The hooks reference documentation is now converted to html as expected.
1826
(Ian Clatworthy)
1827
1828
BUG FIXES:
1829
1830
* Connection error reporting for the smart server has been fixed to
1831
display a user friendly message instead of a traceback.
1832
(Ian Clatworthy, #115601)
1833
1834
* Make sure to use ``O_BINARY`` when opening files to check their
1835
sha1sum. (Alexander Belchenko, John Arbash Meinel, #153493)
1836
1837
* Fix a problem with Win32 handling of the executable bit.
1838
(John Arbash Meinel, #149113)
1839
1840
* ``bzr+ssh://`` and ``sftp://`` URLs that do not specify ports explicitly
1841
no longer assume that means port 22. This allows people using OpenSSH to
1842
override the default port in their ``~/.ssh/config`` if they wish. This
1843
fixes a bug introduced in bzr 0.91. (Andrew Bennetts, #146715)
1844
1845
* Commands reporting exceptions can now be profiled and still have their
1846
data correctly dumped to a file. For example, a ``bzr commit`` with
1847
no changes still reports the operation as pointless but doing so no
1848
longer throws away the profiling data if this command is run with
1849
``--lsprof-file callgrind.out.ci`` say. (Ian Clatworthy)
1850
1851
* Fallback to ftp when paramiko is not installed and sftp can't be used for
1852
``tests/commands`` so that the test suite is still usable without
1853
paramiko.
1854
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59150)
1855
1856
* Fix commit ordering in corner case. (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
1857
1858
* Fix long standing bug in partial commit when there are renames
1859
left in tree. (Robert Collins, #140419)
1860
1861
* Fix selftest semi-random noise during http related tests.
1862
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140614)
1863
1864
* Fix typo in ftp.py making the reconnection fail on temporary errors.
1865
(Vincent Ladeuil, #154259)
1866
1867
* Fix failing test by comparing real paths to cover the case where the TMPDIR
1868
contains a symbolic link.
1869
(Vincent Ladeuil, #141382).
1870
1871
* Fix log against smart server branches that don't support tags.
1872
(James Westby, #140615)
1873
1874
* Fix pycurl http implementation by defining error codes from
1875
pycurl instead of relying on an old curl definition.
1876
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147530)
1877
1878
* Fix 'unprintable error' message when displaying BzrCheckError and
1879
some other exceptions on Python 2.5.
1880
(Martin Pool, #144633)
1881
1882
* Fix ``Inventory.copy()`` and add test for it. (Jelmer Vernooij)
1883
1884
* Handles default value for ListOption in cmd_commit.
1885
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140432)
1886
1887
* HttpServer and FtpServer need to be closed properly or a listening socket
1888
will remain opened.
1889
(Vincent Ladeuil, #140055)
1890
1891
* Monitor the .bzr directory created in the top level test
1892
directory to detect leaking tests.
1893
(Vincent Ladeuil, #147986)
1894
1895
* The basename, not the full path, is now used when checking whether
1896
the profiling dump file begins with ``callgrind.out`` or not. This
1897
fixes a bug reported by Aaron Bentley on IRC. (Ian Clatworthy)
1898
1899
* Trivial fix for invoking command ``reconfigure`` without arguments.
1900
(Rob Weir, #141629)
1901
1902
* ``WorkingTree.rename_one`` will now raise an error if normalisation of the
1903
new path causes bzr to be unable to access the file. (Robert Collins)
1904
1905
* Correctly detect a NoSuchFile when using a filezilla server. (Gary van der
1906
Merwe)
1907
1908
API BREAKS:
1909
1910
* ``bzrlib.index.GraphIndex`` now requires a size parameter to the
1911
constructor, for enabling bisection searches. (Robert Collins)
1912
1913
* ``CommitBuilder.record_entry_contents`` now requires the root entry of a
1914
tree be supplied to it, previously failing to do so would trigger a
1915
deprecation warning. (Robert Collins)
1916
1917
* ``KnitVersionedFile.add*`` will no longer cache added records even when
1918
enable_cache() has been called - the caching feature is now exclusively for
1919
reading existing data. (Robert Collins)
1920
1921
* ``ReadOnlyLockError`` is deprecated; ``LockFailed`` is usually more
1922
appropriate. (Martin Pool)
1923
1924
* Removed ``bzrlib.transport.TransportLogger`` - please see the new
1925
``trace+`` transport instead. (Robert Collins)
1926
1927
* Removed previously deprecated varargs interface to ``TestCase.run_bzr`` and
1928
deprecated methods ``TestCase.capture`` and ``TestCase.run_bzr_captured``.
1929
(Martin Pool)
1930
1931
* Removed previous deprecated ``basis_knit`` parameter to the
1932
``KnitVersionedFile`` constructor. (Robert Collins)
1933
1934
* Special purpose method ``TestCase.run_bzr_decode`` is moved to the test_non_ascii
1935
class that needs it.
1936
(Martin Pool)
1937
1938
* The class ``bzrlib.repofmt.knitrepo.KnitRepository3`` has been folded into
1939
``KnitRepository`` by parameters to the constructor. (Robert Collins)
1940
1941
* The ``VersionedFile`` interface now allows content checks to be bypassed
1942
by supplying check_content=False. This saves nearly 30% of the minimum
1943
cost to store a version of a file. (Robert Collins)
1944
1945
* Tree's with bad state such as files with no length or sha will no longer
1946
be silently accepted by the repository XML serialiser. To serialise
1947
inventories without such data, pass working=True to write_inventory.
1948
(Robert Collins)
1949
1950
* ``VersionedFile.fix_parents`` has been removed as a harmful API.
1951
``VersionedFile.join`` will no longer accept different parents on either
1952
side of a join - it will either ignore them, or error, depending on the
1953
implementation. See notes when upgrading for more information.
1954
(Robert Collins)
1955
1956
INTERNALS:
1957
1958
* ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.put_file`` now returns the number of bytes
1959
put by the method call, to allow avoiding stat-after-write or
1960
housekeeping in callers. (Robert Collins)
1961
1962
* ``bzrlib.xml_serializer.Serializer`` is now responsible for checking that
1963
mandatory attributes are present on serialisation and deserialisation.
1964
This fixes some holes in API usage and allows better separation between
1965
physical storage and object serialisation. (Robert Collins)
1966
1967
* New class ``bzrlib.errors.InternalBzrError`` which is just a convenient
1968
shorthand for deriving from BzrError and setting internal_error = True.
1969
(Robert Collins)
1970
1971
* New method ``bzrlib.mutabletree.update_to_one_parent_via_delta`` for
1972
moving the state of a parent tree to a new version via a delta rather than
1973
a complete replacement tree. (Robert Collins)
1974
1975
* New method ``bzrlib.osutils.minimum_path_selection`` useful for removing
1976
duplication from user input, when a user mentions both a path and an item
1977
contained within that path. (Robert Collins)
1978
1979
* New method ``bzrlib.repository.Repository.is_write_locked`` useful for
1980
determining if a repository is write locked. (Robert Collins)
1981
1982
* New method on ``bzrlib.tree.Tree`` ``path_content_summary`` provides a
1983
tuple containing the key information about a path for commit processing
1984
to complete. (Robert Collins)
1985
1986
* New method on xml serialisers, write_inventory_to_lines, which matches the
1987
API used by knits for adding content. (Robert Collins)
1988
1989
* New module ``bzrlib.bisect_multi`` with generic multiple-bisection-at-once
1990
logic, currently only available for byte-based lookup
1991
(``bisect_multi_bytes``). (Robert Collins)
1992
1993
* New helper ``bzrlib.tuned_gzip.bytes_to_gzip`` which takes a byte string
1994
and returns a gzipped version of the same. This is used to avoid a bunch
1995
of api friction during adding of knit hunks. (Robert Collins)
1996
1997
* New parameter on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.readv``
1998
``adjust_for_latency`` which changes readv from returning strictly the
1999
requested data to inserted return larger ranges and in forward read order
2000
to reduce the effect of network latency. (Robert Collins)
2001
2002
* New parameter yield_parents on ``Inventory.iter_entries_by_dir`` which
2003
causes the parents of a selected id to be returned recursively, so all the
2004
paths from the root down to each element of selected_file_ids are
2005
returned. (Robert Collins)
2006
2007
* Knit joining has been enhanced to support plain to annotated conversion
2008
and annotated to plain conversion. (Ian Clatworthy)
2009
2010
* The CommitBuilder method ``record_entry_contents`` now returns summary
2011
information about the effect of the commit on the repository. This tuple
2012
contains an inventory delta item if the entry changed from the basis, and a
2013
boolean indicating whether a new file graph node was recorded.
2014
(Robert Collins)
2015
2016
* The python path used in the Makefile can now be overridden.
2017
(Andrew Bennetts, Ian Clatworthy)
2018
2019
TESTING:
2020
2021
* New transport implementation ``trace+`` which is useful for testing,
2022
logging activity taken to its _activity attribute. (Robert Collins)
2023
2024
* When running bzr commands within the test suite, internal exceptions are
2025
not caught and reported in the usual way, but rather allowed to propagate
2026
up and be visible to the test suite. A new API ``run_bzr_catch_user_errors``
2027
makes this behavior available to other users.
2028
(Martin Pool)
2029
2030
* New method ``TestCase.call_catch_warnings`` for testing methods that
2031
raises a Python warning. (Martin Pool)
2032
2033
2034
bzr 0.91 2007-09-26
2035
-------------------
2036
2037
BUG FIXES:
2038
2039
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2040
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2041
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2042
2043
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2044
2045
* Fix ''bzr info bzr://host/'' and other operations on ''bzr://' URLs with
2046
an implicit port. We were incorrectly raising PathNotChild due to
2047
inconsistent treatment of the ''_port'' attribute on the Transport object.
2048
(Andrew Bennetts, #133965)
2049
2050
* Make RemoteRepository.sprout cope gracefully with servers that don't
2051
support the ``Repository.tarball`` request.
2052
(Andrew Bennetts)
2053
2054
2055
bzr 0.91rc2 2007-09-11
2056
----------------------
2057
2058
* Replaced incorrect tarball for previous release; a debug statement was left
2059
in bzrlib/remote.py.
2060
2061
2062
bzr 0.91rc1 2007-09-11
2063
----------------------
2064
2065
CHANGES:
2066
2067
* The default branch and repository format has changed to
2068
``dirstate-tags``, so tag commands are active by default.
2069
This format is compatible with Bazaar 0.15 and later.
2070
This incidentally fixes bug #126141.
2071
(Martin Pool)
2072
2073
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is no longer a global option. If present, it
2074
must now appear after the command name. Scripts doing things like
2075
``bzr -q missing`` need to be rewritten as ``bzr missing -q``.
2076
(Ian Clatworthy)
2077
2078
FEATURES:
2079
2080
* New option ``--author`` in ``bzr commit`` to specify the author of the
2081
change, if it's different from the committer. ``bzr log`` and
2082
``bzr annotate`` display the author instead of the committer.
2083
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2084
2085
* In addition to global options and command specific options, a set of
2086
standard options are now supported. Standard options are legal for
2087
all commands. The initial set of standard options are:
2088
2089
* ``--help`` or ``-h`` - display help message
2090
* ``--verbose`` or ``-v`` - display additional information
2091
* ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` - only output warnings and errors.
2092
2093
Unlike global options, standard options can be used in aliases and
2094
may have command-specific help. (Ian Clatworthy)
2095
2096
* Verbosity level processing has now been unified. If ``--verbose``
2097
or ``-v`` is specified on the command line multiple times, the
2098
verbosity level is made positive the first time then increased.
2099
If ``--quiet`` or ``-q`` is specified on the command line
2100
multiple times, the verbosity level is made negative the first
2101
time then decreased. To get the default verbosity level of zero,
2102
either specify none of the above , ``--no-verbose`` or ``--no-quiet``.
2103
Note that most commands currently ignore the magnitude of the
2104
verbosity level but do respect *quiet vs normal vs verbose* when
2105
generating output. (Ian Clatworthy)
2106
2107
* ``Branch.hooks`` now supports ``pre_commit`` hook. The hook's signature
2108
is documented in BranchHooks constructor. (Nam T. Nguyen, #102747)
2109
2110
* New ``Repository.stream_knit_data_for_revisions`` request added to the
2111
network protocol for greatly reduced roundtrips when retrieving a set of
2112
revisions. (Andrew Bennetts)
2113
2114
BUG FIXES:
2115
2116
* ``bzr plugins`` now lists the version number for each plugin in square
2117
brackets after the path. (Robert Collins, #125421)
2118
2119
* Pushing, pulling and branching branches with subtree references was not
2120
copying the subtree weave, preventing the file graph from being accessed
2121
and causing errors in commits in clones. (Robert Collins)
2122
2123
* Suppress warning "integer argument expected, got float" from Paramiko,
2124
which sometimes caused false test failures. (Martin Pool)
2125
2126
* Fix bug in bundle 4 that could cause attempts to write data to wrong
2127
versionedfile. (Aaron Bentley)
2128
2129
* Diffs generated using "diff -p" no longer break the patch parser.
2130
(Aaron Bentley)
2131
2132
* get_transport treats an empty possible_transports list the same as a non-
2133
empty one. (Aaron Bentley)
2134
2135
* patch verification for merge directives is reactivated, and works with
2136
CRLF and CR files. (Aaron Bentley)
2137
2138
* Accept ..\ as a path in revision specifiers. This fixes for example
2139
"-r branch:..\other-branch" on Windows. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2140
2141
* ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` may now contain trailing slashes.
2142
(Blake Winton, #129299)
2143
2144
* man page no longer lists hidden options (#131667, Aaron Bentley)
2145
2146
* ``uncommit --help`` now explains the -r option adequately. (Daniel
2147
Watkins, #106726)
2148
2149
* Error messages are now better formatted with parameters (such as
2150
filenames) quoted when necessary. This avoids confusion when directory
2151
names ending in a '.' at the end of messages were confused with a
2152
full stop that may or not have been there. (Daniel Watkins, #129791)
2153
2154
* Fix ``status FILE -r X..Y``. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2155
2156
* If a particular command is an alias, ``help`` will show the alias
2157
instead of claiming there is no help for said alias. (Daniel Watkins,
2158
#133548)
2159
2160
* TreeTransform-based operations, like pull, merge, revert, and branch,
2161
now roll back if they encounter an error. (Aaron Bentley, #67699)
2162
2163
* ``bzr commit`` now exits cleanly if a character unsupported by the
2164
current encoding is used in the commit message. (Daniel Watkins,
2165
#116143)
2166
2167
* bzr send uses default values for ranges when only half of an elipsis
2168
is specified ("-r..5" or "-r5.."). (#61685, Aaron Bentley)
2169
2170
* Avoid trouble when Windows ssh calls itself 'plink' but no plink
2171
binary is present. (Martin Albisetti, #107155)
2172
2173
* ``bzr remove`` should remove clean subtrees. Now it will remove (without
2174
needing ``--force``) subtrees that contain no files with text changes or
2175
modified files. With ``--force`` it removes the subtree regardless of
2176
text changes or unknown files. Directories with renames in or out (but
2177
not changed otherwise) will now be removed without needing ``--force``.
2178
Unknown ignored files will be deleted without needing ``--force``.
2179
(Marius Kruger, #111665)
2180
2181
* When two plugins conflict, the source of both the losing and now the
2182
winning definition is shown. (Konstantin Mikhaylov, #5454)
2183
2184
* When committing to a branch, the location being committed to is
2185
displayed. (Daniel Watkins, #52479)
2186
2187
* ``bzr --version`` takes care about encoding of stdout, especially
2188
when output is redirected. (Alexander Belchenko, #131100)
2189
2190
* Prompt for an ftp password if none is provided.
2191
(Vincent Ladeuil, #137044)
2192
2193
* Reuse bound branch associated transport to avoid multiple
2194
connections.
2195
(Vincent Ladeuil, #128076, #131396)
2196
2197
* Overwrite conflicting tags by ``push`` and ``pull`` if the
2198
``--overwrite`` option is specified. (Lukáš Lalinský, #93947)
2199
2200
* In checkouts, tags are copied into the master branch when created,
2201
changed or deleted, and are copied into the checkout when it is
2202
updated. (Martin Pool, #93856, #93860)
2203
2204
* Print a warning instead of aborting the ``python setup.py install``
2205
process if building of a C extension is not possible.
2206
(Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2207
2208
IMPROVEMENTS:
2209
2210
* Add the option "--show-diff" to the commit command in order to display
2211
the diff during the commit log creation. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2212
2213
* ``pull`` and ``merge`` are much faster at installing bundle format 4.
2214
(Aaron Bentley)
2215
2216
* ``pull -v`` no longer includes deltas, making it much faster.
2217
(Aaron Bentley)
2218
2219
* ``send`` now sends the directive as an attachment by default.
2220
(Aaron Bentley, Lukáš Lalinský, Alexander Belchenko)
2221
2222
* Documentation updates (Martin Albisetti)
2223
2224
* Help on debug flags is now included in ``help global-options``.
2225
(Daniel Watkins, #124853)
2226
2227
* Parameters passed on the command line are checked to ensure they are
2228
supported by the encoding in use. (Daniel Watkins)
2229
2230
* The compression used within the bzr repository has changed from zlib
2231
level 9 to the zlib default level. This improves commit performance with
2232
only a small increase in space used (and in some cases a reduction in
2233
space). (Robert Collins)
2234
2235
* Initial commit no longer SHAs files twice and now reuses the path
2236
rather than looking it up again, making it faster.
2237
(Ian Clatworthy)
2238
2239
* New option ``-c``/``--change`` for ``diff`` and ``status`` to show
2240
changes in one revision. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2241
2242
* If versioned files match a given ignore pattern, a warning is now
2243
given. (Daniel Watkins, #48623)
2244
2245
* ``bzr status`` now has -S as a short name for --short and -V as a
2246
short name for --versioned. These have been added to assist users
2247
migrating from Subversion: ``bzr status -SV`` is now like
2248
``svn status -q``. (Daniel Watkins, #115990)
2249
2250
* Added C implementation of ``PatienceSequenceMatcher``, which is about
2251
10x faster than the Python version. This speeds up commands that
2252
need file diffing, such as ``bzr commit`` or ``bzr diff``.
2253
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2254
2255
* HACKING has been extended with a large section on core developer tasks.
2256
(Ian Clatworthy)
2257
2258
* Add ``branches`` and ``standalone-trees`` as online help topics and
2259
include them as Concepts within the User Reference.
2260
(Paul Moore, Ian Clatworthy)
2261
2262
* ``check`` can detect versionedfile parent references that are
2263
inconsistent with revision and inventory info, and ``reconcile`` can fix
2264
them. These faulty references were generated by 0.8-era releases,
2265
so repositories which were manipulated by old bzrs should be
2266
checked, and possibly reconciled ASAP. (Aaron Bentley, Andrew Bennetts)
2267
2268
API BREAKS:
2269
2270
* ``Branch.append_revision`` is removed altogether; please use
2271
``Branch.set_last_revision_info`` instead. (Martin Pool)
2272
2273
* CommitBuilder now advertises itself as requiring the root entry to be
2274
supplied. This only affects foreign repository implementations which reuse
2275
CommitBuilder directly and have changed record_entry_contents to require
2276
that the root not be supplied. This should be precisely zero plugins
2277
affected. (Robert Collins)
2278
2279
* The ``add_lines`` methods on ``VersionedFile`` implementations has changed
2280
its return value to include the sha1 and length of the inserted text. This
2281
allows the avoidance of double-sha1 calculations during commit.
2282
(Robert Collins)
2283
2284
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2285
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2286
2287
TESTING:
2288
2289
* Tests may now raise TestNotApplicable to indicate they shouldn't be
2290
run in a particular scenario. (Martin Pool)
2291
2292
* New function multiply_tests_from_modules to give a simpler interface
2293
to test parameterization. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
2294
2295
* ``Transport.should_cache`` has been removed. It was not called in the
2296
previous release. (Martin Pool)
2297
2298
* NULL_REVISION is returned to indicate the null revision, not None.
2299
(Aaron Bentley)
2300
2301
* Use UTF-8 encoded StringIO for log tests to avoid failures on
2302
non-ASCII committer names. (Lukáš Lalinský)
2303
2304
INTERNALS:
2305
2306
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been deprecated in favour of
2307
``bzrlib.plugin.plugins()`` which returns PlugIn objects that provide
2308
useful functionality for determining the path of a plugin, its tests, and
2309
its version information. (Robert Collins)
2310
2311
* Add the option user_encoding to the function 'show_diff_trees()'
2312
in order to move the user encoding at the UI level. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2313
2314
* Add the function make_commit_message_template_encoded() and the function
2315
edit_commit_message_encoded() which handle encoded strings.
2316
This is done in order to mix the commit messages (which is a unicode
2317
string), and the diff which is a raw string. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
2318
2319
* CommitBuilder now defaults to using add_lines_with_ghosts, reducing
2320
overhead on non-weave repositories which don't require all parents to be
2321
present. (Robert Collins)
2322
2323
* Deprecated method ``find_previous_heads`` on
2324
``bzrlib.inventory.InventoryEntry``. This has been superseded by the use
2325
of ``parent_candidates`` and a separate heads check via the repository
2326
API. (Robert Collins)
2327
2328
* New trace function ``mutter_callsite`` will print out a subset of the
2329
stack to the log, which can be useful for gathering debug details.
2330
(Robert Collins)
2331
2332
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now tracks how many records have been
2333
added via a public attribute records_written. (Robert Collins)
2334
2335
* New method ``bzrlib.transport.Transport.get_recommended_page_size``.
2336
This provides a hint to users of transports as to the reasonable
2337
minimum data to read. In principle this can take latency and
2338
bandwidth into account on a per-connection basis, but for now it
2339
just has hard coded values based on the url. (e.g. http:// has a large
2340
page size, file:// has a small one.) (Robert Collins)
2341
2342
* New method on ``bzrlib.transport.Transport`` ``open_write_stream`` allows
2343
incremental addition of data to a file without requiring that all the
2344
data be buffered in memory. (Robert Collins)
2345
2346
* New methods on ``bzrlib.knit.KnitVersionedFile``:
2347
``get_data_stream(versions)``, ``insert_data_stream(stream)`` and
2348
``get_format_signature()``. These provide some infrastructure for
2349
efficiently streaming the knit data for a set of versions over the smart
2350
protocol.
2351
2352
* Knits with no annotation cache still produce correct annotations.
2353
(Aaron Bentley)
2354
2355
* Three new methods have been added to ``bzrlib.trace``:
2356
``set_verbosity_level``, ``get_verbosity_level`` and ``is_verbose``.
2357
``set_verbosity_level`` expects a numeric value: negative for quiet,
2358
zero for normal, positive for verbose. The size of the number can be
2359
used to determine just how quiet or verbose the application should be.
2360
The existing ``be_quiet`` and ``is_quiet`` routines have been
2361
integrated into this new scheme. (Ian Clatworthy)
2362
2363
* Options can now be delcared with a ``custom_callback`` parameter. If
2364
set, this routine is called after the option is processed. This feature
2365
is now used by the standard options ``verbose`` and ``quiet`` so that
2366
setting one implicitly resets the other. (Ian Clatworthy)
2367
2368
* Rather than declaring a new option from scratch in order to provide
2369
custom help, a centrally registered option can be decorated using the
2370
new ``bzrlib.Option.custom_help`` routine. In particular, this routine
2371
is useful when declaring better help for the ``verbose`` and ``quiet``
2372
standard options as the base definition of these is now more complex
2373
than before thanks to their use of a custom callback. (Ian Clatworthy)
2374
2375
* Tree._iter_changes(specific_file=[]) now iterates through no files,
2376
instead of iterating through all files. None is used to iterate through
2377
all files. (Aaron Bentley)
2378
2379
* WorkingTree.revert() now accepts None to revert all files. The use of
2380
[] to revert all files is deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

2384
-------------------
2385
2386
IMPROVEMENTS:
2387
2388
* Documentation is now organized into multiple directories with a level
2389
added for different languages or locales. Added the Mini Tutorial
2390
and Quick Start Summary (en) documents from the Wiki, improving the
2391
content and readability of the former. Formatted NEWS as Release Notes
2392
complete with a Table of Conents, one heading per release. Moved the
2393
Developer Guide into the main document catalog and provided a link
2394
from the developer document catalog back to the main one.

2398
API CHANGES:
2399
2400
* The static convenience method ``BzrDir.create_repository``
2401
is deprecated. Callers should instead create a ``BzrDir`` instance
2402
and call ``create_repository`` on that. (Martin Pool)
2403
2404
2405
bzr 0.90rc1 2007-08-14
2406
----------------------
2407
2408
BUGFIXES:
2409
2410
* ``bzr init`` should connect to the remote location one time only. We
2411
have been connecting several times because we forget to pass around the
2412
Transport object. This modifies ``BzrDir.create_branch_convenience``,
2413
so that we can give it the Transport we already have.
2414
(John Arbash Meinel, Vincent Ladeuil, #111702)
2415
2416
* Get rid of sftp connection cache (get rid of the FTP one too).
2417
(Vincent Ladeuil, #43731)
2418
2419
* bzr branch {local|remote} remote don't try to create a working tree
2420
anymore.
2421
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112173)
2422
2423
* All identified multiple connections for a single bzr command have been
2424
fixed. See bzrlib/tests/commands directory.
2425
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2426
2427
* ``bzr rm`` now does not insist on ``--force`` to delete files that
2428
have been renamed but not otherwise modified. (Marius Kruger,
2429
#111664)
2430
2431
* ``bzr selftest --bench`` no longer emits deprecation warnings
2432
(Lukáš Lalinský)
2433
2434
* ``bzr status`` now honours FILE parameters for conflict lists
2435
(Aaron Bentley, #127606)
2436
2437
* ``bzr checkout`` now honours -r when reconstituting a working tree.
2438
It also honours -r 0. (Aaron Bentley, #127708)
2439
2440
* ``bzr add *`` no more fails on Windows if working tree contains
2441
non-ascii file names. (Kuno Meyer, #127361)
2442
2443
* allow ``easy_install bzr`` runs without fatal errors.
2444
(Alexander Belchenko, #125521)
2445
2446
* Graph._filter_candidate_lca does not raise KeyError if a candidate
2447
is eliminated just before it would normally be examined. (Aaron Bentley)
2448
2449
* SMTP connection failures produce a nice message, not a traceback.
2450
(Aaron Bentley)
2451
2452
IMPROVEMENTS:
2453
2454
* Don't show "dots" progress indicators when run non-interactively, such
2455
as from cron. (Martin Pool)
2456
2457
* ``info`` now formats locations more nicely and lists "submit" and
2458
"public" branches (Aaron Bentley)
2459
2460
* New ``pack`` command that will trigger database compression within
2461
the repository (Robert Collins)
2462
2463
* Implement ``_KnitIndex._load_data`` in a pyrex extension. The pyrex
2464
version is approximately 2-3x faster at parsing a ``.kndx`` file.
2465
Which yields a measurable improvement for commands which have to
2466
read from the repository, such as a 1s => 0.75s improvement in
2467
``bzr diff`` when there are changes to be shown. (John Arbash Meinel)
2468
2469
* Merge is now faster. Depending on the scenario, it can be more than 2x
2470
faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2471
2472
* Give a clearer warning, and allow ``python setup.py install`` to
2473
succeed even if pyrex is not available.
2474
(John Arbash Meinel)
2475
2476
* ``DirState._read_dirblocks`` now has an optional Pyrex
2477
implementation. This improves the speed of any command that has to
2478
read the entire DirState. (``diff``, ``status``, etc, improve by
2479
about 10%).
2480
``bisect_dirblocks`` has also been improved, which helps all
2481
``_get_entry`` type calls (whenever we are searching for a
2482
particular entry in the in-memory DirState).
2483
(John Arbash Meinel)
2484
2485
* ``bzr pull`` and ``bzr push`` no longer do a complete walk of the
2486
branch revision history for ui display unless -v is supplied.
2487
(Robert Collins)
2488
2489
* ``bzr log -rA..B`` output shifted to the left margin if the log only
2490
contains merge revisions. (Kent Gibson)
2491
2492
* The ``plugins`` command is now public with improved help.
2493
(Ian Clatworthy)
2494
2495
* New bundle and merge directive formats are faster to generate, and
2496
2497
* Annotate merge now works when there are local changes. (Aaron Bentley)
2498
2499
* Commit now only shows the progress in terms of directories instead of
2500
entries. (Ian Clatworthy)
2501
2502
* Fix ``KnitRepository.get_revision_graph`` to not request the graph 2
2503
times. This makes ``get_revision_graph`` 2x faster. (John Arbash
2504
Meinel)
2505
2506
* Fix ``VersionedFile.get_graph()`` to avoid using
2507
``set.difference_update(other)``, which has bad scaling when
2508
``other`` is large. This improves ``VF.get_graph([version_id])`` for
2509
a 12.5k graph from 2.9s down to 200ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
2510
2511
* The ``--lsprof-file`` option now generates output for KCacheGrind if
2512
the file starts with ``callgrind.out``. This matches the default file
2513
filtering done by KCacheGrind's Open Dialog. (Ian Clatworthy)
2514
2515
* Fix ``bzr update`` to avoid an unnecessary
2516
``branch.get_master_branch`` call, which avoids 1 extra connection
2517
to the remote server. (Partial fix for #128076, John Arbash Meinel)
2518
2519
* Log errors from the smart server in the trace file, to make debugging
2520
test failures (and live failures!) easier. (Andrew Bennetts)
2521
2522
* The HTML version of the man page has been superceded by a more
2523
comprehensive manual called the Bazaar User Reference. This manual
2524
is completed generated from the online help topics. As part of this
2525
change, limited reStructuredText is now explicitly supported in help
2526
topics and command help with 'unnatural' markup being removed prior
2527
to display by the online help or inclusion in the man page.
2528
(Ian Clatworthy)
2529
2530
* HTML documentation now use files extension ``*.html``
2531
(Alexander Belchenko)
2532
2533
* The cache of ignore definitions is now cleared in WorkingTree.unlock()
2534
so that changes to .bzrignore aren't missed. (#129694, Daniel Watkins)
2535
2536
* ``bzr selftest --strict`` fails if there are any missing features or
2537
expected test failures. (Daniel Watkins, #111914)
2538
2539
* Link to registration survey added to README. (Ian Clatworthy)
2540
2541
* Windows standalone installer show link to registration survey
2542
when installation finished. (Alexander Belchenko)
2543
2544
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
2545
2546
* Deprecated dictionary ``bzrlib.option.SHORT_OPTIONS`` removed.
2547
Options are now required to provide a help string and it must
2548
comply with the style guide by being one or more sentences with an
2549
initial capital and final period. (Martin Pool)
2550
2551
* KnitIndex.get_parents now returns tuples. (Robert Collins)
2552
2553
* Ancient unused ``Repository.text_store`` attribute has been removed.
2554
(Robert Collins)
2555
2556
* The ``bzrlib.pack`` interface has changed to use tuples of bytestrings
2557
rather than just bytestrings, making it easier to represent multiple
2558
element names. As this interface was not used by any internal facilities
2559
since it was introduced in 0.18 no API compatibility is being preserved.
2560
The serialised form of these packs is identical with 0.18 when a single
2561
element tuple is in use. (Robert Collins)
2562
2563
INTERNALS:
2564
2565
* merge now uses ``iter_changes`` to calculate changes, which makes room for
2566
future performance increases. It is also more consistent with other
2567
operations that perform comparisons, and reduces reliance on
2568
Tree.inventory. (Aaron Bentley)
2569
2570
* Refactoring of transport classes connected to a remote server.
2571
ConnectedTransport is a new class that serves as a basis for all
2572
transports needing to connect to a remote server. transport.split_url
2573
have been deprecated, use the static method on the object instead. URL
2574
tests have been refactored too.
2575
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2576
2577
* Better connection sharing for ConnectedTransport objects.
2578
transport.get_transport() now accepts a 'possible_transports' parameter.
2579
If a newly requested transport can share a connection with one of the
2580
list, it will.
2581
(Vincent Ladeuil)
2582
2583
* Most functions now accept ``bzrlib.revision.NULL_REVISION`` to indicate
2584
the null revision, and consider using ``None`` for this purpose
2585
deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)
2586
2587
* New ``index`` module with abstract index functionality. This will be
2588
used during the planned changes in the repository layer. Currently the
2589
index layer provides a graph aware immutable index, a builder for the
2590
same index type to allow creating them, and finally a composer for
2591
such indices to allow the use of many indices in a single query. The
2592
index performance is not optimised, however the API is stable to allow
2593
development on top of the index. (Robert Collins)
2594
2595
* ``bzrlib.dirstate.cmp_by_dirs`` can be used to compare two paths by
2596
their directory sections. This is equivalent to comparing
2597
``path.split('/')``, only without having to split the paths.
2598
This has a Pyrex implementation available.
2599
(John Arbash Meinel)
2600
2601
* New transport decorator 'unlistable+' which disables the list_dir
2602
functionality for testing.
2603
2604
* Deprecated ``change_entry`` in transform.py. (Ian Clatworthy)
2605
2606
* RevisionTree.get_weave is now deprecated. Tree.plan_merge is now used
2607
for performing annotate-merge. (Aaron Bentley)
2608
2609
* New EmailMessage class to create email messages. (Adeodato Simó)
2610
2611
* Unused functions on the private interface KnitIndex have been removed.
2612
(Robert Collins)
2613
2614
* New ``knit.KnitGraphIndex`` which provides a ``KnitIndex`` layered on top
2615
of a ``index.GraphIndex``. (Robert Collins)
2616
2617
* New ``knit.KnitVersionedFile.iter_parents`` method that allows querying
2618
the parents of many knit nodes at once, reducing round trips to the
2619
underlying index. (Robert Collins)
2620
2621
* Graph now has an is_ancestor method, various bits use it.
2622
(Aaron Bentley)
2623
2624
* The ``-Dhpss`` flag now includes timing information. As well as
2625
logging when a new connection is opened. (John Arbash Meinel)
2626
2627
* ``bzrlib.pack.ContainerWriter`` now returns an offset, length tuple to
2628
callers when inserting data, allowing generation of readv style access
2629
during pack creation, without needing a separate pass across the output
2630
pack to gather such details. (Robert Collins)
2631
2632
* ``bzrlib.pack.make_readv_reader`` allows readv based access to pack
2633
files that are stored on a transport. (Robert Collins)
2634
2635
* New ``Repository.has_same_location`` method that reports if two
2636
repository objects refer to the same repository (although with some risk
2637
of false negatives). (Andrew Bennetts)
2638
2639
* InterTree.compare now passes require_versioned on correctly.
2640
(Marius Kruger)
2641
2642
* New methods on Repository - ``start_write_group``,
2643
``commit_write_group``, ``abort_write_group`` and ``is_in_write_group`` -
2644
which provide a clean hook point for transactional Repositories - ones
2645
where all the data for a fetch or commit needs to be made atomically
2646
available in one step. This allows the write lock to remain while making
2647
a series of data insertions. (e.g. data conversion). (Robert Collins)
2648
2649
* In ``bzrlib.knit`` the internal interface has been altered to use
2650
3-tuples (index, pos, length) rather than two-tuples (pos, length) to
2651
describe where data in a knit is, allowing knits to be split into
2652
many files. (Robert Collins)
2653
2654
* ``bzrlib.knit._KnitData`` split into cache management and physical access
2655
with two access classes - ``_PackAccess`` and ``_KnitAccess`` defined.
2656
The former provides access into a .pack file, and the latter provides the
2657
current production repository form of .knit files. (Robert Collins)
2658
2659
TESTING:
2660
2661
* Remove selftest ``--clean-output``, ``--numbered-dirs`` and
2662
``--keep-output`` options, which are obsolete now that tests
2663
are done within directories in $TMPDIR. (Martin Pool)
2664
2665
* The SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable is now reset to avoid
2666
interaction with any running ssh agents. (Jelmer Vernooij, #125955)
2667
2668
* run_bzr_subprocess handles parameters the same way as run_bzr:
2669
either a string or a list of strings should be passed as the first
2670
parameter. Varargs-style parameters are deprecated. (Aaron Bentley)

BUGFIXES:
2685
2686
* Do not suppress pipe errors, etc. in non-display commands
2687
(Alexander Belchenko, #87178)
2688
2689
* Display a useful error message when the user requests to annotate
2690
a file that is not present in the specified revision.
2691
(James Westby, #122656)
2692
2693
* Commands that use status flags now have a reference to 'help
2694
status-flags'. (Daniel Watkins, #113436)
2695
2696
* Work around python-2.4.1 inhability to correctly parse the
2697
authentication header.
2698
(Vincent Ladeuil, #121889)
2699
2700
* Use exact encoding for merge directives. (Adeodato Simó, #120591)
2701
2702
* Fix tempfile permissions error in smart server tar bundling under
2703
Windows. (Martin _, #119330)
2704
2705
* Fix detection of directory entries in the inventory. (James Westby)
2706
2707
* Fix handling of http code 400: Bad Request When issuing too many ranges.
2708
(Vincent Ladeuil, #115209)
2709
2710
* Issue a CONNECT request when connecting to an https server
2711
via a proxy to enable SSL tunneling.
2712
(Vincent Ladeuil, #120678)
2713
2714
* Fix ``bzr log -r`` to support selecting merge revisions, both
2715
individually and as part of revision ranges.
2716
(Kent Gibson, #4663)
2717
2718
* Don't leave cruft behind when failing to acquire a lockdir.
2719
(Martin Pool, #109169)
2720
2721
* Don't use the '-f' strace option during tests.
2722
(Vincent Ladeuil, #102019).
2723
2724
* Warn when setting ``push_location`` to a value that will be masked by
2725
locations.conf. (Aaron Bentley, #122286)
2726
2727
* Fix commit ordering in corner case (Aaron Bentley, #94975)
2728
2729
* Make annotate behave in a non-ASCII world (Adeodato Simó).
2730
2731
IMPROVEMENTS:
2732
2733
* The --lsprof-file option now dumps a text rendering of the profiling
2734
information if the filename ends in ".txt". It will also convert the
2735
profiling information to a format suitable for KCacheGrind if the
2736
output filename ends in ".callgrind". Fixes to the lsprofcalltree
2737
conversion process by Jean Paul Calderone and Itamar were also merged.
2738
See http://ddaa.net/blog/python/lsprof-calltree. (Ian Clatworthy)
2739
2740
* ``info`` now defaults to non-verbose mode, displaying only paths and
2741
abbreviated format info. ``info -v`` displays all the information
2742
formerly displayed by ``info``. (Aaron Bentley, Adeodato Simó)
2743
2744
* ``bzr missing`` now has better option names ``--this`` and ``--other``.
2745
(Elliot Murphy)
2746
2747
* The internal ``weave-list`` command has become ``versionedfile-list``,
2748
and now lists knits as well as weaves. (Aaron Bentley)
2749
2750
* Automatic merge base selection uses a faster algorithm that chooses
2751
better bases in criss-cross merge situations (Aaron Bentley)
2752
2753
* Progress reporting in ``commit`` has been improved. The various logical
2754
stages are now reported on as follows, namely:
2755
2756
* Collecting changes [Entry x/y] - Stage n/m
2757
* Saving data locally - Stage n/m
2758
* Uploading data to master branch - Stage n/m
2759
* Updating the working tree - Stage n/m
2760
* Running post commit hooks - Stage n/m
2761
2762
If there is no master branch, the 3rd stage is omitted and the total
2763
number of stages is adjusted accordingly.
2764
2765
Each hook that is run after commit is listed with a name (as hooks
2766
can be slow it is useful feedback).
2767
(Ian Clatworthy, Robert Collins)
2768
2769
* Various operations that are now faster due to avoiding unnecessary
2770
topological sorts. (Aaron Bentley)
2771
2772
* Make merge directives robust against broken bundles. (Aaron Bentley)
2773
2774
* The lsprof filename note is emitted via trace.note(), not standard
2775
output. (Aaron Bentley)
2776
2777
* ``bzrlib`` now exports explicit API compatibility information to assist
2778
library users and plugins. See the ``bzrlib.api`` module for details.
2779
(Robert Collins)
2780
2781
* Remove unnecessary lock probes when acquiring a lockdir.
2782
(Martin Pool)
2783
2784
* ``bzr --version`` now shows the location of the bzr log file, which
2785
is especially useful on Windows. (Martin Pool)
2786
2787
* -D now supports hooks to get debug tracing of hooks (though its currently
2788
minimal in nature). (Robert Collins)
2789
2790
* Long log format reports deltas on merge revisions.
2791
(John Arbash Meinel, Kent Gibson)
2792
2793
* Make initial push over ftp more resilient. (John Arbash Meinel)
2794
2795
* Print a summary of changes for update just like pull does.
2796
(Daniel Watkins, #113990)
2797
2798
* Add a -Dhpss option to trace smart protocol requests and responses.
2799
(Andrew Bennetts)
2800
2801
LIBRARY API BREAKS:
2802
2803
* Testing cleanups -
2804
``bzrlib.repository.RepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
2805
to ``bzrlib.tests.repository_implementations``;
2806
``bzrlib.repository.InterRepositoryTestProviderAdapter`` has been moved
2807
to ``bzrlib.tests.interrepository_implementations``;
2808
``bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2809
``bzrlib.tests.test_transport_implementations``.
2810
``bzrlib.branch.BranchTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2811
``bzrlib.tests.branch_implementations``.
2812
``bzrlib.bzrdir.BzrDirTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2813
``bzrlib.tests.bzrdir_implementations``.
2814
``bzrlib.versionedfile.InterVersionedFileTestProviderAdapter`` has moved
2815
to ``bzrlib.tests.interversionedfile_implementations``.
2816
``bzrlib.store.revision.RevisionStoreTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2817
``bzrlib.tests.revisionstore_implementations``.
2818
``bzrlib.workingtree.WorkingTreeTestProviderAdapter`` has moved to
2819
``bzrlib.tests.workingtree_implementations``.
2820
These changes are an API break in the testing infrastructure only.
2821
(Robert Collins)
2822
2823
* Relocate TestCaseWithRepository to be more central. (Robert Collins)
2824
2825
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` will no longer perform glob expansion on
2826
win32. Callers of the function should do this and use the new
2827
``MutableTree.smart_add`` method instead. (Robert Collins)
2828
2829
* ``bzrlib.add.glob_expand_for_win32`` is now
2830
``bzrlib.win32utils.glob_expand``. (Robert Collins)
2831
2832
* ``bzrlib.add.FastPath`` is now private and moved to
2833
``bzrlib.mutabletree._FastPath``. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
2834
2835
* ``LockDir.wait`` removed. (Martin Pool)
2836
2837
* The ``SmartServer`` hooks API has changed for the ``server_started`` and
2838
``server_stopped`` hooks. The first parameter is now an iterable of
2839
backing URLs rather than a single URL. This is to reflect that many
2840
URLs may map to the external URL of the server. E.g. the server interally
2841
may have a chrooted URL but also the local file:// URL will be at the
2842
same location. (Robert Collins)
2843
2844
INTERNALS:
2845
2846
* New SMTPConnection class to unify email handling. (Adeodato Simó)
2847
2848
* Fix documentation of BzrError. (Adeodato Simó)
2849
2850
* Make BzrBadParameter an internal error. (Adeodato Simó)
2851
2852
* Remove use of 'assert False' to raise an exception unconditionally.
2853
(Martin Pool)
2854
2855
* Give a cleaner error when failing to decode knit index entry.
2856
(Martin Pool)
2857
2858
* TreeConfig would mistakenly search the top level when asked for options
2859
from a section. It now respects the section argument and only
2860
searches the specified section. (James Westby)
2861
2862
* Improve ``make api-docs`` output. (John Arbash Meinel)
2863
2864
* Use os.lstat rather than os.stat for osutils.make_readonly and
2865
osutils.make_writeable. This makes the difftools plugin more
2866
robust when dangling symlinks are found. (Elliot Murphy)
2867
2868
* New ``-Dlock`` option to log (to ~/.bzr.log) information on when
2869
lockdirs are taken or released. (Martin Pool)
2870
2871
* ``bzrlib`` Hooks are now nameable using ``Hooks.name_hook``. This
2872
allows a nicer UI when hooks are running as the current hook can
2873
be displayed. (Robert Collins)
2874
2875
* ``Transport.get`` has had its interface made more clear for ease of use.
2876
Retrieval of a directory must now fail with either 'PathError' at open
2877
time, or raise 'ReadError' on a read. (Robert Collins)
2878
2879
* New method ``_maybe_expand_globs`` on the ``Command`` class for
2880
dealing with unexpanded glob lists - e.g. on the win32 platform. This
2881
was moved from ``bzrlib.add._prepare_file_list``. (Robert Collins)
2882
2883
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add`` and ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_tree`` are now
2884
deprecated in favour of ``MutableTree.smart_add``. (Robert Collins,
2885
Martin Pool)
2886
2887
* New method ``external_url`` on Transport for obtaining the url to
2888
hand to external processes. (Robert Collins)
2889
2890
* Teach windows installers to build pyrex/C extensions.
2891
(Alexander Belchenko)
2892
2893
TESTING:
2894
2895
* Removed the ``--keep-output`` option from selftest and clean up test
2896
directories as they're used. This reduces the IO load from
2897
running the test suite and cuts the time by about half.
2898
(Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
2899
2900
* Add scenarios as a public attribute on the TestAdapter classes to allow
2901
modification of the generated scenarios before adaption and easier
2902
testing. (Robert Collins)
2903
2904
* New testing support class ``TestScenarioApplier`` which multiplies
2905
out a single teste by a list of supplied scenarios. (RobertCollins)
2906
2907
* Setting ``repository_to_test_repository`` on a repository_implementations
2908
test will cause it to be called during repository creation, allowing the
2909
testing of repository classes which are not based around the Format
2910
concept. For example a repository adapter can be tested in this manner,
2911
by altering the repository scenarios to include a scenario that sets this
2912
attribute during the test parameterisation in
2913
``bzrlib.tests.repository.repository_implementations``. (Robert Collins)
2914
2915
* Clean up many of the APIs for blackbox testing of Bazaar. The standard
2916
interface is now self.run_bzr. The command to run can be passed as
2917
either a list of parameters, a string containing the command line, or
2918
(deprecated) varargs parameters. (Martin Pool)
2919
2920
* The base TestCase now isolates tests from -D parameters by clearing
2921
``debug.debug_flags`` and restores it afterwards. (Robert Collins)
2922
2923
* Add a relpath parameter to get_transport methods in test framework to
2924
avoid useless cloning.

2943
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
2944
2945
* The kind() and is_executable() APIs on the WorkingTree interface no
2946
longer implicitly (read) locks and unlocks the tree. This *might*
2947
impact some plug-ins and tools using this part of the API. If you find
2948
an issue that may be caused by this change, please let us know,
2949
particularly the plug-in/tool maintainer. If encountered, the API
2950
fix is to surround kind() and is_executable() calls with lock_read()
2951
and unlock() like so::
2952
2953
work_tree.lock_read()
2954
try:
2955
kind = work_tree.kind(...)
2956
finally:
2957
work_tree.unlock()
2958
2959
INTERNALS:
2960
* Rework of LogFormatter API to provide beginning/end of log hooks and to
2961
encapsulate the details of the revision to be logged in a LogRevision
2962
object.
2963
In long log formats, merge revision ids are only shown when --show-ids
2964
is specified, and are labelled "revision-id:", as per mainline
2965
revisions, instead of "merged:". (Kent Gibson)
2966
2967
* New ``BranchBuilder`` API which allows the construction of particular
2968
histories quickly. Useful for testing and potentially other applications
2969
too. (Robert Collins)
2970
2971
IMPROVEMENTS:
2972
2973
* There are two new help topics, working-trees and repositories that
2974
attempt to explain these concepts. (James Westby, John Arbash Meinel,
2975
Aaron Bentley)
2976
2977
* Added ``bzr log --limit`` to report a limited number of revisions.
2978
(Kent Gibson, #3659)
2979
2980
* Revert does not try to preserve file contents that were originally
2981
produced by reverting to a historical revision. (Aaron Bentley)
2982
2983
* ``bzr log --short`` now includes ``[merge]`` for revisions which
2984
have more than one parent. This is a small improvement to help
2985
understanding what changes have occurred
2986
(John Arbash Meinel, #83887)
2987
2988
* TreeTransform avoids many renames when contructing large trees,
2989
improving speed. 3.25x speedups have been observed for construction of
2990
kernel-sized-trees, and checkouts are 1.28x faster. (Aaron Bentley)
2991
2992
* Commit on large trees is now faster. In my environment, a commit of
2993
a small change to the Mozilla tree (55k files) has dropped from
2994
66 seconds to 32 seconds. For a small tree of 600 files, commit of a
2995
small change is 33% faster. (Ian Clatworthy)
2996
2997
* New --create-prefix option to bzr init, like for push. (Daniel Watkins,
2998
#56322)
2999
3000
BUGFIXES:
3001
3002
* ``bzr push`` should only connect to the remote location one time.
3003
We have been connecting 3 times because we forget to pass around
3004
the Transport object. This adds ``BzrDir.clone_on_transport()``, so
3005
that we can pass in the Transport that we already have.
3006
(John Arbash Meinel, #75721)
3007
3008
* ``DirState.set_state_from_inventory()`` needs to properly order
3009
based on split paths, not just string paths.
3010
(John Arbash Meinel, #115947)
3011
3012
* Let TestUIFactoy encode the password prompt with its own stdout.
3013
(Vincent Ladeuil, #110204)
3014
3015
* pycurl should take use the range header that takes the range hint
3016
into account.
3017
(Vincent Ladeuil, #112719)
3018
3019
* WorkingTree4.get_file_sha1 no longer raises an exception when invoked
3020
on a missing file. (Aaron Bentley, #118186)
3021
3022
* WorkingTree.remove works correctly with tree references, and when pwd is
3023
not the tree root. (Aaron Bentley)
3024
3025
* Merge no longer fails when a file is renamed in one tree and deleted
3026
in the other. (Aaron Bentley, #110279)
3027
3028
* ``revision-info`` now accepts dotted revnos, doesn't require a tree,
3029
and defaults to the last revision (Matthew Fuller, #90048)
3030
3031
* Tests no longer fail when BZR_REMOTE_PATH is set in the environment.
3032
(Daniel Watkins, #111958)
3033
3034
* ``bzr branch -r revid:foo`` can be used to branch any revision in
3035
your repository. (Previously Branch6 only supported revisions in your
3036
mainline). (John Arbash Meinel, #115343)

3039
--------------------
3040
3041
BUGFIXES:
3042
3043
* Handle when you have 2 directories with similar names, but one has a
3044
hyphen. (``'abc'`` versus ``'abc-2'``). The WT4._iter_changes
3045
iterator was using direct comparison and ``'abc/a'`` sorts after
3046
``'abc-2'``, but ``('abc', 'a')`` sorts before ``('abc-2',)``.
3047
(John Arbash Meinel, #111227)
3048
3049
* Handle when someone renames a file on disk without telling bzr.
3050
Previously we would report the first file as missing, but not show
3051
the new unknown file. (John Arbash Meinel, #111288)
3052
3053
* Avoid error when running hooks after pulling into or pushing from
3054
a branch bound to a smartserver branch. (Martin Pool, #111968)
3055
3056
IMPROVEMENTS:
3057
3058
* Move developer documentation to doc/developers/. This reduces clutter in
3059
the root of the source tree and allows HACKING to be split into multiple
3060
files. (Robert Collins, Alexander Belchenko)
3061
3062
* Clean up the ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes()`` internal loops as well as
3063
``DirState.update_entry()``. This optimizes the core logic for ``bzr
3064
diff`` and ``bzr status`` significantly improving the speed of
3065
both. (John Arbash Meinel)

3068
-----------------------
3069
3070
BUGFIXES:
3071
3072
* Handle the case when you delete a file, and then rename another file
3073
on top of it. Also handle the case of ``bzr rm --keep foo``. ``bzr
3074
status`` should show the removed file and an unknown file in its
3075
place. (John Arbash Meinel, #109993)
3076
3077
* Bundles properly read and write revision properties that have an
3078
empty value. And when the value is not ASCII.
3079
(John Arbash Meinel, #109613)
3080
3081
* Fix the bzr commit message to be in text mode.
3082
(Alexander Belchenko, #110901)
3083
3084
* Also handle when you rename a file and create a file where it used
3085
to be. (John Arbash Meinel, #110256)
3086
3087
* ``WorkingTree4._iter_changes`` should not descend into unversioned
3088
directories. (John Arbash Meinel, #110399)

3091
-----------------------
3092
3093
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3094
3095
* ``bzr remove`` and ``bzr rm`` will now remove the working file, if
3096
it could be recovered again.
3097
This has been done for consistency with svn and the unix rm command.
3098
The old ``remove`` behaviour has been retained in the new option
3099
``bzr remove --keep``, which will just stop versioning the file,
3100
but not delete it.
3101
``bzr remove --force`` have been added which will always delete the
3102
files.
3103
``bzr remove`` is also more verbose.
3104
(Marius Kruger, #82602)
3105
3106
IMPROVEMENTS:
3107
3108
* Merge directives can now be supplied as input to `merge` and `pull`,
3109
like bundles can. (Aaron Bentley)
3110
3111
* Sending the SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done on Unix by
3112
pressing Control-Backslash, drops bzr into a debugger. Type ``'c'``
3113
to continue. This can be disabled by setting the environment variable
3114
``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``. (Martin Pool)
3115
3116
* selftest now supports --list-only to list tests instead of running
3117
them. (Ian Clatworthy)
3118
3119
* selftest now supports --exclude PATTERN (or -x PATTERN) to exclude
3120
tests with names that match that regular expression.
3121
(Ian Clatworthy, #102679)
3122
3123
* selftest now supports --randomize SEED to run tests in a random order.
3124
SEED is typically the value 'now' meaning 'use the current time'.
3125
(Ian Clatworthy, #102686)
3126
3127
* New option ``--fixes`` to commit, which stores bug fixing annotations as
3128
revision properties. Built-in support for Launchpad, Debian, Trac and
3129
Bugzilla bug trackers. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge, Robert Collins)
3130
3131
* New API, ``bzrlib.bugtracker.tracker_registry``, for adding support for
3132
other bug trackers to ``fixes``. (Jonathan Lange, James Henstridge,
3133
Robert Collins)
3134
3135
* ``selftest`` has new short options ``-f`` and ``-1``. (Martin
3136
Pool)
3137
3138
* ``bzrlib.tsort.MergeSorter`` optimizations. Change the inner loop
3139
into using local variables instead of going through ``self._var``.
3140
Improves the time to ``merge_sort`` a 10k revision graph by
3141
approximately 40% (~700->400ms). (John Arbash Meinel)
3142
3143
* ``make docs`` now creates a man page at ``man1/bzr.1`` fixing bug 107388.
3144
(Robert Collins)
3145
3146
* ``bzr help`` now provides cross references to other help topics using
3147
the _see_also facility on command classes. Likewise the bzr_man
3148
documentation, and the bzr.1 man page also include this information.
3149
(Robert Collins)
3150
3151
* Tags are now included in logs, that use the long log formatter.
3152
(Erik Bågfors, Alexander Belchenko)
3153
3154
* ``bzr help`` provides a clearer message when a help topic cannot be
3155
found. (Robert Collins, #107656)
3156
3157
* ``bzr help`` now accepts optional prefixes for command help. The help
3158
for all commands can now be found at ``bzr help commands/COMMANDNAME``
3159
as well as ``bzr help COMMANDNAME`` (which only works for commands
3160
where the name is not the same as a more general help topic).
3161
(Robert Collins)
3162
3163
* ``bzr help PLUGINNAME`` will now return the module docstring from the
3164
plugin PLUGINNAME. (Robert Collins, #50408)
3165
3166
* New help topic ``urlspec`` which lists the availables transports.
3167
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
3168
3169
* doc/server.txt updated to document the default bzr:// port
3170
and also update the blurb about the hpss' current status.
3171
(Robert Collins, #107125).
3172
3173
* ``bzr serve`` now listens on interface 0.0.0.0 by default, making it
3174
serve out to the local LAN (and anyone in the world that can reach the
3175
machine running ``bzr serve``. (Robert Collins, #98918)
3176
3177
* A new smart server protocol version has been added. It prefixes requests
3178
and responses with an explicit version identifier so that future protocol
3179
revisions can be dealt with gracefully. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3180
3181
* The bzr protocol version 2 indicates success or failure in every response
3182
without depending on particular commands encoding that consistently,
3183
allowing future client refactorings to be much more robust about error
3184
handling. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool, Andrew Bennetts)
3185
3186
* The smart protocol over HTTP client has been changed to always post to the
3187
same ``.bzr/smart`` URL under the original location when it can. This allows
3188
HTTP servers to only have to pass URLs ending in .bzr/smart to the smart
3189
server handler, and not arbitrary ``.bzr/*/smart`` URLs. (Andrew Bennetts)
3190
3191
* digest authentication is now supported for proxies and HTTP by the urllib
3192
based http implementation. Tested against Apache 2.0.55 and Squid
3193
2.6.5. Basic and digest authentication are handled coherently for HTTP
3194
and proxy: if the user is provided in the url (bzr command line for HTTP,
3195
proxy environment variables for proxies), the password is prompted for
3196
(only once). If the password is provided, it is taken into account. Once
3197
the first authentication is successful, all further authentication
3198
roundtrips are avoided by preventively setting the right authentication
3199
header(s).

INTERNALS:
3203
3204
* bzrlib API compatability with 0.8 has been dropped, cleaning up some
3205
code paths. (Robert Collins)
3206
3207
* Change the format of chroot urls so that they can be safely manipulated
3208
by generic url utilities without causing the resulting urls to have
3209
escaped the chroot. A side effect of this is that creating a chroot
3210
requires an explicit action using a ChrootServer.
3211
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3212
3213
* Deprecate ``Branch.get_root_id()`` because branches don't have root ids,
3214
rather than fixing bug #96847. (Aaron Bentley)
3215
3216
* ``WorkingTree.apply_inventory_delta`` provides a better alternative to
3217
``WorkingTree._write_inventory``. (Aaron Bentley)
3218
3219
* Convenience method ``TestCase.expectFailure`` ensures that known failures
3220
do not silently pass. (Aaron Bentley)
3221
3222
* ``Transport.local_abspath`` now raises ``NotLocalUrl`` rather than
3223
``TransportNotPossible``. (Martin Pool, Ian Clatworthy)
3224
3225
* New SmartServer hooks facility. There are two initial hooks documented
3226
in ``bzrlib.transport.smart.SmartServerHooks``. The two initial hooks allow
3227
plugins to execute code upon server startup and shutdown.
3228
(Robert Collins).
3229
3230
* SmartServer in standalone mode will now close its listening socket
3231
when it stops, rather than waiting for garbage collection. This primarily
3232
fixes test suite hangs when a test tries to connect to a shutdown server.
3233
It may also help improve behaviour when dealing with a server running
3234
on a specific port (rather than dynamically assigned ports).
3235
(Robert Collins)
3236
3237
* Move most SmartServer code into a new package, bzrlib/smart.
3238
bzrlib/transport/remote.py contains just the Transport classes that used
3239
to be in bzrlib/transport/smart.py. (Andrew Bennetts)
3240
3241
* urllib http implementation avoid roundtrips associated with
3242
401 (and 407) errors once the authentication succeeds.
3243
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3244
3245
* urlib http now supports querying the user for a proxy password if
3246
needed. Realm is shown in the prompt for both HTTP and proxy
3247
authentication when the user is required to type a password.
3248
(Vincent Ladeuil).
3249
3250
* Renamed SmartTransport (and subclasses like SmartTCPTransport) to
3251
RemoteTransport (and subclasses to RemoteTCPTransport, etc). This is more
3252
consistent with its new home in ``bzrlib/transport/remote.py``, and because
3253
it's not really a "smart" transport, just one that does file operations
3254
via remote procedure calls. (Andrew Bennetts)
3255
3256
* The ``lock_write`` method of ``LockableFiles``, ``Repository`` and
3257
``Branch`` now accept a ``token`` keyword argument, so that separate
3258
instances of those objects can share a lock if it has the right token.
3259
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
3260
3261
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on ``BzrDir`` allows the detection of
3262
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3263
3264
* The Repository API ``make_working_trees`` is now permitted to return
3265
False when ``set_make_working_trees`` is not implemented - previously
3266
an unimplemented ``set_make_working_trees`` implied the result True
3267
from ``make_working_trees``. This has been changed to accomodate the
3268
smart server, where it does not make sense (at this point) to ever
3269
make working trees by default. (Robert Collins)
3270
3271
* Command objects can now declare related help topics by having _see_also
3272
set to a list of related topic. (Robert Collins)
3273
3274
* ``bzrlib.help`` now delegates to the Command class for Command specific
3275
help. (Robert Collins)
3276
3277
* New class ``TransportListRegistry``, derived from the Registry class, which
3278
simplifies tracking the available Transports. (Goffredo Baroncelli)
3279
3280
* New function ``Branch.get_revision_id_to_revno_map`` which will
3281
return a dictionary mapping revision ids to dotted revnos. Since
3282
dotted revnos are defined in the context of the branch tip, it makes
3283
sense to generate them from a ``Branch`` object.
3284
(John Arbash Meinel)
3285
3286
* Fix the 'Unprintable error' message display to use the repr of the
3287
exception that prevented printing the error because the str value
3288
for it is often not useful in debugging (e.g. KeyError('foo') has a
3289
str() of 'foo' but a repr of 'KeyError('foo')' which is much more
3290
useful. (Robert Collins)
3291
3292
* ``urlutils.normalize_url`` now unescapes unreserved characters, such as "~".
3293
(Andrew Bennetts)
3294
3295
BUGFIXES:
3296
3297
* Don't fail bundle selftest if email has 'two' embedded.
3298
(Ian Clatworthy, #98510)
3299
3300
* Remove ``--verbose`` from ``bzr bundle``. It didn't work anyway.
3301
(Robert Widhopf-Fenk, #98591)
3302
3303
* Remove ``--basis`` from the checkout/branch commands - it didn't work
3304
properly and is no longer beneficial.
3305
(Robert Collins, #53675, #43486)
3306
3307
* Don't produce encoding error when adding duplicate files.
3308
(Aaron Bentley)
3309
3310
* Fix ``bzr log <file>`` so it only logs the revisions that changed
3311
the file, and does it faster.
3312
(Kent Gibson, John Arbash Meinel, #51980, #69477)
3313
3314
* Fix ``InterDirstateTre._iter_changes`` to handle when we come across
3315
an empty versioned directory, which now has files in it.
3316
(John Arbash Meinel, #104257)
3317
3318
* Teach ``common_ancestor`` to shortcut when the tip of one branch is
3319
inside the ancestry of the other. Saves a lot of graph processing
3320
(with an ancestry of 16k revisions, ``bzr merge ../already-merged``
3321
changes from 2m10s to 13s). (John Arbash Meinel, #103757)
3322
3323
* Fix ``show_diff_trees`` to handle the case when a file is modified,
3324
and the containing directory is renamed. (The file path is different
3325
in this versus base, but it isn't marked as a rename).
3326
(John Arbash Meinel, #103870)
3327
3328
* FTP now works even when the FTP server does not support atomic rename.
3329
(Aaron Bentley, #89436)
3330
3331
* Correct handling in bundles and merge directives of timezones with
3332
that are not an integer number of hours offset from UTC. Always
3333
represent the epoch time in UTC to avoid problems with formatting
3334
earlier times on win32. (Martin Pool, Alexander Belchenko, John
3335
Arbash Meinel)
3336
3337
* Typo in the help for ``register-branch`` fixed. (Robert Collins, #96770)
3338
3339
* "dirstate" and "dirstate-tags" formats now produce branches compatible
3340
with old versions of bzr. (Aaron Bentley, #107168))
3341
3342
* Handle moving a directory when children have been added, removed,
3343
and renamed. (John Arbash Meinel, #105479)
3344
3345
* Don't preventively use basic authentication for proxy before receiving a
3346
407 error. Otherwise people willing to use other authentication schemes
3347
may expose their password in the clear (or nearly). This add one
3348
roundtrip in case basic authentication should be used, but plug the
3349
security hole.
3350
(Vincent Ladeuil)
3351
3352
* Handle http and proxy digest authentication.
3353
(Vincent Ladeuil, #94034).
3354
3355
TESTING:
3356
3357
* Added ``bzrlib.strace.strace`` which will strace a single callable and
3358
return a StraceResult object which contains just the syscalls involved
3359
in running it. (Robert Collins)
3360
3361
* New test method ``reduceLockdirTimeout`` to drop the default (ui-centric)
3362
default time down to one suitable for tests. (Andrew Bennetts)
3363
3364
* Add new ``vfs_transport_factory`` attribute on tests which provides the
3365
common vfs backing for both the readonly and readwrite transports.
3366
This allows the RemoteObject tests to back onto local disk or memory,
3367
and use the existing ``transport_server`` attribute all tests know about
3368
to be the smart server transport. This in turn allows tests to
3369
differentiate between 'transport to access the branch', and
3370
'transport which is a VFS' - which matters in Remote* tests.
3371
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3372
3373
* The ``make_branch_and_tree`` method for tests will now create a
3374
lightweight checkout for the tree if the ``vfs_transport_factory`` is not
3375
a LocalURLServer. (Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3376
3377
* Branch implementation tests have been audited to ensure that all urls
3378
passed to Branch APIs use proper urls, except when local-disk paths
3379
are intended. This is so that tests correctly access the test transport
3380
which is often not equivalent to local disk in Remote* tests. As part
3381
of this many tests were adjusted to remove dependencies on local disk
3382
access.
3383
(Robert Collins, Andrew Bennetts)
3384
3385
* Mark bzrlib.tests and bzrlib.tests.TestUtil as providing assertFOO helper
3386
functions by adding a ``__unittest`` global attribute. (Robert Collins,
3387
Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool, Jonathan Lange)
3388
3389
* Refactored proxy and authentication handling to simplify the
3390
implementation of new auth schemes for both http and proxy.

CHANGES:
3409
3410
* A warning is now displayed when opening working trees in older
3411
formats, to encourage people to upgrade to WorkingTreeFormat4.
3412
(Martin Pool)
3413
3414
IMPROVEMENTS:
3415
3416
* HTTP redirections are now taken into account when a branch (or a
3417
bundle) is accessed for the first time. A message is issued at each
3418
redirection to inform the user. In the past, http redirections were
3419
silently followed for each request which significantly degraded the
3420
performances. The http redirections are not followed anymore by
3421
default, instead a RedirectRequested exception is raised. For bzrlib
3422
users needing to follow http redirections anyway,
3423
``bzrlib.transport.do_catching_redirections`` provide an easy transition
3424
path. (vila)
3425
3426
INTERNALS:
3427
3428
* Added ``ReadLock.temporary_write_lock()`` to allow upgrading an OS read
3429
lock to an OS write lock. Linux can do this without unlocking, Win32
3430
needs to unlock in between. (John Arbash Meinel)
3431
3432
* New parameter ``recommend_upgrade`` to ``BzrDir.open_workingtree``
3433
to silence (when false) warnings about opening old formats.
3434
(Martin Pool)
3435
3436
* Fix minor performance regression with bzr-0.15 on pre-dirstate
3437
trees. (We were reading the working inventory too many times).
3438
(John Arbash Meinel)
3439
3440
* Remove ``Branch.get_transaction()`` in favour of a simple cache of
3441
``revision_history``. Branch subclasses should override
3442
``_gen_revision_history`` rather than ``revision_history`` to make use of
3443
this cache, and call ``_clear_revision_history_cache`` and
3444
``_cache_revision_history`` at appropriate times. (Andrew Bennetts)
3445
3446
BUGFIXES:
3447
3448
* Take ``smtp_server`` from user config into account.
3449
(vila, #92195)
3450
3451
* Restore Unicode filename handling for versioned and unversioned files.
3452
(John Arbash Meinel, #92608)
3453
3454
* Don't fail during ``bzr commit`` if a file is marked removed, and
3455
the containing directory is auto-removed. (John Arbash Meinel, #93681)
3456
3457
* ``bzr status FILENAME`` failed on Windows because of an uncommon
3458
errno. (``ERROR_DIRECTORY == 267 != ENOTDIR``).
3459
(Wouter van Heyst, John Arbash Meinel, #90819)
3460
3461
* ``bzr checkout source`` should create a local branch in the same
3462
format as source. (John Arbash Meinel, #93854)
3463
3464
* ``bzr commit`` with a kind change was failing to update the
3465
last-changed-revision for directories. The
3466
InventoryDirectory._unchanged only looked at the ``parent_id`` and name,
3467
ignoring the fact that the kind could have changed, too.
3468
(John Arbash Meinel, #90111)
3469
3470
* ``bzr mv dir/subdir other`` was incorrectly updating files inside
3471
the directory. So that there was a chance it would break commit,
3472
etc. (John Arbash Meinel, #94037)
3473
3474
* Correctly handles mutiple permanent http redirections.

3478
-----------------------
3479
3480
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
3481
3482
* Release 0.15rc2 of bzr changes the ``bzr init-repo`` command to
3483
default to ``--trees`` instead of ``--no-trees``.
3484
Existing shared repositories are not affected.
3485
3486
IMPROVEMENTS:
3487
3488
* New ``merge-directive`` command to generate machine- and human-readable
3489
merge requests. (Aaron Bentley)
3490
3491
* New ``submit:`` revision specifier makes it easy to diff against the
3492
common ancestor with the submit location (Aaron Bentley)
3493
3494
* Added support for Putty's SSH implementation. (Dmitry Vasiliev)
3495
3496
* Added ``bzr status --versioned`` to report only versioned files,
3497
not unknowns. (Kent Gibson)
3498
3499
* Merge now autodetects the correct line-ending style for its conflict
3500
markers. (Aaron Bentley)
3501
3502
INTERNALS:
3503
3504
* Refactored SSH vendor registration into SSHVendorManager class.
3505
(Dmitry Vasiliev)
3506
3507
BUGFIXES:
3508
3509
* New ``--numbered-dirs`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to use
3510
numbered dirs for TestCaseInTempDir. This is default behavior
3511
on Windows. Anyone can force named dirs on Windows
3512
with ``--no-numbered-dirs``. (Alexander Belchenko)
3513
3514
* Fix ``RevisionSpec_revid`` to handle the Unicode strings passed in
3515
from the command line. (Marien Zwart, #90501)
3516
3517
* Fix ``TreeTransform._iter_changes`` when both the source and
3518
destination are missing. (Aaron Bentley, #88842)
3519
3520
* Fix commit of merges with symlinks in dirstate trees.
3521
(Marien Zwart)
3522
3523
* Switch the ``bzr init-repo`` default from --no-trees to --trees.

3527
bzr 0.15rc1 2007-03-07
3528
-----------------------
3529
3530
SURPRISES:
3531
3532
* The default disk format has changed. Please run 'bzr upgrade' in your
3533
working trees to upgrade. This new default is compatible for network
3534
operations, but not for local operations. That is, if you have two
3535
versions of bzr installed locally, after upgrading you can only use the
3536
bzr 0.15 version. This new default does not enable tags or nested-trees
3537
as they are incompatible with bzr versions before 0.15 over the network.
3538
3539
* For users of bzrlib: Two major changes have been made to the working tree
3540
api in bzrlib. The first is that many methods and attributes, including
3541
the inventory attribute, are no longer valid for use until one of
3542
``lock_read``/``lock_write``/``lock_tree_write`` has been called,
3543
and become invalid again after unlock is called. This has been done
3544
to improve performance and correctness as part of the dirstate
3545
development.
3546
(Robert Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3547
3548
* For users of bzrlib: The attribute 'tree.inventory' should be considered
3549
readonly. Previously it was possible to directly alter this attribute, or
3550
its contents, and have the tree notice this. This has been made
3551
unsupported - it may work in some tree formats, but in the newer dirstate
3552
format such actions will have no effect and will be ignored, or even
3553
cause assertions. All operations possible can still be carried out by a
3554
combination of the tree API, and the bzrlib.transform API. (Robert
3555
Collins, John A Meinel, Martin Pool, and others).
3556
3557
IMPROVEMENTS:
3558
3559
* Support for OS Windows 98. Also .bzr.log on any windows system
3560
saved in My Documents folder. (Alexander Belchenko)
3561
3562
* ``bzr mv`` enhanced to support already moved files.
3563
In the past the mv command would have failed if the source file doesn't
3564
exist. In this situation ``bzr mv`` would now detect that the file has
3565
already moved and update the repository accordingly, if the target file
3566
does exist.
3567
A new option ``--after`` has been added so that if two files already
3568
exist, you could notify Bazaar that you have moved a (versioned) file
3569
and replaced it with another. Thus in this case ``bzr move --after``
3570
will only update the Bazaar identifier.
3571
(Steffen Eichenberg, Marius Kruger)
3572
3573
* ``ls`` now works on treeless branches and remote branches.
3574
(Aaron Bentley)
3575
3576
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options.
3577
(Aaron Bentley)
3578
3579
* ``bzr pull --overwrite`` will now correctly overwrite checkouts.
3580
(Robert Collins)
3581
3582
* Files are now allowed to change kind (e.g. from file to symlink).
3583
Supported by ``commit``, ``revert`` and ``status``
3584
(Aaron Bentley)
3585
3586
* ``inventory`` and ``unknowns`` hidden in favour of ``ls``
3587
(Aaron Bentley)
3588
3589
* ``bzr help checkouts`` descibes what checkouts are and some possible
3590
uses of them. (James Westby, Aaron Bentley)
3591
3592
* A new ``-d`` option to push, pull and merge overrides the default
3593
directory. (Martin Pool)
3594
3595
* Branch format 6: smaller, and potentially faster than format 5. Supports
3596
``append_history_only`` mode, where the log view and revnos do not change,
3597
except by being added to. Stores policy settings in
3598
".bzr/branch/branch.conf".
3599
3600
* ``append_only`` branches: Format 6 branches may be configured so that log
3601
view and revnos are always consistent. Either create the branch using
3602
"bzr init --append-revisions-only" or edit the config file as descriped
3603
in docs/configuration.txt.
3604
3605
* rebind: Format 6 branches retain the last-used bind location, so if you
3606
"bzr unbind", you can "bzr bind" to bind to the previously-selected
3607
bind location.
3608
3609
* Builtin tags support, created and deleted by the ``tag`` command and
3610
stored in the branch. Tags can be accessed with the revisionspec
3611
``-rtag:``, and listed with ``bzr tags``. Tags are not versioned
3612
at present. Tags require a network incompatible upgrade. To perform this
3613
upgrade, run ``bzr upgrade --dirstate-tags`` in your branch and
3614
repositories. (Martin Pool)
3615
3616
* The ``bzr://`` transport now has a well-known port number, 4155,
3617
which it will use by default. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
3618
3619
* Bazaar now looks for user-installed plugins before looking for site-wide
3620
plugins. (Jonathan Lange)
3621
3622
* ``bzr resolve`` now detects and marks resolved text conflicts.
3623
(Aaron Bentley)
3624
3625
INTERNALS:
3626
3627
* Internally revision ids and file ids are now passed around as utf-8
3628
bytestrings, rather than treating them as Unicode strings. This has
3629
performance benefits for Knits, since we no longer need to decode the
3630
revision id for each line of content, nor for each entry in the index.
3631
This will also help with the future dirstate format.
3632
(John Arbash Meinel)
3633
3634
* Reserved ids (any revision-id ending in a colon) are rejected by
3635
versionedfiles, repositories, branches, and working trees
3636
(Aaron Bentley)
3637
3638
* Minor performance improvement by not creating a ProgressBar for
3639
every KnitIndex we create. (about 90ms for a bzr.dev tree)
3640
(John Arbash Meinel)
3641
3642
* New easier to use Branch hooks facility. There are five initial hooks,
3643
all documented in bzrlib.branch.BranchHooks.__init__ - ``'set_rh'``,
3644
``'post_push'``, ``'post_pull'``, ``'post_commit'``,
3645
``'post_uncommit'``. These hooks fire after the matching operation
3646
on a branch has taken place, and were originally added for the
3647
branchrss plugin. (Robert Collins)
3648
3649
* New method ``Branch.push()`` which should be used when pushing from a
3650
branch as it makes performance and policy decisions to match the UI
3651
level command ``push``. (Robert Collins).
3652
3653
* Add a new method ``Tree.revision_tree`` which allows access to cached
3654
trees for arbitrary revisions. This allows the in development dirstate
3655
tree format to provide access to the callers to cached copies of
3656
inventory data which are cheaper to access than inventories from the
3657
repository.
3658
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
3659
3660
* New ``Branch.last_revision_info`` method, this is being done to allow
3661
optimization of requests for both the number of revisions and the last
3662
revision of a branch with smartservers and potentially future branch
3663
formats. (Wouter van Heyst, Robert Collins)
3664
3665
* Allow ``'import bzrlib.plugins.NAME'`` to work when the plugin NAME has not
3666
yet been loaded by ``load_plugins()``. This allows plugins to depend on each
3667
other for code reuse without requiring users to perform file-renaming
3668
gymnastics. (Robert Collins)
3669
3670
* New Repository method ``'gather_stats'`` for statistic data collection.
3671
This is expected to grow to cover a number of related uses mainly
3672
related to bzr info. (Robert Collins)
3673
3674
* Log formatters are now managed with a registry.
3675
``log.register_formatter`` continues to work, but callers accessing
3676
the FORMATTERS dictionary directly will not.
3677
3678
* Allow a start message to be passed to the ``edit_commit_message``
3679
function. This will be placed in the message offered to the user
3680
for editing above the separator. It allows a template commit message
3681
to be used more easily. (James Westby)
3682
3683
* ``GPGStrategy.sign()`` will now raise ``BzrBadParameterUnicode`` if
3684
you pass a Unicode string rather than an 8-bit string. Callers need
3685
to be updated to encode first. (John Arbash Meinel)
3686
3687
* Branch.push, pull, merge now return Result objects with information
3688
about what happened, rather than a scattering of various methods. These
3689
are also passed to the post hooks. (Martin Pool)
3690
3691
* File formats and architecture is in place for managing a forest of trees
3692
in bzr, and splitting up existing trees into smaller subtrees, and
3693
finally joining trees to make a larger tree. This is the first iteration
3694
of this support, and the user-facing aspects still require substantial
3695
work. If you wish to experiment with it, use ``bzr upgrade
3696
--dirstate-with-subtree`` in your working trees and repositories.
3697
You can use the hidden commands ``split`` and ``join`` and to create
3698
and manipulate nested trees, but please consider using the nested-trees
3699
branch, which contains substantial UI improvements, instead.

(Aaron Bentley, Martin Pool, Robert Collins).
3702
3703
BUGFIXES:
3704
3705
* ``bzr annotate`` now uses dotted revnos from the viewpoint of the
3706
branch, rather than the last changed revision of the file.
3707
(John Arbash Meinel, #82158)
3708
3709
* Lock operations no longer hang if they encounter a permission problem.
3710
(Aaron Bentley)
3711
3712
* ``bzr push`` can resume a push that was canceled before it finished.
3713
Also, it can push even if the target directory exists if you supply
3714
the ``--use-existing-dir`` flag.
3715
(John Arbash Meinel, #30576, #45504)
3716
3717
* Fix http proxy authentication when user and an optional
3718
password appears in the ``*_proxy`` vars. (Vincent Ladeuil,
3719
#83954).
3720
3721
* ``bzr log branch/file`` works for local treeless branches
3722
(Aaron Bentley, #84247)
3723
3724
* Fix problem with UNC paths on Windows 98. (Alexander Belchenko, #84728)
3725
3726
* Searching location of CA bundle for PyCurl in env variable
3727
(``CURL_CA_BUNDLE``), and on win32 along the PATH.
3728
(Alexander Belchenko, #82086)
3729
3730
* ``bzr init`` works with unicode argument LOCATION.
3731
(Alexander Belchenko, #85599)
3732
3733
* Raise ``DependencyNotPresent`` if pycurl do not support https.
3734
(Vincent Ladeuil, #85305)
3735
3736
* Invalid proxy env variables should not cause a traceback.
3737
(Vincent Ladeuil, #87765)
3738
3739
* Ignore patterns normalised to use '/' path separator.
3740
(Kent Gibson, #86451)
3741
3742
* bzr rocks. It sure does! Fix case. (Vincent Ladeuil, #78026)
3743
3744
* Fix bzrtools shelve command for removed lines beginning with "--"
3745
(Johan Dahlberg, #75577)
3746
3747
TESTING:
3748
3749
* New ``--first`` option to ``bzr selftest`` to run specified tests

3756
IMPROVEMENTS:
3757
3758
* ``bzr help global-options`` describes the global options. (Aaron Bentley)
3759
3760
BUG FIXES:
3761
3762
* Skip documentation generation tests if the tools to do so are not
3763
available. Fixes running selftest for installled copies of bzr.
3764
(John Arbash Meinel, #80330)
3765
3766
* Fix the code that discovers whether bzr is being run from it's
3767
working tree to handle the case when it isn't but the directory
3768
it is in is below a repository. (James Westby, #77306)

3771
bzr 0.14rc1 2007-01-16
3772
-----------------------
3773
3774
IMPROVEMENTS:
3775
3776
* New connection: ``bzr+http://`` which supports tunnelling the smart
3777
protocol over an HTTP connection. If writing is enabled on the bzr
3778
server, then you can write over the http connection.
3779
(Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
3780
3781
* Aliases now support quotation marks, so they can contain whitespace
3782
(Marius Kruger)
3783
3784
* PyCurlTransport now use a single curl object. By specifying explicitly
3785
the 'Range' header, we avoid the need to use two different curl objects
3786
(and two connections to the same server). (Vincent Ladeuil)
3787
3788
* ``bzr commit`` does not prompt for a message until it is very likely to
3789
succeed. (Aaron Bentley)
3790
3791
* ``bzr conflicts`` now takes --text to list pathnames of text conflicts
3792
(Aaron Bentley)
3793
3794
* Fix ``iter_lines_added_or_present_in_versions`` to use a set instead
3795
of a list while checking if a revision id was requested. Takes 10s
3796
off of the ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` time, which is 10s
3797
of the ``bzr branch`` time. Also improve ``fileids_...`` time by
3798
filtering lines with a regex rather than multiple ``str.find()``
3799
calls. (saves another 300ms) (John Arbash Meinel)
3800
3801
* Policy can be set for each configuration key. This allows keys to be
3802
inherited properly across configuration entries. For example, this
3803
should enable you to do::
3804
3805
[/home/user/project]
3806
push_location = sftp://host/srv/project/
3807
push_location:policy = appendpath
3808
3809
And then a branch like ``/home/user/project/mybranch`` should get an
3810
automatic push location of ``sftp://host/srv/project/mybranch``.
3811
(James Henstridge)
3812
3813
* Added ``bzr status --short`` to make status report svn style flags
3814
for each file. For example::
3815
3816
$ bzr status --short
3817
A foo
3818
A bar
3819
D baz
3820
? wooley
3821
3822
* 'bzr selftest --clean-output' allows easily clean temporary tests
3823
directories without running tests. (Alexander Belchenko)
3824
3825
* ``bzr help hidden-commands`` lists all hidden commands. (Aaron Bentley)
3826
3827
* ``bzr merge`` now has an option ``--pull`` to fall back to pull if
3828
local is fully merged into remote. (Jan Hudec)
3829
3830
* ``bzr help formats`` describes available directory formats. (Aaron Bentley)
3831
3832
INTERNALS:
3833
3834
* A few tweaks directly to ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` to
3835
help speed up processing, as well allowing to extract unannotated
3836
lines. Between the two ``fileids_affected_by_revision_ids`` is
3837
improved by approx 10%. (John Arbash Meinel)
3838
3839
* Change Revision serialization to only write out millisecond
3840
resolution. Rather than expecting floating point serialization to
3841
preserve more resolution than we need. (Henri Weichers, Martin Pool)
3842
3843
* Test suite ends cleanly on Windows. (Vincent Ladeuil)
3844
3845
* When ``encoding_type`` attribute of class Command is equal to 'exact',
3846
force sys.stdout to be a binary stream on Windows, and therefore
3847
keep exact line-endings (without LF -> CRLF conversion).
3848
(Alexander Belchenko)
3849
3850
* Single-letter short options are no longer globally declared. (Martin
3851
Pool)
3852
3853
* Before using detected user/terminal encoding bzr should check
3854
that Python has corresponding codec. (Alexander Belchenko)
3855
3856
* Formats for end-user selection are provided via a FormatRegistry (Aaron Bentley)
3857
3858
BUG FIXES:
3859
3860
* ``bzr missing --verbose`` was showing adds/removals in the wrong
3861
direction. (John Arbash Meinel)
3862
3863
* ``bzr annotate`` now defaults to showing dotted revnos for merged
3864
revisions. It cuts them off at a depth of 12 characters, but you can
3865
supply ``--long`` to see the full number. You can also use
3866
``--show-ids`` to display the original revision ids, rather than
3867
revision numbers and committer names. (John Arbash Meinel, #75637)
3868
3869
* bzr now supports Win32 UNC path (e.g. ``\HOST\path``.
3870
(Alexander Belchenko, #57869)
3871
3872
* Win32-specific: output of cat, bundle and diff commands don't mangle
3873
line-endings (Alexander Belchenko, #55276)
3874
3875
* Replace broken fnmatch based ignore pattern matching with custom pattern
3876
matcher.
3877
(Kent Gibson, Jan Hudec #57637)
3878
3879
* pycurl and urllib can detect short reads at different places. Update
3880
the test suite to test more cases. Also detect http error code 416
3881
which was raised for that specific bug. Also enhance the urllib
3882
robustness by detecting invalid ranges (and pycurl's one by detecting
3883
short reads during the initial GET). (Vincent Ladeuil, #73948)
3884
3885
* The urllib connection sharing interacts badly with urllib2
3886
proxy setting (the connections didn't go thru the proxy
3887
anymore). Defining a proper ProxyHandler solves the
3888
problem. (Vincent Ladeuil, #74759)
3889
3890
* Use urlutils to generate relative URLs, not osutils
3891
(Aaron Bentley, #76229)
3892
3893
* ``bzr status`` in a readonly directory should work without giving
3894
lots of errors. (John Arbash Meinel, #76299)
3895
3896
* Mention the revisionspec topic for the revision option help.
3897
(Wouter van Heyst, #31663)

* Allow plugins import from zip archives.

IMPROVEMENTS:
3912
3913
* New command ``bzr remove-tree`` allows the removal of the working
3914
tree from a branch.
3915
(Daniel Silverstone)
3916
3917
* urllib uses shared keep-alive connections, so http
3918
operations are substantially faster.
3919
(Vincent Ladeuil, #53654)
3920
3921
* ``bzr export`` allows an optional branch parameter, to export a bzr
3922
tree from some other url. For example:
3923
``bzr export bzr.tar.gz http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev``
3924
(Daniel Silverstone)
3925
3926
* Added ``bzr help topics`` to the bzr help system. This gives a
3927
location for general information, outside of a specific command.
3928
This includes updates for ``bzr help revisionspec`` the first topic
3929
included. (Goffredo Baroncelli, John Arbash Meinel, #42714)
3930
3931
* WSGI-compatible HTTP smart server. See ``doc/http_smart_server.txt``.
3932
(Andrew Bennetts)
3933
3934
* Knit files will now cache full texts only when the size of the
3935
deltas is as large as the size of the fulltext. (Or after 200
3936
deltas, whichever comes first). This has the most benefit on large
3937
files with small changes, such as the inventory for a large project.
3938
(eg For a project with 2500 files, and 7500 revisions, it changes
3939
the size of inventory.knit from 11MB to 5.4MB) (John Arbash Meinel)
3940
3941
INTERNALS:
3942
3943
* New -D option given before the command line turns on debugging output
3944
for particular areas. -Derror shows tracebacks on all errors.
3945
(Martin Pool)
3946
3947
* Clean up ``bzr selftest --benchmark bundle`` to correct an import,
3948
and remove benchmarks that take longer than 10min to run.
3949
(John Arbash Meinel)
3950
3951
* Use ``time.time()`` instead of ``time.clock()`` to decide on
3952
progress throttling. Because ``time.clock()`` is actually CPU time,
3953
so over a high-latency connection, too many updates get throttled.
3954
(John Arbash Meinel)
3955
3956
* ``MemoryTransport.list_dir()`` would strip the first character for
3957
files or directories in root directory. (John Arbash Meinel)
3958
3959
* New method ``get_branch_reference`` on 'BzrDir' allows the detection of
3960
branch references - which the smart server component needs.
3961
3962
* New ``ChrootTransportDecorator``, accessible via the ``chroot+`` url
3963
prefix. It disallows any access to locations above a set URL. (Andrew
3964
Bennetts)
3965
3966
BUG FIXES:
3967
3968
* Now ``_KnitIndex`` properly decode revision ids when loading index data.
3969
And optimize the knit index parsing code.
3970
(Dmitry Vasiliev, John Arbash Meinel)
3971
3972
* ``bzrlib/bzrdir.py`` was directly referencing ``bzrlib.workingtree``,
3973
without importing it. This prevented ``bzr upgrade`` from working
3974
unless a plugin already imported ``bzrlib.workingtree``
3975
(John Arbash Meinel, #70716)
3976
3977
* Suppress the traceback on invalid URLs (Vincent Ladeuil, #70803).
3978
3979
* Give nicer error message when an http server returns a 403
3980
error code. (Vincent Ladeuil, #57644).
3981
3982
* When a multi-range http GET request fails, try a single
3983
range one. If it fails too, forget about ranges. Remember that until
3984
the death of the transport and propagates that to the clones.
3985
(Vincent Ladeuil, #62276, #62029).
3986
3987
* Handles user/passwords supplied in url from command
3988
line (for the urllib implementation). Don't request already
3989
known passwords (Vincent Ladeuil, #42383, #44647, #48527)
3990
3991
* ``_KnitIndex.add_versions()`` dictionary compresses revision ids as they
3992
are added. This fixes bug where fetching remote revisions records
3993
them as full references rather than integers.
3994
(John Arbash Meinel, #64789)
3995
3996
* ``bzr ignore`` strips trailing slashes in patterns.
3997
Also ``bzr ignore`` rejects absolute paths. (Kent Gibson, #4559)
3998
3999
* ``bzr ignore`` takes multiple arguments. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #29488)
4000
4001
* mv correctly handles paths that traverse symlinks.
4002
(Aaron Bentley, #66964)
4003
4004
* Give nicer looking error messages when failing to connect over ssh.
4005
(John Arbash Meinel, #49172)
4006
4007
* Pushing to a remote branch does not currently update the remote working
4008
tree. After a remote push, ``bzr status`` and ``bzr diff`` on the remote
4009
machine now show that the working tree is out of date.
4010
(Cheuksan Edward Wang #48136)
4011
4012
* Use patiencediff instead of difflib for determining deltas to insert
4013
into knits. This avoids the O(N^3) behavior of difflib. Patience
4014
diff should be O(N^2). (Cheuksan Edward Wang, #65714)
4015
4016
* Running ``bzr log`` on nonexistent file gives an error instead of the
4017
entire log history. (Cheuksan Edward Wang #50793)
4018
4019
* ``bzr cat`` can look up contents of removed or renamed files. If the
4020
pathname is ambiguous, i.e. the files in the old and new trees have
4021
different id's, the default is the file in the new tree. The user can
4022
use "--name-from-revision" to select the file in the old tree.
4023
(Cheuksan Edward Wang, #30190)
4024
4025
TESTING:
4026
4027
* TestingHTTPRequestHandler really handles the Range header
4028
(previously it was ignoring it and returning the whole file,).

4040
-----------------------
4041
4042
IMPROVEMENTS:
4043
4044
* ``bzr log`` now shows dotted-decimal revision numbers for all revisions,
4045
rather than just showing a decimal revision number for revisions on the
4046
mainline. These revision numbers are not yet accepted as input into bzr
4047
commands such as log, diff etc. (Robert Collins)
4048
4049
* revisions can now be specified using dotted-decimal revision numbers.
4050
For instance, ``bzr diff -r 1.2.1..1.2.3``. (Robert Collins)
4051
4052
* ``bzr help commands`` output is now shorter (Aaron Bentley)
4053
4054
* ``bzr`` now uses lazy importing to reduce the startup time. This has
4055
a moderate effect on lots of actions, especially ones that have
4056
little to do. For example ``bzr rocks`` time is down to 116ms from
4057
283ms. (John Arbash Meinel)
4058
4059
* New Registry class to provide name-to-object registry-like support,
4060
for example for schemes where plugins can register new classes to
4061
do certain tasks (e.g. log formatters). Also provides lazy registration
4062
to allow modules to be loaded on request.
4063
(John Arbash Meinel, Adeodato Simó)
4064
4065
API INCOMPATABILITY:
4066
4067
* LogFormatter subclasses show now expect the 'revno' parameter to
4068
show() to be a string rather than an int. (Robert Collins)
4069
4070
INTERNALS:
4071
4072
* ``TestCase.run_bzr``, ``run_bzr_captured``, and ``run_bzr_subprocess``
4073
can take a ``working_dir='foo'`` parameter, which will change directory
4074
for the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4075
4076
* ``bzrlib.lazy_regex.lazy_compile`` can be used to create a proxy
4077
around a regex, which defers compilation until first use.
4078
(John Arbash Meinel)
4079
4080
* ``TestCase.run_bzr_subprocess`` defaults to supplying the
4081
``--no-plugins`` parameter to ensure test reproducability, and avoid
4082
problems with system-wide installed plugins. (John Arbash Meinel)
4083
4084
* Unique tree root ids are now supported. Newly created trees still
4085
use the common root id for compatibility with bzr versions before 0.12.
4086
(Aaron Bentley)
4087
4088
* ``WorkingTree.set_root_id(None)`` is now deprecated. Please
4089
pass in ``inventory.ROOT_ID`` if you want the default root id value.
4090
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4091
4092
* New method ``WorkingTree.flush()`` which will write the current memory
4093
inventory out to disk. At the same time, ``read_working_inventory`` will
4094
no longer trash the current tree inventory if it has been modified within
4095
the current lock, and the tree will now ``flush()`` automatically on
4096
``unlock()``. ``WorkingTree.set_root_id()`` has been updated to take
4097
advantage of this functionality. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4098
4099
* ``bzrlib.tsort.merge_sorted`` now accepts ``generate_revnos``. This
4100
parameter will cause it to add another column to its output, which
4101
contains the dotted-decimal revno for each revision, as a tuple.
4102
(Robert Collins)
4103
4104
* ``LogFormatter.show_merge`` is deprecated in favour of
4105
``LogFormatter.show_merge_revno``. (Robert Collins)
4106
4107
BUG FIXES:
4108
4109
* Avoid circular imports by creating a deprecated function for
4110
``bzrlib.tree.RevisionTree``. Callers should have been using
4111
``bzrlib.revisontree.RevisionTree`` anyway. (John Arbash Meinel,
4112
#63360, #66349)
4113
4114
* Don't use ``socket.MSG_WAITALL`` as it doesn't exist on all
4115
platforms. (Martin Pool, #66356)
4116
4117
* Don't require ``Content-Type`` in range responses. Assume they are a
4118
single range if ``Content-Type`` does not exist.
4119
(John Arbash Meinel, #62473)
4120
4121
* bzr branch/pull no longer complain about progress bar cleanup when
4122
interrupted during fetch. (Aaron Bentley, #54000)
4123
4124
* ``WorkingTree.set_parent_trees()`` uses the trees to directly write
4125
the basis inventory, rather than going through the repository. This
4126
allows us to have 1 inventory read, and 2 inventory writes when
4127
committing a new tree. (John Arbash Meinel)
4128
4129
* When reverting, files that are not locally modified that do not exist
4130
in the target are deleted, not just unversioned (Aaron Bentley)
4131
4132
* When trying to acquire a lock, don't fail immediately. Instead, try
4133
a few times (up to 1 hour) before timing out. Also, report why the
4134
lock is unavailable (John Arbash Meinel, #43521, #49556)
4135
4136
* Leave HttpTransportBase daughter classes decides how they
4137
implement cloning. (Vincent Ladeuil, #61606)
4138
4139
* diff3 does not indicate conflicts on clean merge. (Aaron Bentley)
4140
4141
* If a commit fails, the commit message is stored in a file at the root of
4142
the tree for later commit. (Cheuksan Edward Wang, Stefan Metzmacher,
4143
#32054)
4144
4145
TESTING:
4146
4147
* New test base class TestCaseWithMemoryTransport offers memory-only
4148
testing facilities: its not suitable for tests that need to mutate disk
4149
state, but most tests should not need that and should be converted to
4150
TestCaseWithMemoryTransport. (Robert Collins)
4151
4152
* ``TestCase.make_branch_and_memory_tree`` now takes a format
4153
option to set the BzrDir, Repository and Branch formats of the
4154
created objects. (Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4155
4156
bzr 0.11 2006-10-02
4157
--------------------
4158
4159
* Smart server transport test failures on windows fixed. (Lukáš Lalinský).
4160
4161
bzr 0.11rc2 2006-09-27
4162
-----------------------
4163
4164
BUG FIXES:
4165
4166
* Test suite hangs on windows fixed. (Andrew Bennets, Alexander Belchenko).
4167
4168
* Commit performance regression fixed. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, John
4169
Arbash Meinel).
4170
4171
bzr 0.11rc1 2006-09-25
4172
-----------------------
4173
4174
IMPROVEMENTS:
4175
4176
* Knit files now wait to create their contents until the first data is
4177
added. The old code used to create an empty .knit and a .kndx with just
4178
the header. However, this caused a lot of extra round trips over sftp.
4179
This can change the time for ``bzr push`` to create a new remote branch
4180
from 160s down to 100s. This also affects ``bzr commit`` performance when
4181
adding new files, ``bzr commit`` on a new kernel-like tree drops from 50s
4182
down to 40s (John Arbash Meinel, #44692)
4183
4184
* When an entire subtree has been deleted, commit will now report that
4185
just the top of the subtree has been deleted, rather than reporting
4186
all the individual items. (Robert Collins)
4187
4188
* Commit performs one less XML parse. (Robert Collins)
4189
4190
* ``bzr checkout`` now operates on readonly branches as well
4191
as readwrite branches. This fixes bug #39542. (Robert Collins)
4192
4193
* ``bzr bind`` no longer synchronises history with the master branch.
4194
Binding should be followed by an update or push to synchronise the
4195
two branches. This is closely related to the fix for bug #39542.
4196
(Robert Collins)
4197
4198
* ``bzrlib.lazy_import.lazy_import`` function to create on-demand
4199
objects. This allows all imports to stay at the global scope, but
4200
modules will not actually be imported if they are not used.
4201
(John Arbash Meinel)
4202
4203
* Support ``bzr://`` and ``bzr+ssh://`` urls to work with the new RPC-based
4204
transport which will be used with the upcoming high-performance smart
4205
server. The new command ``bzr serve`` will invoke bzr in server mode,
4206
which processes these requests. (Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins, Martin
4207
Pool)
4208
4209
* New command ``bzr version-info`` which can be used to get a summary
4210
of the current state of the tree. This is especially useful as part
4211
of a build commands. See ``doc/version_info.txt`` for more information
4212
(John Arbash Meinel)
4213
4214
BUG FIXES:
4215
4216
* ``'bzr inventory [FILE...]'`` allows restricting the file list to a
4217
specific set of files. (John Arbash Meinel, #3631)
4218
4219
* Don't abort when annotating empty files (John Arbash Meinel, #56814)
4220
4221
* Add ``Stanza.to_unicode()`` which can be passed to another Stanza
4222
when nesting stanzas. Also, add ``read_stanza_unicode`` to handle when
4223
reading a nested Stanza. (John Arbash Meinel)
4224
4225
* Transform._set_mode() needs to stat the right file.
4226
(John Arbash Meinel, #56549)
4227
4228
* Raise WeaveFormatError rather than StopIteration when trying to read
4229
an empty Weave file. (John Arbash Meinel, #46871)
4230
4231
* Don't access e.code for generic URLErrors, only HTTPErrors have .code.
4232
(Vincent Ladeuil, #59835)
4233
4234
* Handle boundary="" lines properly to allow access through a Squid proxy.
4235
(John Arbash Meinel, #57723)
4236
4237
* revert now removes newly-added directories (Aaron Bentley, #54172)
4238
4239
* ``bzr upgrade sftp://`` shouldn't fail to upgrade v6 branches if there
4240
isn't a working tree. (David Allouche, #40679)
4241
4242
* Give nicer error messages when a user supplies an invalid --revision
4243
parameter. (John Arbash Meinel, #55420)
4244
4245
* Handle when LANG is not recognized by python. Emit a warning, but
4246
just revert to using 'ascii'. (John Arbash Meinel, #35392)
4247
4248
* Don't use ``preexec_fn`` on win32, as it is not supported by subprocess.
4249
(John Arbash Meinel)
4250
4251
* Skip specific tests when the dependencies aren't met. This includes
4252
some ``setup.py`` tests when ``python-dev`` is not available, and
4253
some tests that depend on paramiko. (John Arbash Meinel, Mattheiu Moy)
4254
4255
* Fallback to Paramiko properly, if no ``ssh`` executable exists on
4256
the system. (Andrew Bennetts, John Arbash Meinel)
4257
4258
* ``Branch.bind(other_branch)`` no longer takes a write lock on the
4259
other branch, and will not push or pull between the two branches.
4260
API users will need to perform a push or pull or update operation if they
4261
require branch synchronisation to take place. (Robert Collins, #47344)
4262
4263
* When creating a tarball or zipfile export, export unicode names as utf-8
4264
paths. This may not work perfectly on all platforms, but has the best
4265
chance of working in the common case. (John Arbash Meinel, #56816)
4266
4267
* When committing, only files that exist in working tree or basis tree
4268
may be specified (Aaron Bentley, #50793)
4269
4270
PORTABILITY:
4271
4272
* Fixes to run on Python 2.5 (Brian M. Carlson, Martin Pool, Marien Zwart)
4273
4274
INTERNALS:
4275
4276
* TestCaseInTempDir now creates a separate directory for HOME, rather
4277
than having HOME set to the same location as the working directory.
4278
(John Arbash Meinel)
4279
4280
* ``run_bzr_subprocess()`` can take an optional ``env_changes={}`` parameter,
4281
which will update os.environ inside the spawned child. It also can
4282
take a ``universal_newlines=True``, which helps when checking the output
4283
of the command. (John Arbash Meinel)
4284
4285
* Refactor SFTP vendors to allow easier re-use when ssh is used.
4286
(Andrew Bennetts)
4287
4288
* ``Transport.list_dir()`` and ``Transport.iter_files_recursive()`` should always
4289
return urlescaped paths. This is now tested (there were bugs in a few
4290
of the transports) (Andrew Bennetts, David Allouche, John Arbash Meinel)
4291
4292
* New utility function ``symbol_versioning.deprecation_string``. Returns the
4293
formatted string for a callable, deprecation format pair. (Robert Collins)
4294
4295
* New TestCase helper applyDeprecated. This allows you to call a callable
4296
which is deprecated without it spewing to the screen, just by supplying
4297
the deprecation format string issued for it. (Robert Collins)
4298
4299
* Transport.append and Transport.put have been deprecated in favor of
4300
``.append_bytes``, ``.append_file``, ``.put_bytes``, and
4301
``.put_file``. This removes the ambiguity in what type of object the
4302
functions take. ``Transport.non_atomic_put_{bytes,file}`` has also
4303
been added. Which works similarly to ``Transport.append()`` except for
4304
SFTP, it doesn't have a round trip when opening the file. Also, it
4305
provides functionality for creating a parent directory when trying
4306
to create a file, rather than raise NoSuchFile and forcing the
4307
caller to repeat their request.
4308
(John Arbash Meinel)
4309
4310
* WorkingTree has a new api ``unversion`` which allow the unversioning of
4311
entries by their file id. (Robert Collins)
4312
4313
* ``WorkingTree.pending_merges`` is deprecated. Please use the
4314
``get_parent_ids`` (introduced in 0.10) method instead. (Robert Collins)
4315
4316
* WorkingTree has a new ``lock_tree_write`` method which locks the branch for
4317
read rather than write. This is appropriate for actions which only need
4318
the branch data for reference rather than mutation. A new decorator
4319
``needs_tree_write_lock`` is provided in the workingtree module. Like the
4320
``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` decorators this allows static
4321
declaration of the locking requirements of a function to ensure that
4322
a lock is taken out for casual scripts. (Robert Collins, #54107)
4323
4324
* All WorkingTree methods which write to the tree, but not to the branch
4325
have been converted to use ``needs_tree_write_lock`` rather than
4326
``needs_write_lock``. Also converted is the revert, conflicts and tree
4327
transform modules. This provides a modest performance improvement on
4328
metadir style trees, due to the reduce lock-acquisition, and a more
4329
significant performance improvement on lightweight checkouts from
4330
remote branches, where trivial operations used to pay a significant
4331
penalty. It also provides the basis for allowing readonly checkouts.
4332
(Robert Collins)
4333
4334
* Special case importing the standard library 'copy' module. This shaves
4335
off 40ms of startup time, while retaining compatibility. See:
4336
``bzrlib/inspect_for_copy.py`` for more details. (John Arbash Meinel)
4337
4338
* WorkingTree has a new parent class MutableTree which represents the
4339
specialisations of Tree which are able to be altered. (Robert Collins)
4340
4341
* New methods mkdir and ``put_file_bytes_non_atomic`` on MutableTree that
4342
mutate the tree and its contents. (Robert Collins)
4343
4344
* Transport behaviour at the root of the URL is now defined and tested.
4345
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4346
4347
TESTING:
4348
4349
* New test helper classs MemoryTree. This is typically accessed via
4350
``self.make_branch_and_memory_tree()`` in test cases. (Robert Collins)
4351
4352
* Add ``start_bzr_subprocess`` and ``stop_bzr_subprocess`` to allow test
4353
code to continue running concurrently with a subprocess of bzr.
4354
(Andrew Bennetts, Robert Collins)
4355
4356
* Add a new method ``Transport.get_smart_client()``. This is provided to
4357
allow upgrades to a richer interface than the VFS one provided by
4358
Transport. (Andrew Bennetts, Martin Pool)
4359
4360
bzr 0.10 2006-08-29
4361
--------------------
4362
4363
IMPROVEMENTS:
4364
* 'merge' now takes --uncommitted, to apply uncommitted changes from a
4365
tree. (Aaron Bentley)
4366
4367
* 'bzr add --file-ids-from' can be used to specify another path to use
4368
for creating file ids, rather than generating all new ones. Internally,
4369
the 'action' passed to ``smart_add_tree()`` can return ``file_ids`` that
4370
will be used, rather than having bzrlib generate new ones.
4371
(John Arbash Meinel, #55781)
4372
4373
* ``bzr selftest --benchmark`` now allows a ``--cache-dir`` parameter.
4374
This will cache some of the intermediate trees, and decrease the
4375
setup time for benchmark tests. (John Arbash Meinel)
4376
4377
* Inverse forms are provided for all boolean options. For example,
4378
--strict has --no-strict, --no-recurse has --recurse (Aaron Bentley)
4379
4380
* Serialize out Inventories directly, rather than using ElementTree.
4381
Writing out a kernel sized inventory drops from 2s down to ~350ms.
4382
(Robert Collins, John Arbash Meinel)
4383
4384
BUG FIXES:
4385
4386
* Help diffutils 2.8.4 get along with binary tests (Marien Zwart: #57614)
4387
4388
* Change LockDir so that if the lock directory doesn't exist when
4389
``lock_write()`` is called, an attempt will be made to create it.
4390
(John Arbash Meinel, #56974)
4391
4392
* ``bzr uncommit`` preserves pending merges. (John Arbash Meinel, #57660)
4393
4394
* Active FTP transport now works as intended. (ghozzy, #56472)
4395
4396
* Really fix mutter() so that it won't ever raise a UnicodeError.
4397
It means it is possible for ~/.bzr.log to contain non UTF-8 characters.
4398
But it is a debugging log, not a real user file.
4399
(John Arbash Meinel, #56947, #53880)
4400
4401
* Change Command handle to allow Unicode command and options.
4402
At present we cannot register Unicode command names, so we will get
4403
BzrCommandError('unknown command'), or BzrCommandError('unknown option')
4404
But that is better than a UnicodeError + a traceback.
4405
(John Arbash Meinel, #57123)
4406
4407
* Handle TZ=UTC properly when reading/writing revisions.
4408
(John Arbash Meinel, #55783, #56290)
4409
4410
* Use ``GPG_TTY`` to allow gpg --cl to work with gpg-agent in a pipeline,
4411
(passing text to sign in on stdin). (John Arbash Meinel, #54468)
4412
4413
* External diff does the right thing for binaries even in foreign
4414
languages. (John Arbash Meinel, #56307)
4415
4416
* Testament handles more cases when content is unicode. Specific bug was
4417
in handling of revision properties.
4418
(John Arbash Meinel, Holger Krekel, #54723)
4419
4420
* The bzr selftest was failing on installed versions due to a bug in a new
4421
test helper. (John Arbash Meinel, Robert Collins, #58057)
4422
4423
INTERNALS:
4424
4425
* ``bzrlib.cache_utf8`` contains ``encode()`` and ``decode()`` functions
4426
which can be used to cache the conversion between utf8 and Unicode.
4427
Especially helpful for some of the knit annotation code, which has to
4428
convert revision ids to utf8 to annotate lines in storage.
4429
(John Arbash Meinel)
4430
4431
* ``setup.py`` now searches the filesystem to find all packages which
4432
need to be installed. This should help make the life of packagers
4433
easier. (John Arbash Meinel)
4434
4435
bzr 0.9.0 2006-08-11
4436
---------------------
4437
4438
SURPRISES:
4439
4440
* The hard-coded built-in ignore rules have been removed. There are
4441
now two rulesets which are enforced. A user global one in
4442
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` which will apply to every tree, and the tree
4443
specific one '.bzrignore'.
4444
``~/.bazaar/ignore`` will be created if it does not exist, but with
4445
a more conservative list than the old default.
4446
This fixes bugs with default rules being enforced no matter what.
4447
The old list of ignore rules from bzr is available by
4448
running 'bzr ignore --old-default-rules'.
4449
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool, John Arbash Meinel)
4450
4451
* 'branches.conf' has been changed to 'locations.conf', since it can apply
4452
to more locations than just branch locations.
4453
(Aaron Bentley)
4454
4455
IMPROVEMENTS:
4456
4457
* The revision specifier "revno:" is extended to accept the syntax
4458
revno:N:branch. For example,
4459
revno:42:http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/ means revision 42 in
4460
bzr.dev. (Matthieu Moy)
4461
4462
* Tests updates to ensure proper URL handling, UNICODE support, and
4463
proper printing when the user's terminal encoding cannot display
4464
the path of a file that has been versioned.
4465
``bzr branch`` can take a target URL rather than only a local directory.
4466
``Branch.get_parent()/set_parent()`` now save a relative path if possible,
4467
and normalize the parent based on root, allowing access across
4468
different transports. (John Arbash Meinel, Wouter van Heyst, Martin Pool)
4469
(Malone #48906, #42699, #40675, #5281, #3980, #36363, #43689,
4470
#42517, #42514)
4471
4472
* On Unix, detect terminal width using an ioctl not just $COLUMNS.
4473
Use terminal width for single-line logs from ``bzr log --line`` and
4474
pending-merge display. (Robert Widhopf-Fenk, Gustavo Niemeyer)
4475
(Malone #3507)
4476
4477
* On Windows, detect terminal width using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
4478
(Alexander Belchenko)
4479
4480
* Speedup improvement for 'date:'-revision search. (Guillaume Pinot).
4481
4482
* Show the correct number of revisions pushed when pushing a new branch.
4483
(Robert Collins).
4484
4485
* 'bzr selftest' now shows a progress bar with the number of tests, and
4486
progress made. 'make check' shows tests in -v mode, to be more useful
4487
for the PQM status window. (Robert Collins).
4488
When using a progress bar, failed tests are printed out, rather than
4489
being overwritten by the progress bar until the suite finishes.
4490
(John Arbash Meinel)
4491
4492
* 'bzr selftest --benchmark' will run a new benchmarking selftest.
4493
'bzr selftest --benchmark --lsprof-timed' will use lsprofile to generate
4494
profile data for the individual profiled calls, allowing for fine
4495
grained analysis of performance.
4496
(Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4497
4498
* 'bzr commit' shows a progress bar. This is useful for commits over sftp
4499
where commit can take an appreciable time. (Robert Collins)
4500
4501
* 'bzr add' is now less verbose in telling you what ignore globs were
4502
matched by files being ignored. Instead it just tells you how many
4503
were ignored (because you might reasonably be expecting none to be
4504
ignored). 'bzr add -v' is unchanged and will report every ignored
4505
file. (Robert Collins).
4506
4507
* ftp now has a test server if medusa is installed. As part of testing,
4508
ftp support has been improved, including support for supplying a
4509
non-standard port. (John Arbash Meinel).
4510
4511
* 'bzr log --line' shows the revision number, and uses only the
4512
first line of the log message (#5162, Alexander Belchenko;
4513
Matthieu Moy)
4514
4515
* 'bzr status' has had the --all option removed. The 'bzr ls' command
4516
should be used to retrieve all versioned files. (Robert Collins)
4517
4518
* 'bzr bundle OTHER/BRANCH' will create a bundle which can be sent
4519
over email, and applied on the other end, while maintaining ancestry.
4520
This bundle can be applied with either 'bzr merge' or 'bzr pull',
4521
the same way you would apply another branch.
4522
(John Arbash Meinel, Aaron Bentley)
4523
4524
* 'bzr whoami' can now be used to set your identity from the command line,
4525
for a branch or globally. (Robey Pointer)
4526
4527
* 'bzr checkout' now aliased to 'bzr co', and 'bzr annotate' to 'bzr ann'.
4528
(Michael Ellerman)
4529
4530
* 'bzr revert DIRECTORY' now reverts the contents of the directory as well.
4531
(Aaron Bentley)
4532
4533
* 'bzr get sftp://foo' gives a better error when paramiko is not present.
4534
Also updates things like 'http+pycurl://' if pycurl is not present.
4535
(John Arbash Meinel) (Malone #47821, #52204)
4536
4537
* New env variable ``BZR_PROGRESS_BAR``, sets the default progress bar type.
4538
Can be set to 'none' or 'dummy' to disable the progress bar, 'dots' or
4539
'tty' to create the respective type. (John Arbash Meinel, #42197, #51107)
4540
4541
* Improve the help text for 'bzr diff' to explain what various options do.
4542
(John Arbash Meinel, #6391)
4543
4544
* 'bzr uncommit -r 10' now uncommits revisions 11.. rather than uncommitting
4545
revision 10. This makes -r10 more in line with what other commands do.
4546
'bzr uncommit' also now saves the pending merges of the revisions that
4547
were removed. So it is safe to uncommit after a merge, fix something,
4548
and commit again. (John Arbash Meinel, #32526, #31426)
4549
4550
* 'bzr init' now also works on remote locations.
4551
(Wouter van Heyst, #48904)
4552
4553
* HTTP support has been updated. When using pycurl we now support
4554
connection keep-alive, which reduces dns requests and round trips.
4555
And for both urllib and pycurl we support multi-range requests,
4556
which decreases the number of round-trips. Performance results for
4557
``bzr branch http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev/`` indicate
4558
http branching is now 2-3x faster, and ``bzr pull`` in an existing
4559
branch is as much as 4x faster.
4560
(Michael Ellerman, Johan Rydberg, John Arbash Meinel, #46768)
4561
4562
* Performance improvements for sftp. Branching and pulling are now up to
4563
2x faster. Utilize paramiko.readv() support for async requests if it
4564
is available (paramiko > 1.6) (John Arbash Meinel)
4565
4566
BUG FIXES:
4567
4568
* Fix shadowed definition of TestLocationConfig that caused some
4569
tests not to run.
4570
(Erik Bågfors, Michael Ellerman, Martin Pool, #32587)
4571
4572
* Fix unnecessary requirement of sign-my-commits that it be run from
4573
a working directory. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4574
4575
* 'bzr push location' will only remember the push location if it succeeds
4576
in connecting to the remote location. (John Arbash Meinel, #49742)
4577
4578
* 'bzr revert' no longer toggles the executable bit on win32
4579
(John Arbash Meinel, #45010)
4580
4581
* Handle broken pipe under win32 correctly. (John Arbash Meinel)
4582
4583
* sftp tests now work correctly on win32 if you have a newer paramiko
4584
(John Arbash Meinel)
4585
4586
* Cleanup win32 test suite, and general cleanup of places where
4587
file handles were being held open. (John Arbash Meinel)
4588
4589
* When specifying filenames for 'diff -r x..y', the name of the file in the
4590
working directory can be used, even if its name is different in both x
4591
and y.
4592
4593
* File-ids containing single- or double-quotes are handled correctly by
4594
push. (Aaron Bentley, #52227)
4595
4596
* Normalize unicode filenames to ensure cross-platform consistency.
4597
(John Arbash Meinel, #43689)
4598
4599
* The argument parser can now handle '-' as an argument. Currently
4600
no code interprets it specially (it is mostly handled as a file named
4601
'-'). But plugins, and future operations can use it.
4602
(John Arbash meinel, #50984)
4603
4604
* Bundles can properly read binary files with a plain '\r' in them.
4605
(John Arbash Meinel, #51927)
4606
4607
* Tuning ``iter_entries()`` to be more efficient (John Arbash Meinel, #5444)
4608
4609
* Lots of win32 fixes (the test suite passes again).
4610
(John Arbash Meinel, #50155)
4611
4612
* Handle openbsd returning None for sys.getfilesystemencoding() (#41183)
4613
4614
* Support ftp APPE (append) to allow Knits to be used over ftp (#42592)
4615
4616
* Removals are only committed if they match the filespec (or if there is
4617
no filespec). (#46635, Aaron Bentley)
4618
4619
* smart-add recurses through all supplied directories
4620
(John Arbash Meinel, #52578)
4621
4622
* Make the bundle reader extra lines before and after the bundle text.
4623
This allows you to parse an email with the bundle inline.
4624
(John Arbash Meinel, #49182)
4625
4626
* Change the file id generator to squash a little bit more. Helps when
4627
working with long filenames on windows. (Also helps for unicode filenames
4628
not generating hidden files). (John Arbash Meinel, #43801)
4629
4630
* Restore terminal mode on C-c while reading sftp password. (#48923,
4631
Nicholas Allen, Martin Pool)
4632
4633
* Timestamps are rounded to 1ms, and revision entries can be recreated
4634
exactly. (John Arbash Meinel, Jamie Wilkinson, #40693)
4635
4636
* Branch.base has changed to a URL, but ~/.bazaar/locations.conf should
4637
use local paths, since it is user visible (John Arbash Meinel, #53653)
4638
4639
* ``bzr status foo`` when foo was unversioned used to cause a full delta
4640
to be generated (John Arbash Meinel, #53638)
4641
4642
* When reading revision properties, an empty value should be considered
4643
the empty string, not None (John Arbash Meinel, #47782)
4644
4645
* ``bzr diff --diff-options`` can now handle binary files being changed.
4646
Also, the output is consistent when --diff-options is not supplied.
4647
(John Arbash Meinel, #54651, #52930)
4648
4649
* Use the right suffixes for loading plugins (John Arbash Meinel, #51810)
4650
4651
* Fix ``Branch.get_parent()`` to handle the case when the parent is not
4652
accessible (John Arbash Meinel, #52976)
4653
4654
INTERNALS:
4655
4656
* Combine the ignore rules into a single regex rather than looping over
4657
them to reduce the threshold where N^2 behaviour occurs in operations
4658
like status. (Jan Hudec, Robert Collins).
4659
4660
* Appending to ``bzrlib.DEFAULT_IGNORE`` is now deprecated. Instead, use
4661
one of the add functions in bzrlib.ignores. (John Arbash Meinel)
4662
4663
* 'bzr push' should only push the ancestry of the current revision, not
4664
all of the history in the repository. This is especially important for
4665
shared repositories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4666
4667
* ``bzrlib.delta.compare_trees`` now iterates in alphabetically sorted order,
4668
rather than randomly walking the inventories. (John Arbash Meinel)
4669
4670
* Doctests are now run in temporary directories which are cleaned up when
4671
they finish, rather than using special ScratchDir/ScratchBranch objects.
4672
(Martin Pool)
4673
4674
* Split ``check`` into separate methods on the branch and on the repository,
4675
so that it can be specialized in ways that are useful or efficient for
4676
different formats. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4677
4678
* Deprecate ``Repository.all_revision_ids``; most methods don't really need
4679
the global revision graph but only that part leading up to a particular
4680
revision. (Martin Pool, Robert Collins)
4681
4682
* Add a BzrDirFormat ``control_formats`` list which allows for control formats
4683
that do not use '.bzr' to store their data - i.e. '.svn', '.hg' etc.
4684
(Robert Collins, Jelmer Vernooij).
4685
4686
* ``bzrlib.diff.external_diff`` can be redirected to any file-like object.
4687
Uses subprocess instead of spawnvp.
4688
(James Henstridge, John Arbash Meinel, #4047, #48914)
4689
4690
* New command line option '--profile-imports', which will install a custom
4691
importer to log time to import modules and regex compilation time to
4692
sys.stderr (John Arbash Meinel)
4693
4694
* 'EmptyTree' is now deprecated, please use ``repository.revision_tree(None)``
4695
instead. (Robert Collins)
4696
4697
* "RevisionTree" is now in bzrlib/revisiontree.py. (Robert Collins)

4714
* Nicer messages from 'commit' in the case of renames, and correct
4715
messages when a merge has occured. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4716
4717
* Separate functionality from assert statements as they are skipped in
4718
optimized mode of python. Add the same check to pending merges.

4731
4732
* Make editor invocation comply with Debian Policy. First check

4735
list of editors. (Olaf Conradi, #42904)
4736
4737
NEW FEATURES:
4738
4739
* New 'register-branch' command registers a public branch into

4754
bzr 0.8 2006-05-08
4755
-------------------
4756
4757
NOTES WHEN UPGRADING:
4758
4759
Release 0.8 of bzr introduces a new format for history storage, called
4760
'knit', as an evolution of to the 'weave' format used in 0.7. Local
4761
and remote operations are faster using knits than weaves. Several
4762
operations including 'init', 'init-repo', and 'upgrade' take a
4763
--format option that controls this. Branching from an existing branch
4764
will keep the same format.
4765
4766
It is possible to merge, pull and push between branches of different
4767
formats but this is slower than moving data between homogenous
4768
branches. It is therefore recommended (but not required) that you
4769
upgrade all branches for a project at the same time. Information on
4770
formats is shown by 'bzr info'.
4771
4772
bzr 0.8 now allows creation of 'repositories', which hold the history
4773
of files and revisions for several branches. Previously bzr kept all
4774
the history for a branch within the .bzr directory at the root of the
4775
branch, and this is still the default. To create a repository, use
4776
the new 'bzr init-repo' command. Branches exist as directories under
4777
the repository and contain just a small amount of information
4778
indicating the current revision of the branch.
4779
4780
bzr 0.8 also supports 'checkouts', which are similar to in cvs and
4781
subversion. Checkouts are associated with a branch (optionally in a
4782
repository), which contains all the historical information. The
4783
result is that a checkout can be deleted without losing any
4784
already-committed revisions. A new 'update' command is also available.
4785
4786
Repositories and checkouts are not supported with the 0.7 storage
4787
format. To use them you must upgrad to either knits, or to the
4788
'metaweave' format, which uses weaves but changes the .bzr directory
4789
arrangement.
4790
4791
4792
IMPROVEMENTS:
4793
4794
* Sftp paths can now be relative, or local, according to the lftp
4795
convention. Paths now take the form::
4796
4797
sftp://user:pass@host:port/~/relative/path
4798
or
4799
sftp://user:pass@host:port/absolute/path
4800
4801
* The FTP transport now tries to reconnect after a temporary
4802
failure. ftp put is made atomic. (Matthieu Moy)
4803
4804
* The FTP transport now maintains a pool of connections, and
4805
reuses them to avoid multiple connections to the same host (like
4806
sftp did). (Daniel Silverstone)
4807
4808
* The ``bzr_man.py`` file has been removed. To create the man page now,
4809
use ``./generate_docs.py man``. The new program can also create other files.
4810
Run ``python generate_docs.py --help`` for usage information.
4811
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann & James Blackwell).
4812
4813
* Man Page now gives full help (James Blackwell).
4814
Help also updated to reflect user config now being stored in .bazaar
4815
(Hans Ulrich Niedermann)
4816
4817
* It's now possible to set aliases in bazaar.conf (Erik Bågfors)
4818
4819
* Pull now accepts a --revision argument (Erik Bågfors)
4820
4821
* ``bzr re-sign`` now allows multiple revisions to be supplied on the command
4822
line. You can now use the following command to sign all of your old
4823
commits::
4824
4825
find .bzr/revision-store// -name my@email-* \
4826
| sed 's/.*\/\/..\///' \
4827
| xargs bzr re-sign
4828
4829
* Upgrade can now upgrade over the network. (Robert Collins)
4830
4831
* Two new commands 'bzr checkout' and 'bzr update' allow for CVS/SVN-alike
4832
behaviour. By default they will cache history in the checkout, but
4833
with --lightweight almost all data is kept in the master branch.
4834
(Robert Collins)
4835
4836
* 'revert' unversions newly-versioned files, instead of deleting them.
4837
4838
* 'merge' is more robust. Conflict messages have changed.
4839
4840
* 'merge' and 'revert' no longer clobber existing files that end in '~' or
4841
'.moved'.
4842
4843
* Default log format can be set in configuration and plugins can register
4844
their own formatters. (Erik Bågfors)
4845
4846
* New 'reconcile' command will check branch consistency and repair indexes
4847
that can become out of sync in pre 0.8 formats. (Robert Collins,
4848
Daniel Silverstone)
4849
4850
* New 'bzr init --format' and 'bzr upgrade --format' option to control
4851
what storage format is created or produced. (Robert Collins,
4852
Martin Pool)
4853
4854
* Add parent location to 'bzr info', if there is one. (Olaf Conradi)
4855
4856
* New developer commands 'weave-list' and 'weave-join'. (Martin Pool)
4857
4858
* New 'init-repository' command, plus support for repositories in 'init'
4859
and 'branch' (Aaron Bentley, Erik Bågfors, Robert Collins)
4860
4861
* Improve output of 'info' command. Show all relevant locations related to
4862
working tree, branch and repository. Use kibibytes for binary quantities.
4863
Fix off-by-one error in missing revisions of working tree. Make 'info'
4864
work on branches, repositories and remote locations. Show locations
4865
relative to the shared repository, if applicable. Show locking status
4866
of locations. (Olaf Conradi)
4867
4868
* Diff and merge now safely handle binary files. (Aaron Bentley)
4869
4870
* 'pull' and 'push' now normalise the revision history, so that any two
4871
branches with the same tip revision will have the same output from 'log'.
4872
(Robert Collins)
4873
4874
* 'merge' accepts --remember option to store parent location, like 'push'
4875
and 'pull'. (Olaf Conradi)
4876
4877
* bzr status and diff when files given as arguments do not exist
4878
in the relevant trees. (Martin Pool, #3619)
4879
4880
* Add '.hg' to the default ignore list. (Martin Pool)
4881
4882
* 'knit' is now the default disk format. This improves disk performance and
4883
utilization, increases incremental pull performance, robustness with SFTP
4884
and allows checkouts over SFTP to perform acceptably.
4885
The initial Knit code was contributed by Johan Rydberg based on a
4886
specification by Martin Pool.
4887
(Robert Collins, Aaron Bentley, Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool).
4888
4889
* New tool to generate all-in-one html version of the manual. (Alexander
4890
Belchenko)
4891
4892
* Hitting CTRL-C while doing an SFTP push will no longer cause stale locks
4893
to be left in the SFTP repository. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool).
4894
4895
* New option 'diff --prefix' to control how files are named in diff
4896
output, with shortcuts '-p0' and '-p1' corresponding to the options for
4897
GNU patch. (Alexander Belchenko, Goffredo Baroncelli, Martin Pool)
4898
4899
* Add --revision option to 'annotate' command. (Olaf Conradi)
4900
4901
* If bzr shows an unexpected revision-history after pulling (perhaps due
4902
to a reweave) it can now be corrected by 'bzr reconcile'.
4903
(Robert Collins)
4904
4905
CHANGES:
4906
4907
* Commit is now verbose by default, and shows changed filenames and the
4908
new revision number. (Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4909
4910
* Unify 'mv', 'move', 'rename'. (Matthew Fuller, #5379)
4911
4912
* 'bzr -h' shows help. (Martin Pool, Ian Bicking, #35940)
4913
4914
* Make 'pull' and 'push' remember location on failure using --remember.
4915
(Olaf Conradi)
4916
4917
* For compatibility, make old format for using weaves inside metadir
4918
available as 'metaweave' format. Rename format 'metadir' to 'default'.
4919
Clean up help for option --format in commands 'init', 'init-repo' and
4920
'upgrade'. (Olaf Conradi)
4921
4922
INTERNALS:
4923
4924
* The internal storage of history, and logical branch identity have now
4925
been split into Branch, and Repository. The common locking and file
4926
management routines are now in bzrlib.lockablefiles.
4927
(Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins, Martin Pool)
4928
4929
* Transports can now raise DependencyNotPresent if they need a library
4930
which is not installed, and then another implementation will be
4931
tried. (Martin Pool)
4932
4933
* Remove obsolete (and no-op) `decode` parameter to `Transport.get`.
4934
(Martin Pool)
4935
4936
* Using Tree Transform for merge, revert, tree-building
4937
4938
* WorkingTree.create, Branch.create, ``WorkingTree.create_standalone``,
4939
Branch.initialize are now deprecated. Please see ``BzrDir.create_*`` for
4940
replacement API's. (Robert Collins)
4941
4942
* New BzrDir class represents the .bzr control directory and manages
4943
formatting issues. (Robert Collins)
4944
4945
* New repository.InterRepository class encapsulates Repository to
4946
Repository actions and allows for clean selection of optimised code
4947
paths. (Robert Collins)
4948
4949
* ``bzrlib.fetch.fetch`` and ``bzrlib.fetch.greedy_fetch`` are now
4950
deprecated, please use ``branch.fetch`` or ``repository.fetch``
4951
depending on your needs. (Robert Collins)
4952
4953
* deprecated methods now have a ``is_deprecated`` flag on them that can
4954
be checked, if you need to determine whether a given callable is
4955
deprecated at runtime. (Robert Collins)
4956
4957
* Progress bars are now nested - see
4958
``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory.nested_progress_bar``.
4959
(Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
4960
4961
* New API call ``get_format_description()`` for each type of format.
4962
(Olaf Conradi)
4963
4964
* Changed ``branch.set_parent()`` to accept None to remove parent.
4965
(Olaf Conradi)
4966
4967
* Deprecated BzrError AmbiguousBase. (Olaf Conradi)
4968
4969
* WorkingTree.branch is now a read only property. (Robert Collins)
4970
4971
* bzrlib.ui.text.TextUIFactory now accepts a ``bar_type`` parameter which
4972
can be None or a factory that will create a progress bar. This is
4973
useful for testing or for overriding the bzrlib.progress heuristic.
4974
(Robert Collins)
4975
4976
* New API method ``get_physical_lock_status()`` to query locks present on a
4977
transport. (Olaf Conradi)
4978
4979
* Repository.reconcile now takes a thorough keyword parameter to allow
4980
requesting an indepth reconciliation, rather than just a data-loss
4981
check. (Robert Collins)
4982
4983
* ``bzrlib.ui.ui_factory protocol`` now supports ``get_boolean`` to prompt
4984
the user for yes/no style input. (Robert Collins)
4985
4986
TESTING:
4987
4988
* SFTP tests now shortcut the SSH negotiation, reducing test overhead
4989
for testing SFTP protocol support. (Robey Pointer)
4990
4991
* Branch formats are now tested once per implementation (see ``bzrlib.
4992
tests.branch_implementations``. This is analagous to the transport
4993
interface tests, and has been followed up with working tree,
4994
repository and BzrDir tests. (Robert Collins)
4995
4996
* New test base class TestCaseWithTransport provides a transport aware
4997
test environment, useful for testing any transport-interface using
4998
code. The test suite option --transport controls the transport used
4999
by this class (when its not being used as part of implementation
5000
contract testing). (Robert Collins)
5001
5002
* Close logging handler on disabling the test log. This will remove the
5003
handler from the internal list inside python's logging module,
5004
preventing shutdown from closing it twice. (Olaf Conradi)
5005
5006
* Move test case for uncommit to blackbox tests. (Olaf Conradi)
5007
5008
* ``run_bzr`` and ``run_bzr_captured`` now accept a 'stdin="foo"'
5009
parameter which will provide String("foo") to the command as its stdin.

5012
------------------
5013
5014
CHANGES:
5015
5016
* .bzrignore is excluded from exports, on the grounds that it's a bzr
5017
internal-use file and may not be wanted. (Jamie Wilkinson)
5018
5019
* The "bzr directories" command were removed in favor of the new
5020
--kind option to the "bzr inventory" command. To list all
5021
versioned directories, now use "bzr inventory --kind directory".
5022
(Johan Rydberg)
5023
5024
* Under Windows configuration directory is now ``%APPDATA%\bazaar\2.0``
5025
by default. (John Arbash Meinel)
5026
5027
* The parent of Bzr configuration directory can be set by ``BZR_HOME``
5028
environment variable. Now the path for it is searched in ``BZR_HOME``,
5029
then in HOME. Under Windows the order is: ``BZR_HOME``, ``APPDATA``
5030
(usually points to ``C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data``),
5031
``HOME``. (John Arbash Meinel)
5032
5033
* Plugins with the same name in different directories in the bzr plugin
5034
path are no longer loaded: only the first successfully loaded one is
5035
used. (Robert Collins)
5036
5037
* Use systems' external ssh command to open connections if possible.
5038
This gives better integration with user settings such as ProxyCommand.
5039
(James Henstridge)
5040
5041
* Permissions on files underneath .bzr/ are inherited from the .bzr
5042
directory. So for a shared repository, simply doing 'chmod -R g+w .bzr/'
5043
will mean that future file will be created with group write permissions.
5044
5045
* configure.in and config.guess are no longer in the builtin default
5046
ignore list.
5047
5048
* '.sw[nop]' pattern ignored, to ignore vim swap files for nameless
5049
files. (John Arbash Meinel, Martin Pool)
5050
5051
IMPROVEMENTS:
5052
5053
* "bzr INIT dir" now initializes the specified directory, and creates
5054
it if it does not exist. (John Arbash Meinel)
5055
5056
* New remerge command (Aaron Bentley)
5057
5058
* Better zsh completion script. (Steve Borho)
5059
5060
* 'bzr diff' now returns 1 when there are changes in the working
5061
tree. (Robert Collins)
5062
5063
* 'bzr push' now exists and can push changes to a remote location.
5064
This uses the transport infrastructure, and can store the remote
5065
location in the ~/.bazaar/branches.conf configuration file.
5066
(Robert Collins)
5067
5068
* Test directories are only kept if the test fails and the user requests
5069
that they be kept.
5070
5071
* Tweaks to short log printing
5072
5073
* Added branch nicks, new nick command, printing them in log output.
5074
(Aaron Bentley)
5075
5076
* If ``$BZR_PDB`` is set, pop into the debugger when an uncaught exception
5077
occurs. (Martin Pool)
5078
5079
* Accept 'bzr resolved' (an alias for 'bzr resolve'), as this is
5080
the same as Subversion. (Martin Pool)
5081
5082
* New ftp transport support (on ftplib), for ftp:// and aftp://
5083
URLs. (Daniel Silverstone)
5084
5085
* Commit editor temporary files now start with ``bzr_log.``, to allow
5086
text editors to match the file name and set up appropriate modes or
5087
settings. (Magnus Therning)
5088
5089
* Improved performance when integrating changes from a remote weave.
5090
(Goffredo Baroncelli)
5091
5092
* Sftp will attempt to cache the connection, so it is more likely that
5093
a connection will be reused, rather than requiring multiple password
5094
requests.
5095
5096
* bzr revno now takes an optional argument indicating the branch whose
5097
revno should be printed. (Michael Ellerman)
5098
5099
* bzr cat defaults to printing the last version of the file.
5100
(Matthieu Moy, #3632)
5101
5102
* New global option 'bzr --lsprof COMMAND' runs bzr under the lsprof
5103
profiler. (Denys Duchier)
5104
5105
* Faster commits by reading only the headers of affected weave files.
5106
(Denys Duchier)
5107
5108
* 'bzr add' now takes a --dry-run parameter which shows you what would be
5109
added, but doesn't actually add anything. (Michael Ellerman)
5110
5111
* 'bzr add' now lists how many files were ignored per glob. add --verbose
5112
lists the specific files. (Aaron Bentley)
5113
5114
* 'bzr missing' now supports displaying changes in diverged trees and can
5115
be limited to show what either end of the comparison is missing.
5116
(Aaron Bently, with a little prompting from Daniel Silverstone)
5117
5118
BUG FIXES:
5119
5120
* SFTP can walk up to the root path without index errors. (Robert Collins)
5121
5122
* Fix bugs in running bzr with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5123
5124
* Error when run with -OO
5125
5126
* Fix bug in reporting http errors that don't have an http error code.
5127
(Martin Pool)
5128
5129
* Handle more cases of pipe errors in display commands
5130
5131
* Change status to 3 for all errors
5132
5133
* Files that are added and unlinked before committing are completely
5134
ignored by diff and status
5135
5136
* Stores with some compressed texts and some uncompressed texts are now
5137
able to be used. (John A Meinel)
5138
5139
* Fix for bzr pull failing sometimes under windows
5140
5141
* Fix for sftp transport under windows when using interactive auth
5142
5143
* Show files which are both renamed and modified as such in 'bzr
5144
status' output. (Daniel Silverstone, #4503)
5145
5146
* Make annotate cope better with revisions committed without a valid
5147
email address. (Marien Zwart)
5148
5149
* Fix representation of tab characters in commit messages.
5150
(Harald Meland)
5151
5152
* List of plugin directories in ``BZR_PLUGIN_PATH`` environment variable is
5153
now parsed properly under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5154
5155
* Show number of revisions pushed/pulled/merged. (Robey Pointer)
5156
5157
* Keep a cached copy of the basis inventory to speed up operations
5158
that need to refer to it. (Johan Rydberg, Martin Pool)
5159
5160
* Fix bugs in bzr status display of non-ascii characters.
5161
(Martin Pool)
5162
5163
* Remove Makefile.in from default ignore list.
5164
(Tollef Fog Heen, Martin Pool, #6413)
5165
5166
* Fix failure in 'bzr added'. (Nathan McCallum, Martin Pool)
5167
5168
TESTING:
5169
5170
* Fix selftest asking for passwords when there are no SFTP keys.
5171
(Robey Pointer, Jelmer Vernooij)
5172
5173
* Fix selftest run with 'python -O'. (Martin Pool)
5174
5175
* Fix HTTP tests under Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5176
5177
* Make tests work even if HOME is not set (Aaron Bentley)
5178
5179
* Updated ``build_tree`` to use fixed line-endings for tests which read
5180
the file cotents and compare. Make some tests use this to pass under
5181
Windows. (John Arbash Meinel)
5182
5183
* Skip stat and symlink tests under Windows. (Alexander Belchenko)
5184
5185
* Delay in selftest/testhashcash is now issued under win32 and Cygwin.
5186
(John Arbash Meinel)
5187
5188
* Use terminal width to align verbose test output. (Martin Pool)
5189
5190
* Blackbox tests are maintained within the bzrlib.tests.blackbox directory.
5191
If adding a new test script please add that to
5192
``bzrlib.tests.blackbox.__init__``. (Robert Collins)
5193
5194
* Much better error message if one of the test suites can't be
5195
imported. (Martin Pool)
5196
5197
* Make check now runs the test suite twice - once with the default locale,
5198
and once with all locales forced to C, to expose bugs. This is not
5199
trivially done within python, so for now its only triggered by running
5200
Make check. Integrators and packagers who wish to check for full
5201
platform support should run 'make check' to test the source.
5202
(Robert Collins)
5203
5204
* Tests can now run TestSkipped if they can't execute for any reason.
5205
(Martin Pool) (NB: TestSkipped should only be raised for correctable
5206
reasons - see the wiki spec ImprovingBzrTestSuite).
5207
5208
* Test sftp with relative, absolute-in-homedir and absolute-not-in-homedir
5209
paths for the transport tests. Introduce blackbox remote sftp tests that
5210
test the same permutations. (Robert Collins, Robey Pointer)
5211
5212
* Transport implementation tests are now independent of the local file
5213
system, which allows tests for esoteric transports, and for features
5214
not available in the local file system. They also repeat for variations
5215
on the URL scheme that can introduce issues in the transport code,
5216
see bzrlib.transport.TransportTestProviderAdapter() for this.
5217
(Robert Collins).
5218
5219
* ``TestCase.build_tree`` uses the transport interface to build trees,
5220
pass in a transport parameter to give it an existing connection.
5221
(Robert Collins).
5222
5223
INTERNALS:
5224
5225
* WorkingTree.pull has been split across Branch and WorkingTree,
5226
to allow Branch only pulls. (Robert Collins)
5227
5228
* ``commands.display_command`` now returns the result of the decorated
5229
function. (Robert Collins)
5230
5231
* LocationConfig now has a ``set_user_option(key, value)`` call to save
5232
a setting in its matching location section (a new one is created
5233
if needed). (Robert Collins)
5234
5235
* Branch has two new methods, ``get_push_location`` and
5236
``set_push_location`` to respectively, get and set the push location.
5237
(Robert Collins)
5238
5239
* ``commands.register_command`` now takes an optional flag to signal that
5240
the registrant is planning to decorate an existing command. When
5241
given multiple plugins registering a command is not an error, and
5242
the original command class (whether built in or a plugin based one) is
5243
returned to the caller. There is a new error 'MustUseDecorated' for
5244
signalling when a wrapping command should switch to the original
5245
version. (Robert Collins)
5246
5247
* Some option parsing errors will raise 'BzrOptionError', allowing
5248
granular detection for decorating commands. (Robert Collins).
5249
5250
* ``Branch.read_working_inventory`` has moved to
5251
``WorkingTree.read_working_inventory``. This necessitated changes to
5252
``Branch.get_root_id``, and a move of ``Branch.set_inventory`` to
5253
WorkingTree as well. To make it clear that a WorkingTree cannot always
5254
be obtained ``Branch.working_tree()`` will raise
5255
``errors.NoWorkingTree`` if one cannot be obtained. (Robert Collins)
5256
5257
* All pending merges operations from Branch are now on WorkingTree.
5258
(Robert Collins)
5259
5260
* The follow operations from Branch have moved to WorkingTree::
5261
5262
add()
5263
commit()
5264
move()
5265
rename_one()
5266
unknowns()
5267
5268
(Robert Collins)
5269
5270
* ``bzrlib.add.smart_add_branch`` is now ``smart_add_tree``. (Robert Collins)
5271
5272
* New "rio" serialization format, similar to rfc-822. (Martin Pool)
5273
5274
* Rename selftests to ``bzrlib.tests.test_foo``. (John A Meinel, Martin
5275
Pool)
5276
5277
* ``bzrlib.plugin.all_plugins`` has been changed from an attribute to a
5278
query method. (Robert Collins)
5279
5280
* New options to read only the table-of-contents of a weave.
5281
(Denys Duchier)
5282
5283
* Raise NoSuchFile when someone tries to add a non-existant file.
5284
(Michael Ellerman)
5285
5286
* Simplify handling of DivergedBranches in ``cmd_pull()``.
5287
(Michael Ellerman)
5288
5289
* Branch.controlfile* logic has moved to lockablefiles.LockableFiles, which
5290
is exposed as ``Branch().control_files``. Also this has been altered with the
5291
controlfile pre/suffix replaced by simple method names like 'get' and
5292
'put'. (Aaron Bentley, Robert Collins).
5293
5294
* Deprecated functions and methods can now be marked as such using the
5295
``bzrlib.symbol_versioning`` module. Marked method have their docstring
5296
updated and will issue a DeprecationWarning using the warnings module
5297
when they are used. (Robert Collins)
5298
5299
* ``bzrlib.osutils.safe_unicode`` now exists to provide parameter coercion
5300
for functions that need unicode strings. (Robert Collins)
5301
5302
bzr 0.6 2005-10-28
5303
------------------
5304
5305
IMPROVEMENTS:
5306
5307
* pull now takes --verbose to show you what revisions are added or removed
5308
(John A Meinel)
5309
5310
* merge now takes a --show-base option to include the base text in
5311
conflicts.
5312
(Aaron Bentley)
5313
5314
* The config files are now read using ConfigObj, so '=' should be used as
5315
a separator, not ':'.
5316
(Aaron Bentley)
5317
5318
* New 'bzr commit --strict' option refuses to commit if there are
5319
any unknown files in the tree. To commit, make sure all files are
5320
either ignored, added, or deleted. (Michael Ellerman)
5321
5322
* The config directory is now ~/.bazaar, and there is a single file
5323
~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf storing email, editor and other preferences.
5324
(Robert Collins)
5325
5326
* 'bzr add' no longer takes a --verbose option, and a --quiet option
5327
has been added that suppresses all output.
5328
5329
* Improved zsh completion support in contrib/zsh, from Clint
5330
Adams.
5331
5332
* Builtin 'bzr annotate' command, by Martin Pool with improvements from
5333
Goffredo Baroncelli.
5334
5335
* 'bzr check' now accepts -v for verbose reporting, and checks for
5336
ghosts in the branch. (Robert Collins)
5337
5338
* New command 're-sign' which will regenerate the gpg signature for
5339
a revision. (Robert Collins)
5340
5341
* If you set ``check_signatures=require`` for a path in
5342
``~/.bazaar/branches.conf`` then bzr will invoke your
5343
``gpg_signing_command`` (defaults to gpg) and record a digital signature
5344
of your commit. (Robert Collins)
5345
5346
* New sftp transport, based on Paramiko. (Robey Pointer)
5347
5348
* 'bzr pull' now accepts '--clobber' which will discard local changes
5349
and make this branch identical to the source branch. (Robert Collins)
5350
5351
* Just give a quieter warning if a plugin can't be loaded, and
5352
put the details in .bzr.log. (Martin Pool)
5353
5354
* 'bzr branch' will now set the branch-name to the last component of the
5355
output directory, if one was supplied.
5356
5357
* If the option ``post_commit`` is set to one (or more) python function
5358
names (must be in the bzrlib namespace), then they will be invoked
5359
after the commit has completed, with the branch and ``revision_id`` as
5360
parameters. (Robert Collins)
5361
5362
* Merge now has a retcode of 1 when conflicts occur. (Robert Collins)
5363
5364
* --merge-type weave is now supported for file contents. Tree-shape
5365
changes are still three-way based. (Martin Pool, Aaron Bentley)
5366
5367
* 'bzr check' allows the first revision on revision-history to have
5368
parents - something that is expected for cheap checkouts, and occurs
5369
when conversions from baz do not have all history. (Robert Collins).
5370
5371
* 'bzr merge' can now graft unrelated trees together, if your specify
5372
0 as a base. (Aaron Bentley)
5373
5374
* 'bzr commit branch' and 'bzr commit branch/file1 branch/file2' now work
5375
(Aaron Bentley)
5376
5377
* Add '.sconsign*' to default ignore list. (Alexander Belchenko)
5378
5379
* 'bzr merge --reprocess' minimizes conflicts
5380
5381
TESTING:
5382
5383
* The 'bzr selftest --pattern' option for has been removed, now
5384
test specifiers on the command line can be simple strings, or
5385
regexps, or both. (Robert Collins)
5386
5387
* Passing -v to selftest will now show the time each test took to
5388
complete, which will aid in analysing performance regressions and
5389
related questions. (Robert Collins)
5390
5391
* 'bzr selftest' runs all tests, even if one fails, unless '--one'
5392
is given. (Martin Pool)
5393
5394
* There is a new method for TestCaseInTempDir, assertFileEqual, which
5395
will check that a given content is equal to the content of the named
5396
file. (Robert Collins)
5397
5398
* Fix test suite's habit of leaving many temporary log files in $TMPDIR.
5399
(Martin Pool)
5400
5401
INTERNALS:
5402
5403
* New 'testament' command and concept for making gpg-signatures
5404
of revisions that are not tied to a particular internal
5405
representation. (Martin Pool).
5406
5407
* Per-revision properties ('revprops') as key-value associated
5408
strings on each revision created when the revision is committed.
5409
Intended mainly for the use of external tools. (Martin Pool).
5410
5411
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5412
(Robert Collins)
5413
5414
* Improved command line option definitions allowing explanations
5415
for individual options, among other things. Contributed by
5416
Magnus Therning.
5417
5418
* Config options have moved from bzrlib.osutils to bzrlib.config.
5419
Configuration is now done via the config.Config interface:
5420
Depending on whether you have a Branch, a Location or no information
5421
available, construct a ``*Config``, and use its ``signature_checking``,
5422
``username`` and ``user_email`` methods. (Robert Collins)
5423
5424
* Plugins are now loaded under bzrlib.plugins, not bzrlib.plugin, and
5425
they are made available for other plugins to use. You should not
5426
import other plugins during the ``__init__`` of your plugin though, as
5427
no ordering is guaranteed, and the plugins directory is not on the
5428
python path. (Robert Collins)
5429
5430
* Branch.relpath has been moved to WorkingTree.relpath. WorkingTree no
5431
no longer takes an inventory, rather it takes an option branch
5432
parameter, and if None is given will open the branch at basedir
5433
implicitly. (Robert Collins)
5434
5435
* Cleaner exception structure and error reporting. Suggested by
5436
Scott James Remnant. (Martin Pool)
5437
5438
* Branch.remove has been moved to WorkingTree, which has also gained
5439
``lock_read``, ``lock_write`` and ``unlock`` methods for convenience.
5440
(Robert Collins)
5441
5442
* Two decorators, ``needs_read_lock`` and ``needs_write_lock`` have been
5443
added to the branch module. Use these to cause a function to run in a
5444
read or write lock respectively. (Robert Collins)
5445
5446
* ``Branch.open_containing`` now returns a tuple (Branch, relative-path),
5447
which allows direct access to the common case of 'get me this file
5448
from its branch'. (Robert Collins)
5449
5450
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5451
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5452
5453
* 'pull' has been factored out of the command as ``WorkingTree.pull()``.
5454
A new option to WorkingTree.pull has been added, clobber, which will
5455
ignore diverged history and pull anyway.
5456
(Robert Collins)
5457
5458
* config.Config has a ``get_user_option`` call that accepts an option name.
5459
This will be looked up in branches.conf and bazaar.conf as normal.
5460
It is intended that this be used by plugins to support options -
5461
options of built in programs should have specific methods on the config.
5462
(Robert Collins)
5463
5464
* ``merge.merge_inner`` now has tempdir as an optional parameter.
5465
(Robert Collins)
5466
5467
* Tree.kind is not recorded at the top level of the hierarchy, as it was
5468
missing on EmptyTree, leading to a bug with merge on EmptyTrees.
5469
(Robert Collins)
5470
5471
* ``WorkingTree.__del__`` has been removed, it was non deterministic and not
5472
doing what it was intended to. See ``WorkingTree.__init__`` for a comment
5473
about future directions. (Robert Collins/Martin Pool)
5474
5475
* bzrlib.transport.http has been modified so that only 404 urllib errors
5476
are returned as NoSuchFile. Other exceptions will propogate as normal.
5477
This allows debuging of actual errors. (Robert Collins)
5478
5479
* bzrlib.transport.Transport now accepts *ONLY* url escaped relative paths
5480
to apis like 'put', 'get' and 'has'. This is to provide consistent
5481
behaviour - it operates on url's only. (Robert Collins)
5482
5483
* Transports can register using ``register_lazy_transport``, and they
5484
will be loaded when first used. (Martin Pool)
5485
5486
* ``merge_flex`` no longer calls ``conflict_handler.finalize()``, instead that
5487
is called by ``merge_inner``. This is so that the conflict count can be
5488
retrieved (and potentially manipulated) before returning to the caller
5489
of ``merge_inner``. Likewise 'merge' now returns the conflict count to the
5490
caller. (Robert Collins)
5491
5492
* ``revision.revision_graph`` can handle having only partial history for
5493
a revision - that is no revisions in the graph with no parents.
5494
(Robert Collins).
5495
5496
* New ``builtins.branch_files`` uses the standard ``file_list`` rules to
5497
produce a branch and a list of paths, relative to that branch
5498
(Aaron Bentley)
5499
5500
* New TestCase.addCleanup facility.
5501
5502
* New ``bzrlib.version_info`` tuple (similar to ``sys.version_info``),
5503
which can be used by programs importing bzrlib.
5504
5505
BUG FIXES:
5506
5507
* Better handling of branches in directories with non-ascii names.
5508
(Joel Rosdahl, Panagiotis Papadakos)
5509
5510
* Upgrades of trees with no commits will not fail due to accessing
5511
[-1] in the revision-history. (Andres Salomon)

5513
5514
bzr 0.1.1 2005-10-12
5515
--------------------
5516
5517
BUG FIXES:
5518
5519
* Fix problem in pulling over http from machines that do not
5520
allow directories to be listed.
5521
5522
* Avoid harmless warning about invalid hash cache after
5523
upgrading branch format.
5524
5525
PERFORMANCE:
5526
5527
* Avoid some unnecessary http operations in branch and pull.
5528
5529
5530
bzr 0.1 2005-10-11
5531
------------------
5532
5533
NOTES:
5534
5535
* 'bzr branch' over http initially gives a very high estimate
5536
of completion time but it should fall as the first few
5537
revisions are pulled in. branch is still slow on
5538
high-latency connections.
5539
5540
BUG FIXES:
5541
5542
* bzr-man.py has been updated to work again. Contributed by
5543
Rob Weir.
5544
5545
* Locking is now done with fcntl.lockf which works with NFS
5546
file systems. Contributed by Harald Meland.
5547
5548
* When a merge encounters a file that has been deleted on
5549
one side and modified on the other, the old contents are
5550
written out to foo.BASE and foo.SIDE, where SIDE is this
5551
or OTHER. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5552
5553
* Export was choosing incorrect file paths for the content of
5554
the tarball, this has been fixed by Aaron Bentley.
5555
5556
* Commit will no longer commit without a log message, an
5557
error is returned instead. Contributed by Jelmer Vernooij.
5558
5559
* If you commit a specific file in a sub directory, any of its
5560
parent directories that are added but not listed will be
5561
automatically included. Suggested by Michael Ellerman.
5562
5563
* bzr commit and upgrade did not correctly record new revisions
5564
for files with only a change to their executable status.
5565
bzr will correct this when it encounters it. Fixed by
5566
Robert Collins
5567
5568
* HTTP tests now force off the use of ``http_proxy`` for the duration.
5569
Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.
5570
5571
* Fix problems in merging weave-based branches that have
5572
different partial views of history.
5573
5574
* Symlink support: working with symlinks when not in the root of a
5575
bzr tree was broken, patch from Scott James Remnant.
5576
5577
IMPROVEMENTS:
5578
5579
* 'branch' now accepts a --basis parameter which will take advantage
5580
of local history when making a new branch. This allows faster
5581
branching of remote branches. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5582
5583
* New tree format based on weave files, called version 5.
5584
Existing branches can be upgraded to this format using
5585
'bzr upgrade'.
5586
5587
* Symlinks are now versionable. Initial patch by
5588
Erik Toubro Nielsen, updated to head by Robert Collins.
5589
5590
* Executable bits are tracked on files. Patch from Gustavo
5591
Niemeyer.
5592
5593
* 'bzr status' now shows unknown files inside a selected directory.
5594
Patch from Heikki Paajanen.
5595
5596
* Merge conflicts are recorded in .bzr. Two new commands 'conflicts'
5597
and 'resolve' have needed added, which list and remove those
5598
merge conflicts respectively. A conflicted tree cannot be committed
5599
in. Contributed by Aaron Bentley.
5600
5601
* 'rm' is now an alias for 'remove'.
5602
5603
* Stores now split out their content in a single byte prefixed hash,
5604
dropping the density of files per directory by 256. Contributed by
5605
Gustavo Niemeyer.
5606
5607
* 'bzr diff -r branch:URL' will now perform a diff between two branches.
5608
Contributed by Robert Collins.
5609
5610
* 'bzr log' with the default formatter will show merged revisions,
5611
indented to the right. Initial implementation contributed by Gustavo
5612
Niemeyer, made incremental by Robert Collins.
5613
5614
5615
INTERNALS:
5616
5617
* Test case failures have the exception printed after the log
5618
for your viewing pleasure.
5619
5620
* InventoryEntry is now an abstract base class, use one of the
5621
concrete InventoryDirectory etc classes instead.
5622
5623
* Branch raises an UnsupportedFormatError when it detects a
5624
bzr branch it cannot understand. This allows for precise
5625
handling of such circumstances.
5626
5627
* Remove RevisionReference class; ``Revision.parent_ids`` is now simply a
5628
list of their ids and ``parent_sha1s`` is a list of their corresponding
5629
sha1s (for old branches only at the moment.)
5630
5631
* New method-object style interface for Commit() and Fetch().
5632
5633
* Renamed ``Branch.last_patch()`` to ``Branch.last_revision()``, since
5634
we call them revisions not patches.
5635
5636
* Move ``copy_branch`` to ``bzrlib.clone.copy_branch``. The destination
5637
directory is created if it doesn't exist.
5638
5639
* Inventories now identify the files which were present by
5640
giving the revision *of that file*.
5641
5642
* Inventory and Revision XML contains a version identifier.
5643
This must be consistent with the overall branch version
5644
but allows for more flexibility in future upgrades.
5645
5646
TESTING:
5647
5648
* Removed testsweet module so that tests can be run after
5649
bzr installed by 'bzr selftest'.
5650
5651
* 'bzr selftest' command-line arguments can now be partial ids
5652
of tests to run, e.g. ``bzr selftest test_weave``
5653

5655
bzr 0.0.9 2005-09-23
5656
--------------------
5657
5658
BUG FIXES:
5659
5660
* Fixed "branch -r" option.
5661
5662
* Fix remote access to branches containing non-compressed history.
5663
(Robert Collins).
5664
5665
* Better reliability of http server tests. (John Arbash-Meinel)
5666
5667
* Merge graph maximum distance calculation fix. (Aaron Bentley)
5668
5669
* Various minor bug in windows support have been fixed, largely in the
5670
test suite. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5671
5672
IMPROVEMENTS:
5673
5674
* Status now accepts a -r argument to give status between chosen
5675
revisions. Contributed by Heikki Paajanen.
5676
5677
* Revision arguments no longer use +/-/= to control ranges, instead
5678
there is a 'before' namespace, which limits the successive namespace.
5679
For example '$ bzr log -r date:yesterday..before:date:today' will
5680
select everything from yesterday and before today. Contributed by
5681
Robey Pointer
5682
5683
* There is now a bzr.bat file created by distutils when building on
5684
Windows. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko.
5685
5686
INTERNALS:
5687
5688
* Removed uuid() as it was unused.
5689
5690
* Improved 'fetch' code for pulling revisions from one branch into
5691
another (used by pull, merged, etc.)
5692
5693
5694
bzr 0.0.8 2005-09-20
5695
--------------------
5696
5697
IMPROVEMENTS:
5698
5699
* Adding a file whose parent directory is not versioned will
5700
implicitly add the parent, and so on up to the root. This means
5701
you should never need to explictly add a directory, they'll just
5702
get added when you add a file in the directory. Contributed by
5703
Michael Ellerman.
5704
5705
* Ignore ``.DS_Store`` (contains Mac metadata) by default.
5706
(Nir Soffer)
5707
5708
* If you set ``BZR_EDITOR`` in the environment, it is checked in
5709
preference to EDITOR and the config file for the interactive commit
5710
editing program. Related to this is a bugfix where a missing program
5711
set in EDITOR would cause editing to fail, now the fallback program
5712
for the operating system is still tried.
5713
5714
* Files that are not directories/symlinks/regular files will no longer
5715
cause bzr to fail, it will just ignore them by default. You cannot add
5716
them to the tree though - they are not versionable.
5717

INTERNALS:

* Refactor xml packing/unpacking.

5723
BUG FIXES:
5724
5725
* Fixed 'bzr mv' by Ollie Rutherfurd.
5726
5727
* Fixed strange error when trying to access a nonexistent http
5728
branch.
5729
5730
* Make sure that the hashcache gets written out if it can't be
5731
read.
5732
5733
5734
PORTABILITY:
5735
5736
* Various Windows fixes from Ollie Rutherfurd.

plugin directory which is not only installed with bzr itself but
99
5834
is also available when using bzr from the development tree.
100
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH and DEFAULT_PLUGIN_PATH are then added to the
